1st Gen. Lunch Table - General Discussion

felt your past pain !

Sending all the mojo I can in hopes it helps you keep that attitude.

 

Finally have the tundra, turns out wasn’t a trans issues, lost the cam shaft position sensor, battery wasn’t holding a charge and found another coolant leak while she was down.

and now the shit box sequoia has decided to pitch a fit and set the immobilizer on top of possible overheating. Have tried every trick I can think of to reset that security system and no dice. Hell I’ve even cleared it with code reader. both of these trucks are really testing my patience as of lately

 

Man, I clicked on the what have you done page, and thus was the first that popped up:



Nov 28th. It's been since Thanksgiving that I've been on. Man. I'm sorry I haven't been on in that long. I don't know why I'm apologizing, but after seeing a few tags, it is good to know I am worried about, maybe even cared for around here. I dunno, self reflection is a bitch. Ehh, either way, it's good to see you guys again. Except PHM, he's a jerk.

 

If it makes you feel any better... Most degreed engineers I've worked with can't "engineer" as well as I can. Granted I'm talking metal fabrication and design and not structural analysis. Some of them are pretty good, if a bit unable to deal with rational application of ideas.

 

Well, the problem is I have no problem with math. I have a problem with online. I know damn well and good I'd br the engineer you'd love to meet, and maybe invite to dinner.

 

Oh, and don't forget, I do have a master electrician license. For whatever good that is...

 

This was my problem. I will always be a field flunkie and I'm just fine with that.

 

OK ladies and gents. I mist off to bed. I'm making my first out of town trek on my motorcycle tomorrow and I plan on leaving at 10am. It's currently 1am and I am drunk as fuck.

 

You know what sucks about being old? Not being able to sleep in. I was shitty and went to bed at 1, and woke up at 7. WHY????

 

Wait till you get real old, made it till 10 but felt I needed to get up at 4 to wait on McGregor order coming late this evening

 

That’s just the restlessness of your unconscious inner self waiting in anticipation. One of the reasons we all wake up 5 minutes before the alarm clock goes off.

 

What size Ninja did you go with?

 

A lot of good I'd say. Sparkies are pretty important and in demand, from what I've seen.

 

If I sleep more than 6 hours my back is super stiff. Probably my bed, but it helps me from sleeping in too much. Also 6 hours is awesome when you average 4-5.

 

My dude!!!! Good to see you back, I was wondering where you'd toddled off to. Sorry to hear school didn't work out, but look on the bright side. Nobody likes engineers anyways. Ask any tradesman.

We kept your 3rd gen getter outer spot warm for you. It just didn't feel right to appoint anyone else.

 

It's a 16 650 abs.

 

I hope you don't need the ABS, but if you interact with it - I'd really like to hear any opinions on ABS on a motorcycle.

I keep waffling back & forth on the benefit/detriments.
Locking up the wheels kept me from being a door ornament on an Oldsmobile, but ABS would'a kept me from tapping that truck in a drizzle.....

 

I only activated once so far, on my rear brake. I waited too late to stop at a red late and got on the rear a little too hard.

 

Fuck it, it's time to ride. If I freeze to death I nominate @FirstGenVol to be the new 3rd gen getter outer.

 

Holy crap I'm cold. And nothing like an impromptu battery change to liven up your ride!

 

The pollen is horrible this week.

 

I don’t have an Uncle Ned, but my Uncle Jed is wondering about this:

 

I miss my sport bike, 98 Yellow and Black GSX-R 600. Bought it brand new in college. That back tire getting a little slick? or is it just the picture? Glad to see you back, the third gens were definitely trying to take advantage of your absence.

 

Anyone ever read what the mask box says?

 

wonder why Hawkeye and Hot Lips wore em all the time.

 

So they don't sneeze in an open wound...
