1st Gen Lunchtable Thread - General Discussion

Finally finished a project today! Rebuilt rear shock and carb and New plastic kit and tires. May need to re jet the carb do to altitude.

 

Thats the Joule hotel, it was across the way from an apartment I lived in. Very cool hotel on the inside, worth checking out if you're in the area.

also, across the street from it:

I talked to the insurance company directly and they're saying that it will be the OEM glass. The dealerships around here aren't all the best .

Safelite work order they sent after shows the Carlex OEM P/N as well

 

Haha, it's not like Ryan lives in South Central or the high desert were the meth clouds the air.

 

So that's what happened to that. I saw it when it was in Chicago.

Weird public art makes me happy.

The company fabricated that is in Sparta, WI: https://www.fastfiberglass.com
They have a graveyard of fiberglass statues and molds: https://www.atlasobscura.com/places/fast-fiberglass-mold-graveyard

 

Sparta is also the home of Butterfest: http://www.spartabutterfest.com

 

the staircase toaster really seals the deal

 

Come for the staircase toaster, stay for the wood paneled shower.

 

Seriously that can't be good long term, lol. Hope the wood is sealed well at least.

 

Home for lunch, went to grab a cherry coke and almost instinctively went for a beer

 

Cherry coke is a great choice as long as there is a shot or two of Jack in it.

 

I like my Rum with Coke.

 

Dallas has some cool stuff. We had a Henry Moore bronze sculpture at the intersection of 5th and Main for years when I worked downtown. The City moved it when they reopened Main St for vehicle traffic.

I think it's being moved to the Arts Center.

 

Yeah its not a bad place at all. I really liked walking around downtown, and then up north through the park and across the freeway. Walkable cities are the best.

 

I remember growing up that Dallas was like the nearest big town. So everybody went there to party, shop, or just get away for the weekend. There was some Southwest weekend flight packages for either $35 or $49 into Love Field. I almost moved there and went to work for EDS back in the day.

They liked to hire kids fresh out of school and lock them up on the computer room! Oh the stories.

you work at the wrong place if lunch beers are not allowed

 

That was my first liquor combo before high-school
