1st Gen Lunchtable Thread - General Discussion

Watched Dumb Money in the theater for $6.50 so that was pretty neat. Think I spent $22+ last time I went to Universal, but I digress.
Its about the Game Stop stock mania in early 2021, it had some pretty good actors including Seth Rogen who I thought did an excellent job.
Pretty good movie, think it was an hour and 30 or 45 mins so that was nice, I can't do these 3+ hour movies. There was some corny parts and you are forced to listen to the song WAP by lyrical genius Cardi B during the intro, I had never heard it although I had heard of it, and boy was it something. Anyways.
Overall would recommend for a cheap ticket night, but definitely wouldn't pay full price. Also discovered my truck is leaning about 1.25" to the right when I came out of the theater so that was something to think about on the ride home.

 

jus a tacoma doing Tacoma things

 

I'm looking to see that movie. That whole thing was wild how it went down. Some nerds got crazy rich overnight and I'm jealous. I'll have to mute the intro, thanks for the heads up

 

How was your first night with the new kiddo?

 

We stayed at the hospital, still here now. First 24 hrs they want you to stay so they can run tests and check on Mom/baby regularly. It went about as expected lol. First week or so they have no bearing on what daytime/nighttime is and are eating every couple hours so it's a lot of sleeping in intervals.

But yeah, sleeping on a hospital couch ain't all it's cracked up to be either. Hoping to go home today. Sofia is really struggling with just my MIL there watching her, her routine is all messed up. Had to run home a few times yesterday to help.

 

Coworker just had a kiddo too, poor guy is on that same feeding schedule so he sleeps like 45min to 1.5hrs at a time he said. Hopefully you guys don't have to stay at the hospital another night, it's no fun. I'm sure Sophia is eager to meet her baby brother now.

 

Need to take a pic of that chair/couch!

That's one thing hospitals just don't give AF about most times

 

I ended up using the recliner in Rebeccas room... there was a couch in the other room they gave us but i spent the night in Rebeccas on this lovely piece of furniture (it leans back)



It wasn't half bad, what little sleep I did get was actually pretty restful...but I really needed it after yesterday lol.

 

Congrats on your little one! Always such a blessing.

 

Old relic of a 4runner doesn't have car seat anchors in the rear seats for a car seat's buckle straps like more modern vehicles do, relies on the seat belt only which sucks at keeping them secure without movement.

Picked up some bed tie downs and bolted them into the factory seat belt mounts, works perfect

 

Safety third, I like it

 

Still using the seat belt too, But the saw the bolts for the seat belt base and figured a tie down could be added pretty easily for the seat straps, made sure the tie downs were rated for a decent load lol.

 

Seatbelt should be plenty sturdy; base was strapped down like a MFer in the Land Cruiser as it too only used the seatbelt.

 

I might fold over the unused tab so both holes are in line rather than leave it floating just in case you panic stop or get in a wreck, that free side could pull up and release the ring letting the seat go.

 

@eon_blue

They sell LATCH systems that "anchor" to the backside of the seat and pull through towards the front that you can attach the base to.

 

good parent

 

If you or a loved one has been diagnosed with mesothelioma....

 

Ok that's 1,000 times worse easily

 

Wow that's exactly what I was looking for and couldn't see anything like it for the older systems, awesome will definitely be getting that.

The 4r seat belts are pretty clapped, when you pull them out and lock in place they are not as taught as the ones in the Rav or even the Tacoma. Should probably just replace them entirely
