1st Gen Lunchtable Thread - General Discussion

Ah side business you really have to make time for and find a target audience.

It's like I tell people on the group (think I mentioned it here), the table should be a tool for yourself first and foremost. Anything more is just the cherry on top.

Why not work on finishing one of those projects right now?

 

I'll post the pics here; just messaged him

 

I am in an office in a meeting that should probably occupy more of my attention lol.

definitely the table has paid for itself already vs even send cut send

 

I got a fabrication square cut locally on laser, and I cut the same set on my table.

Plasma has its place and definitely takes care of a lot of shit, but man laser is so nice.

 

If you weren't so damn far away I'd have you cut my skid plates out. But after shipping it's pretty much the same cost to have CDA Metals laser it here in Spokane.

 

Got back from a wheeling trip earlier than planned... then spent a ton of money on stuff that is required to keep living and working today... So I bought a ticket to a Spokane Chiefs game too since at least one good thing should happen today.

 

Self care

 

I'm stoked to pick up my welding table top in the next day or two; that's my gift to me

 

@Wulf

How's it been with all this time off?

 

Holy fucking $10k repair quote for timing cover leak, and upper and lower ball joints

 

Sofia - "Daddy I wiped my own poop at school today!"

'Oh that's great!' (uh oh)

*checks her panties*

 

it doesn't even feel like I'm off work

I'm pretty deep in the burnout so just keeping up with chores and job applications is taking all I got.

I don't know that I'll ever be able to function at the level I did a year ago or before so I am debating living in the shop and renting out the entire house so that I could just get by doing odd jobs or something part time lol

 

that is big no funs

 

There is a huge difference between what a toddler thinks is clean enough and what the rest of us do lol

 

Damn

Just hope you can take this time to keep things negative out of your life; you've shared enough about your dad being such a bad influence

Maybe just ensuring he, and anyone else that's negatively impacting your life stays out of it

I can hide a body

 

Did I tell you guys my son is working this week in Washington State?

 

I've gotten into a lot of rust removal and treatment this year. Its just one of those things that takes a lot of time and specialized equipment. I see people doing frame off restorations on 40-55 series. If I only had a big shop to work in I could get into it.

 

I was surprised you guys were back so soon. Any reason?

Yeah that's pretty wild. Insane labor rates? Some were saying it's an engine out repair like the old Audi V8? Crazy when you can do the timing belt job in a first gen yet there's not enough room in the much larger third gen. Not to mention that the motors leak there in the first place...

 

I'm taking the Taco to TX on Oct 28th for the 4Runner show.
