1st Gen Lunchtable Thread - General Discussion

I would like to do it so I can visit Vancouver CA or Baja MX someday.

 

Yep, forgot to mention the appt online

The people that truly suffer are those waiting in the non-appt line but that's their own wrongdoing

 

1st week of May and you'll need it for domestic travel as well. Or a passport

 

You that eager to board a plane right now?

 

Vancouver would be cool, never been that far up north

 

I could use a vacation

 

Same, I was denied the one that was planned before all hell broke loose and now there aren't enough cigarettes and booze to make me relax enough to enjoy a trip anymore I think.

 

Ever been to Seattle? It's like Seattle except they charge the same price for a coke bottles worth of fuel that we charge for a gallon.

 

I need to explore the west coast. I've gotten some cool invitations to tag along on some guided trips out there. More than that, I need to go see my kid while he is working in the LA area and knows his way around.

 

I have been, well passing through when we went backpacking out there

I talk to a lot of people in Canada regarding CNC/steel and realize shit is expensive but I never considered fuel damn

One guy was telling me how bad the alcohol situation is; their stuff (they push it proudly with their flag and all) only has between 3-4% max so it really sucks for them out there

 

Yeah their beer situation is confusing because some are higher content but I cannot figure out the rhyme or reason. I think it is a provincial thing, cause in some places James Ready beer is 5.5 and some others it is 4.0

 

I'm just glad there's a lot of areas in CA that aren't heavily populated by stupid influencers and the sort

That is, if you ignore SVRA's and such

 

And their shelves that normally stock American are just left completely empty just to push their point against the tariffs and all

I'll have to find the pic, but three different stores with empty shelves and a sign or two about the whole situation

Everytime I'm drinking, I'll shoot him a pic of my beer

Oh and this one blew my mind - he's paying the equivalent of $240 USD for only 4' x 4' of 3/16" steel. Bandido and I pay that for a full 4' x 8'

 

Eh I don't blame em, you have to fight bullies or they don't relent. Besides Canada makes good beer, they can change their own laws about alc content if it is really an issue for them.

 

I could go for a Belgian

@eon_blue

 

@Kwikvette Did the gaskets survive the heavy metal in that box alright?

 

Yes sir



Was meaning to ask what the aluminum was for

 

shit, i am hoping to avoid planes of all sorts lol

 

The aluminum is what I was hopeful you'd cut in the shape of that middle gasket, the 5VZ intake one. It's for that fabricated intake we're making.

 

That's good there are still a few areas to roam. I have enough buddies up and down the coast to make for a great trip that is not the tourist trap locations.

The point about influencers is well taken. They have damaged some areas of the Ozarks with YouTube hype and forest road map over distribution.
Us locals go out and clean up the Busch Light, Michelob Ultra cans, and shit filled diapers that the followers throw out.
Its a strange irony that the areas that get the most litter are NOT the most scenic. I call it the arm pit of the Ozarks.

We still have a few beautiful areas that are relatively unknown to that crowd that we like to privately and carefully support. We try to help the small business in those areas by featuring them in the club.
A few have migrated in from CA and we are proud to have little country stores with food that is "off the chart" good.
