Not very often you can say you had a "nice" ride in December in these parts, but yesterday, December 2 was a nice ride. Went into Hamilton and dropped off some dvd's for a buddy and had a lunch at Denningers. Donna doesn't like Denningers but I am a big fan, so I usually only go without her. I had the ole standby, a cordon bleu, schnitzel with ham and cheese stuffed in it. The temperature was about 12C when I left but dropped down to 7C by the time I got home so I was glad to get off.
I have just finished my shutdown. Went for a quick (and bloody cold) ride to Crappy Tire and bought my Sta-Bil for the gas, added that in the parking lot so it gets a nice mix by the time I get home. Had the shed all cleaned out and pulled the baby into hibernation. Had to do a little back and forth, but not much. Fits nicely on one side and I still have a little room to get the battery out etc.
Last year I stored it away in a guys insulated (but not heated) barn and this year I was going to use Al's new garage but he stopped by this morning and said we will have to wait a day or so because last nights rain left a big puddle in front of the doors, but my backyard is fine, so I figured I might as well put it away here, I won't be getting it out any sooner being at Al's and here I can go check anytime I want.
Well, its a sad day but at least I'm up $60 in storage rental fees from last year.
