Well, it was that time of year again, time for the Relay For Life. If you read in this thread my team pulled out of the event due to health issues. Originally I didn't know this when I started my fundraising. I had some members here donate money, so I figured, since they donated, I would do some walking ANYWAY!

I have to say, walking with the Wheely Dynasty HT-959 is agonizing to say the least. Even with a Blu_Fuz strap, it's a crusher. I have a massive bruise on my hip and my neck has "Rope Burn" on it.

But in the end it was VERY worth it. I had many people come up so happy to see me and had wondered where I was. They said "We were wondering where the 'Boombox Guy' was". That is really cool. An older woman came up to me and said "People say you have a large collection of those radio's, is it true?".

To me, that is friggin' cool. I know we are there to walk for a serious cause, but to me, it can't all just be heavy memories and heartache. Sometimes, just for a few moments, it's nice to think of something a little "lighter" (although there is nothing light about the HT-959)

In the end I walked 4.62 miles around a 1/4 track.

You're a mad man Chris! There should be some sort of medal for carrying that beast so far! I already donated and was happy to do that even if you didn't do any walking but the fact that you did this even when you didn't have to makes you an awesome person Chris :-)

Really awesome job dude. That radio is not a joke. Just the size of it makes handling it a nightmare. Thanks for all you do.

Thanks again for all the kind words.

I recently started a 36 week program with a chiropractor to try to straighten my neck and lower back problems. Those feel fine, it's all my muscles that are sore, and my hip bruise.
