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

[BAZzy]

I'm considering giving my rotator cuff tear (the air hockey injury!) a little, gentle workout tonight. After 2-1/2 weeks of inactivity, my shoulder is feeling much better. It seems quite odd to just sit and watch a movie, without the erg's whoosh-whoosh white noise.

hope it goes well....and wooooo hooooo and congrats david w and stuart :}[/quote]

And same from me!

Weather in Oz - Adelaide, one of our major cities, is officially the hottest city in the world today with temps at 46 degrees...

Cheers, Baz

Hunh. It's also 46 degrees outside my back door, at 9:45 pm. Not even warm!
Oh, you crazy "rest of the world" people with your centigrade ... Celsius to Fahrenheit = (1.8*deg C)+32.
(The online calculator says that's 114.8 Fahrenheit. Fairly toasty!)

My young cousin just left Adelaide, to go to college in Sydney. Bet she's happy with that decision.

Doesn't AJ do a fabulous job as our resident artist?!! A couple of reminder notes about the ARMOONDA:

If there is no picture available, or if the picture is an avatar such as dog or cat or other good but non-human species, a generic native is awarded. Canoeists get a paddle at 200K. If you've got a native when you had a picture posted, could well be my oops...AJ makes it as easy as possible to populate the canoes, but it is still really time consuming to load them up...and I could have easily missed one or two. Corrections will be made!

Hooboy ! Make your weekend plans include some good meter sessions....we look not just to those ahead of us, but also to those immediately behind us! This astrogator LOVES to predict Challenge outcomes ... knowing full well that team spirit and drive is a factor that is ever so difficult to quantify. If you haven't had a chance to put in many meters (or any)....we need you!
