Tundras live: Dumb Dad Jokes, Incorrect Opinions, and Relationship Advice.

Thyroid issues are a mess. I hope they get you sorted, but if what they do doesn't help as much as you'd like, you should check out Dr. Ken Berry and his theories on diet and what it can and can't fix. He specifically talks about the thyroid issues at some point, but I've watched a bunch of his vids and can't remember where I saw him mention it.

Only if you're interested, of course.

 

I will definitely check it out if things go south again . Apparently it was Graves’ disease that caused it but it’s gone into remission now .

 

I get it. Mine was talking to me all the time. Anything I did, said, didn't do or didn't say was wrong, lecture time wrong. It was tough for a while.

 

With all of these serious issues I hate to ask but should I get the four burner Blackstone (at Costco for $400) or the Sam's Club knock off for $175?

 

Is that a real question? Why would you spend 175 when you could spend 400?

 

I think both prices are too high for a propane griddle. I'm sure they're both made in the same country so I'd go with the less expensive one.

 

Blackstone made their name, but IDK about overall quality. They just severely downgraded their travel version ergonomics and I wouldn't buy one today. It's still made in China and not exactly square. If there isn't some internal design or quality element that is easily distinguishable as better, I'd be tempted to go cheap.

 

Screenshot and post a pic. I'm not clicking an etsy link.

 

Correct. I try to avoid the sewage of the interwebs.

Not for me, but thank you.

 

It's craft shit bored moms do instead of parenting their kids, and they think they should be paid like they invented the best thing ever. Most of it is trash.

 

Sour taste after people I know IRL tried to get me to buy their crap on etsy.

 

100% agree

 

100% not serious, but one of you drinks lady beers and the other drives a glorified golf cart and thinks it's cool, so... yeah.

 

I do have a much more serious issue at the moment that I need to work through.
I have an 8' bed and desperately need to cover it so I can carry tools around, go get drywall, etc. The weather sucks and I can't use my bed for 90% of what I need it for.
I've found plenty used caps for sale within a reasonable distance, but they are all for non-tundras. Really nice ones in the $2-500 range. The issue is the Tundra cab has a big forward slant at the back and the other trucks are more straight up/down. So the caps won't match up well at the back of the cab.
I'm not paying $3k+ for a new cap.
I'd go for a hard tonneau, but a one piece FG or composite tonneau for an 8' bed is non existent. I don't want a foldable or pleather tonneau. Even used, 8' don't exist anyway.
I could build my own, but how ghetto would it be? I don't have the time or energy to fab something that's actually nice.
Why can't there just be a white, 2.5 gen high rise cap for $400?
Why is life so hard?

 

Next you guys will be telling me to buy off the chinese scamazon site or temu or something.

 

Wow, quite a night here. I don’t have any words of wisdom but will be praying for you. I went quiet in Dec cuz I was tapped out too. Zero energy to even scroll the pages for a bit. One day at a time.

Just tried to get on an earlier flight and decided the 90min time savings wasn’t worth the seat downgrade. So have a few hours to relax before my final leg.

Back to Dry January. Might take it a few weeks into Feb, but we shall see. Gotta get back exercising too… I lost about 6lbs before this trip; need to keep it going!
