Thanks for all the cupcakes :D!!

My goal for the FRC is 1MM, not sure I can do it, but I'm going to try.

Wild Bill, I just have that rechargable battery pack, but if it happens again I'll put in regular batteries.

Just take out the rechargeable battery pack for >30 minutes and put it back in - should do the same thing. Just make sure it's fully charged.

Also try to find the RESET button - should be on the back side rower's left.

I'll be unavailable for one week of the FRC, so your 1MM will have to carry us, eh?

:D

Hey, Everyone, I'm back on board. This has been a very busy summer. Not what I expected when the snow melted off, but very productive overall. I made it through the Two Bear Marathon yesterday. The weather was great, and it was a good race. Now to finish the email to the team, and get ready to put out some rowing meters in the morning!

OOOO It's the FRC!!! Good luck to everyone!

I have a really busy day, but I sneaked in on my lunch break to do 10 km :P

Wild Bill, I tried both of your suggestions :) So far it seems to be working great, Thanks!

Peter, Some would say thanks for the info.

I need to revise and extend my early remarks. I guess I will be here for the first two days since we aren't leaving until Thurs. Yikes another Duh moment. There seem to be more frequently lately.
