Summer Dream 2006

I don’t know how necessary it was to take a few days off, but it sure felt good. Woke to a drizzle that made it nice to be off the road. Barb and I chatted and toured the area. A visit to the local Harley shop produced a souvenier shirt on sale, oil for a change and a new helmet. The current helmet is too loose fitting and it didn't show up until about 1000 miles out. With many hours yet to spend under it, it needs to fit better. A lot of wind noise, etc.

A walking tour of the Lake Minnetonka area and a century old railroad station was wonderful, stretching legs that haven't walked much in a week. And two great trains passed through town producing one quick photo shown here. Evening was another great series of snacks and dinner, and getting my butt whipped over a game of dominos. Little Joe was no help as he slept all day and was into the wine by game time.

Tomorrow the local Lumberjack festival over on the Mississippi. Does that sound just like Oregon? I can tell you that I'm excited!!
