1st Gen. Lunch Table - General Discussion

Man, I just boned up something I worked all weekend to fix. I probably put about 20 hours labor into something Fri/Sat/Sun, and with one click, *POOF*, all gone. And now I'm having to spend the next 3 hours just to recover to a point I can restart the entire process, which will set me back about 1 week of productivity.

Meh. I hate Mondays. Holy crap this sucks.

 

Oh, man.

 

I actually admire the adults that still get into Halloween and have fun. If it gives people a little happiness and a distraction from all the B.S in day to day life then that's a good thing. I wish I was more creative when it comes to Halloween.

 

Boss is being cool about it, at least. We've all done that one stupid thing, I guess. Is it Friday yet?

 

I’m the only one at the shop that dressed up

 

Sorry, Buddy. Nope… it’s the first day of a looooong week. Hang in there.

 

This is great! Can we get pics?

 

Haha sure, it will be a few

 

@Sunnier I forgot my beets at the shop

 

Where's your horse and buggy, bro Jebediah?

And what'd you wager?!

​

 

SO good!

You’re not single are you? That’s the one day a year a lot of women dress slutty when they don’t normally do so.

 

Negative, and I have a 15 year old daughter.

I don't care if people enjoy themselves for Halloween and I'm not going to pretend there's not some interesting costumes, I just don't get the big deal that's made over it.

 

Vvti engines had more compression I believe

 

Nobody was dressed up this year on Zoom for Halloween. I guess a lot of people aren’t in the spirit of it.

 

I was behind this double cab earlier. Probably the 5th time I've seen this truck. He's got some sort of lift gate for a tailgate. Never seen anything like this on a Best Gen.

 

Looks like an older TommyGate

 

I think the creepiest thing for Halloween would be two parents and their daughter dressed as the killers from the movie “The Strangers”.

I think I would turn my light off if I saw them approach.

 

BMW worst gen Tundra?


Did BMW steal Toyota's lead designer?

 

More expensive gas.

That's definitely a good one, but is too in-the-spirit. Oh, and as much as I enjoy his music, Glenn is a short-statured flash in the pan

If going airborne, make sure the recipient doesn't open for 3-4 days after receipt. It's a known phenomenon that beer flown via plane tens to fall flat-ish if opened on arrival. I've experienced it firsthand numerous times being unable to wait, until I finally realized you can't do anything about it. At least, not that I've found.

Damn! Sometimes you just gotta love global warming…and it’s November tomorrow!

 

Apparently, my neighborhood is back to Halloween Central. Good thing my team left work early; by the time I got home, creativity was required to park. My grumpy neighbor has made such a fuss in years past that we don’t bother with a wash basin fire in the driveway. Instead… all our neighbors do that, so we can take part… and we do a small charcoal grill in our driveway, cooking steaks, while we hand out candy.

When I bought this house years ago, this was one of those neighborhood kids use to *get bussed in* to, from all over the county. That passed and it was pretty mellow for several years, but now there’s a ton of kids from around the neighborhood. It started up before 6, droves of young teens… weird.

Hmn. Another new thing I just learned.

 

No hinting!

 

Apparently, on the Gen 1 “I acquired about a year ago” there isn’t any license plate mount. Just screwed into front body work below the grill? Is there no better option?

 

I thought there was a mount you could buy that tees off the black mesh in the lower bumper, in a more concealed way, but it's possible I'm thinking of our old 2012 Highlander.
