1st Gen Lunchtable Thread - General Discussion

There are times where I miss a lot in the LT.

I'm a student now and rather than have "
more time, I have less because I'm not at a job sitting in front of a computer all day

 

Moo floof

 

29 years, 241k mi.... That's how long an 80 series alternator lasts. Mine has showed signs of being done with my bullshit today, so it's getting replaced

 

@Empty_Lord confirm?

 

Could it be just the brushes?

 

Indeed it could! In fact it likely is. I'll keep the old one to fix up as a spare

 

Burned my watch today

Least it was just the rubber trim around it.

 

Nice!

 

I always make sure my sleeve is tucked into my gloves, but god damn spatter gets everywhere



Now I get the jokes about being on fire and finishing a bead

 

YESSSS

Happened to a guy 2 stations over me recently. He smelled smoke under his hood and realized his shirt was smoking

 

Thats so good

 

Ive been watching the tracking info like a kid waiting for Christmas gifts . Your welds have looked plenty beef lately, the real test will be surviving the slugs adventures! Ill be buying bolts for it tomorrow, might attempt tapping tn or tomorrow morning



Random thought but,
Another simple part you may want to consider, maybe ditch light brackets? Most are ~75$+

 

omfg. Is this Cali?

Rooftop solar in the US is such a scam

 

Watched that shit early this morning; was busting up laughing and woke the wife up.

If I had a 1st Gen to use for mock up I sure would.

But I'm thinking I'll just start churning stuff up at home once I get set up.

It's required for new housing Jan 1, 2020.

There are few exceptions but in our case, we're far from it.

Our electric bill is supposed to be less because we're giving power, which works as a credit. Using power uses that credit, and we pay the difference.

 

Are you serious? That's far worse than I imagined. Like... idk if I should even get into it but holy shit.

Ya they like to promise the world but unless you use a tremendous amount of power during the day and drop everything off at night, it's BS.
Who's your utility? SCE?

 

You probably don't recall the ban of sales for gas equipment that goes into effect 2024?

Lawn mowers, leaf blowers, generators, etc.

I'll just leave it there, as I wish to leave politics 100% off the forum.

 

Don't get Arizonans riled up, they're a volatile bunch
