Re: Keeping Erg Outside?

As much as we loved the area closer to the beach where fog would be an issue, we are looking for houses a bit more inland due to the schools and commute times. It is much drier and very brown.

Thanks all for the advice. Will make sure I have the cover ordered and proper bolts.

Keeping Erg Outside?

Does anyone keep their erg outside? I have not actually been on my erg anytime in recent memory, mostly due to the fact that this summer we are moving...about 3000 miles away to southern California as Dennis's job was transferred. While most people go to CA with a big happy smile on their face, I am...

Re: 2012 Weight Loss Thread

Great job Scoop!

July 23...156lbs
July 30...150.9...-5.1lbs

Funny thing is all I have done is eat normally, without the summer time treats like ice cream and beer. So the water weight is gone, but the remaining 16 lbs to get back to lightweight will be harder.

Thanks for the birthday wishes! Had a nice relaxing day with the family on vacation. When we got home this weekend Dennis made a lovely birthday dinner and the kids created a very tasty cake with enough candles to create a blinding blaze.

Today my present to myself was carving out time to erg.
