So I thought that the image was to move to a museum. I guess it either isn't going to happen, or will not happen after all. Looks like it did happen, between the 2 (and only 2) visits that I've ever had to Bristol: http://www.bristolpost.co.uk/VIDEO-Banksy-s-Grim-Reaper-removed-Bristol-ship/story-2...

I saw it on the ship of course. I was over in Bristol on business, took a walk along the river, happened to look across at the ship and said (in my best imitation of my 17 year old son) "wait...what?"

Completely unrelated to ron's post, but I finally saw the original of his avatar. Never knew where that came from before it was staring me in the face while I was out for a stroll.

OK, who can spot the interesting detail in this photo from the CrossFit games? :P Don't know if they're interesting, but: Damper setting not maxed out Danger setting maxed out (baggy shorts) Actual decent style! Layback before arms (wonder what happens next though) Interesting that block is behind ...

Just got a gentle nudge from Izz for the challenge. :) Nudge? He reached through the tubes, grabbed my throat, and told me to get busy or he'd change my background image to a picture of Alfred E. Newman with a bandana on his head. Geez! Too bad OTW meters don't count, we're still able to get in nic...

Glen B – 10,000 Could you put in your OTW meters too? Wow...really? I stopped entering them quite a while ago, looks like back in March some time. I've probably averaged 5 workouts per week (often 7, but there have been some days off here and there). Each of those were probably an average of 10k. T...

Levator? What about them? Jurgen makes nice boats. Go to levator.com, look at the double on the bottom right. That's a 2004 and that's me at stroke (and my son in bow). The boat is absolutely gorgeous (turns heads at regattas) and it is a pleasure to row. OK, it's not a wicked light carbon ship but...

Welcome back wet and wild teammate Glen Baker, who has been off "messing about in boats"**, and is now consigned to erging for the off-season... :lol: :lol: :lol: We expect serious meters from you, Glen! Messing around in boats indeed! I've got to say to all of you who have been erging while I have...

I'd hate, hate, hate to be a cox! Does anybody else see the irony of Lisa saying she'd hate to be a cox? (Hint: what do you think you're doing for TimbukTOO? :roll: ) Do you guys take your own boat and oars or do you have to get them from Budget or Avis when you get there? If you have to take your ...

Good luck, Glen! And we need a race report, preferably with video. Especially if embarrassing or disastrous things happen. ;) OK, start with this picture and then click the "next" button a couple of times. That will give you an idea of what can happen (and no it's not my team, but I was standing on...

Threetard (or 3-tard): Rowing slang associated in light-intended (arguably un-PC) humour with seat 3 in an 8-person boat: three seat may always be strong, but is often regarded as the position of least relative responsibility in an 8-person boat. Yes, well I prefer this: Engine room: The middle row...

What? I'm still around? Oh...yeah...guess I am. OK, not much (any) erging lately. That will all change in about 3 weeks. Just popping my electronic head in to mention that I'm going to compete in a little boat race this weekend. It's in Boston, some of you might have heard of it. If anybody else is ...

Sounds like a tech geek to me. What do you do for a job? Guilty as charged. I'm a web app developer. Translation: "I'm going to make up a profession so nobody will discover that I erg, run, travel back and forth to Central Oregon, and herd TimbukToo cats". You're not fooling me Lisa! ..glen (too ma...

For the other couple of people who do OTW (and for those who just enjoy tales of aquatic pain), here's my report from the weekend's regatta where I rowed 3 seat in a 4+: ..glen So the 12th of April rolls around, which just happens to be my son's 17th birthday. How does a good father celebrate? Well ...

Hey Team, I need some expert advice. My acupuncturist advised me that my back muscles were noticeably more developed on my right side vs my left side. Now that was probably the case before I started rowing but I am concerned I may be overusing my right side in my rowing. How do I balance this out? ...
