Last 60s day, planned on an afternoon ride, but got a wobbly tummy after painting with varnish, think the fumes got to me. Was outside, didn't think fumes would be a problem. At least that's done for the year.

I've resurrected 3 or 4 batteries I let sit too long that the chargers said was a goner. Hook up another battery in parallel and the charger will work, about 30 minutes and the battery will continue charging with the other one disconnected. I've had a couple drop down around 11V after sitting a day or two, and a second charge keeps them at 12+. As long as they're not shorted or sulfated too bad; then they sometimes charge up but lose it the instant you hit the starter. I just had to do this with my van last week, it seldom gets used in summer. Works on lithium batteries, too. A lot of those tool batteries that won't recharge have just dropped a little below the built in cut off voltage on the chargers, bring them up with a charged battery and they'll charge again. Till they're actually worn out, of course.

My dining room table had to make room for motorcycles a few years ago. Never missed it.
