Susan in TN Posted March 19 Share Posted March 19 Good morning! No conch yet. It's really cold out there, but should be warming up nicely. Of course, Frozen Head has it's own moody climate system. It was about 5:10 this morning when I got the joke about "Frozen Ed Furtaw". Ed Furtaw -> Frozen 'Ed -> Frozen Head Imma check The Lost Kitchen for postcard reservation instructions. 🌷Happy Spring!🌷 Coffee! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks like ❤️John Kelly❤️ is running again. Aurelien also (first finisher last last year). Karel is not. Jasmine is there! Doesn't she hold the record for women there? Tomo of Japan is also back.

Susan in TN Posted March 20 Share Posted March 20 (edited) Good morning! I've had a little headache and scratchy throat building all night. At one point I dreamed that I realized it was because I forgot to have my afternoon coffee but lucky for me I was in a bookshop that served coffee. None of that was true, unfortunately. I am guessing it's allergy nonsense. I'm planning to bring the Van to the autoshop when ds19 gets back from class and see if they can do an alignment and check the tires and brakes and transmission. I expect that they will keep the van at least until Monday, so we are having to do some transportation acrobatics with one vehicle, 4 drivers, and 5 schedules. I haven't been able to find a ride home from the shop, so if their transportation service isn't available I will have to walk home. It's an easy 4-1/2 mile stroll - nothing like the colorful terrain of the Barkley - Rat Jaw, Big Hell, Danger Dave's Climbing Wall, The Bad Thing... Coffee!

Susan in TN Posted March 20 Share Posted March 20 (edited) Warning: BarkleyPo! Avert yer Eyeballs! We are getting regular updates along the lines of: A guy with awesome glasses has begun loop two at 9:45:04. #BM100 A guy with very daring shorts has finished loop one in 9:30:24. #BM100 Guy with red hat finished loop one in 10:27:41, almost an hour behind the previous loop one finisher. #BM100 ...Leaving everyone to guess and speculate. We don't even know the names of half the runners. Sounds like Jasmine Paris ("Small European Woman"?) is out on her second loop. "Nondescript Guy" might be Jared Campbell. It's all part of the fun.

Wheres Toto Posted March 21 Share Posted March 21 Morning, Happy Thursday. Today is a busy busy day. Classes, 4H club and 4H Fair meeting. Basically running around from 9am until 9pm. But tomorrow I don't have anything until 4pm and nothing Saturday and Sunday. Next weekend will be busy with a Science Day for 4H where dh and I are presenting and then Easter on Sunday but I won't have any Thursday evening meetings and no classes on Friday. I wonder what it's going to be like the week I have Thursday meetings AND Friday classes AND weekend activities? I'm an introvert. I need downtime. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Susan in TN Posted March 21 Share Posted March 21 Good morning! I was running a fever all night - not great for sleeping. I managed to get up and take Little Pup out to potty but I think I will mostly be out for the count today. Dd15 has an orthodontist appointment this afternoon and might get her braces off. I will need to contact the orchestra and let them know I won't be able to play in the concert tonight. Phooey. We're playing the Corelli.

Susan in TN Posted March 21 Share Posted March 21 There are several runners out on the third loop - sounds like John, Jasmine, and Damien are out front. The weather is fantastic so that should help. A lot of people are hoping for the first woman finisher. Also #TeamTomo I haven't heard about those 7 runners still out on their first loop. Surely they've made it back by now. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Servant4Christ Posted March 22 Share Posted March 22 (edited) I just ordered a LOT of nice quality blank index cards to make math flashcards because R&S's are waaaay too big. I hope I chose the right thickness: 17pt/130lb/325gsm. I also ordered a cool looking 100s board that comes with some transparent colored tiles to help with skip counting. I like this idea better than dry erase markers on laminated 100s boards. I'm thinking about making a felt board for grade 1 math. I'm sure I could use other manipulatives like our base ten set, but a felt board is simple enough to make and I think the youngers will have fun with it for more than just math.

Susan in TN Posted March 22 Share Posted March 22 Good morning! Might as well good morning now while I wait for the Tylenol to kick in. Earlier I blew my nose, sneezed, and coughed at the same time. It was pretty spectacular. Dd17 needs me to get some groceries for her first eagle project work day lunch - maybe I can get ds29 to handle that.

It’s getting too easy. I’m kind of finding this sentiment…frustrating. Many have expressed it, but I wonder if there wasn’t a woman in the mix how many people would simply chalk it up to good weather (it has been) or a really stellar field of runners (they all are amazing)? Plus, there is still no guarantee any will finish. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Susan in TN Posted March 22 Share Posted March 22 (edited) Last year they were saying the same thing - 3 finishers! (and also good weather). And the course is definitely harder this year.

Susan in TN Posted March 22 Share Posted March 22 I usually make veggie scrambled eggs for breakfast on Fridays but since I was still in bed (actually sleeping!) someone else made them and added some sliced cucumber.
