Today we did the annual "Blessed in Hell" Event in Hell, MI.  This is a fun event with vendors, bands, greasy food and an hourly blessing of the bikes for a safe riding season.  The weather cooperated and we had a lot of fun looking at all the bikes, checking out the latest ladies fashions in tattoos and marveling at how many ladies are sporting them these days. 

From there we rode into town and met up with an old friend who has started a motorcycle and off road vehicle business.  Had a nice visit and plan to go riding with him before leaving for Sturgis.  He's got a "sport bike" and I think he'll take me on some interesting roads around the lakes. 

Back home now and looking forward to a quiet dinner and some early rack time.  Tomorrow I'll have to get all the the bugs, dirt and grime off the bike.  Supposed to rain so it's a good day to be cleaning it up.
