1st Gen. Lunch Table - General Discussion

Ah yes, my favorite: Kick back, recline, and watch the sink.

Ah, you know someone already created a word for that, so we don't have to type all the other words now. Happy to share: "parenting". Hopefully this just saved you a few extra seconds of goof-off time on Tundras.com

Oh boy, my favorite. The only thing better than the shining veil of pride I feel while watching my kids poop in nature, is jumping out of a tree wearing a KoolAid Man outfit screaming "OOOOOOHHHHH YEAAAAHHHHHHHHH!" while they're pooping in nature to really help with the process. Yep, that's right. I am the living reason the phrase "scared the shit out of me" exists.

 

I can see you doing that too having met you lol

 

Let's just say ... the kids would be shocked, but they wouldn't be surprised.

 

Its good to be home. Polo did great. 800 miles, 7 days, stayed at 3 different places. I'll see over the next couple days whether he misses having neighbors & being leashed outside. Scored some goodies from the grandparents, & dug a wheelchair out of the trash. Life is good.

 

First gen camping trailer anyone? I dig it.

So wait - what's the plan on that one? Repurpose the rolly parts for something cool? Or R&R then sell?

 

Pretty creative but unrealistic for price.

 

This ones folder is bent, and makes it a major PITA to open and close, but the tires are better than the one i have with the footsies. And those old wheels/tires & another set makes 4, and i'd like to build a better kayak dolly, figure foam 24" mtb tires would be better with stairs than the 8" wheels on the dolly i have. And/or if i can get the canted wheel thing to work, i'd also like a front ?yoke? Not for the stairs, but for loading the kayak full of shit upright, instead of the kayak being upside down. Cause sometimes, by myself it might take 2-3 trips if i plan on bringing lunch (catch & release type, i dont like the taste of fish), if polo is with me, i only go upriver and dont need a ride, but a nearby campground/trailerpark has a shuttle they'll let me ride.

 

Tundra To the Buffalo river!!! Since I can’t make it to Sedona this year.

pardon the non FGT tow rig.

 

My friend from Arkansas always talks about the Buffalo. He says it's a great time. I need to come join you guys for that trip to the Ozarks. Did they ever confirm the dates?

 

Hot day today at 87 degrees. Almost wore my shorts today to work, so instead I decided to stay at home so I could wear them because that‘s what everyone else would do, right?

 

Massachusetts is not having a good week….

Leaked Classified documents by Mass National Guardsman and now CAT stealers taken down….

Little race car

 

Borrowed the engine battery from the RV -date sticker says it's from 2011. I guess keeping it on a maintainer is a good thing. Side is looking kinda bulgy, maybe replace while it's out. WTH. But she fires up the rig 1st try every time so far.

 

This works pretty well in my book

What was joked about in the 80s/90s is suddenly reality?

Price is crazy but that thing should be at 1GT to Sedona this year.

 

Batteries plus has 20 percent off with code auto20 right now if anyone needs a battery. Good till the 17th.

Indy LPs really wanna Merica

 

That ‘stripper’ will definitely leave you burning and itching without using the proper protection….

 

I think it's always been a reality. Everyone has known a "Pat" sometime in their life.

 

Maybe if you frequent major cities. Country bumpkins ain't used to much outside their world, especially before the internet

 

You haven’t lived until you have lapped chrome moly tube with 2” DOM and a pipe wrench.

 

If you saw Peppermint Patty for the first time and everyone called her “Pat”, would you know right away in the first minute?

Actually wasn’t it Marcie that called her “Sir”? Always err on the side of caution.

 

So great example. Peppermont Patty confused me as a child. Marcie didn't help.

 

Somebody needs to edit some tundras in here

 

Re-entry?

 

I mean, she does play football and trolls Charlie brown like a dude would.
My best friend in HS was named Patrick, so we always called him Pat or Patty.

 

Boat update-

The modern electronic part that I purchased to replace the 1960s one doesn’t work. These are famous for being “foolproof” and “100% reliable”, and of course, the one I have is bad. $300 down the drain. New one is ordered.

Here’s the list of what else still needs to happen:

-Connect steering
-Drain old gas
-Replace water pump
-Drill thru transom for new bolts
-Make sure the damn thing runs

I have 7 days.

Also: what do I do with 12 gallons of three year old, 50:1 mix gas??
