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

[Kona2]

Woohoo and hooyah! Congratulations, Dave H, on achieving a ONE million meter rowing season! We wish you many, MANY more!

Thoughts and prayers to you and your sister Ron. God bless.

Depending on how things go, I may not be contributing too many meters in the next few days. Tommorrow my sister goes to Dartmouth-Hitchcock for her cancer surgery. She is still pretty upbeat, but I can tell she is scared. I have to admit that I broke down when she asked for my Soc Sec Number so that she could put me on her bank accounts and told me that she has named me as the executor of her estate. Oh man
I know that many of you will be sending prayers and healing thoughts our way, and I thank you. She will be at one of the best medical facilities in the country and I am hoping for the best possible outcome.
Thank you again for your thoughts and prayers.
Ron

sending lots of healing and healthy thoughts,,,,,

[brotherjim]

Thank you Jan for mentioning the 100k, sweet of you as always. Kind of (very) sore today. Jackson just text me he did a 10k today. His first 1H6m4s. They have snow so he wanted to get warmed up before going sledding, not usually possible in Arkansas. He is a winter boy I think. Loves sledding, ice skating, hockey .
Praying for Ron and his sister.

[Kona2]

So many milestones recorded ... and so many more in progress! Great moments! Meanwhile, Baz is navigating a kayak through the rapids...we're sure he's totally enjoying himself! New stuff = some trepidation, and lots of "woohoo, I'm alive!" moments. Definitely throw in a hooyah!

Factoring in the late capture of yesterday's numbers, the team has completed back to back ONE million meter days. I don't think that's ever happened before. Stunner!

Season meters as of 259/366 = 130,471,594 m

Total meters on the day = 922,768 m

Oars in space (participation) = 34 percent

[Rumping]

I'm amazed at how many meters the team is rowing at the moment. When I joined, rowing 10k would put someone near the end of the list most of the time. Now it seems doing 10k puts you in the first 3rd and there's a massive list of HMs. Very impressive!

Especially for a weekday!

I hope Bazzy enjoys the adventure. I'm stuck shoveling my driveway instead. I can tell you what I'd rather be doing .

[Dave_H]

Hi Ron... we are thinking of you and your sister this weekend.
Best wishes, Dave

[just27]

Tommorrow my sister goes to Dartmouth-Hitchcock for her cancer surgery. She is still pretty upbeat, but I can tell she is scared. ... She will be at one of the best medical facilities in the country and I am hoping for the best possible outcome. Thank you again for your thoughts and prayers.
Ron

My positive thoughts, best wishes, and prayers for your sister. How did the surgery go?

[just27]

The princess grandbaby shared an evil stomach flu virus she brought home from nursery school. After a few days of ignoring the erg in favor of sleeping, I'm now eyeing it tentatively. I cannot believe how many meters our two teams have been posting ... very impressive, y'all!
