well, my riding season has officially ended. i removed the heart from my baby today to put it on the ol' trickle charger for the winter. i tucked her in tight and gave her a little kiss, told her i'd see her at the first sign of the spring thaw. it's supposed to be in the 40's for the high here all next week, with even a chance of :yikes: snow. thank god i can come here and live vicariously through you west coasters for the next 3-4 months. it's gonna be a loooong winter....
