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

[Kona2]

Already started streaming "Secret City," on Netflix. Starts with a person rowing on a river ... can't be bad, right!?

Depends on what else is on or in the river....

Spoiler alert! You just nailed the beginning, and the ending, of season 1.
(But, I'll have time to forget all that, before season 2 comes out, later this fall.)

Whooooosh! That's the sound of you and your erg flying through ANOTHER month!!


Canada Day and US Independence Day being celebrated this week, and lots of themed merchandise around the stores. Didn't expect that I would see themed golf balls, but I should have! Wasn't the stars or stripes that caught my fancy...it was the beach ball colored golf ball. This turned out to be prophetic. In fact, my foursome threatened to throw that ball in the lake as it gave off contagious bad juju.

Doug 8,334 m...how's the Manitou Incline these days?

I'm looking to hit the Manitou this Friday, been training on the 200 step Castle Rock (mini incline) over the last month I usually do 7-8X up for 1400-1600 steps, the challenge for training though at Castle Rock is 200 up then you get to rest coming down where the Manitou is roughly 2750 steps straight up, so it's tough to train without taking a break, so Ive started running the path down at castle rock to keep my heart rate up, which was going well till I aggravated my planters on the right foot. very painful this morning but it always loosens up, it shouldn't keep me off the Manitou though, I just might not run the 3 mile trail down afterword though. Happy rowing to you all, I plan on putting more meters in after I do the Manitou.

On day 63 I finally hopped back on the old grey mare. I posted a big 5K or so. I added this to my sheet and it told me that my average daily meters was 82. This means if I continue holding that average for the year I’d have 29827m. Always good to have lofty goals.
Keep on rock’n.

Ditto! Stumbled on a reference ... not exactly a pleasant reference, but still funny in this context. Seems a book has already been written foretelling your return: "Somebody with a little hammer". https://www.nytimes.com/2017/04/04/book ... ammer.html
But even a little hammer can do a lot of damage, so start swinging.

I’ve never forgotten my computer on a trip up to the lake in the mountains, so write this down! My computer bag and previous numbers for stats are sitting on my table - with all the various electronic gizmos and cords. I realized this 1.5 hr on the road, and was unwilling to do a do over trip to go retrieve it. So. I didn’t mean to take a break from stats, yet here it is. I do happen to have my WiFi connection, but no ability to access spreadsheet. Erg on, Lunies! You’ll be posting some big numbers tomorrow evening when I return to posting. Meanwhile, if you have some numbers you particularly want to call out, please post them on the forum here and we will all say oooh and aaaah to celebrate them with you.

Speaking of the oooh aaaah factor, I am hoping for clear views of the galaxy tonight! An occasional streaking meteorite will be welcome. We drag air mattresses out into the yard for comfortable gazing. The dogs think this kind of camping is awesome. Fire ban in effect for all the counties up here. Nearest burn area was 11 miles away, but with still a lot of beetle killed trees close by, things could change with one lightning strike or errant campfire.

Welcome back to Thor!

Thanks for checking in, K2! No worries about stats.

Thanks folks. It's like coming home again. Who says you can't go home again? Little hammer works for me. Grin.
Did 10K this morning and supposed to be putting up the gone fishing sign for some floating around the lake this afternoon. Nope, before you ask, the boat has 40 horses. Grin.
The reasonably Mighty Thor.

Keep on rock'n.
