i slept really hard last night and had a hard time getting up this morning. once out of bed i looked out the window, no rain just wet roads so i decided to go riding. i went out and made sure that the Mighty ST 1300 would start up, it did so i let it warm up for a few minutes before shutting it off. i went back in and got keys for the safari van so i could move it but it didn't start, i had been expecting this so rather than put it off i went back in and got keys for the club wagon so i could get the new battery for the safari out of it. after changing batteries the safari started right up and i moved it to the curb then went back in so i could get dressed for my ride
 
the weather guessers said it was 50f out but didn't say anything about the breeze coming out of the west. it was very cloudy and looked like it would rain at any minute, i was more worried about getting out of the hood without dropping the bike on all the wet leaves on the ground
 
i made my way north on schafer, east on joy road then south on livernois before taking michigan ave. east and spotting this new mural

i though i would ride over to william g. milliken park for a pic with the lighthouse. you have to take a walking path to get this pic but the LEO's usually don't bother you this time of year. going there also got me a better pic of that laker that i spotted on belle isle
