Got the battery-powered Christmas lights and the big stereo on the ol' chrome Schwinn cruiser, and did the recon for the upcoming group light-viewing rides on Friday the 16th and Monday the 26th. A cooler and damper than usual night in Moon Valley, and an inopportune failure of the battery connector to the headlight had me channeling my inner longshoreman and using language somewhat inconsistent with the surrounding decor. But got it working with some impromptu rewiring, and made it home appropriately illuminated.
