    Spent all day cleaning the trucks. The F-150 has all the winter crap cleaned off an the Navigator got her spring bath. Looking forward to driving it again. It sounds stupid but keeping it in the garage all winter makes it like having a new ride 2 years in a row. We took it out a few times to keep everything lubed and moving but only on totally dry roads. The under-carriage and motor still look brand new since it avoided the evil salt.

    She's back in the safety of her garage now..lol..

    hmm I usually just powerwash the bottom of my pickup after everystorm, and pretty much every time I drive in the salty roads gets really cold out but at the same time Im looking to keep it a few more years and want to be able to get top dollar when I do get rid of it

    Im finally taking the firebird for a spin this sunday/monday for its spring ride, then finishing putting the lift in the garage. Ill also wash the bike then maybe go for a ride on it finally

    Yeah I always do that too but the wheels still needed a good polish to get rid of the tarnish. I drive the Pa Pike all the way across in it and I've found the water really activates whatever they use on it. Whenever I spray it off I always handwashed the wheels so they don't corrode so bad.

    I hate winter..lol..

    Spend a lot of time with my daughter who is heading towards 1 year old. I play a lot of guitar, video games (Mass Effect being my fave, hence the avitar), read way too much, and fish when I can. Also micro/craft beer consumption/appreciation.
    That being said, I am not going to be doing much of that at all today as I am leaving for Toledo Oh in about an hour.

    You ever play Rocksmith? It is kinda like Guitar Hero, except you plug in a real guitar to play it and it scrolls all the chords and notes with highlighted strings and frets.

    yea I know about the turnpike, been on it a few times... Im saving my rims hence why I plasti dipped my truck rims black for the winter, kinda like the look but miss the aluminun look. Im just to lazy to peel it off

    Well my bike is broken, dad said he went to use it (he lets me keep it there so whatever) and was leaing oil, he caught it right away down the street so luckily no damage will be done. Going to order the parts for it

    Yea Ive got it, only thing is is there is a slight delay that can mess you up. But for someone with no experience, it is a fantastic learning tool. Wish they hadn't been sued and more was done with it.

    They got another game coming out called Band Fuse. Supposed to be a better music game without the lag. Plus they use music vids as a background instead of the stale virtual crowd that Rocksmith uses. Can't wait for that game to come out.

    hmm thanks road_runner, always wanted to earn guitar and Im just too cheap to pay for lessons :biggrin_2559:

    My best friend was going to teach me for free on his own time, just so hed have someone to jam with, but ended up moving away... I was gonna buy one of his guitars but never did... What do you think is best to start with? electric or Accoustic???
