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

[William H]

Anyone know where the Dog Days of Summer Challenge Honor Board is?

We are already well into the second week of this challenge, but I'm at a loss to locate it anywhere

Thanks

All I've found is on Logbook page, click on "Learn More" about Dog Days of Summer. In the right column of the page you end up on are your personal weekly totals to date just above SkiErg Loppett information. Maybe that's all we get, or perhaps the Challenge Honor Board won't be posted until the end?

perhaps the Challenge Honor Board won't be posted until the end?

That's how I interpret this as well - no honors until the full Challenge is met. This is a bit of a departure from say the March Challenge (row at least 5K a day for 25 days in March) where you might find yourself on the Honor Board as long as you rowed your 5K or more a day until you missed more than six days in that Challenge. Good to mix it up and keep us on the ergs!

Alrighty, then

Looks like I'm not missing anything, but I was hoping for a "live" board like the March Challenge so I could see where everyone stacked up as the challenge goes along - makes it a little more interesting, eh?

Well ... it's off to town for some errands and then ... wait for it ... time to hit the erg

Lotsa days of August rowing left!

Meteor showers peak about midnight tonight.....air mattresses and lawn chairs at the ready....should be a great show!

We went out at 11 pm and sat staring up at the sky for a half hour. Too early, only saw a half-dozen, but they were quite lovely and it was a beautiful night. I can't move my neck today ...

[Kristine Strasburger]

We had a storm blow in early in the evening, and it rained hard all night, so no star gazing happened at our house. I hope we might catch a few tonight on the trailing edge.

On to more odd-ball things that can happen to one: I probably got bit on the top of my head by a spider while I was sleeping last Thursday night. I kept thinking it was getting better, but no, the after-effects were just moving around. I went to the doctor yesterday "just in case," and she said spider bites can often get infected. So I am on some anti-biotics for the next 10 days, and just waiting for the painful and itchy bumps and swelling on the left side of my head and face to go down. No wonder my last rowing session was so slow and low energy - and I thought it was just from doing the extra running lately.

Welcome Bruce! Glad to have you on our team!

Wowzer, mates! We've got two red giants (red giant = meter posting equal to or greater than 50,000 m in a day), and four half moons (half moon = meter posting equal to or greater than a half marathon distance of 21,097 m but less than 42,195 m). Team must be feeling the gravitational pull of the moon as we draw closer to our target destination! Way to row!
