1st Gen Lunchtable Thread - General Discussion

I wish I could put my rent towards my projects instead

 

Damn

Request more pay, or go over your job duties/responsibilities and how they don't align with what you're supposed to do, or expand how certain goals will be met within "xxx" guidelines, etc

I mean, I don't know what you do or what it is exactly but not speaking up or doing something about work-related stuff is the worst thing you can do IE just putting up with it

 

Too many... really tring to have big ticket builds done by the time kids enter the picture.

 

Oof yeah you'll be totally dead in the water then huh?

 

Can confirm

 

Yeah or else you'll be stuck driving a stock GX

 

Clearly we're repeating ourselves

 

And claiming one day you'll fix a PSD F250 with the legendarily shitty 6.blow milkshake maker.

 

Im expecting to be, yeah...

Yeah this gets complicated quickly... but my job cant be done in a 40hr week unfortunately.

 

Hey now, it's too hot

Two batteries + you said repriming it?

After that, I can start to diagnose and bother you guys with my shit questions since I never worked on a diesel

 

Probably end up with an F150 rotting in the driveway too

 

Seems like this needs to be 'mapped out' to your superiors.

What I mean is - work involved, trial and error (if applicable) in timelines, etc.

I don't mean to say what you need to do is simple, doesn't seem like it is. But sitting on it and stressing is far worse than putting something together and bringing it up.

 

Things don't rot here though

 

Yeah... they know, but want the hours to go the other way lol.

Now if they offered a better performance bonus... maybe I'd complain less?

Part of the problem is me. I like building things, and beating on my project vehicles, which requires more time to fix.

 

Those pizza parties are fire though right

 

Opps didn't realize your F250 diesel project is the truck rotting in the driveway

 

You know what sucks?

It's mint as fuck, like 150k miles, and one owner. Well-maintained as it was truck-driver owned so he was all about preventative maintenance and all.

It had an EGR issue and shortly after, we lost my FIL which is how it came to my possession.

MIL said she knew he'd want me to have it.

Problem is, it sat at my MIL's house for like 3-4 months before it was mentioned to me so the batteries died and wouldn't hold a charge no matter how long I had them on trickle chargers (both smart and dumb charger types).

Was always mechanic maintained, and she ran like a top but in the end it's still a 6.0.

 

I want to drive it already but too damn hot to do anything outside so I'm waiting it out another month or two.

 

That is clean
