Hi Tom,
It was an absolute pleasure to meet you and learn from you. When I left I had the confidence to handle getting those cables on and off quickly and in the safest way possible. I appreciate the lesson and knowing that so many of your students will be driving around the same roads I'll be on.
So later that day as I had my new set of cables in the back of my car, I was talking to my friend at work that was having the toughest time getting chains or cables for his SUV. He was planning on taking his 7-year-old daughter up to Big Bear to see snow for the first time in her life. He just couldn't find anything available locally for his 22" tires and changed his plans so he would rent a 4WD jeep and then would get chains for that rental. I was hoping to pass along the lessons I had learned earlier in the day and told him the brand of cables that I had. We looked up his tire size and by amazing coincidence it was the exact same model cables that I had. I told him to borrow the cables and that just made his day! So that afternoon, I was in the parking lot giving him a lesson on how to properly install them. The next day, he had an amazing time with his family and they took their sled on untouched snow. Overall they had a flawless trip. He did use the cables once they got close to Big Bear and was so happy to be able to drive his own car and not have to spend extra on a rental.
I'm so glad that I was able to magnify the impact of your lesson and I'll try to pass along the knowledge to whoever else needs it.
Thanks and have a great day,
Ben
