A reasonable damper setting? (was comparing to photo above)

Pictures or no, though, I'd love to know what sorts of creatures the rest of us have.

One greyhound Meshugeneh (former racer, now retired), one keeshond Maud, two Italian greyhounds (bro and sis) Dashiell Dammit and Delilah Dean, two cats Augie Doggie and Beeswax. And my erg, named The Beast.

His pants are rather baggy--there IS a seat, isn't there?

It must be QUITE the party at your house come feeding time! What a menagerie!! Sounds fun!

No, I think there's a seat there... Here's a hint. I was given to believe that CrossFit rowers never had it set this low.... (Apologies to any CrossFit rowers out there -- all in good fun!)

All living with you under one roof???

Had to look up keeshund; fuzzy little critters. And love the name Dashiell Dammit. Any chance for pictures?

Speaking of names, our Dobie's name, Dee Dee, is actually a short version of Damned Dog (or Damned Doberman, take your pick). We had another name for her, but after just a few weeks we seemed to be calling her this more often than not. Let's say that 'high energy', which is what we read before we got her, is a horrible joke of an understatement. She's a great dog and we wouldn't give her up for the world, but holy cow!

I particularly like the kettleball lunchbox. I may use that idea to market a C2-specific crossfit lunchbox shaped like the flywheel housing (with damper setting set to MAXIMUM OVERDRIVE!!!)

Dashiell Dammit is a play on Dashiell Hammett (the author, Maltese Falcon, Thin Man, etc.) They are littermates.

From the article...

Before 2010, all you needed to CrossFit was a pair of shorts and some Chuck Taylors. But before long, we started spotting people wearing Vibram FiveFingers shoes, and suddenly, like lice, everyone had them. We didn’t know why we needed them. We just knew they looked cool.

Same thing happened in the running community with the FiveFingers. Now they all have foot problems. Turns out that they're not actually all that great for your feet.

Maud (the furry keeshond) and Bodhi (late departed) frolicking in the snow.

These two are adorable!!! Love those little jackets! Did you make those?

[Bobbie_Zee]

I don't sew, got them from a Calif woman "Wee Wear 4 Pets." Delilah (pink) tolerates hers, because Iggies (Italian greyhounds) are all about being warm. Dashiell despises his outfit--my husband says he looks like a little kid with a load in his pants. I had no intention of getting any more dogs, but somebody from greyhound rescue phoned and said "we need a home for bro/sis together....." my husband said ABSOLUTELY NOT, and the rest is history. When we go on vacation, our kennel bill exceeds our airfare

Love your fish, Lisa. Very zen and relaxing. You can call them all Goldie..........

Speaking of Bobbie Zee...

Darn it, Bobbie, every time I think that I'm pulling ahead you row past me. This time, it's not even close. Go. Go, play with your dogs

I will have to limp to the finish line if there is any hope of hitting goal for this challenge- had to modify grip to avoid stretch/stress on my thumbs and right middle finger tendons- a very narrow grip holding on to the bar using the outside of my palm- gripping bar with ring finger and pinky.

Will try using Flickr tonight to post dog pictures.
