trashed winter wheelset

i hate bike maintennce, i really do. here's a case in which there's not much choice. the front hub is done, so it'll be a full replacement. more like i'll sacrifice one of my summer wheels until i find a suitably junky replacement. it was a little scary because i noticed this a couple of blocks into the start of my ride. i thought it was just a broken spoke until i noticed that the spoke that was sticking out still had its head!

oh, and as a bonus, the bearings in my rear hub are shot too. gotta sacrifice both wheels from my summer commuting rig :-(
