Jubilant July Mousekercise Challenge

[scdak]

I've been MIA - on vacation and lots of activity, but since I only count active minutes that my fitbit records I can give the totals for the past week
431 minutes either walking or riding on "rail explorers" .........cycling on rail bikes for 6 miles in Saranac Lake, NY.........that was a blast but WORK!

792/800...........had I known I was this close to finishing I would have taken a walk tonight but since its midnight and I am still out of town and in the country at that ie no street lights I will just have to finish up tomorrow walking in the airport.

Congrats to 2manypets for reaching 75% of goal and Minnie Mouse Pink!




Mickey Mouse is not the only musical director in the house. Check out one of Maestro Minnie's masterpieces (segments from Mickey Mouse Works tv series):

Also congrats to Sophy1996 and Scdak for reaching Mickey Mouse Red!



Did you know that Mickey Mouse is the most frequently used write in candidate in US elections with Donald Duck coming in second? Thought that was a fun little tidbit seeing as it's election season now.



Can you imagine Mickey as president? Much as I love him, would rather not have him mixed in politics.

(This reminds me a podcast episode I heard in the past year that explored Santa Claus being approached to run for president. In theory sounds great, but let's just say it didn't end well and Santa ended up back in the North Pole)

And since we're in the midst of summer here's a fun video of Mickey and gang attempting to stay cool:

Love the Minnie cartoon!

I am also pleased to report a whopper of an exercise day. I was up early and took the "furry princesses" outs, then when DS got up, we decided to make it a Six Flags day! All total, adjusted walking minutes are an estimated 140, for 675/620...and goal!

I'm doing the same too! I logged lots of walking, but only using Active minutes from my Fitbit for this week.
Tuesday - 55 minutes walking my pooch princess Luna
Wednesday - 35 minute walking back/forth to brewfest. I actually logged 15k+ steps yesterday, but it was mostly just strolling around the event. Active minutes were the actual walk back/forth to the parking lot.
615/700 = 88% I'll drink to that.

Thanks for catching that! This is what I get for doing math at night. Correct total should be 1713/1900, right?

That is correct.

More wonderful color changes to announce:

3 more team members have reached Mickey Mouse Red: 2manypets, SarahDisney, and me Saphire5742!



Mickey became the first cartoon character to have a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame on November 18, 1978, in honor of his 50th birthday. The star is located on 6925 Hollywood Boulevard.



"Mickey Mouse, Our Shining Star" song:

And speaking of birthdays, a cute short video celebrating Mickey's birthday:

2 more team members have reached their goal and Goofy Green: PollyannaMom and Scdak! Way to go!



Goofy's voice was originally provided by Pinto Colvig from 1932-1939. In 1939 he had a falling out with Disney leaving Goofy without a voice. According to some that is what led to the "How to" Goofy series in which Goofy demonstrates various activities while someone else narrates.

Since it's summer here's Goofy demonstrating how to swim:

Others took over the voice temporarily until Colvig returned from 1944-1965. Currently he is voiced by Bill Farmer since 1987.

And since I love Goofy's laugh so much I'm going to share the following video as well from one of Goofy's earlier appearances. The whole thing is cute but for Goofy's laugh specifically skip to 4:55.

Would love to be a guest in that party
