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

[Kona2]

Congratulations, Kiba on achieving a TWO million meter season! We wish you MANY more !

I'm sure this robot was the model for the cupcakes!

[Kiba]

Thanks for all the cupcakes !!

My goal for the FRC is 1MM, not sure I can do it, but I'm going to try.

Wild Bill, I just have that rechargable battery pack, but if it happens again I'll put in regular batteries.

Just take out the rechargeable battery pack for >30 minutes and put it back in - should do the same thing. Just make sure it's fully charged.

Also try to find the RESET button - should be on the back side rower's left.

I'll be unavailable for one week of the FRC, so your 1MM will have to carry us, eh?

Hey, Everyone, I'm back on board. This has been a very busy summer. Not what I expected when the snow melted off, but very productive overall. I made it through the Two Bear Marathon yesterday. The weather was great, and it was a good race. Now to finish the email to the team, and get ready to put out some rowing meters in the morning!

I have a really busy day, but I sneaked in on my lunch break to do 10 km

Wild Bill, I tried both of your suggestions So far it seems to be working great, Thanks!

[Toothdoc]

Peter, Some would say thanks for the info.

I need to revise and extend my early remarks. I guess I will be here for the first two days since we aren't leaving until Thurs. Yikes another Duh moment. There seem to be more frequently lately.
