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

[Kona2]

Day 20....

The reindeer are really queuing up...and with just 7 days to go before Challenge end, well there are still a LOT of opportunities. At least four teammates are in position to get their reindeer today, and a couple more antler lights would be nice, too. Never know when you might run yer sleigh into a foggy patch.

Not a meter milestone, (or a mile meterstone), but I now have owned my erg for 25 years.
My erging stats for those 25 years:
days - 9131
allowable days - 7559
actual rows - 6573

mean meters per day - 8879
mean meters per allowable day - 10726
mean meters per row - 12335

mean minutes per day - 35.9
mean minutes per allowable day - 43.4
mean minutes per row - 49.9

cumulative split time - 2:01.4

Just a man and his ... erg


Congratulations on 25 years of erging, David. And for that split time that you've been able to maintain all these years.

Looks like Photobucket has kicked my bucket - working on the graphics. Grrrrrr

i gave up on Photobucket years ago when they froze my pictures and wanted $499.00 to allow 3rd party hosting to webpages/blogs. I found a work around using Google Photos.
1. On the Google photo you want to post, click on the "share symbol"
2. Click on the "get link" and copy that link
3. Go to the site: https://ctrlq.org/google/photos/ (Before posting this 12/19/2019 at 6:45 a.m. I tested this link and the site was down. Hope this is not a bad sign....)
4. Paste the link code into the box and click "get code"
5. This will automatically take to to where you can copy the new code to post your Google picture to the internets.
Hope this might help some.

Thanks! The entire site was down today - and might be tomorrow as well. We will soldier on as they say!

Well, after waiting all day, the graphics are still lost or inaccessible. I can only imagine that this is causing the small Photobucket team a bit of angst. They were working on some issues for their mobile app (and I briefly toyed with idea of posting all things today on my phone). Briefly. Then I came to my senses. Hahaha.

Still have 42 reindeer, but we have had some significant gains in Holiday Challenge meters. Antler lights (use your imagination) have been earned by Warnie, Ian B and Patrick S. Gary has just earned the ear wag by hitting 500 K Holiday Challenge meters. We welcome a returning team member, Paul B, and that brings our total to 165 members. We've earned over TEN million Holiday Challenge meters...that is amazing!
