LUNA-TICS TEAM ROOM: Year-round "Looney" fun.

[Kona2]

Day 14 or 15 of 31....sign on...sign on....sign on!

The ArMOONda is set to sail....still lots of room for more canoes! Looks like we've added more oar power today - we'll need some jet propulsion to stay ahead of the pack! AJ is keeping us continually surprised at what he adds to the caricatures....definitely go for the canoes (at least) so we can share your caricature!

Did Bill Belichecks Team Win Yesterday

Beware the Ancients are coming 2 people with almost 1 million each

[Sparko53]

Wowzer...quite the week for Jay R! First he hits his ONE million lifetime meters, and then he captures his canoe! Rumor has it that he's nicknamed his canoe "The Hunley"....way to row, Jay R!

K2 - Thank you very much! I wanted to get my canoe before I posted so I didn't get a caricature with a metal nose, a square head, and big ears!

BTW. Sparko was a robotic dog that first appeared at the 1940 New York World's Fair (alongside his owner Elektro). I doubt Sparko could row, or even do the dog paddle.

That's something I did not know! Sparko is a great robotic dog!

[Kona2]

Hooyah for bg! She is motoring right along with that oar! Way to row, Barbara!

Meanwhile, over in the MUCH warmer waters of Jamaica, Ronnie has been quietly capturing more and more meters! She's got her oar now! Way to row, Ronnie! AJ's been making some often subtle changes to our caricatures as we move through the different milestones...what a task master to get us to row row row so we can see what happens next!


. . . . . . . . Ronnie Mills . . . . . . . .

[Kona2]

Zander has been steadily adding lots of meters each day....and he's got an oar now, too! The Jamaican contingent is going to be giving everyone a row to remember as we head towards January 31st! Zander's caricature is also a great one! Way to row, Zander !


. . . . . . Zander Fraser . . . . . . . .

[Kona2]

Hooboy! It's our resident artist's birthday !! Blow out ALL the candles, AJ - and best wishes for a year filled with much happiness, good health, great art and mysterious travels!

[Kona2]

Another canoe slides into the virtual waters near Raleigh, NC...and it's Dan W who has accumulated his 100K meters, and climbed into that canoe! Well done! (And onward!)

Hooboy! As many celebrations as we're having today, we might as well just put up a sign that says "Party in the Team Forum!" And why not!

Jay used to say that dad Jim was relentless about having Jay give rowing a try...and that he really liked cycling more. In the beginning, he would say that he used rowing as a cross-training tool for cycling. I think he now uses cycling as a cross-training tool for rowing! Summer's coming! Congratulations, Jay, on achieving a FIVE million meter rowing season! Way to row! And row! And row!
