[Kona2]

Stay tuned - I believe I have all the numbers - just having more network issues.

[BigBrett58]

...

Apologies to all who looked at yesterday's numbers and wondered if they were counted or not! I usually take a single snapshot of the numbers - yesterday just happened to occur about 3 to 4 hours prior to the norm. Today's numbers will be superb with a combo of a couple days for some of you!

Having trouble with my wireless set up - will be changing that out today - but it is disrupting today's postings! Aaack!

I appreciate all the work you do to give us a daily update. It really motivates me.

Hear, hear. First thing I look at in the morning, while my coffee is still going intravenous!
Big thanks to K2 and her wireless connection.

[Toothdoc]

Hey K2,

Get a Mac and an Airport! LOL

a big thank-you to k2 for not only posting the numbers...but being so creative and supportive.....

[Kona2]

Hey K2,

Get a Mac and an Airport! LOL

danno

Ah, I think this must mean an air card? If so, that is indeed how I am connecting today. There seems to be a shortage of replacement routers from my internet provider! Bummer - but manageable. Glad to provide the stats and some encouragement on our way to the moon -- it's a fun thing for me. I should be able to get yesterday's numbers and today's here shortly. (The joys and perils of technology and computers that "help" us by using autofill for words...)

An Airport is Apple's version of a wireless router

There's still time to make those basic and advanced challenge goals! Row row row!

gooooooo luna-tics....sorry i can't help....

[Kona2]

Barbara - every time you post a "go Luna-Tics", you're helping us! There are plenty of times when each of us cannot row for one reason or another. We look forward, as you do, to when you can row with us again. In the meantime, encouraging words are great!



Zoooooom.....that was another month blasting by us!

First, yesterday's milestones and stats - there were many: From 9.29.10

By the way, for those who are setting their sights on full and half marathons as a goal, I'd like to point out a celebration resource. Concept2 used to award a marathon mug to those completing their first marathon row. The costs of doing this became prohibitive (probably shipping costs!), and this was discontinued. In the spirit of helping us celebrate these BIGGIE goals, Concept2 worked with one of our fellow rowers on the Ducks In A Row Team. She designed frosted mugs using the approved Concept2 marathon and half marathon logos and you can purchase these from Zazzle. The web site is http://www.zazzle.com/grammms - you'll find the frosted mugs there. These are important rowing accessories! You need to be able to quaff a good brew or a root beer or a sports drink or...after you've made these goals. Besides, it's like subliminal bragging when you hand a friend a brew or other beverage in these frosted mugs....shameless advertising, I know....but hey! we lobbied for the continued presence of these coveted items. Of course, Minnie got one of the last free ones...AJ, you need to buy one!

Season meters as of 152/365 = 32,384,015 m

More info - related more to holiday gifts for you rowers to put on your lists: rowing shorts

Rowing shorts are available from Concept2 and from Concept2's supplier JL Racing. You can go as snazzy or as plain as you like when ordering. Just realize that it is about a five week turn for custom orders or out of stock sizes from JL Racing, so NOW would be the time you might suggest this to your gift givers....
