1st Gen Lunchtable Thread - General Discussion

I thought it was too hipster when I was there. The outdoorsy people seemed like the type that would scoff at anything that wasn't top tier brands.

 

lol, welcome to Colorado in general the last 10~ years. There's a lot of people walking around that look like they fell out of the Patagonia or Columbia catalog.

Grand junction is a weird mix of retired NIMBYs from CA and NY, college students, and blue collar workers.

 

Damn, my cousin just bought 46 acres in the Midwest

 

The real ones know that brand isn't what's holding them back

 

I miss green grass.

Obligatory midwest picture:

 

A poor craftsman blames his tools, and an even poorer craftsman has tools stolen from harbor freight.

 

Gross

There’s a reason stuffs cheap out there

 

Nothing sucks more than trying to find something you need at HF but the last set on the shelf is incomplete

 

Green grass is nice but not a deal breaker.

You getting any bike rides in in this weather?

 

ha, yes, that's true., as much as I love to bitch about how expensive it is here I'm much happier than I'd be having a big ranch all alone in BFE.

 

I got out for a few last week. The weather's been decent down here, but... I guess I'm lazy. And I decided I should use the nice days to re-roof my shed.

The four layers of asphalt shingles over 100-year-old wood shingles were having a tough time in this winter's winds.

 

Oh I could on a big ranch all alone no problem, like thousands of acres in a mountain range

 

So its Asheville NC

 

I have spent little time in NC but a quick glance at it and seeing it's known for craft beer, arts, and outdoors sounds right

 

yeah, that sounds like a good use of time before the next big wind storm... Plus a decent way to get some sun anyway

 

Happy to have it done, not happy to buy OSB at $40/sheet.

I did buy myself another bike as a consolation prize--an old Schwinn Homegrown; I'm pretty sure it's one of the Yeti-made ones, which is cool. Shitbox bikes are much cheaper than shitbox trucks.

 

Someone come do this overhead tube joint weld I have to do, I'm not ready to be showered in sparks

 

Oh those are cool bikes

I'm sure it needs work but have you ridden it yet?

 

too far but I'd give it a shot

Some of these scars are from welding overhead and rolling around on sparks lmao

 

I had no idea shitbike culture was so strong but it sure seems to be. I sold that Diamondback Topanga to a dude who was STOKED even though he told me it was gonna start a fight with his gf. I think he said they already had like 12 bikes definitely sounded like he got bit by the same bug as you
