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

[quote="Kona2"]Yo ho pirates! Sinice you are discussing baking, I thought I'd post the link to a funny story that's been floating about on the internet for awhile. It's called "Jasper and the Unbaked Yeast Rolls" - check out the link. Since I have Jesse the Bread Bandit in my household, I can truly appreciate the enormity of the situation. Read on!

Thanks for the laughs Jan!

Something wicked this way comes? Fall Rowing Challenge shows us in 4th position overall. There are 59 million meters showing up for a health club at the top of the posts......Wowzer.

Tis the season of the skeleton crew....how fitting for a bunch of pirates!
We'll be well ready to compete after the Fall Rowing Challenge!

Season meters as of 158/365 = 25,601,262 m

Total meters on the day = 221,653 m (suspect there are a few that I would normally report tomorrow that were captured in today's late post)

Oars in the water = 21 percent

MILESTONES:

300K Mary! Woohoo!
Half Marathons.....many....Dan C

TWO Million Meter Watch:

I've been "gone" a couple of days, and was just perusing the FRC individual names and numbers ... Lisa, with the aforementioned health club, has posted an unimaginable 58,000,000 meters for the challenge! Methinks, perhaps, a couple of zeros in error!

If anyone wants tips on hosting a tea party for a dozen 6 - 10 year olds ... I'm your resource! (That's what my 80 year old mom wanted for her birthday party, yesterday ... all her little neighborhood surrogate grandchildren for high tea. Good grief, nothing can scare me now. I'm planning on an extra 58,000,000 meters before the week's over.)

So, who's going to finish first on our FRC team, Dan or Will?!? It's like watching a ping pong match.

I was about to point that out. I calculated that for 20 days of the challenge rowing 24 hours a day, 58,163,373 total meters would mean she is rowing over 121, 000 m/hour or 2020m/min. That's pretty fast!

Hi, Sheepster. (Yes, indeed, for 108 years old, Lisa is quite an impressive old girl!) You've completed one of those "three" things for me ... I recently read "Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep" ... am now working on "Three Bags Full" ... and, here you are!

Has anyone ever heard of "random acts of kindness"? Well, I propose a team effort towards "random acts of recognition". If you have some spare time to spend on it, why not peruse the C2 teams pages/rosters, and look for unique teams or persons to recognize? Let's see who can dig up the most unique or unusual rower in the C2 world. This doesn't have to be a time-limited search---let's keep our eyes out year-round. Just another Luny thing we can do together to make those meters go faster on our journey to the moon.

Here also Kona2. Finally got our killing frosts last Thursday and Friday night. So the only things still alive in my veggie garden right now are carrots, beets, parsley, and weeds. I was expecting frost to happen while we were gone, but it didn't so I now have an addional 40lbs of tomatoes ripening in the garage to put up sometime soon.

But frost doesn't mean the end of canoeing season just yet!

To All,

I just remembered I will be out of town Thursay thru Sunday. A quick trip to Appleton, WI to meet sons John's soon to be in-laws. Therefore, I will not be posting any meters during that time. I will be rowing though since I picked our hotel based on the fact they have C2 ergs in their workout room.

Many thanks for the 2 MM "atta girls" ... the fact that Jan's been relentless in posting the deficit is what kept me going on yesterday's HM!

... I picked our hotel based on the fact they have C2 ergs in their workout room. Dan

Dan - That's intense, picking out a hotel based on their ergs!

Kristine - yes, lots of cars around town have bumper stickers that say "practice random acts of kindness" ... also, "imagine swirled peas"!

Darryl - your parsley survived a frost? My herbs are the first things to croak. Did you ever make a beet and jicama salad? ... really good.

Barbara - hoping to see you back in action ... soooon!

Chris,
I grow the curly leaf kind of parsley and find it to be very frost hardy; easily handling temperatures down to the low 20F's. I have no doubt that my half dozen plants will continue to produce fresh parsley for the next month or so, long enough to provide ingredient for a couple 12 pint batches of spaghetti sauce from my ripening tomatos. In early Nov (before the ground freezes) I will pot up one or two plants in hanging pots to bring in the house and hang in a south facing basement window for moderate amounts of fresh parsley all winter. The rest of the plants I leave in the garden and occasionally a plant or two will survive the winter although they will want to bolt to make seed heads the second year of growth. The only other herb I grow that is very frost hardy is chives.

I'm not familiar with "Mexican turnips" (jicamas) but perhaps I should be? To me just boiled beets that have been grown in cool conditions are a real treat. Any sweeter and they would be borderline candy....
