The Day The Music Died

Or the night...

Last night, I was spinning away, happily watching my TV shows...when BAM both my treadles hit the ground. I look at my wheel dumb founded. The metal piece that attaches the treadles to the wheel itself snapped in half. This is a two inch wide...semi thick piece that has two holes drilled in it and is screwed directly to the wheel itself. My spinning production has come to a screeching halt. *sob*

Hopefully, I can find the correct piece to fix it today. I will not panic and I will stay positive. I will not panic...I will NOT panic.
