1st Gen. Lunch Table - General Discussion

We're currently passing through your state on our way back from OH. The rust belt is no joke. I only saw 1 first gen Tundra the entire time I was in OH and it was rusted out. I see 3-4 first gens every week in TN.

 

My mom was a home economics teacher for like 30 years, all my repairs and hems go to her!
She also makes super cute shorts for the boys(same pattern used when I was little) and now she’s been making matching pairs for papa!

 

I was in a few different towns perusing local auto lots. I saw three access cabs for sale under 10K. All rustier than mine though.

Guess I'm fortunate...

 

There’s tons of first gens out here. But a lot are hiding frame rot

 

The neighbors house sold.

 

Hope your new neighbors aren't a$$holes.

 

Did it break too short to make a joint and add a pigtail?

 

Soft hands.

 

That's a surger. My mom has one. There are a bunch of 1970s sewing machines out there that would sew just about any material you can throw at it including leather.

Japanese made. $38 and the last sewing machine I will ever need. You have to go sweet talk the local old ladies in the local sewing store for that price.

 

That's sweet! Did they throw in a butterscotch candy too?

 

I need a favor please. Can someone check how many turns it takes to go from center/straight wheels to full left and right?

It’s about 3 full rotations for each side but One side should have about half a turn more than the other... at least that’s how the “new” steering column I’m installing is...

thank you!!

 

I’ve got a 1950s Vintage Singer 15-91 with direct drive (no belts) that will sew through almost anything less than 1/4” thick. Picked it up in excellent condition with the integrated table/seat for $75 on Craigslist.

Plan to use it for tailoring a leather jacket and denim jeans.

 

Nope but they gave me a bottle of oil. They get these nice machines in several times a year. They get traded in on some computerized nonsense.

 

This is the 2nd kid I've seen suck water into his engine doing this sort of shenanigans..

 

Doesn’t seem too deep. The intake is almost a foot higher than the water level...

I better be careful in the future lol. I’ve been in water than deep a few times

 

I don't think it was the depth but the fact that he flew threw it. I also wouldn't be surprised if his fender liners were removed to fit those tires.

 

Yeah I was thinking that may have been it as well. Heartbreaking either way. I fear water crossing. I was once stuck in a pond with my Suzuki Samari.

 

One of the recent Xmas set, I think she messed up the front and back; I had no ball space, but tons of booty room!
I walked out in front of the family ashamed showing them off!

 

Like a poor man's castle. No ballroom.

 

Tex, and I enjoying the sunrise.





Won't find this in town.

 

Peace? I agree. You probably can't find a locked door either.

 

No locked doors here. I routinely leave the windows down on the truck with absolutely no fear.

Neighbors are good people about (pictured.) House below is is essentially abandoned. Won't sell the house/land to us because "momma and daddy gave us that land." Something I understand. Sentiment.

 

This would have me concerned in my area that some incident happened at the local chemical plant.

 

The sunrise?

Naw, that's normal. You should have seen TVA when it was in full swing. All those harmless water vapors fumes always drifted towards butler county Ky which just so happens to have a higher cancer rate, and shorter life expectancy than here.

Kids come out of their mommas more fucked up over there too. Weird coinky dink, eh?

 

Neighbors cows are out, and in the yard. Tex is on the case. He knows better than to cross the fence, but our yard is fair game as far as we are concerned.








This happens once every two years or so. Always get corralled out of the yard by tex.

 

I think I'm going to take a chance on an electric pressure washer today. Every single pressure washer I've looked at has mixed reviews. You can find 5 star and 1 star reviews for everything these days. I think they are all made in China too. I'm about to flip a coin to decide which one to buy.

@Tundra2 he's a good looking pup. Is he an Australian cattle dog mix?

 

I think we have a Wallace wurl or Blowes special. Can't remember where it came from, but I think it's a greenworks? It does fine for the one or two times we use a pressure washer a year.

Yes, blue heeler mix. He's a good dog, and has been through a lot with me. Vice versa.

 

We doing dogs today? I can get onboard with that.

but mine doesnt help with anything.

wont even clean his room.
