Finished up a clay bar and polish/wax on the Lightning. And then made a beer run.

If I did a clay bar, polish and wax on mine, I would die. It's 115° out.

Beer run first. So I can keep cool while polishing.

After finding out that my battery died because I was driving around with no gauges for a couple days, I decided to put a dummy one in until Monday...

And decided to go after some of this wiring. PO had cut the battery to frame ground. Re-did battery to body and battery to engine for now. Temporary until I re-run everything (starter, alternator, PDC, etc. I have a nice supply of a few different gauges of welding cable, feet and feet of different sizes of shrink wrap and hydraulic crimpers. I always use black cable but color code my shrink wrap. It's a start. Replaced terminals.

Btw, an nice HID projector retrofit is in my future. The lighting at night on this truck is atrocious.

Ohh, I wanna play!



Spent most of my teenage years working my *** off to buy most of these!

Don't have much time to play anymore, and it really makes me sad. At the end of the day I'm out of energy and can't focus on practicing or even just playing for fun.

No Jacksons, unfortunately. You might be seeing the ESP LTD with the blue top.

I need to get my Jem set up properly again. The bridge is all out of whack because I stupidly changed gauges. It's my favorite to play, but the white 7-string Universe next to it may surpass it. I've yet to actually play that one.

Nothing too exciting but new fuel filter, air filter, cleaned MAF sensor. Then test fit the camper frame and punched holes in the flatbed for mounting it. It'll be spring mounted to allow the truck frame and flatbed to twist over rough terrain without twisting the camper itself.

Guess our Mama's didn't listen to old Willie.
