COVID Roll Call
-
@FarmerJayhawk Sturgis? We went to Deadwood & Sturgis on our long-awaited Yellowstone trip about this time in 2008…along with thousands of our closest friends. We didn’t know it was the first week of the rally.
Actually, we had blundered into Bike Week in Myrtle Beach earlier (May) that year. Then, in September we were diverted from our Bahamas trip by 2 hurricanes so we went to Pigeon Forge in Tenn. On the way there, we went through Cherokee, NC, and were greeted by a huge “WELCOME BIKERS!” sign.
3 trips in 1 year, all to bike rallies we had no clue were occurring. My mother kept saying, “Who are these creatures we keep seeing?”
-
@mayjay pretty close. I was in Custer. The city was packed to the gills (a few thousand in a city with less than 2000 permanent residents) with more to come for the rally this week and next. It was great to go up and see family but we probably took some unnecessary risks
-
@FarmerJayhawk are you a hells angel?
-
There’s different people up there for sure. It’s better to go to the Black Hills in the fall or winter time. In the fall you can see really pretty colors in the trees plus less people.
We go to Hill City every winter before Christmas on the 1880 train. It’s a Santa train that goes to the North Pole. A few years ago I was glued to my phone watching us scrape by North Dakota State.
-
@rockchalkwyo explain? From Wyoming, and not to hill city ks?
-
The Black Hills are in South Dakota. Rapid City, Custer, Hill City, and Mount Rushmore are all in that area.
Farmer was just talking about Custer and Rapid City. I live in Wyoming and travel through there often. I was just giving an example of when traveling there is nice and not full of tourists.
-
@rockchalkwyo lol, yes I know where the black hills are, hill city threw me off. That would be fun. Do you have kids? Sounds like the Polar Express!

I went through in mid-March and it was incredible. My mom loves that train too!
-
@Crimsonorblue oh sorry for the confusion. yup that’s it. They serve hot cocoa and cookies and once you get to the North Pole, Santa gets on the train. We have 2 and one on the way.

I raised some hell as a youth but not so much anymore
-
@rockchalkwyo and @FarmerJayhawk i need info on this from hutch. How fun for my gkids. Farmer, where did your mom get on?
-
@Crimsonorblue22 she got on in Hill City and went down to Keystone. It’s a cool little tourist trap
-
Both adult daughters recovered this week. But the younger is pregnant and the doctor wants to induce her because there’s apparently a risk of early labor because of it. Due Date is just before Christmas, but inducing 12/11.
-
@wissox oof. I hope it goes smoothly
-
@wissox were they vaxxed and did they both have light cases? Do they they live by you? Hope all goes well too.
-
@Crimsonorblue22 Yes definitely vaxxed, I didn’t raise no dopes! The pregnant one is in Minnesota and she had it kind of bad. The other was mildly sick. Thanks!
-
@wissox dang! Were their symptoms the same, just worse?
-
@Crimsonorblue22 Basically.
-
So being as I have a congenital immune condition, Covid left me with a nice sinus infection to boot. Happy happy fun times
-
@FarmerJayhawk young man if you have an immune problem you probably would’ve qualified!
-
@Crimsonorblue22 all they asked was about my BMI and whether I was ever a smoker. Supply must be tight! Good news is I didn’t need it.
-
@FarmerJayhawk you still testing +?
-
@Crimsonorblue22 I’m not sure. I’m still under medial house arrest so no use testing for another couple days. I doubt it but I’ll try again Sunday so I can see if I can go back into the office Monday.
-
@FarmerJayhawk any better?
-
@Crimsonorblue22 a little better today. Antibiotic is starting to finally kick in
