It's cold again!

I rode my oldest bike this morning, it's from the 30's, complete with an early dynohub that puts out 12 volts, running an old headlight that I modernized with LED's. All good fun... but today there was a short circuit where the wires attach to the hub. The result was that the light would be lit for most of the revolution of the wheel, but at one point it would go dark for an instant. Really annoying! I stopped to try to fix it a couple times, which caused me to miss my train; was still trying to fix it when the next one came in. I think found the problem, and will be able to fix it easily enough when I get back there, about two hours from now.
