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

[DuluthMoose]

BG - Congratulations on Achieving 4 Million Meters for this Rowing Season! Great Rowing!

Kona2 - Unlike most Moose I am not bushwhacking when I'm on skiis. I love the feel of freedom swishing along at about a 8K/hr clip on an uncrowded trail system track. So this Moose goes gliding on a snow rail, and can get into serious trouble when the skis get out of the track.... especially on sharp downhill sections.

And I forgot to tell you on your pm this morning that if I were bushwhacking, the only way to know how many K's traveled would be with a GPS. But battery operated gizmos below freezing don't always behave. You'll have to keep it close to body heat to have a chance at keeping it functioning for more than 20 minutes or so.

Yay, Barbara!

Thanks you guys and gals for the atta boys. If not for you all pushing, exhorting, encouraging, teasing and cheering I would probably be at the Pub every night having a few pints and B-wings and weighing 2 tons.

Danger, danger Will Robinson! We're on low fuel, and about to be overtaken by pirates aka The Ancients. RowPro has added 6 people in the last 24 hours and is pulling away. Row or fade...row or fade...what to do?! To the ergs, mates, to the ergs! Stir up that competitive streak! YOU are needed.

Happy Birthday, Kiba!

~~~

I like the new image, Rodrigo.

[Kona2]

Happy Birthday, AJ! We wish you many, many more! Where's the party?!

[DuluthMoose]

Kiba - Happy (belated) Birthday! Hope you get back on the Internet soon!

AJ - Happy Birthday Today! Enjoy Your Day!

[Kona2]

This is it! The last day to join the January Virtual Teams Challenge! If you're still on the fence....get on the erg!

Yep, after today, there are no sudden influxes of mega-meters as a new team member joins. We've been the recipient of mega-meters, and have also watched with some chagrin as we're bested by better recruitment! In truth and in perspective, it's all for fun - a good tool to keep us moving as we plot our way through the star trails to the moon! If you haven't had time to contribute to the team meters just yet....there is still time! For those who are waiting to swoop in and gift us with a big bunch of meters....I can hardly wait!

Great rowing day, yesterday! Thanks to all who contributed the daily meters!

Total challenge meters thru 14 of 31 = 6,923,374 m

Total daily team meters = 418,456 m

Crew on the roster = 109

Keep your eyes on the sky and your fanny on the erg! Row team row!
