Hold down the reset/lap button and the mode button together to get your 205/305/310xt to restart if it won't turn on or if it freezes up.

Are you sure it wasn't dead?

From rAtTLeTrAp on Tue, Oct 04, 2011 at 14:17:59 from 24.18.125.122

No, he was just REALLY tired... and soggy. I'm sure of it ;)

From Lily on Tue, Oct 04, 2011 at 20:35:47 from 67.199.178.210

You know what? I know I can always count on coming to your blog and seeing solid splits. It is very motivating. Nice job my friend! :)

From rAtTLeTrAp on Tue, Oct 04, 2011 at 22:01:26 from 24.22.239.183

Thanks Lily. Solid splits, dead animals, bad poetry, you can find it all here :)

From Burt on Wed, Oct 05, 2011 at 15:53:15 from 68.14.209.26

I guess raccoons aren't a-scared of Sasquatches.

From Kelli on Fri, Oct 07, 2011 at 22:08:57 from 71.219.83.151

Ditto Lily. Man, you are a runner. AND I am really sorry to break it to you, but the thing was dead. DEAD I TELL YOU!

Squishy sleeping raccoon...okay we will go with that.

From Steam8 on Sat, Oct 08, 2011 at 17:55:54 from 166.70.55.77

Haha! I needed a laugh today!

From allie on Tue, Oct 11, 2011 at 12:02:57 from 161.38.218.168

my hamster died when i was in 2nd grade and my dad told me it was "hibernating"

cruel...

From rAtTLeTrAp on Tue, Oct 11, 2011 at 12:42:07 from 24.18.125.122

Burt - who said anything about sasquatches?

Kelli, April - If he's not there the next time I run by, that proves he was sleeping and left when he woke up, right?

Steam - Knock it off, this is serious stuff here.

Alli - Are you saying hamsters don't hibernate? I need to call my dad...

From Burt on Tue, Oct 11, 2011 at 13:20:39 from 72.223.91.148

I don't know. Maybe one of your patients thinks it's time for a haircut and a shave.

From Kelli on Tue, Oct 11, 2011 at 13:49:11 from 71.219.83.151

YEAH, that is how it works. Accept in England where there is this guy that lives off of roadkill, he might have been visiting.

From Burt on Tue, Oct 11, 2011 at 13:52:07 from 72.223.91.148

Yes. Accept it. It's funner.

From rAtTLeTrAp on Tue, Oct 11, 2011 at 14:11:33 from 24.18.125.122

You're mean Burt ;)

From Burt on Tue, Oct 11, 2011 at 14:22:44 from 72.223.91.148

I haven't picked on Kelli in such a long time. I've been nice. Sort of.

From Kelli on Tue, Oct 11, 2011 at 22:42:21 from 71.219.83.151

Did I say FUNNER? That is not a word. I am confused at why I am being mocked. I guess that is IS why I am being mocked.

From Burt on Tue, Oct 11, 2011 at 23:03:13 from 72.223.91.148

No. I said funner once and you mocked me. But I shouldn't use what you used to mock me to mock you because then it seems like I'm holding a grudge. But you did say accept and is IS. So, I'll go eat some fudge with my grudge.

From Kelli on Wed, Oct 12, 2011 at 09:46:49 from 71.219.83.151

I see, I meant EXCEPT in England. I do not usually mess those two up. I even reread all of my posts looking for the mistake and missed it. I need to stop teaching PE and go back to English. But PE is funner. ;o)
