Nice morning. Going to get into the 90’s here this afternoon so decided that I had better get this in during the early AM.

An old EP waterski
Here we have a picture of an old EP water ski that was my brother and that I used A LOT back in the day. My Dad dragged it out to so the nephew’s could take a spin on it.

Prisma camera app
Heard about the Prisma app today. Fun app. Check out the two images below. The first picture is from my iPhone camera. Dawn at our house looking West.
This is from Prisma. Cool…
This last image is one my wife took in Zandvoort, The Netherlands of a kid on a swing with the ocean in the background. The originals really good and I like this quite a bit as well.

Vatican digitizes a 1,600 year old epic
Just saw this post. How cool would it be if the Vatican could do all of its documents?

Mom and her fawns
We’ve lived here for 4 years now and each year there have been at least 1 fawn and up to 3 running around in the late Spring and Summer.
This year we’ve got 1 doe with 2 fawns and another with 1.

Running a little bit faster
Another run, just a bit faster and consistently into the 9 minute mile mark.

Fundamentals
Just read this quote (from this article):
“What people don’t realize is that professionals are sensational because of the fundamentals.” ~12-time MLB All-Star, 1995 MVP, and 1990 World Series Champion shortstop Barry Larkin
Great stuff. You can see players in all sports who are magnificent athletes but who neglected the fundamentals of the game (or the profession). Those that have emphasized fundementals can anticipate, know where to be on the court, the field or the pitch. It’s really fun to watch.

A longer run…
Did a bit of a longer run yesterday. 4+ miles. Felt really good.
Then spent the morning helping my Dad remove a stump.

NASA’s ‘Mars Explorers Wanted’ posters
There are pretty cool. NASA commissioned a set of posters in 2009 for an exhibit at the Kennedy Space Center’s Visitor Complex.
These posters are the result. Awesome.

Rowing, with a Water Rower, for fun and… profit?
About 2 years ago I purchased a rower (from Water Rower) because I wanted another aerobic activity in the house (we have a treadmill which I quite like running on).
My wife used it a bit, so did I. I think the total number of sessions was less than 20.
I decided this month that since I was going to do the ‘Tough Mudder’ (god help me) I would start running and using the rower on the off days.
Would you know it one of wheels on the seat split in half!
I don’t know if this is defect of the wheel or what. I’m hoping not commentary on my weight.
Regardless, I purchased 2 new wheels from Water Rower, replaced the wheel and am off again…rowing my way to nowhere except good health I hope.
