1st Gen. Lunch Table - General Discussion

I remember when you could buy real M80s and cherry bombs in Chinatown on the outskirts of the combat zone in Boston when I was a kid. Blowing up a toilet was almost a rite of passage as a delinquent.

 

Saw this gem on the drive though a town nearby. Hard to tell from the pic but it looked like the bed was racked hard from left to right.

Hung this on the pantry for momma.

 

The hell is this? You barf and bottle it up?

 

Awesome…except I see no snow here.

 

I'm not getting out of my truck in the snow and freezing my butt off just for #instagramcredz yo

 

It’s ALL for the gram bro! Haha, I don’t do social media though

 

Black eyed peas, bacon, salt pork and water. + a fair pinch of pinto bean seasoning. And a ‘51 silver dime.

 

This a Texas thing? I wouldn’t worry about swallowing the dime unless you crap out 5 pennies and a nickel.

 

a silver dime is worth 6 quarters. That’ll plug you up in a bad way.

 

I sent this to dad. He didn't think it was very funny at first... but then he thought it was hilarious.

 

Only to the right buyer

 

Well that explains your your ethic for sure lol

 

still zero luck finding the damn interior parts i want for the tundra. DAMNIT

 

Not much activity today... lol still waiting on test results for the BIG C.

located and ordered the correct terminals for my radio harness rebuild. and integration of the new amp. SO truck will be getting the headers, full exhaust, amp installed, power steering lines installed, and a few other little odds and ends installed this winter... goal with the radio harness it minimize the bulk behind the radio. also hopefully fix the backup camera situation. worst comes to worst i have a full body harness with a factory backup camera i can get the wires out of can integrate a stock camera into.

 

First thought was "this must be something you picked up in the yard", but I'm wondering after the other stuff rolled out. Symptoms sounded like when I had Scarlet Fever as a teen. Like strep with a full body rash. F'ing sucked. Docs couldn't believe I'd gotten it. Guess it's weird for anyone older than 10 or something? Dunno.

Happened here days before we went to see my parents in southern AL for Christmas. Damn brewery I'm doing low voltage work in, an owner and her son both had colds the day I was there fixing their audio wiring and adding a mic/PA. They took two at-home tests in the days before and both were neg, so I felt OK about it all, then next day, 18 hours after my lengthy face-to-face with her showing usage, both tested positive. I was supposed to head to AL 4 days later for Christmas w/the folks.

Lethargy, brain fog, feeling like bad sinus infection. 2/3 of those I can attrib to an autoimmune issue I've got, but it was bad timing. Waited three days and over the next 4, two at-home tests neg, then the whole family brainjabbed, also neg, one more at-home test was inconclusive, so took one more, neg. At least 20 friends and family members caught this last batch. All this to say: Get on the mend. You're young and not horribly unhealthy, you'll be alright.

This is exactly why I stopped getting impassable kidney stones in my late 20s. Went away completely when I started drinking beer. Didn't put the two events together until one night I was three or four beers in and heard a PLINK in the bowl while breaking the seal.

This was a regular thing for us while I was living in Gainesville FL a couple decades back, but ours was on 4th of July. Still shocked nobody ever called the cops on us. In hindsight, it was stupid as hell, but man was it the highlight of my summer every year.

Are you kidding me? This is freaking classic new years day fare. Beans and greens! If you're not a yankee or from Cali, your parents must've been?

It's all good either way. And @Sirfive those look like some damn tasty peas!

Well, I'm positive for the BIG C. Called new HR to let them know, and check in on their policies. They are confirming, but as it stands right now...

As long as no symptoms for 24 hours then I can return to work... crazy.

 

So much for a paid 2 week vacation.

 

No paid time off in the state of KY from any employer anymore. Now it's lack of work or use your vacation for pay.

 

This is the time being a PLC programmer working from home would work in your favor.

Hopefully, no issues returning to work.

I'm awaiting my results also, should be back any time now. Been feeling crappy since the day after we got back from Orlando on the 29th not sure if it's from sickness or the wonky weather changes.

 

Same here I believe

 

My sister claims that it simply does not exist in Florida....

 

How you feeling? Take a little break from those shmokes man

 

I may have joked with my brother about that before we left.

Daughter and wife are both negative so we'll see how this plays out.

 

I feel normal today, ans felt mostly normal yesterday as I posted about. Everything is back up to spec it seems.

Mom is negative, and little bro did a home test. Negative. Pops and I are the only two positive mfs up in here lol
