A member of an indoor rowing team or club? If so, this is the place for you.

Can this one team row to the moon and back?

About this time last year, Danno was injured (torn bicep?)...moving a tv the "size of Rhode Island" is how I believe Minnie put it. He rigged up a way to row....and of course I wanted pictures...he can probably tell you more about it....

Here's an idea we could try this year: BYOB.....So if you want to sip on something at the LUNA-TICS New Year's Eve virtual party, make your own post about what you are drinking, why you like it, and what it looks like if you want to post a pic (not required)...parents will have to assist the youngsters in their respective tribes with this, but that's okay.

For anyone wishing to post a photo, first you must upload it to a hosting site such as http://www.photobucket.com. Create a free account, upload your photo to it in a medium to small format (pre-set that before uploading), and then copy the link provided for you under the uploaded photo (the one labeled IMG code), then paste it into your forum post as you write it. One thing though - don't use the IMG button in the forum editor or you will "double code" your picture, and it might not post. If you experience trouble, check to see if you have a double coding (the stuff in [brackets])

Image

Let's call this a command decision just handed down from the bridge to make it official:

Between now and New Year's Day, all hands coming to the LUNA-TICS virtual New Year's Eve Party, post a blurb about what you are going to be sipping on for the evening. And if anyone is bringing some vittles to share, why not put up a picture/recipe for that, too. Let's have some fun, and see what party foods people are eating all over the known Universe. Let the Party Preparations begin!

Regarding rolling on tennis balls - it hurts just to think about it. Would a basketball suffice?

I like that "Buy Local" theme idea. How about "Buy Local" and/or "Buy Heritage" just to give a little more wiggle room?

Holy smoke, Luna Herd ... have y'all seen the mega-meters that some of these new young rowers are posting! Very impressive ... I applaud your efforts!

Just what is a young reindeer called? ... and why am I humming "Grandma got run over by a reindeer" to myself ... ?

A basketball...depends how big your shoulders are :!: :wink:

Tenis ball is perfect, small enough to do the job, soft enough to hurt only a little.....BBB

Whoa....thought the stable had been a little quiet...! With a fine meter update today, Ted raced to the reindeer stable...and freed Pluto (named for the almost planet, and not the cartoon character) for sleigh duty! Antlers rattling, and hooves high fivin'....the herd approves!


Woohoo! Congratulations, Ted, on achieving the 100K Holiday Challenge Honor Board and claiming your reindeer! Lights are next, and you're one-quarter of the way there!

Take a minute, go to your logbook, go across to teams, and click on the link that signs you up to row with the Luna-Tics team in the January Virtual Team Challenge. This team has been a solid contender for many, many years - and each year the battle lines are drawn quite early. This year will be no exception - it's going to be a fight to place in the top five - and we need YOU to be part of this team. There will be hooyah moments!

Congratulations, Tom M, on achieving the 100K Holiday Challenge Honor Board....and freeing up your reindeer, Atlas, for sleigh duty! He's sure to be able to pull more than his share of the sleigh load!

All In A Day's ERG: Team Progress Thru 12.15.10

Post by Kona2 » December 16th, 2010, 2:06 pm

Image Image or Image days....no pressure!

Another great day of team rowing completed with close to that magic cool half million meters! And wowzer, I should have gotten a lottery ticket yesterday! I planned to land on 666,666 (leave no repeating number opportunity untaken) but had no idea that in doing so I would end up with 111,111 Holiday Challenge meters on the same day. Glad to see that there are others who like the repeating number opportunities, too!

Season meters as of 229/365 = 65,700,526 m

Total meters on the day = 453,940 m

Oars in space (participation) = a whopping 38 percent!

MILESTONES...Bragging Rights...Celebrations:


3.8 MM Chris aka Minnie

ImageFor our junior rowers and their holiday challenge accomplishments:

ImageImageImageImage

AJ has done some reindeer graphics engineering to provide Rudolf with some flying friends ... Rudolf will still lead our sleigh...and the honor to be Rudolf will go to the junior rower with the most Holiday Challenge meters. Other junior rowers will fly next with Blue Dolf, Green Dolf or Gold Dolf...to provide the best possible visibility for flying through the foggy night. Good work, AJ!

Post by bkrower225 » December 16th, 2010, 6:12 pm

So glad, to be back. If anyone has gutted their home and had it remodeled you can know what the word stress means. Any way here for the trip. I got my rower in order and I'm getting geared up for ready for the start of virtual team challenge.

Happy Holidays to all
