But, er....the RowPro team is closing the distance again on the FRC team....so...if we could just have some more meters, please....would be ever so grateful.....if we could POUR it on.....CRANK it up.....because it is GOOD STUFF!

[big maq]

I guess I'm not too sneaky, but since getting back in the boat I've been trying to get back to my old goal of 10,000 meters under 45 minutes and the 10/6 was the first time since July 3. I guess my knee is okee dokee.
TO THE MOON!!!

And where is Minnie?!

Alive and well, thankyouverymuch. Next week appears to be the end of our "Hotel California" era, for a while ... can anyone really spend any time on the rower with house guests coming and going?

I normally don't see any baseball here in Oz, however one of the new digital channels was just screening the Phillies taking care of the Rockies...
Hope it was a replay of an old game Jan...

Nope, the Phillies skunked the Rox....I think revenge for the 2007 sweeping is on their minds.....but today is a whole nother day and a whole new game!

I'm just sitting here watching the wheels go round and round,
I really love to watch them roll,
No longer riding on the merry-go-round,
I just had to let it go....

[Toothdoc]

Dave H,

Beware, I'm starting to find my groove. Hope this thing doesn't end before I catch you. You have rowed a magnificent FC. Anything over 500 K has braggin' rights.

How about the 4 over 1 Million with 2 or 3 more within striking distance.

Thanks Danno, I humbly and eagerly anticipate your approach... ...watch out for my dust when you get close!!
I have been consistant (by the skin of my teeth on some days... finished erging at 11pm last night! ), and my employer has been kind when my morning start times have slipped a bit this month... , however it is very satisfying cracking that 500k mark. 600 should be attainable, however I think 700 is very safe!
Then again, I do owe Wild Bill a few extra metres...
What is the consecutive HM record in the team K2??

Cheers,
Dave

[Kona2]

Record for consecutive HMs.....I haven't specifically looked that one up. It seems that Chris and Dan both completed about 31....then took a break. Does that sound right Dan or Chris?

And the Rockies won today....kind of wonder if we're going to have games in Denver this weekend....snow is forecast...

[Kona2]

Yikes, they're deploying rockets towards our target! Take cover, Spacers! Incoming!!
