1st Gen. Lunch Table - General Discussion

Well, the more expensive version is a "pass-through" design. That's appealing to me as I had to rotate the tent of pain several times for differing projects, either the chevy, the mule, the tundra, or crackie.

 

Ya know, if I hadn't burned the canvas from the last tent of pain, I could have made the cheaper one a pass through too, but I didn't have the foresight for that. Oh well... LOL

 

Another benefit to “pass through” that I see, is that tent being potentially more tolerant of high winds than one enclosed on three sides. Sure it may not be as comfortable to work in (tent of pain, anyway), but it’s less likely to get blown over, or the walls torn through, if wind can pass through. I like your choice.

 

Hell yeah, and if you need to jump off a cliff, it acts as a great parachute and/or windsail.

 

Here's what I'm thinking on...

Crackie stays parked about where the red oval is, but I can move him.

The camper is about where the blue rectangle is, again, I can move it, but it's mostly level, and I'd prefer not to if I don't have to.

I'd like to put the new tent of pain in the yellow square, but there's an old beech tree stump with a hump in the ground where the purple X is. Hmmm...

This is a great idea that I didn't see. Anyways, I always tie the tent off to whatever vehicle I'm working on with ropes/ratchet straps. I think it's mainly a Non-issue, but still, a great point!

 

One of the issues you had was working during quiet hours. Do you still work 3rd shifts? You appear to be putting the tent pretty close to the house.
tree stump - remove it. Rent a grinder. It's hard dangerous work - pay someone to do that crap.

About the switch panel - The lower dash is designed to prevent your knee caps &/or hips from getting broken during a collision. I'll encourage you to give that location greater reflection.

 

I remember that issue well. My current job has me home at midnight, and awake between 8-10 am when everyone is gone. I don't have to leave for work until 1pm, and everyone is still gone usually. My current job might change soon though...

The stump? I'm thinking about paying my Neighbor who owns a construction company with little back hoes, bobcats, etc to remove it. It's not like he'll have to haul his equipment from across the state. LOL

Oh, and switch panel... I didn't consider that. Maybe I can put it where @empty_lord put his scanguage

 

Some new battery factories opening in GA
Hyundai Plans 3 Battery Factories With Annual Capacity Of 90 GWh In Georgia - CleanTechnica

 

Bring it. Any of y'all want to move out this way, Savannah and surrounding area is nice.

 

Less than 4 weeks y'all

 

I wouldn’t want one in my backyard. As “clean” as battery technology is claimed to be, it’s a different story when the plant catches fire and they can’t put out the flames and toxic black smoke. Just my two cents.

 

Not sure what shipping is on this guy but these are what we use at work. They're pretty heavy and replacement parts are available.

I'm 3.5 hours away

The SK plant is huge, but also like an hour north, so ...

I'm gonna be the odd man out and stop encouraging him to buy another tent of pain. Noah, you're trying to move out of that house. Stop buying shit that keeps you tied down there.

 

The child labor aspect doesn’t surprise me at all. Even the mining of lithium has a high probability of contaminating ground water as well.

 

Until Christmas?

 

And Hanukkah, and Kwanza and who knows what else.

Ah, yeah, let me tell you about this thing called fracking.

 

This is cool! Lol is it something you made, or the latest thing you found to buy. Or did I miss the latest drop on the Sasquatch thread?

 

It's portable.

 

Threw together. Photoshop PSD file attached if you want to spice it up. I used to do graphic design crap as part of my job 20 years ago. This is 15 minute garbage in comparison, but it works.

 

I hear ya! I appreciate the reminder! As @shifty` says below, it's portable. Will it go back in the box the same way I take it out? Not a snowball's chance in hell.

 

Ford is building a battery plant about 15 minutes from where I live right now. From the amount of land they're clearing it's going to be absolutely huge.

 

Well shit, I guess there's no turning back now...

 

What kinda combat accessories are you looking at?

 

that's hot

 

If he achieves a brown note that’s all he’ll need.

 

That's the wiki for Terraria.

 

But, these are the "combat accessories" I'm after:



Or possibly these:



I was thinking about these too:
