1st Gen. Lunch Table - General Discussion

@Tundra2 Looks like your neck of the woods is getting another shot of snow eh?

 

Yeah, Looks like a brief break around 2-3 am. Right back into it again until 5 am.




We've had at least 3 inches of accumulation since I got to work at 5pm.

 

Do you guys insulate water lines there in crawl spaces etc?
Really shitty situation for Texas..

 

We did at our house. I think most here do. We may not always get snow, but it routinely gets below freezing in winter times.

I've read about Texas. Yuge bummer.

 

Sequioa was clean when I got here. 7 hours ago.

 

I read Yuge in Trump's voice.

 

After shoveling snow, scraping ice, and spreading salt for four hours last night...

I hatched up a little plan for easier snow clearing.

Pallet, and a pack mule. 100 pounds of salt for weight in the front of my new plow. Lol

It took Wyatt and I about 30 minutes to do the otherside of this sidewalk. After the plowing was done, we squeegee-d the wet snow/ice off the pavement, and spread salt.

Had that walk way cleaned up in 12 minutes flat. Lol.

 

flame thrower would'a been faster. ..just sayin.

 

Fuckin tell me about it.

 

I contend that a flame thrower would not be faster.
More fun? Surely.

 

Last Friday pops had me pick up one of these from Lowe's.



It kinda sucked doing the porch last Saturday. Shovel would have been the way to go there.

At work with machines available? I'll choose easy over the flammenwerfer any day.

 

We had one of those when I was a kid. We used it primarily for controlled brush fires.
Occasionally, Dad would use it to light the bbq...

 

We call them Pear Burners down here. Mainly because we use them to burn the hairs off prickly pear fruit. Mine sees the most use as a weed control device though.

 

Recorded a little time lapse of a drive when we were in Alabama last week. I guess I figured the south would be flat but I was super surprised at the ‘San Fran esque’ up/down hills n roads there. Very beautiful area but I don’t think videos ever do elevation changes justice.
Hopefully you don’t get carsick watching this lol

 

What in the actual fuck? I had to do a Uturn and get pics

 

Looks like a mobile flea market.

 

Chandler or Mesa? That is a Tradesmen on wheels, to bad there is not a phone number on the door. I need some work done on my house.

 

Down in Tucson

 

I think I finally found my backup camera! Stumbled across this site and they have a sleek looking camera that has pretty good specs. Not sure if anyone on here has tried it yet, but I'm happy to play guinea pig.

 

that looks much better than the one I drilled a hole into my handle for. Good reviews on this one?

 

I was going to go that route and drill into mine, but this seemed a great option and cheaper than my backup camera. Only 1 review (5 stars) but the other truck options have great reviews. Plus, it has a 3 year no questions warranty.
Here's the link: Here

 

Found someone a tailgate

 

Please report back with how well it works. Last time I saw one it was without camera and no mention of what camera fit?

 

If I had money to blow I would 100 percent rock this on my truck with no shame. This is a treasure and a masterpiece.

Im interested also, so please update when you test it out! Kinda curious what it looks like on the truck also.

 

Will do @jImmegart and @empty_lord It looks like it will show up Saturday.
Sadly I'll be stuck at the house all weekend so hopefully I can get it installed.

 

$400? Where do I sign

 

Long ago, maybe circa 2005, a young and absolutely drunken Darkness was slow dancing with a cougar at a bar and softly singing that song into her ear. I would have gone home with her if her friends didn't stop me.

 

I was just entering kindergarten!

 

wait... how old are you?
