Dayamn!

 

White Truffle and Caviar dinner reservation starting at $1,200 per person, holy shit lol

 

Again, a $1200 dump. Hopefully youve got some gold leaf TP for it.

I would never spend more than $100 per person on food. Even that is a stretch.

 

I've never had caviar but it sounds disgusting, let alone paying thousands for it...rich people are weird

 

Man I could name off a dozen restaurants that would make me a very happy camper for less than $30.

I just dont get the point of fine dining. That $1200 would pay for a nice vacation instead of a few hours dining with rich people.

 

There's being comfortable or well-off, then there's a level of wealth I think of as having 'fuck you' money.... that's the kind of crowd places like that draw I bet.

Also known as the 'I'm going to fly into space for 2 minutes in a giant dick shaped rocket ship because I can' kind of money.

 

And barto apparently

 

Too much

 

Thankfully I didn’t pay for it, I was just very fortunate to have been along for the ride.

 

How was the caviar

 

Don’t think we had Caviar that time, there’s a buffet at the Ritz Carlton in Half Moon Bay I’ve been a few times. Not that memorable tbh, it’s like condensed sushi Nigiri. Similar to Uni, or sea urchin.

A co-worker had a wedding reception there a few years ago. @BartMaster1234 @Blue92

I just heard about it on a conference call. I know they had relatives fly in from all over the country.

Somebody's daddy got to pay the bill.

 

Man, comfy as heck.

Glad the school allows us to wear whatever we want/need so I got this to try...

FUCKING MINT -



Too warm to wear a thicker welder's long sleeve, but with winter coming soon, this will be perfect.

 

Rusto or Por15 for some surface rust?

 

Cheap FR’s

 

And then there's "buying a Tacoma in 2021" money.

 

How bad, and where at?

I'm about to do POR-15 on my axle. From my research, it sounds like it'll hold up better to physical abuse (rocks and whatnot) that would cause spray paint to scratch and chip. Spendy and prep-intensive, though, and unforgiving of sloppy application.

If I were cleaning up a smaller/simpler/less exposed part, I'd probably do Rustoleum. Grind all the rust off, spray it, and touch it up as needed.

I am also curious to see what the more experienced fabricators here think, though...

 

I Rustoleum'd my frame/axle about 4 years ago. Still looks great.
