Short

Another early meeting at work. My little Cateye tail light was running out of juice yesterday by the time I got home, so I charged up a couple of NiMH AAA batteries I had and went to put them in this morning. When I pulled the old batteries out, one of the metal contacts broke off. The blasted light is practically new, damnit. So I fiddled around for a while trying to rig it up so it would work because the fog outside was like pea soup, but nothing would work. By the time I headed out I was already late, so I could do only a very short ride. By the time I got to the levee, drops of water were already dripping off the front of my helmet onto my nose. It was not much different from a ride in the rain. Rushed home, rushed to work, etc., etc. Not a good day.
