Noooooooo ... I added, I subtracted, I added again ... I opened the desktop calculator, I extrapolated how many meters I needed to key into the C2 monitor to end with -317- ... and now, this ... -325 -! Double rats. Not that any of you care ... but, really! Doh.

Kona,
Thanks for your patience. Internet access has now been restored. I'm back with (hopefully) a vengeance.
By the way, paper logbooks stink.

Internet access has now been restored. I'm back with (hopefully) a vengeance.
By the way, paper logbooks stink.

I'd say an upload of just a bit more than ONE million meters since last update is with pretty substantial...!



Woohoo and hooyah! Congratulations, Will, on achieving a SIX million meter season! We wish you many, MANY more!

Mr. Universe 1952 Turns 100, Credits Healthy Lifestyle, Happiness
By Suzan Clarke

He doesn't drink or smoke, and centenarian Manohar Aich credits his longevity to a healthy lifestyle in which he minimizes stress and focuses on happiness.

Aich won the Mr. Universe international bodybuilding championship in 1952. He celebrated his 100th birthday on Sunday surrounded by children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren in Kolkata, an eastern city in India.

Standing just 4 feet, 11 inches tall, Aich earned the nickname "Pocket Hercules," the Associated Press said in a reportHis lifestyle and a simple diet of milk, fruits and vegetables along with rice, lentils and fish have kept him healthy, the bodybuilding trainer told the AP.

Aich turned to bodybuilding while he was imprisoned in the 1940s for opposing Britain's continued colonial rule of India. When he was released, he went on to compete as a bodybuilder, earning success in international competition that culminated with his taking the Mr. Universe title.

While his wife took care of their children, Aich traveled, competed and made a living. On his return to India, he trained future bodybuilding champions.

"I didn't become rich. There is not much money in bodybuilding," he told the Indian Express newspaper. "But there is respect. And for that, I wouldn't mind being a bodybuilder in my next life as well."

He has led a fulfilled life, but Aich regrets never having met his fellow Mr. Universe, former California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger. He's seen many of the Governator's films, though.
