Toothdoc..
I get all my graphics from Photobucket.They have pages and pages of graphics for any word you may enter into their search engine.It may take a few looks to get just the right pic but always worth the extra time.

Great rowing and glad that the New Grips are working for you.I am on my 3rd pair and always have a spare pair near by.They took the pain and hand abuse out of my daily erging.

Happy St Patricks to all Luna-tics.

One million meters...in a season! Milestone for me! Did an extra 2K as a victory lap so to speak. I am going to go for 17K total for today - for St Patrick's Day!

Lifetime meters now at 2.8 MM - next goal is to hit the 3 MM mark by end of season.

CONGRATULATIONS ON YOUR MILLION, JAN!!

I, too, have been under the weather and not rowing. I made an attempt last night but had to stop way short of my 10k goal.

You all are doing GREAT and continue to inspire. I am drinking LOTS of water and resting so I hope to be back in the boat shortly.

Is there another round of flu going around? I've got the headache, chills, and aches thing going on...

In honor of St Urho's Day yesterday (he's the hero that chased the grasshoppers out of Finland and saved the vineyards) I wore a purple T shirt and green chamois shirt all day. There are more Finns where I live than Irish, so I have to give equal respect. Today I'm wearing my green chamois shirt (again) for St. Pat's Day, but we are going to have a marvelous home cooked dinner tonight of corned beef round, with potatoes, carrots, onions, and cabbage simmered in with the corn beef. Can't wait.

A big CONGRATULATIONS to Jan on the million meter trophy! And to all who are nursing the flu, get well soon. We have a long way to go to catch team Canada. ...Now if I could only hope to push Gabriella along to her full potential. For those that don't know, we have a 2007 NARC warrior on our Luna-Tic team. The fifth ranked woman overall during last year's NARC.

DulthNoose,

Maybe if we combine our efforts we can push hard enough to Challenge Gabriella. I'm with you on the push.

Most of my recent 1,000,000 meters were rowed on a model B at my Gym. they also have a model C at their other location, which I use sometimes. today I pulled my model B out of the garage, put new batteries in it and low and behold, it works. I do need to do some tightening of the shock cord, some navel jelly to remove rust and some chain oil, which I still have from my purchase 15 years ago. Great that C2 has instructions for all this on line. Boy, does that seat feel funky compared to the model C. Anyway, my children were quite curious about this and my 6 year old rowed his first 1,000 meters thinking it was fun and demanding water. My daughter, who is 4, did 100 meters with no shoes and a very long pink shirt. i never knew you could row in anything but lycra but was proven wrong.
I figure if I get the machine out, I can throw down a few more 1000 a day while watching the kids on the swing.

Great idea. Keep it fun and the kids will love it. Here's to some extra K's.

"Kona2" One million meters...in a season! Milestone for me! Did an extra 2K as a victory lap so to speak. I am going to go for 17K total for today - for St Patrick's Day!

Yowzer ... Congrats, Jan! We just home after a 3-day mini-vacation to celebrate our St. Paddy's Day wedding anniversary, and I see I missed some serious happenings! I'll just have to let dinner settle, then see if I can do a little catching up ... 17K for the Patron Saint of Ireland, hmm.

Great images from Ireland, Dan. I see a theme and it's name is Guinness. (Any doors with #27 for my collection? Didn't see any posted.)
Chris/27
(So, is this flu that's going around the team a cyber-flu? I'm kinda glad I was offline for a few days!)

As you can see, I'm still working on the St Urho concept. This is a photo of the statue of St Urho (which apparently is pronounced in pirate-ese as arrrrho). Hope everyone enjoyed their respective (or combined) festivals!

I just updated the NARC topic - we have one new crew member for the NARC competition! Welcome Lauren to the Luna-Tics virtual NARC team! We now have 38 people in the boat, 23 from the year-round team and 15 crew from one or more of the space stations.

We are in second place, by only a few meters. Collectively, for the competition, we have 883K meters! Wow!

Let's ROW!
