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

[just27]

Crew emerges from the Space Sports Bar realizing that they have to cowboy up for a challenge issued by brotherjim of Timbuk2. About that Super Bowl Challenge.....I keep getting 9300 m when I multiply 300 x 31 points.

Hah! It's not "new math" ... it's "Luna math!" I probably messed-up brojim's challenge beyond recognition ... I took the final score (31 + 17 = 48 x 200 meters = 9600) and then added that to my HM (half marathon). However, the good bro intuited that my "HM" shorthand meant a "hundred meters" which would compute to 48 x 300 meters = 14400.

It appears that your 9300 is the Saint's score (31) x 300 = 9300. It's all good!

And this from someone who has no idea why men-in-helmets run around patting each other on the butt. (Just27 retires to cave to withstand irate onslaught by football fans.)

ooops...sorry....didn't realize what adding the score then multiplying and then adding that to the half marathon would add up to...no way can i do all that extra with my marathon training....

[Kona2]

Hah! The numbers are starting to get clearer....and, as everyone says, it's all good! Row a bunch - I'm sure the totals will cover our challenge debts!

Onward....to 91 Million Meters!

[Kristine Strasburger]

Barbara, that was a really funny movie. You've got a creative bunch of folks in your club.

[brotherjim]

Dear Luna-tics,
You guys are in another league than me. I think 9600 meters is more than plenty. That is the total points times 200. It was a good game though and there was a lot of fanny patting.

Wasn't sure how many meters to row, so,,, I rowed a bunch before the game and 14400 on Monday. Hope its enuff.

To the Moon!!!

Hey Lunatics,

Congrats on the JVC. I have been reading all the news but find it difficult to type one handed. Anyway bravo to all you making milestones.

I am now 10 days post-surgery. Had another Dr's appt. today he says everything is looking good. I still tire out easily, about 4 hours and I need a nap. He has had me squeezing a ball for the past week. Today he took off the splint and said I could start bending my elbow 15-20 degrees several times a day but sleep with the splint on. I am looking forward to a full hot soapy shower on Wed. PU. Rehab starts next Monday. This will be when I start straightening the elbow, ouch. So far the pain has been intermittent with an ice pack being the best relief. Percocets work also but I am avoiding them as much as possible.

Eating left handed is a PITA, yet I'm still able to maintain my mass. I just got to where I can use a knife on tender items. You really take for granted two functioning limbs until you have only one.

Looks like you all are going to have to cover for me for at least 3 months.

Thanks for the encouragement.

Barbara - very funny movie - way to take care of the competition! I also like the way you handle collections.

Danno - hope you the rehab goes well.

Sunday is the CRASH-B in Boston. Since I can't go, I'm going to do a 2K at home, anyone want to do it with me?

Put your heart into it today! It's time for the Valentine's Day Challenge...row your 14K between today and V-Day, and collect your unique valentines..... And, if you live near one of the cities that puts fun postmarks on for Valentine's Day....you have time to get that special postal cancellation. One such city is Loveland, CO. From the Loveland Chamber of Commerce web site: "Each year a pictorial and love verse are selected from dozens of entries. The art for this year’s cachet was designed by Teresa Boynton. Wearing a cowboy get-up "Dan Cupid" (I swear this is verbatim from the Loveland Chamber of Commerce web site) aims his arrow to send the 2010 message written by Stan Griep. " This year's cancellation is:


So, cowboy/cowgirl up those meters!!

Am hopeful of a return of the laptop today; we'll see!

Season meters as of 284/365 = 90,925,784 m

Total meters on the day = 217,508 m

Oars in space (participation) = 18 percent

MILESTONES...Bragging Rights....Celebrations: Whoa....none???

THREE Million Meter Watch:

Darryl with (35,991 m) to go!

TWO Million Meter Watch:

Mitch with (131,479 m) to go!

K2 with (133,000 m) to go!


Have a blue sky day, wherever you row!

I'll be AWOL on Sunday and don't want to appear to be skiving (the British definition), so will try to bank a few extra Valentine's meters on Saturday. (I'm still halfway through Season 1 of "24" ... quite happy to sit on the rower for an extra episode of Jack extreme!)

I want to brag about my amazing 9 year old daughter. Sinead erged 1557 meters today. (Since she started rowing in Jan., she's been putting in between 400 and 500 meters when she ergs.)

Yesterday she asked me if she could do the Valentine Challenge. I told her that it would be hard for her to reach the 14,000m goal set by C2 but she should set her own goal for the challenge. She said she wanted to try anyway. Today she erged before school and again just a little while ago. I'm so proud of her.

Thanks for letting me brag.

And so you should brag..that is a great effort. I'm (slowly) trying to coax Tomo back onto the ERG..he had a great flurry a month or two back, but then went on school holidays and found ovther things to do.

Good luck to all.....
