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

[BAZzy]

Well, the temperature here in Sacramento was only 104 today, but the thermometer on my back patio (in the shade) currently says 120 at 6:00pm. I have a glass of chilled white wine, and about zero motivation in rowing! Blaah.

Can we swap....I'll have summer anyday.....

"In the dark of night....those small hours...." Woohoo! It was a bike party! Thousands of cyclists lined the street in front of the state capitol.. some in lycra, some in costume...here's the queue at the start of the family wave (followed by the Gonzo Wave closer to midnight)....had to walk the bikes for the first block or two...familiar city landmarks take on a whole new dimension by the light of the moon and bike lights....highly recommend that you see your city at night wherever you are!
Just decorated my helmet a bit with antennae and a garland of stars...

[Kiba]

I hope our space ship has cool lights, just like the aliens...!

I think tomorrow is the 40th anniversary of the moon landing, but it might be today.. either way :O!!!

Lunar mission launched July 16, 1969 and land on the moon July 20, 1969. That would make tomorrow the 40th. Give Kiba a gold star!!!1

Love the trim on the helmet! Loved all the bike pictures. You all are so much more tech savy than I. Can't figure out how to add a picture or where to find such clever pics. But then look how long it took me to figure out how to et my photo on my profiel. LOL!

[Kona2]

Denise - two websites that host your photos are Photobucket and Webshots. It's pretty easy to either upload to photobucket or to webshots. Both provide the link code to put onto the forum - it takes a little bit of practice to make it a reasonably quick process, but it's all possible. Let me know if I can help. Glad you liked the photos! K2

In a journey that took about four days, the Apollo 11 spacecraft lifted from earth July 16, 1969 and landed on the moon July 20th. Our journey to the moon more closely mirrors the building of the International Space Station (which began in 1998 and has a projected completion of 2011). We began our journey in 2003...and going out on a lunar LM, our projected landing will occur in two and a half rowing years....in 2013... Plan on being part of the landing crew!

Kiba,

Get your oven warmed up, we need more cupcakes. Tomorrow is Kona2's birthday.

[Kiba]

I've got my oven set !

Just so everyone knows, my updates might get sporatic pretty soon, for about the next month. I'm getting ready to move, so I don't have as much time to row. Then once I do move, I might not have the internet for a while.

[Kona2]

Whoa....early birthday warnings.....thanks, I think.

Crew rowing quietly, but steadily. We near the 20 million mark!

Lots of meters, but no HM for me, those accumulated over several days. Hoping to start rowing every single day since work is finally slowing down, so expect more soon!
