jared,your doing the right thing by getting out there and finding boxes,people say that happiness can cure most ailments and illnesses...keep rockin jared...who is that fella Ranulph Fiennes ? he had a heart attack then ran lots of marathons..
http://www.famouspeople.co.uk/r/ranulphfiennes.html
i read this bit,it says .........
Despite suffering from a heart attack and undergoing a double heart by-pass operation just four months previously, Fiennes joined up with Stroud again in 2003 to carry out the extraordinary feat of completing seven marathons in seven days on seven continents. Their route:
26th October - Race 1: Patagonia, South America
27th October - Race 2: Falkland Islands, "Antarctica"
28th October - Race 3: Sydney, Australasia
29th October - Race 4: Singapore, Asia
31st October - Race 5: London, Europe
31st October - Race 6: Cairo, Africa
1st November - Race 7: New York, North America
Originally Fiennes had planned to run the first marathon on King George Island, Antartica. The second marathon would then have taken place in Santiago, Chile. However bad weather and aeroplane engine trouble caused him to change his plans, running the South American segment in southern Patagonia first and then hopping to the Falklands as a substitute for the Antarctic leg.
Speaking after the event, Fiennes said that the Singapore marathon had been by far the most difficult because of high humidity and pollution. He also said that his cardiac surgeon had approved the marathons providing his heart-rate did not exceed a set amount; Fiennes later confessed to having forgotten to pack his heart-rate monitor.

Great score Jared. 
I've yet to pull a true classic 70's or early 80's boombox out of a goodwill.

What a coincidence. I took my SCR-8 to work with me today. Sometimes I just can't resist those full length V.U.s flashing. It would have been nice if the Blockbuster would have had them. Of course the long throw woofers of the G.E. are nice but they're really not necessary for most types of music. The SCR-8 is the perfect box to rock out with.
