Bayfront Festival Park

Despite horrible looking skies, my ride to Bemidji and the eighth 10 Rides for 2022 photo was fairly uneventful. I say fairly because I got pulled over for speeding a couple of miles west of Deer River. I must've been daydreaming because I thought I was going about 5 mph over, but was actually 12 or 13. He ran my license and tag, and with no issues on either, said have a nice day. No citation. Cool.

When I got back to Duluth about 13:30, I went straight to the dealership. My shifter peg started spinning and I don't have tools with me this time. Plus, my rear left tail light isn't working...then it is...then it isn't.... They tightened the peg (I thought it might be stripped, but nope), but they think the light has something to do with my ACC short/fault because the LED bulb was working for them. I have another HD lined up to troubleshoot all of that Saturday.

The rest of the rally rolled in about 16:00-17:00 and we had another nice meal and conversation. They were in probably more rain than I was yesterday and some even hit hail, which I thankfully didn't. But everyone made it unscathed.

I raced back to the hotel about 7 miles away to beat a nasty downpour I really didn't want to get caught in. I dodged rain all day today, hitting some but not for long and not very heavy. Just enough to get you damp, but not enough to mess with my heated gear. Yes, it was 55 when I left the hotel at 07:30 and I don't think it got over 65 all day. The wind chill was cold. Anyway, I made it back and parked under the overhang just in time.

Now, I'm kicking back in the air conditioning because I can't open the window (12th floor). Not a terrible day after all.

So long [for now], and thanks for all the fish! ✌️
