1st Gen Lunchtable Thread - General Discussion

Speaking of dumping stuff l, I had no idea Oregon was this bad.

Portland is really bad

 

Exactly. I mean on paper it seems slow but in reality to get divorced prep and sell a house and cut ties in right at 3 months is pretty damn efficient.

Built a table, she built some terrible "built in" shelves while I was away in the fall, I lay for them to get removed in order to sell the house lol

Not going to do a garage sale when it's 20 degrees out and the house is 15 miles from where I live. Foooook that.

 

I had a storage unit in two different states for a while there.

Doing that last bit of editing (to the dumpster), relocating the good stuff to the new house, and shutting down the rentals for both units felt really nice.

@m3bassman , among the things that went straight to the trash were all of my ex’s med school notes. Felt great giving zero fucks about chucking that and a bunch of other shit she left behind and being truly DONE with her.

 

It is a great feeling, one of the best. The sense of freedom and peace is one a lot don't understand.

 

I think I finally hit my ceiling today with blower motor noise, gotta fix it this weekend.
I've tried to be zen about it. Lasted about 6 months though, not bad.

Combination of zen and lazy**

 

I can tell I'm not listening to stuff loud enough when I can hear the blower motor in the taco over everything else. Usually happens at low speed because tires do a good job covering it up on the highway

 

I'm a weirdo and I like driving a lot with no music. My tires are getting louder and louder as they age, and the blower sounds like baby birds waiting for worms. Seat belt hinge squeaking, ashtray rattles open because I keep change in it. Its a fuckin orchestra in there.

 

*Think I might finally put sound deadening in this spring.

 

Speaking of tires, any standout recs for a new AT? Was going to go ST Maxx. They're running higher than everyone else, figured I'd ask. Never tried Falken or Toyo but heard good things. Never tried Firestone either, their Destination XT is lighter than the rest I've seen, kinda interesting.

 

as far as ATs go I bought a new set of KO2s for the tacoma

 

Oh yeah?

 

I too enjoy a variety of fine Swiss cheeses

 

I see you don't know shit about welding

 

They're a contender. Usually I don't complain, but the Cooper is $283, everyone is closer to $200-215.

 

Got to play with this cool $300k broadcast camera the other day shooting Rugby.

What others are in your sights?

 

Imagine using a $300,000 camera to shoot a game no one will ever watch

 

Falken Wildpeak
Toyo AT3
Don't know much about Hankook but their Dynapro AT2 maybe
Never trid the Grabbers...
Outlier would be the Firestone Destination XT
