[QUOTE="Abbey, post: 297880, member: 179"] First day of full reunion activity...and we missed the first 2 events!! We went hiking in the hills about an hour away for a good couple of hours (so nice to see the Black Hills again), then went back to the car and found a flat tire.:angry: Now we're in a very remote area so the guys tried to put on the 'donut' tire. Couldn't get the darn wing-nut off of the jack. We pounded, wrenched, everything and the bugger wouldn't budge. So we call AAA. Try explaining to them where you are. "It's past Hill City, take the 3rd dirt road, then vere left about mile into it - no road, but you'll see tire tracks." The guy remarkably found us about 2 hours later. We get the donut on and he tells us there is Bob's Shop in Hill City. He should be able to fix the tire. We get there at 5:05pm...he's closed.:angry::angry: So we risk driving back to Rapid City with that bicycle tire on. Went directly to Sam's club and get the tire fixed. By that time, we were all yucky but wanted to make the last event of the day - 'tour of Rapid City bars.' And tour we did.:raspberry-tounge: Fortunately we had a designated driver. Spent the next 7 hours meeting old friends, most of which I couldn't recognize. Most recognized me as I haven't changed a whole lot from HS, but it was a bit ackward to reply back...and you are who? Today is frisbee golf, then 70's music challenge (I'll kill them...already been named coach for the ladies team), then a dinner tonight. I'll bore you with a short story. I saw my friend Holly who is all of about 4'10" with me being the amazon. When we were about 14 we decided to sun bathe. So we had this brilliant idea that if you took baby oil and put some iodine in it, then climbed on our roof so we'd be closer to the sun we'd get a great tan. That 12 feet of height surely would make a difference. Now, I tan like an Indian. Obviously...Holly does not. We're up on my roof, rotate a few times until we land on our backs and promptly fell asleep for a few hours. When we woke up (and fortunately did not roll off of the roof) I looked like a nicely toasted marshmallow. Holly...well, she looked like the devil on fire. Her front side was REEEEEEDDDDD beyond description, her back side completely white. It took her weeks to recover. We laughed so hard. Toto---see women know best. DON'T ROLL THE WINDOW DOWN IN THE NORTH!! JUST TAKE ONE FOR THE TEAM. lmf64 - I might take you up on that offer. PM me. Warning...one of the guys CANNOT STOP talking. He knows everyone in about a 200 square mile radius of this area. If he doesn't, you're now his friend and will be included in future conversations.:raspberry-tounge: Jena - we made a pact.
