    That's also a good way to go. I've got a weight set/ bench / squat rack in my garage. Unfortunately it's full of shit( mostly giblet stuff) so there's no room to utilize it

    I went to an old school, built in the 60's. Lots of big windows, lots of drafts. Everybody tended to dress on the warm side. Lots of portables, too, so we spent a fair amount of time outdoors between classes walking from classroom to classroom

    I don't use them as often as I should. Not at all during the summer, since I'm working outdoors every spare moment during the warmer months, and I can run outside then too.
    During the winter I use them a couple of times a week if I'm lucky. Just don't have much for time when I'm gone from 6AM to 6PM and have to cook dinner when I get home.
    But, better than paying for a gym membership that I don't use for the same reason. :notsure:

    Meh don't be. Everyone starts somewhere. And everything is scalable so you won't be snatching heavy weight for time your first day. You'd be surprised the types/ fitness level of people who do it.

    If you see a bunch of jacked dudes/ chicks most of them have been doing it for years to get that way. And in general most people are really nice/ welcoming. Some gyms are pretty competition focused which can be intimidating and probably not the best place to start out anyways.

    Doesn't matter, you'll be smoked working out with a piece of PVC pipe that weights maybe 1lb. You would my be lifting anything for a while anyways.

    I know, i use to do a mix of styles of working out throughout my sports career. I still have my grip strength homemade setup of a wooden dowl, rope, and 2 small metal pipe flanges. That will kill you

    You have that problem is WestBumFuck, MA?

    I have boschs on currently but they have been streaking since 2 months after I put them on. I think I had better luck with Trico, but I may try Michelin next.

    I have tried all of them, Rain X, Michelin, Bosch etc and honestly none of them worked very good on my truck. They all seemed to shutter a lot for some reason. Dealership replaces work great though :notsure:
    I have a set of 20" Challenger wheels and tires right here for sale

    That sucks. I'm about to switch gyms because of it. Even at like 10/11pm the place is busy.

    I tried Rain·X blades, and they fell apart after a couple months. Bosch blades were better, but streaked after a couple months. Right now I have Trico Exact Fit blades, and probably the best blades I've tried so far.

    To add to this, I also tried the Trico Onyx blades. Still better than the other two brands, but the Exact Fit blades are half the cost, and work just as well if not better.

    So generally it seems like there's been votes for every type of wiper blade. Not surprised.

    Personally, I have Rain X Latitudes on my truck now and they were great for a few months then started streaking. I think I'll price out Rain X, Bosch Icons, Trico, OEM, etc. and plan on buying them twice a year. Doesn't seem like there is a buy once, cry once option here.

    I'd like to think that if I had a second vehicle I'd do the same, but probably not. I love my truck.
