I had a blast despite feeling under the weather; I was a couch pilot Wednesday, Thursday, and Monday but had good days Friday through Sunday. I tend to get a sinus infection in the fall for some reason, and this weekend brought a really nasty one. I&#8217;m still fighting it, and I think all the stuff in the air is the reason why.<\/p>\n<p>This sunset photo was taken from an anonymous overpass in eastern North Dakota&#8230;I don&#8217;t even remember where, but it was remote. I was hoping to get on the road in time to reach the Prairie Pothole lakes for the sunset, but sadly that didn&#8217;t happen. No worries, I was treated to an amazing sky nearly all the way home&#8230;and by the time it got dark, my windshield was so pasted with bugs that I couldn&#8217;t see much anyway! A quick stop at King Koin to pressure wash the truck took care of that once I reached Bismarck. Sometimes I take my Suzuki down to Fargo, park it in the KVLY garage, and drive one of their cars for the weekend. I&#8217;m sure glad I didn&#8217;t do that this time around! Cleaning bugs off my leathers and helmet is NOT fun.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I spent a good chunk of this weekend in the Fargo-Moorhead area, as I was the graphics operator for some good ol&#8217; college football on TV.
