1st Gen. Lunch Table - General Discussion

Read that quote again.

 

you read it again

 

Just remember to pressure wash it TWICE on the undercarriage before you get a day or two above freezing to minimize any rust.

 

I am flying from Austin>DFW>CA.

I live in California. There are direct flights from DFW to Bakersfield where I live.

 

Makes sense now

 

What school does the younger one go to?

 

Norther Arizona University NAU in Flagstaff. He graduates in May. Love it there. He is the one with my old 2000 Tundra AC. He works at the Snowbowl Ski resort and the 4wd comes in handy on a daily basis for him.

 

Nice, it’s definitely a fun town and lots to do around there. What is he studying/want to be?

 

He is majoring in environmental sustainability sciences. He wants to save the world. Right now, he is not sure what path that will take. My older son is getting his Masters in Energy Economics / Finance. He is planning on working in renewable energy. He finishes up in May as well. He drives my old ‘06 Tacoma PreRunner.

 

That’s awesome and something to be proud of!
I bet your youngest has heard of Brad Landcaster; pretty much the godfather of environmental sustainability down here in Tucson, written books, got local laws passed and all kinds of other cool stuff

 

Probably more than you'd think. Knoxville got around 18" in 93 and last year we got 10". No issues.

 

They treat our roads with brine before the snow. No salt visible on the roads this time. Just brine. Which is worse when it's wet. It's also not super effective. Supposed to start snowing at 1000 tomorrow. Expecting 4-6".

 

Driving straight into it from Memphis rn. About an hour from the Little rock airport and it’s just rain

 

What’s your roof pitch? Is it greater than 30 degrees?

 

I'm not sure but it's steep enough I can't safely walk on it. But mine is steeper than a lot of roofs around here.

 

Well. I was just alerted that my flight into DFW was just cancelled. I was rebooked. New itinerary is Austin>Phoenix>Bakersfield.

 

General consensus is good for the Costco interstate AGM batteries? this duralast has zero cca. Went to start the truck and no go.

 

Come next week a lot of Texans will be looking under their truck going “What’s all this orange stuff on the frame”?

 

I was in Albany NY today. Originally Albany -> Atlanta -> Little Rock. Engine trouble. Then Albany -> LaGuardia-> Little Rock. Would be getting in late after the storm. Then we booked Albany -> Orlando -> Memphis and rented a car. Worked out and made it home. The other flights into Little Rock ended up getting cancelled, so we chose wisely.

 

I remember YEARS ago we were told "no flair" because it altered the intended non-conductivity properties of the hat... so in the trash they went.

 

15 is the minimum

 

Anyone else excited about Mike Judge's new show on Adult Swim in February?
Common Side Effects.
How about the King of the Hill reboot coming to Hulu sometime this year?

 

Ahhhh another one joins the dead battery club this week
I thought 90cca was low, holy shit yours was dead af.
Thankful they (NAPA) warrantied mine because it had a $234 price tag, I about shit my pantaloons when I saw that!
It was only 2.5 years old
EDIT: 13-14deg this morning, and I don't think I've ever heard the truck crank that fast since I've owned it. I think the other "new" one I had was shit from day 1.

 

False.

 

Then it will be epic when they see the orange tainted frame in the wheel well, no?

 

I don't know, how fast does it rust if they drive thru salt one time?
It's humid here, so most metal has light surface rust,. Doubt it would phase anyone, if they bothered to look.

 

Generally if you slosh through it, it’ll start showing after a week in the warm weather. Not so much if it’s still below freezing.

 

Made it home no problem. Snowing heavy but roads were clear.



TITS tomorrow
