1st Gen Lunchtable Thread - General Discussion

I powered through filling my 55 gal compost bins and some yard waste bags. Oof. Gonna take a break and see how I feel about working on the truck

A cigar day with buddies sounds mighty nice

 

Thinking I might just cover the yard in gravel and build some planter boxes. Even the weeds stopped growing lol

 

Looks like a fun time!

 

A coworker told me about this place: https://westernnativeseed.com/

It'll take some work to get stuff established, but a yard of native grass and flowers could be nice. I'm thinking of trying it in my side yard. I've left it unmowed the past few summers and have had some nice wild flowers pop up, but lots of tumbleweeds and less-pretty stuff too. I'd like to encourage more flowers and grass instead of tumbleweeds.

 

I know where I'm shipping these nipple lights now

 

Yesssssss!!!!


I actually picked up some wildflower seed from Eden Brothers(?) !!! And my friend gave me some mammoth sunflower seeds. I'm excited to plant once we're past last frost

 

Unironically I would install them. I got the whole bare lightbulb on ceiling fixture in several rooms...but the cost of shipping is probably what they sell for locally

 

It doesn't look like much right now, but I took out all of the reeds growing in the pond liner and relined a bit of it. Hoping all the creeping plants and the rose bush come back this year. But at least I can run the creek/waterfall again.

 

Easiest transaction ever.

 

I hope they take!

I did woodchip over half my back yard last summer because the weeds (especially bindweed) had completely taken over. I think the previous owner's dog preferred that side of the yard and tore up all the grass. That's where the planter boxes will go this year if I find the motivation.

It's funny how much better a plant can look after a good haircut. Roses are super resilient once they're established.

I need to trim this monstrosity back this year.

 

Lol was going to say, they'll be cheaper buying in person.

Need dimmer switches? I've got 2 minty Leviton switches I don't want/need.

I'm sure I can toss them in with that bracket I'm supposed to cut out for you

 

Lol I keep forgetting about it too, dont worry about it, came with part of a cheap seal driver kit on Amazon I think the whole kit was like $30. I can probably get just the driver from the same brand for ten bucks or so.

 

I just needed to blow it off, hungover now but in a better place

@Kwikvette thanks too dude, appreciate it. Just some dumb trips in my life. Hard to find wins

 

I’m now dry heaving into a bucket after yesterdays festivities. My hippy friend said he is gonna fix my chakras or whatever the fuck that is

 

@Tour991 Do you have a shifter turret for a R150, the pins are loose in mine and it is causing leaking.

 

I literally threw one away the other day womp.

 

I actually didn't

But one pin is loose

 

Can I bug you to pull the shifter core and see if the pins wiggle, if they don't I'll toss ya some bux to throw it in the mail.
