FIVE Reindeer!

Buttercup, my reindeer, better bust a move on getting her meters done! The Challenge Calculator paints a busy, busy, bunch of erg sessions! Like many of you, I like to have a bit of a meter cushion so that when "stuff" happens, I don't get stressed about how I'm going to finish my daily batch of meters. Well, stuff has intervened for about four days worth now, and that will not be all that easy to make up. No time like the present to figure it all out! I remember well that Christmas Eve where I had a slew of meters to finish...fortunately, it was many moons from the time of toy assembly gone awry....

Meanwhile, lots of Lunies are erging - and the Lunie team has surpassed the 75 MM team meter milestone in the last 24 hours thanks to some biggie data uploads from a few team members. Our participation in the last week has increased by about 35 percent (give or take a few percentage points!).

Whoop, whoop and why not an early Christmas present! Congratulations, Ted, on achieving a ONE million meter erging season! We wish you many, MANY more milestones and celebrations!

Forgot to celebrate yesterday's rare palindrome date...one that is/was an ambigram (palindrome that reads the same upside down as right side up)!
12022021 ...I'm sure we appreciated it on a subconcious level!

In an Anchorage neighborhood....doesn't this one look awesome!?

[TallErgs]

That tree is fantastic! It looks like something you'd see on the front of a 500 piece puzzle box.

That tree is fantastic! It looks like something you'd see on the front of a 500 piece puzzle box.

It does ! Alaska Dan was out XC skiing in his neighborhood, and there it was! No puzzle involved.

LOVED the reindeer erg test, danwho!!

Dang! We better reinforce the rooftop the way this herd is flying in!!

Kona,

I love what you do with the reindeer, and I'm attaching a link to "Zoomer" from 5 years ago. search.php?keywords=zoomer&t=7369&sf=msgonly

I thought that was great, and would love to get "Zoomer" back instead of Moto Guzzi. If it's not too much trouble of course.

Thank you, and Happy Holidays.

Howard

[Kona2]

I do remember Zoomer - and will make the change! I usually go off the previous year - and last year was a bumper pandemic herd.
