hey- - 05.20.2010, 02:59 AM

I haven't been posting alot, oh but I am still lurking.

I've spent the better part of the last 2 1/2 years on bedrest due to pressure sores. A couple months back I got a $23,000 wheelchair with a $6,000 custom seat. I've actually been going outside! I've been driving my van, visiting friends, eating out, I've been living!! Not merely existing And most importantly to my RCM brethren- I have been beeting the bloody piss out of my LST2!!!!

I've accumulated more time behind the radio in the last couple of months than I have in the previous 6 years of this hobby. Minnesota offers plenty of varying terrain and bountiful places to run. I've been in sand, black dirt, peat, river mud, rocks, gravel, grass, fields and parking lots. I've ran over
piles of all sorts of materials, even broken glass at the glass factory!

I just wanted to drop a few lines and say hi to everybody. I'm doing well and having fun. I'm just too tired at night to devote my normal amount of time to RCM. Which is a good thing.

So- How is everybody?

I agree good to hear your doing good, and that chair sounds tits. We need pictures. I'm crossing my fingers for a rocket booster.

Even as a newer member hear it has always been nice to hear some of the things you have had to say.

Harold glad to hear that you are living! It's nice to hear of someone who has difficult times and recovers to be happy again.

So with the wheelchair...you must be hiding a 24S esc to power that around capable of speed of excess of 15-20mph!

Seriously...welcome back Harold and I am glad you are doing so well.
