1st Gen. Lunch Table - General Discussion

Some type of Raptor Claw. Chief Soars with Eagles has sad right now.

 

That’s a raptor claw, owl or hawk

 

We have two wieners. It's on top of a box suspended 5 feet from the ceiling 30 feet in the air...

No clue as to how it got there. Been there for long times.

 

When I was a young buck, life guarding was my game, life saving was my duty. We had a power pole across from one of the guard stands, I came back from vacation and there was a pigeon upside down, dead, with its feet melted across two hot lines. It stayed there all summer. A different summer we also found a “injured” pigeon near a trash can on deck, that looked like it lost all of its fluids or something? Later on, I shit you not, we found a peach pit right where the bird was with all kinds of bird juices on it.......

 

Did you ever save anyone from Drowning?

I’m a Lifetime Double Ace at least. Saved three people back to back one time when the beach guards couldn’t get to them. The first one was on her third and probably final sinking when I got her. Brought her onto the beach and being winded she barely could tell me two others were out there. The Sea was rough and hard to spot them.

Had another time where some goons got blown out into the Ocean on a raft. About 300 yards out the thing started deflating and the 4 panicked. Two could swim, but the other two were flailing and their friends didn’t know what to do. Made it out with a board so they could rest on it. The other two swam to shore saving themselves.

I was not a Lifeguard ever, but just happened to be in the right place at the right time.

Only time I nearly drowned real good was in a huge pool as a kid and a Guard got me fast. Had a couple other times in Large Surf where my life flashed before the eyes, but ended up saving myself.

 

Damn, world peace points double up!
I don’t think I ever had anything spectacular like that happen, only a few self drownings myself; once when my lil cousin jumped on me in the pool and once in Mexico with a crazy rip tide. I’m a good swimmer and I was dead by time I made it back to shore, in the mean time our friend that wasn’t a good swimmer decided to try to help us, maybe that was you on the beach that day, but some guy swam out and helped him in!
I did teach kids how to swim, so I’d like to think I helped save some lives! I also did BSA life guarding, but that was more of a joke than city life guarding.
One of my pools was in the hood, every Tuesday opening from the closed weekend, we would find sandals and beer caps everywhere!

 

Finally driving my red corolla around. Things fucking nice. I almost want to keep it and sell the blue one.



but insurance is 20 bucks more a month just because it has an “s” badge. Looks like I’ll just convert mine to an S slowly

 

Gotcha.. just doesn't make sense why it does it only after a drive and a restart after the engine sits for 20 or so minutes. Normal cold starts it does fine. Truck runs great it's just has always had weird intermittent idle problems. I'll check into the injectors too as @empty_lord said

 

cold starts usually with a leaking injector are fine because the leaked fuel has evaporated. hot soak misfires from a leaking injector happen because the fuel has effectively flooded its cylinder

 

Is that all you got? We got maybe half an inch here.

 

Yeah. Mexico has some serious Rip Tides on the Pacific Side. Also, the long period swell down there deceives swimmers because the Ocean will go flat for a long interval and the think they are safe and jump in. All of the the sudden, a long set comes in and they get pummeled/tired as the Rip from piled up waves sucks them out.

 

Speaking of the power of the water. Don't do this. Coast Guard for the win!

"Driver of this Toyota" - proceeds to show a Nissan.

 

Water + engine = expensive bill from the feds

 

Guy had plenty of focus trying get to the end of the Jetty.

Sometimes you gotta realize the Ocean ALWAYS wins!

Nice job by the CG.

 

and jetty damage.
you know how the surf sucks the sand out from under your feet? Same seems to be happening with that truck. Each time he moved after hit by surf, the truck seemed to be bouncing out of pot holes. I'm sure if not washed away, the truck ended up in a hole on the Jetty.

 

That look the driver had at the very end when he leaned against the truck.

 

Here's some of my experiences with water - being stranded on high ground in a flash flood with nowhere to go will make you view water much differently.

Lol I think we have almost 2ft on the ground here

 

When I'm inside on a day off we don't have any snow here.
Then it's Monday & I have to shovel my way out again. :-(

 

-3 degrees today, this is the type of weather try not to start my truck in, but today I might start her up and go for a Sunday drive. The engine can handle it, just a few seconds of pistol noise

 

Some youtube videos go into dangerous territory for views, its alarming.

This guy pressed his luck

And pressed too far here



And then there's this guy

 

Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.
Darwin was correct

 

Can anyone confirm the Outlet side is HOT OIL and the Inlet side is COOL OIL coming from Cooler back into Transmission.

 

Derale Transmission Fluid Control Thermostat Project has commenced. Gonna be a tight fit putting it in. Key part is the 90° NPT 3/8 to 3/8 barb.

Need prayers to the Plumb Crack Gods that the 90° Threads tighten in the direction it needs to point.
