Two thirds in and TSBT own second place. Wailing Angus Beef holds 1st place in the user stakes. Or should that be steaks?
Seriously, I'm never again going to be able to drive thru the county of Angus to visit my brother in Forfar without imagining the placid local cattle suddenly ceasing chewing the cud, in favour of singing the blues!
Rechenkraft.net are in first place. This seems only fair as it's their project. But on the other hand we are gaining fast so why not snatch it off them?

We've improved a wee bit.

This app doesn't seem to checkpoint incidentally

Yea, Bryan is back! Speaking of back, how is yours?

TSBT now comfortably in the lead with just under 2 days to go. A first two steps on the podium lock out by Wailing Angus Beef and Bowmore leading the charge. Well done guys.

Still a problem Steve but there is light at the end of the tunnel. They are allowing "elective" surgeries again so I'm scheduled for Feb 2. They are going to remove the disc and fuse 2 vertebrae together so that should keep it from happening again.

Hope everything will go smooth for ya, Bryan!

How does ad revenue work for BoincStats? Does someone need to click on an ad for them to get paid or do we just need to allow and see the ads?

I don't think the site gets any credit unless users "click" on an ad. I know that is how it used to work.

I'm done with the Yoyo Challenge so Scole will go roaring back into the lead ... I'm running Yoyo for the Pirates

Wife had a steel plate inserted to fuse 2 of her vertebrae together. Worked a treat. After far too long on pain meds, she was fixed within a few months of the surgery.

I'm glad it worked that well Alez .... I'm hoping for the same result. Tired of only being able to sit and having to suck down pain pills!

We won the challenge!
In the individual stakes we had:
Wailing Angus Beef .. 1st
Megacruncher ........ 4th
davidBAM ............ 11th
Solidair79 ............ 30th
MarkRBright ......... 92nd
flyguygla ............ 126th
giles ................. 127th
Gibson Praise ...... 131st
Hal Bregg ........... 176th
thinboab ............ 205th

Thanks to all & especially Bryan/Bowmore who has cunningly disguised his efforts, but who made all the difference. Good luck with the spinal fusion surgery!

Best of luck to you Bryan. I had my back done 14 years ago, and with two titanium rods in it, all I know is it had been great.
