1st Gen Lunchtable Thread - General Discussion

The one I have is just like the one you pictured. The 80's models had mechanical gauges but the 90's had digital. Some had a combination of both.

 

Guess I have to go find a Montero so I can harvest the ambient temperature sensors. Don't know if I should bother since it's programmed in Celsius.

I already have ambient temperature on my Gentex mirror. Where is it going on your 4Runner?

Is your artificial horizon still functioning correctly? They all tend to leak oil till they don't work anymore. Mine is bone dry, have to go find some Glycerin to fill it with.

 

Hmm this sucks @Area51Runner

 

Ugh aren't you around clear lake or were you there just for the weekend

 

No i was suppose to go but that fire is 15 miles from where i would be the 2nd fire(lower) is near my uncles house and they had to evacuate

 

Oh shit well I hope his place doesn't get burned down

Fire is like 3 miles from where he lives

 

How long has this been going for? We don't get this kind of news on tv unless it involves gunshots

 

There is 16 fires and the carr fire is one of the biggest in the history of the state 100k acres and only 23% contained that was 10 hours ago. That be Redding

 

Not sure but map updated and the evacuation zone its where I would of been

 

The firefighters need some bigger planes. Though wind and other previous weather conditions apply but man

 

There is 17 large fires rn this is the mendacibo complex which is smalled comppared to the carr one thats going on not that far away so everywhere is under maned

 

Good thing you didn't go then I guess. That sucks. Maybe I should get some of the fat guys together and do cannon balls in lakes might help out some

 

Tbh I didn’t go because my gf was tripping out last night about it. But if didn’t look as bad last night. Now its bad

 

Don't let her use that against you from going outside

 

Idk if i wanna go outside rn. Yesterday skys were clear now they are grey. I mean the fire is only 100 miles away so alot of smoke is getting moved around

 

Yea I bet.

 

Yeap dont even wanna let my dog out so now he mad and sleeping at the door

 

Yeah i rented a mini skid steer to remove lots of dirt, but I woulda spent more money and carried dirt around the entire yard.

Hope it doesnt get too close man!

the carr fire is creating its own weather systems, pretty gnarly. same thing happened when san diego burnt up. Fire tornados were jumping 8 lane highways. Bigger planes isnt the problem. Its overgrowth to all of californias forests that havent been logged in years. So poor forest managment has enabled a very thick canopy that renders the planes useless. If the fire retardent cant reach the ground, it cant be stopped. So they let it burn and try and clear where they think the fire may go.
