1st Gen Lunchtable Thread - General Discussion

Makes sense, we had so many years of bad drought leading up to last year when it finally rained/snowed a bunch...so as a result we have a ton of dead trees from the drought and a ton of fresh growth that then dies off in the summer from the heat. Come fire season in Sept/Oct when the humidity is near 0% and the winds pick up to almost 80mph on some occasions, all that stuff is practically begging to be burned

 

Lets all become volunteer park rangers and cut down trees lol

 

FTFY

I can see it now, we're all out cutting down dead trees and Miguel is over there cutting down a giant 400 year old Sequoia or Redwood lol. Or trying to I should say...would probably take a month to do that by hand.

 

Then volunteer environmentalists will protest, shut it down, and outlaw it.

 

By strapping themselves to dead trees

 

So the turnaround time for my Kings is going to be about 4 or 5 days....don't think I can have my truck on jack stands for that long so I'm going to try and put the 5100s/881s back on and hope I don't rub like crazy on the street for a few days. I don't think they were that different than the ride height I have my Kings at but I don't really remember...plus I had 31s back then. Guess we'll see

 

I run tall skinnies in stock shit with a 1” spacer, you can make em fit

 

My turn around would be like 1 day; send me your Kings and I'll send you Fox painted emblems on stock shocks

 

why do I feel like I'm being bamboozled

 

Door handle replaced; super easy and I was able to replace 3 of those door panel tabs that had broken from when I replaced my speakers.

 

one reason i heard is POLITICS and Environmentalists

the power company needed stuff cleared around some poles and that wherever and the environmentalists stepped into block
just what i heard on some news channel via 3rd party so i cannot stand my ground without further DD

 

Oh and finally getting a new damn phone today.

Just between the S10 and Note 10; the S10 is a bit more appealing due to it being a bit smaller. I hate getting new phones...

 

wut...environmentalists haven't had anything to do with it as far as I know, and these fires/power company responsibility has been the only thing on the news around here for weeks now.

The primary reason is the old, outdated and desperately in-need-of-repair power equipment throughout the state that PG&E and Edison have neglected for so long because they figured it to be cheaper to replace things as needed, rather than doing it preventatively. Now they are realizing that was a huge mistake after last year's fires when they got sued into oblivion (PG&E did anyway). So they are finally going to start replacing things but expect it will take up to a decade to do so, in the meantime we have power outages to look forward to every year come fire season until it's done.

 

i got to feel behind a TX taco frame today that has only been here a couple years, DC cab 2oo3 year (i think)
oh it was so nice and smoothly to the touch

 

just what i heard is all, i don't have any clue about it
poor forest management cleaning the dead stuff up
environmentalists not wanting forest disturbed,etc

the existing equipment needed room free of dead stuff in a certain radius and it was a no-go

 

I think I know what you're referring to now, from earlier this year...but we should probably leave it there since I don't see any way of talking about that in particular without it getting political lol.

 

what'd you end up going with for the handle?

 

no forests here, just endless prairies that have not seen a drought in ages

 

gonna need about $2 thousand dollars to buy a portable lift for the driveway

gotta look into some recommendations...
