There are still FOUR more days out there to be a lucky summer sweeps winner...row 5,000 m or more for a guaranteed entry into one of summer's most mysterious lotteries!


Whoa - looks like Madame Zoltana was spot on! Kristine and AJ both have crossed the 300K milestones for the year! And Danno....

Moon Day! Anniversary of the first walk on the surface of the moon!

Wow, now that's worth celebrating! Captain calls for monster cupcakes all around - double portions for every matey who pulls the chain today! Woo-hoo!

[Kona2]

Off in the distance, surely under a saguaro moon (wait...they might not have those in Utah...), one of the crew scouts has spotted a dust cloud....
Yep, Wild Bill rides again!

Just remember, Grasshopper, a moon journey starts with a single meter....welcome back, Bill !

And, as good prep for the FALL Challenge (yikes...don't wish our lives away!), great way to start building some extended weekly distances:

Dog Days of Summer

The Dog Days of Summer runs from August 1–28 and features a different total distance goal each week.

The Details

* Row or ski, indoors or outdoors, completing each of the following four distance goals during the timeframes indicated and log them in your online logbook:
o Week 1, Aug. 1–7: 20,000 meters
o Week 2, Aug. 8–14: 30,000 meters
o Week 3, Aug. 15–21: 40,000 meters
o Week 4, Aug. 22–28: 50,000 meters
The distance goals do not have to be done in one sitting, but must be done during the timeframe indicated. By the end of the challenge, you will have accumulated 140,000 meters.
* This is an individual challenge. (You do not need to belong to a team to participate.)
* Meters must be entered online.
* Indoor rower, on water, SkiErg, and on snow meters count.

Kona2 - My wife had her camera along on the Detroit trip. I had none, so no pictures were taken by me at DA Yoopers Tourist Trap. However here is a link to their website and if you scroll just about to the bottom of this page, you will see it.

By the way if you do much exporing of the photo albums on this site, just be aware that the superbowl party album has some nude middle age Yoopermen backsides at the sauna and jumping in a hole in the ice scenes. Probably not for the faint of heart. Moose.

Uff da.
