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

[just27]

And then there are those who are working hard to get back their meters...and we celebrate your persistence on what can be a longish road back !

No kidding ... at this point in the rowing season, you can be gone on a couple of fun road trips and ... zap ... your meters are decimated! (Happily, it works just the same in reverse; but that demands effort!)

Aww, we all have to take time off now and then. Glad you had fun! You'll be zooming by in no time--I'm certain of it. Load some double episodes.

Good advice! Not only did I load a double episode, I just binge-watched the entire first season of Elementary. Obviously, not rowing the entire time, just easing back into the 10K range ...

There have been some impressive efforts and huge numbers posted, this month. Good job, y'all; very inspirational!

After a few weeks away from the rower (after nearly 70 days+ straight on the rower), I got back to it today. I really missed it. Good to be back!

A not-fun week, ahead, in NorCal.

A not-fun week, ahead, in NorCal.

A couple of long sleeve days this week. With all this rain my pumpkins are out of control Jim Morrison sang the West is the best but not always Stay cool Big Tevis.org 100 mile race in august from Lake Tahoe to Ca. Hope the Horses fair well

[Kona2]

Whooooosh! That's the sound of you and the erg flying through yet ANOTHER month! Happy summmer!

Long sleeve days?! Maybe for sun protection! Alas, the pumpkin seeds that I ordered to grow REALLY big pumpkins have not germinated....failure to launch. I've got some "regular" pumpkins giving the contest a go...mostly I hope they survive all the sun ...and whatever varmints are in their space. Not a bloom in sight just yet. Show us a progress photo if you're in the Great Pumpkin Challenge!

And whoa....these palindromes could give rabbits a run for their expanding populations....!

Welcome back indeed to Ronnie!

Back in the saddle again ...
In an earlier post, I mentioned my preference for gloves that don't interfere with my ability to scratch the occasional itch. Well, during this morning's back-in-the-saddle row, it occurred to me that there can be times I must look a little like Nadal preparing to serve (not the wedgie bit, but I think as the sweat comes in, there can be itches of the scalp and back that get the best of me and make me look just as manic ).

Welcome and welcome back to all new and returning teammates.
And hoping for some eventual relief for those panting pumpkins in Sacramento.

Welcome back to you Don. Is it hard to Row with gloves and spurs on?

Big Tevis.org 100 mile race in august from Lake Tahoe to Ca. Hope the Horses fair well

The Tevis Cup: Endurance riding. Much dustier than endurance rowing, but a decidedly better view than from my C2!
My neighbors just returned from Tahoe, a week early, because there was no longer any water in their cabin's well.
The horses won't have to swim the river crossing, this year!

Reminds me of some of those horse sequences in Snowy River...

Welcome to new team member Briana P.

Sometimes even the best prepared astrogators have equipment failure...here I am in my not so secret mountain lake location, and the WiFi charger failed. I can tell you that the lake is very, very blue and the boat dock business is brisk. And there is the requisite snow-capped peak in the background. This small mountain town gets totally overrun with tourists (especially on this July 4th holiday), and it is quite difficult to even find a parking place in the village....much less a charger. Phone calls are dropped simply because the available bandwidth is being exceeded. Still, I am persistent - and figured out another way to get things done. Meanwhile, your collective Lunie data coalesced into a single number...so in most cases, I can't see what palindrome might have been there.

Panting pumpkins...snort (as Just27 would say). Poor California veggies and fruits - that will cost all of us here in the US if there is big crop failure. Meanwhile, some areas get much more rain and snow melt than expected and the lake is fuller than I have ever seen it. Fortunately, this water goes to Denver through the Moffat Tunnel. The cities are thirsty.

Happy almost Fourth of July to everyone - with extra thanks to all the veterans.

Ron m ...it's a palindrome from silent Ron

Well, I guess that is to be expected from someone from the home state of President Calvin (Silent Cal) Coolidge I won't bore anyone, but there has been a lot going on for me lately. I hope I'm back to putting in some fair numbers and being present on the forum. Congratulations to all you Rockin' Rowers and Happy Independence Day
Ron
