Dear Chain - and at great risk of offending the mod
Several years ago in february while attempting to get from sacramento back
to portland with the transplant for the 85 we had just bought - we were
stopped at the bottom of shasta pass on the california side - at about 10
pm shiff not allowing anyone with out chains to go any further - all
service stations had sold out of any chains bigger then 10 inch wheels -
outside there was a guy in an old wreck of a truck with several 5 gallon
buckets with chains -- and a line of cars -- the price for a pair of chains
was 10 or 20$ installed by him -- the fellow had a long beard - long hair -
both a tangle - he had clothes that had long since been retired by the rag
pickers son - - he worked with speed and dexterity --
i got in the line up - when we got to him after about 1.5 hour he looked at
me and asked why we were wanting to chain up our rented cadillac escalade
4X4--
so i asked a sheriff warming up - he said no worries with 4x4 - just get at
it -
so then i asked the guy with the 5 gallon buckets about his chain business
cause he gave me a card - seems he would sell loads of chins in these
moments - install them and then drive up to the top of the mountain and
pick them from the ditch in the spring - from where people had unchained
and tossed them --
hmm a recurring business model --
regards
