Ok, not today but last Sunday, but that's close enough.
This has been one of the finest Minnesota falls I can remember. It was high 70's to low 80s. Decided it was time to get the bike ready for winter. Mine is not as tolerant of inclement weather as Ken's. Even rain in the summer is a show stopper.
Got it all cleaned up ...
... then covered with the battery charger attached. Just push the the lift and bike into the garage and we're done. But a little bad news, but also some good news.
The bad news is that the dolly handle for the lift broke.
The good news is that it broke after the lift and bike were in the garage and within inches of where I wanted it anyway so no need to panic.
Further good news is that I have a model ... thought somewhat distorted ... from which I can get the dimensions to make a better one.
And the ultimate good news is that I am still able to get the bike on and off the lift without any problems. Therefore I see many opportunities for the procrastination that will be required in my future to not make a new handle until I absolutely have to, maybe mid-summer of 2016!!
Isn't life wonderful!!
