This year's Minnesota State Fair was no let down. There was an enormous sea of people. This is like this each and every day the fair is open, and like this each and every year. There was good eatin, baby animals (chicks) and such, very large vegetables, nice melons, and generally a good time was had by the Mr. Motorcycle clan, Oh yeah, and don't forget, ther was some spectacular people watchin as usual.
I promised I'd post some pics, but took so many, I put together a little slide show.
There is sound, so If you are at work, or if you can't stand the song Svefn G Englar by Sigur Ros, then turn the sound off before clicking on the show.

God really does care. Here is an inspirational photo as proof of God's love for us all.
This almost put a lump in my throat...
.
I seldom pass along inspirational or spiritual stuff, but this one really got to me.
.
I believe, in these difficult and mean-spirited times in which we live, there needs to be a message of hope.
.
We can all use a single image that speaks to us of love, harmony, peace, and joy.
.
I have been sent that image, and I want to share it with all of you.
.
All I ask is that you take a moment to reflect on it...

See,
He really does care!

Harley-Davidson motorcycle 105th rally wrap-up
Well, I'm back from Milwaukee, and glad of it! It was a bit disappointing from a traffic point of view, but as always, I learned new things and met new people - and that is always good! This show wraps up our rally schedule for 2008. Now if I could just sneak away for a few hours for a ride...
Son's of Anarchy review
I watched the season premier of Son's of Anarchy last night, and boy oh boy was it good, I mean really good. I'm hooked for sure. I can only hope the rest of the show will be as good as the season premier.
I'm not going into any details about the show, just in case you missed it. If so, hopefully you'll find a way to see it if someone recorded it, or maybe they'll replay the premier and you can watch it for yourselves. If you need details, let me know via e-mail and I'll be happy to fill you in.
The show was just as good as they had built it up to be.

2008 Minnesota Renaissance Festival
This year Just before going to the Minnesota State Fair, I took my wife and kids to the 2008 Renaissance Festival.
I went once as a child, and went again once as a teenager, and waited untill this year to go again.
My wife and kids had never been. My wife and 13 year old daughter had fun. (Lots of shopping). Even my 16 yr old Son had a good time.
There was lots to do and see.
See for yourself.
You know how at a Star Trek Convention, the Trekies dress up like Characters form the show?
Well, It's can be like that here too. This Gal did not work here, but got in on the spirit of renaissace. Many more folks dressed the part as well.
Comedian jugglers and knife throwers
A comedian and magician all rolled up into one.
"A pirate goes into a bar and the bartender says to the pirate... Excuse me mate, but did you know you have a steerin wheel in yer trousers? Yes, I did, and it's been drivin me nuts all day!"
Great shops
A bit of archery for the young lad Mr. Motorcycle Jr.
Awesome weapons, all hand crafted. These are REAL!
Not only are all of these weapons real, hand crafted, originals, and duplicates of originals,
they will sell them to the general public, and will let any oldMr. Motorcycle Joe handle them.
Great costumes. These remind me of Mardi Gras!
Jousting took place.
Look at the dents in this guys armor. These guys really whack the sh*t out of each other!
Cool artwork, fitting for the Renaissance, and for motorcycle blog, and motorcycle lovers.
The artist who had done the painting started freaking out on me while I was trying to take this picture. Artist: "Excuse me, what the Hell do you think you're doing taking a picture of my artwork?" Me: kinda dumbfounded say... "Um, I'm not going to try to duplicate it or sell it or anything. I just thought it was really cool., I have a motorcycle blog, and thought I'd share it." Artist: "Cool. go right ahead. " Whew! Me: "Thanks!"
See what I go through for you folks!
A guy with a twisted sense of humor like me.
Water bottle shoved up a stuffed animals Ass.
My son and daughter (Micky Mouse looking characters) having a sword fight duel.
First one to pop the others two ballons wins.
It was a close battle but the victor was the boy.
My daughter did an excellent job bleeding and twitching for the crowd though!
Finally, on the way out, I spotted this t-shirt. Way funny!
