1st Gen Lunchtable Thread - General Discussion

I ballparked the ARB install and minor stuff like trimming the front wells and brakes to about 4hrs. The rear bumper will be the long part, I said he's looking at around 6hr for the build, more if he wants it painted and even more if he buys swingouts. It'll be cheaper installed than buying an assembled bumper uninstalled but not by a lot which is what I told him. The trim is easy at least it's a straight line from the tail light to wheel arch on those and the bumper covers it a bit so you get about 1/2" of fudge room. The sliders are fully welded he said, burning them onto the truck is easy peasy. I did mine in 2 hrs.

 

Anybody seen John 5 in person?
He's coming through in February. We have a small venue in town about 15 minutes away. Tickets are super cheap and my wife can be my transport.
Been trying to see more live music. While I don't play guitar, I do appreciate those who can really do it well.

Living Colour played over the summer. I was about five feet from Vernon Reid. That dude can still flat-out play. Wanted to see Pat Travers but had a conflict. Woulda been a real treat.

 

Living Colour would be a great show still I bet.

 

It was REALLY good. Vivid was such a goddamn paradigm-breaking album. Really talented band.

Earlier this year, at the same joint, I saw Corey Glover open for Collective Soul. It was just him and a guitarist. His vocals are still wickedly powerful. Dude is almost 60 and can absolutely belt it out.

 

Dude buys a cnc table for $8k, buys a nice plasma cutter for under $6k, yet runs it all on a 110 small air compressor and asks why he can't restart his programming when the torch cuts out due to low air pressure

 

what pressure are you running the torch at usually anyway?

 

Air pressure to the plasma cutter I run 120psi, and cutting up to 16 gauge, 60psi

14 gauge up to 3/16", 65psi

1/4", 70psi

I have my own cut chart I created but have yet to cut thicker than 1/4" simply cause I haven't had reason to

I think a 3/8" thick bottle opener should get me started for thicker stuff

 

Dude complaining about air has a freaking Hypertherm 85

 

Shit just saw this; hell yeah

 

Something to supplement the ever-mounting bills that are constantly sucking the life out of me. At least it's fun sidework, hate doing computer side work anymore

 

No shit

Speaking of computer, I can't wait til my damn T42 arrives for some old school gaming

Playing that scary game last night with Kira was fun but holy fuck I got annihilated for ringing a damn bell

 

Interesting, tell me more

 

Whole squad is sick again damnit, at least it's not the holiday just yet

 

I don't get why they say babies are expensive; Theo's 8 months and we still haven't bought a single diaper or baby wipes

 

That's why you never say no to having a baby shower


the real money comes when they get a little older, trust me


we were spoiled with Sofia cause it was 2020 and she was born right when shit hit the fan, we didn't really go anywhere or do anything for a good while. I saved quite a bit of money that year actually

 

Are you the lady that just left the kid alone for 2 weeks on some blankets?

 

That's why they have a "heavy" soil option on washing machines

 

Dude so fucking right

But if Stephanie gets a future baby shower invite, I'm definitely gonna add size 1 or 2 diapers to the gift cause all our diapers and wipes are from the baby shower

 

I'd buy a second washing machine if that's what you're doing, I've seen what a regular one that only washes mildly dirty regular loads looks like inside and that's nasty enough.

 

ever since River was born I swear we are running loads of laundry daily now. When it was just the two of us I think we did laundry maybe once a week, after Sofia it was a few times a week. Now daily sometimes multiple. I don't get how some people with kids survive without having a laundry machine in their residence
