1st Gen Lunchtable Thread - General Discussion

Sketchy drive into work this morning. No one else showed up. I did some warranty claims with Apple and then my boss called and said go home lol.

 

Lucky! I drove my truck into work (first time in a long time driving for than 5 feet) to avoid moving and unhitching the cruiser from my trailer. I have to move a mill and lathe later today, really hoping my second covid shot doesn't kick in and make me feel run down until Saturday.

 

I think I’ve developed a stye

 

Eewwwww

 

That’s how my eye feels

 

Driving to San Diego for the weekend, leaving in a couple hours. The 4Runner will be hitting the 300k mile mark on the trip. I'll need to remember to pull over to take a pic of the odo.

 

I get em as an allergic reaction randomly sometimes. Don't bother it and they go away in a few hours usually.

 

Ah I keep hearing how the 2nd shot is making some people feel terrible for a day or two. No clue when I’ll get the shots. I’ll be one of the last groups to qualify.

 

Yeah, once you have some anti-bodies built up from the first it's a good sign that all is working as it should if the second shot gets a strong immune response. Downside is, then you get a strong immune response over a three day weekend haha. But I'll load up on liquids and get over it. I've got Minecraft, a couch, and a couple days to be lazy.

 

I've heard anywhere from 4 hours to a day from the 2nd shot. Not that I have any personal experience yet. I'm still waiting to basically hear anything about getting shots here in Tucson.

 

It started hurting yesterday, I just though it was my contact irritating my eye for some reason. Now my eye lids all swelled up and there’s a little, white bump under it that’s super tender.

Interweb says to run it with something warm a few time a day, see how it goes.

 

A coworker had one for a few months he couldn't get to go away. Did a teledoc visit, got antibiotic eyedrops and it was gone in a week.

 

Get slugged in the eye?

 

Wouldn't surprise me.

 

I’m thinking a day or two and that’s where I’m headed

 

Felt frisky and bought some new front shocks for the BMW, just some Bilstien B4s and a new coolant sensor since I keep breaking those. I swear, I'm just gonna code the stupid thing out if this one breaks and I can check the coolant manually.

 

Coolant sensor? How do you manage to break that? Is it for the coolant level?

 

It just checks the level in the expansion tank, it's a no contact sensor. The float inside the tank has a neodymium magnet and this thing is literally just a reed switch that goes closed circuit when the magnet is near it to signal low coolant. I dunno how it fails, this is the third one the car has had, I said fuck it. I'm gonna throw an aftermarket one in instead of OEM. It literally doesn't even sit in the coolant I don't know how it manages to go bad.

 

Interesting. I can see it being in a luxury car but it also sounds kind of gimmickey, especially if it tends to fail a lot like yours has.

 

This talk about vaccine, they're offering it to veterans.

Not sure I even want it though.

I don't even get the flu shot; just never get sick not even the flu.
