Hey, what a coincidence.<br /><br />2 dudes from North of 60, using rowing as their main form of workouts, and look at the car we drive:<br /><img src='http://216.119.121.169/Cross%20Canada%2 ... /smart.jpg' border='0' alt='user posted image' /><br /><br />Unbelievable, eh...., what are the odds????<br /><br />Jim

(Smart minds think alike ) I'll post a picture of mine when (if) I can figure out how to do it. I like your choice of colours. Someone told me that there was a smart car in Yellowknife. Is yours the only one? There are three here in Whitehorse and I know of at least one more that is on order (plus Habitat For Humanity) is raffeling one off in February.

Just checking in to see how everyone's doing. I took last weekend off then came down with a killer flu on Monday morn. As you can imagine, I have been doing no erging but lots of <i>running</i> this week. <br /><br />Congrats to John and FrancoisEh! on your PB's and a big welcome to all those who are bonkers enough to join us on our kilo-marathon.<br /><br />Mark

Yeah, my wife's Smart Car is the only one in Yellowknife. Everyone in town is waiting to see how it makes it through the winter. It has been great so far.<br /><br />Jim

As Jim mentioned, ours has also worked well this winter and finally it's not such a novelty. For a long time it would attract crowds and lots of questions. I even got asked to do a few interviews (my moment in the sun!) Hunter, our chessy, was never much of a puller, but he could swim almost as far as we could row . <br /><br />10k in two rows of mellow meters. Have a great weekend everyone. When I'm not rowing I'll be putting in some ceiling boards in our downstairs. If I had known how much work it was going to be to build a log house 6 years ago I might have fainted . I'm thinking it might have become a lifetime hobby . <br /><br />Get well Mark <br /><br />
