1st Gen Lunchtable Thread - General Discussion

He did everything he could to skip breakfast just to come outside

 

Pediatrician told us that River is borderline underweight which is hard to believe because the kid eats constantly. I think it's because he never stops moving and his growth spurt makes him look like Gumby. It's funny because Sofia was the exact opposite. Well she's tall too, but she always had rolls like the Michelin Tire Man.

 

I miss old school super soakers

I never owned the big guns, like the backpack or anything but I had this exact one and I loved it

 

they don't make them like they used to

Dude who invented those had a cool story if I remember right.

Dude worked for JPL even

 

Interesting

Maybe underweight in relation to his height? But still hard to imagine cause he's a big boy

Just like Theo, they won't stop eating

Was telling James how Theo kept taking food from River's hand and vice versa

 

I looooved the ones like that which you could screw a water bottle onto it. Had one where the screw part was facing backwards compared to that picture, and I'd put a 2L bottle on it. That was the shit

 

Ooooh shit I remember seeing a shorter version of that story

That's cool AF

Can't believe he developed the N Strike line of guns too; we got several and they're too strong to use on the kiddo

 

Bro..

 

Yeah they were threaded for bottles even!

You can find NOS on Ebay for like $400

Even the "for parts" variants sell for $50+

 

They need to find out who conceptualized that ad because that person needs to be on a watch list lol

 

so anyway, that's how I inherited Grandpa's boat

It's got rubber infill already

might need to go more though I guess

 

Took 10 minutes but finally found the one I had

This thing was just begging for a big ass bottle on the back, and I of course obliged
Had to rest the 2L on my shoulder to keep it from bending/cracking at the neck

I was a menace with that thing

Only $10.. might have to snag lol

 

I just found a vintage 30 for $32 total; ordered

 

Oh no way, kids are gonna hate that

I remember we had turf in high school and whenever we did warm ups, sprints, etc that shit would kick up in your eyes even

Hated it

Artificial grass normally uses sand mixed with organic material

The infill not only keeps the grass weighed down, but helps to decompose with shit that naturally occurs from being outdoors

You replace the infill as needed (but not very often at all really)

 

We will see

 

Anything's better than dirt for sure, unless you're out there running dirt bikes with the kids

 

That's what the back half of the alot is for

 

Well they sold it all already so that sucks

but they're doing another field with no infill in a couple weeks so we might grab some of that.
More expensive and farther away though
