My bike is dead in the water so to speak. The battery is hanging in there, and I always leave my bike on a trickle charge when it's parked at home. It's a 2003 and I've replaced the battery once. It's probably time to do it again.
Sad to say I have a more expensive problem afoot now. The back brake started making noise the last time I rode it, so it's in the garage until next spring probably. Unless I have manna falling from heaven, I won't have money for it until then. I've even toyed with the idea of getting a new bike. It would probably be my last one, and I sure would like to have a tourer with hard locking cases and a much nicer windshield than the cheapo scratched and scarred thing I'm riding with now. I need to sit down and figure the difference between getting all the much needed service to my bike and the expense of buying a new one.
So, I'm in for the weekend, but that's OK since I haven't been feeling well. I've read a lot, listened to some music, done some baking and enjoyed the fall colors through the windows. Feeling ill almost helps the transition from riding to driving my car . My fellow riders know the impending sense of doom associated with this season of the year.

I say get a new one, but then it's not my money. :)
I've been meaning to send you this link for the longest time. It's for the baby blanket you asked about the pattern for:

Hope you feel better!
I do feel better, thank you. I feel badly about all that sunshine I missed though. There aren't going to be too many more days like we had this last weekend before the snow starts to fly. So, you think I should get a new bike, huh? I do too, but just don't know if I can swing it or not. I'm definitely going to have to start pinching my pennies. Thanks for the baby blanket pattern. Didn't you tell me that you found a mistake in the pattern?
Hope you're better by now. Of course I'll say get a new one if you can manage. And this is a tough time of year when you know you can't just jump on and go.
