1st Gen Lunchtable Thread - General Discussion

hows steph been doing lately?

 

Work's been a lil crazier than usual - parents can be the dumbest MF'ers but also her own co-workers sometimes

Just cause a child acts up doesn't automatically mean they're SPED, so she's done several IEP's and found maybe the last 2 kids tested to not need her services

I get that we're in a time where we try to recognize/acknowledge and accommodate those on the spectrum, but there is such a thing as a kid just being disobedient AF

Otherwise she good thank you for asking

 

My genius knows no bounds

 

99% positive Haven had the flu last weekend with the rest of us, constant Tylenol and ibuprofen cycle (to the dosage recommendations) w/ water and whatever we could get her to eat. Was a miserable time for all of us, that we're still getting over.

I never got tested but Kylie ended up with influenza a or some shit.

 

Honestly that looks like it could be better than the bottle jack.

Just be careful to not tweak the arms. I don't know if anyone's ever actually had that happen, but I threw a ratchet strap around them to be extra safe.

 

i can confirm that if theres enough rust the arm will bend before the bushing comes loose lol

 

My genius may in fact have bounds
Instead of the pressure going to the opposite bushing like a bottle jack, the trolley jack is pressing just on the arm at a single point from through jacks axle bolt. Wasn’t brave enough to keep jacking once it got real tight

 

They don't come out easy. It's been a few years since I did mine, but I think heat helped.

 

Use the factory bottle jack with an appropriately sized socket on each bushing. With heat, one of the bushings will pop out

 

My factory bottle jack doesn’t work unfortunately
I threw the torch on for a while as well, think it just needs more pressure than I’d like to use with how it sits on that jack

 

I know I didn't have luck with the factory bottle jack. Maybe I just wasn't brave enough, but turning that screw felt like something was going to slip in a bad way. I used a hydraulic bottle jack.

 

Sounds like a great time to buy one of these: https://www.lowes.com/pd/Torin-Torin-6T-Welded-Bottle-Jack-w-CS/1002867452

 

Looking at cars for under 7k. My wife doesn't care what she gets as long as it gets 30mpg and has a little bit of room

 

She likes this

There's this one that she likes too.

 

yeah it’s fun for the whole family lol

honestly I hadn’t realized until recently that you could give them Tylenol and Ibuprofen simultaneously and that was a game changer especially at night.
It’s the stuffy nose and cough that sucks the most though, nothing they can really do to ease it except let it run its course for several days. Makes nights rough

 

Sucks a lot when they can't tell you what they're feeling

are you fevering?
Chilled?
Can't breathe good?
Gotta poo?
Oh you just want some spaghettios, okay

 

I secret enjoy spaghettios like once every 3 years

 

Check out this floor plan. Ignore the asking price.

Imagine putting in a tandem garage door, and turning the "family room" into workshop space... not bad for someone who doesn't need a lot of living space.
