1st Gen Lunchtable Thread - General Discussion

Guess if you can knock one out pretty quickly then I can see it being that cheap.

Why don't you do most of the work like cut out the section that needs replacing?

 

I'm probably gonna see what it'll take to get my grandpas welder going

 

Grandpa says about $650

 

"Back in my day, we had to walk in the snow uphill both ways for 10 miles, and smelt our own steel just to forge together the materials for a CMC"

 

I'll have a welder though

 

Should ask @BartMaster1234 or @04Pre_Runner for advice

 

@BartMaster1234

what's the best way to keep a thick layer of dust on all unfinished projects?

Bro don't scare me

My actual sleep don't start til about midnight cause little dude won't sleep much after his 8-9pm feeding

Not until the late night feeding where he'll actually sleep after

 

I dunno it's hard to look back on the baby days and compare them to now, each was difficult in its own way lol. I think the baby stage was more difficult though for sure. The constant getting up sucks so much more overall than just having a hard time getting them to bed at ~730/8pm. Once they start sleeping through the night regularly it is glorious. Took us a few years to get there though

 

How are things going with wifey back home now too?

 

He can sleep well, but there are random times where he gets extremely fussy ~within 5 mins of feeding time~ or exactly ~an hour before feeding time~ and it's super consistent.

But it does make sleep patterns (for yourself) easier cause you know you'll have to wake up at 4am if you fed him at 1am.

 

It's great, but a challenge in itself.

I dont know if the sleep gods were watching over me cause if my mom wasn't there for that whole first week, I wouldn't have survived. At least not if I wasn't used to my fucked up sleeping days of the corps

First 4 nights (after returning home) or so she would wake up about 50 times per night, all throughout the night and wake me up. She would wake me up (intentionally and unintentionally) while half asleep and dreaming saying the exact same stuff she said when her episode started. This scared the hell out of me but I stuck through taking care of her by constantly reassuring her and holding her.

It was after that first night, when she woke up in the morning she was "normal" again. That was a huge relief cause then I considered it could just be the medication messing with her.

By the time my mom left (this last Saturday) her pattern has dramatically improved as now she maybe wakes up like 4-5 times a night just calling out to me making sure I'm there. It's true, I've been her rock (and still am) during this whole process so I'm glad I've been this strong for her to help her recover. Glad it improved because I've been on both baby duty, but also house duty, and dog duty and it's non-stop.

During the day she's slowly jumping into our normal routine where now she sometimes feeds Theo, changes him, and even feeds the dogs. She'll take walks with me when I take Theo out and I try to get her out of the house at least once a day.

That's kind of where I ended up buying us a bigger TV yesterday too cause I wanted to keep her out and expose her more so she doesn't feel trapped at home.

But all in all, she's improving and that's all I can ask for so thank you for asking

 

Noticed as our whole situation has improved, I'm not as salty anymore to stupid fucks both in and out of the forum

I've told off two different random people recently; some dude at Home Depot when I was getting some chain and I moved his cart and someone else for parking fucked up near me.

 

I was referring to your welding ability but he took it one step further

 

Man, with the shit going on these past months I'm genuinely surprised I didn't do worse

 

My welding is excellent, only rivaled by the art of Picasso and the music of Mozart.

 

I mean, excellent considering you can't weld with a violin, piano, or palette and brush
