1st Gen Lunchtable Thread - General Discussion

It would be great if I had a set for referance

 

Remember when I spent a month trying to find the right spindle lock nut and washers in BFE?

 

I can't believe I had this many the whole time. Since the garage is torn apart I am organizing shit into tubs and found all of this shit. I'm on to my second 17 gallon tub of tacoma parts so far.

 

Apparently my dad has cancer now if his Twitter is to be believed

 

Well that might suck

 

Well, things have never been good if me finding out via Twitter wasn't an indicator

 

I've come to accept that they aren't going to get better than they are now. But maybe less time than I expected

 

Yeah I figured as much. Relationships are hard and fuck cancer.

 

After talking to my sister it seems like he'll be alright for a while more at least. He had some cancerous mole removed but nothing too serious atm.

 

Oh thats good news, especially if they got it early.

 

I went nuts when I was unemployed and bought probably 15 or 20 of these things:

And I thank myself every time I go looking for something. Need a battery? Batteries box. Small USB device? Small USB device box.

Organization is wonderful.

 

Yes! I have about 8 of em for electrical connectors, taco hardware, air fittings, fasteners, etc

Now I'm filling bigger 17 gal tubs to go on my new shelves. Labeling, even, so i have a guestimate of which is which

 

None of us were there

 

My parents subscribed to the hoarder system of just piling shit up everywhere. I am guilty of it sometimes still. But I have worked hard to learn how to keep my tools organized. Important documents? Organized by year in file. Even when I'm slipping and piling stuff up it's usually very specifically done to stay somewhat organized.

I think it will take my entire life to be as organized as id like but I'm on my way

 

Heh my mom is a mix. Some things are organized, but all of her notes are just random slips of paper on stacks. Drives me bonkers. After I had to help her reset her bank password twice in a week I had to sign her up for a password manager. I think she might actually use it

Organization is definitely a struggle tho. Getting started on a weekend is pretty easy. Maintaining it is a bitch. I scan what I care about and shred most of the rest, keeping a smallish box for the things I shouldn't shred (like titles...). So far, so good.

 

@Running Board Man any use for LS400 air intake cover or power seat knob?

 

I'm 2 and 0 with her and winning this one

 

You're just lucky none of us have her number. Spies!

 

Or do we....?
