Good evening lodge.

Back in the cities. I ended up golfing yesterday, it wasn't as cold as I expected, but it wasn't warm either. Then I was supposed to play farmer today and help my dad out, but despite a strong wind the beans never dried all day. It isn't looking good at this point with the days getting shorter and only colder weather to come.

On the bright side, the Vikes are still undefeated.:D

We had our beans in the field we lease out done yesterday. Its about 30 acres or so, but I didn't see around when I left around 1pm yesterday. 13 hours later, they're all thru our field and had about half of the neighbors field done when I rolled back home.

I wasn't sure if you'd seen that one or not.

Fajitas turned out really well on the new electric skillet. The next experiment will be pork chops and spanish rice.

Evening, Lodge!

As for how I fared today:

place: 829
Age group: 76th
Time: 5:11:10
Pace: 11:53/mile

For being a first time marathoner, I think I did well. However, I did not anticipate my legs turning into cement at mile 20. Thankfully, my Team in Training coaches and other runners kept spurring me on, encouraging me to just keep moving, and when I finally saw the finish line, I gathered whatever I had left, and surged for a strong finish.

I have a brand new medal and a Team in Training finishers pin to show for my efforts... plus I had a chocolate gel-stache after the race, but after finishing a marathon, who cares if you've got a little energy gel on your face?

Post-race, the marathon provided the standard water, gatorade, fruit, and bagels, plus they offered string cheese, yogurt, chili from Wendy's, beer from New Holland brewing company, and frozen custard from Culver's.

During the Team in Training victory celebration, we dined on roast beef, roasted potatoes, a Caesar salad, corn, chicken wings, plus a tray with grapes, crackers, baguettes, and various cheeses. Don't think I'll ever eat as well again as I did this weekend.

As for tomorrow, I have to work, but I've been told to rest and go for a little walk to keep the blood flowing.

Well, have a great night, folks.

Not a bad time there Bob.

We can go through about 250-300 acres in a day, with 3 guys working. But we have a pretty huge operation. So we'd kill that 30 acre field in about an hour.

Yeah, our guy only has one combine I believe, so it probably took him a little longer than that. Plus you're probably out on flatter land while ours is a bit more hilly. We do have one big dip here that would make a pretty cool amphtheater that you would probably wanna be really careful with on how you go about it.

Re: Rep Retirement Lodge 86: Noobs, Halloween, and Pumpkins, oh my!

Does anyone look sometimes and suddenly realize just how weird some of the monikers are on here? Most of the time I don't even think about it but when I do I think ~it is weird that I don't think they are weird most of the time.
 
Re: Rep Retirement Lodge 86: Noobs, Halloween, and Pumpkins, oh my!

Good Morning, Shirtless! :)
Good Morning, Lewis! :)

Congrats, Bob! No one warned you about "the wall" at mile 20? Apparently, what you experienced is pretty common in the marathon. What, besides resting and recovering, is the plan now?

Howdy Birthday Boy! Well, when you are talking to someone in real life it is kinda weird to refer to people on line by their screen names.

Eh, I do it all the time. I'll also answer to 'Diva in real life.

No but consider some of the others. In my mind they seem normal- I read them all the time but when I say them it is weird. Just sayin'

Can you give us examples?

There are some handles that would seem a bit weird if I were speaking to the person, and this has happened. I remember meeting CHA and chuckling to myself when I was going to call him "Addict". :D

There are also handles that are just hard to enunciate like KC8NIY, but he seems to have disappeared anyway.
