1st Gen. Lunch Table - General Discussion

Yes you! Do you have insomnia or just like getting up early? I'm typically up at 0615.

 

Meh I'm up at 0530 pretty much every day including my days off. However I'm also in bed by 2130 as well.

 

Nope no insomnia, just always an early riser. I fall asleep sometimes as early as 7pm which doesn't help.

 

I feel like there should be a Windows 95 => 98 => XP correlation in here, then I remembered Windows ME was a thing and ... Ugh.

Enough headlights to make a tweaker proud and envious.

No thanks, the world can F right off until about 8am.

 

So next T2S I just gotta come find you when I wake up. I was up with the sun everyday. Seemed like everyone else woke up two hours later

 

It's not too bad. I'm asleep by 2200 so I get 8 hours. I try to sleep in until 0800 on the weekends. Our dog usually wakes me up though.

 

I get to work at 2200 most nights. So when you get up, I clock out. Unless you're an hour ahead. Is Tennessee Eastern or Central time?
Except tonight I gotta work 1800-0600.

 

Tennessee is both time zones but I'm on eastern time. The cut off is close to the middle of the state.

 

About an hour east of Cookeville I believe

 

The 3M wheel specifically is just as common to find in professional detailers' toolkits as is a fork or spoon in a restaurant. It's tough to find a pro detailer on YouTube who doesn't use in debadging videos. Watch how fast he zips through the thick ass double-sided tailgate adhesive @ midway mark of this.

Polo gets me up at 6:30...or 5:30. And sometimes at 4. He likes to stand outside and squint at the dark.

 

$1000 for a nicely optioned 1st gen with front end damage in the Pascagoula area. Salvage title, but ...

Yeah you're right. Not as close to the middle of the state as I thought.

I've always thought it would be weird to live right on the line. You could work in one time zone but live in another.

 

Just think about how many years you could add and subtract from your life driving back and forth.

 

How the F does THIS happen??

 

Sunshine and neglect

 

Yeah, but the arm rest looks like it was chewed off.

 

I'm thinking some serious damage up front. That engine looks like it's pushed downwards on the passenger side in the engine bay. Maybe an engine mount is gone or worse?

 

Or coulda been an angry badger. Or a Wolverine.

 

Some people have more pucker than others.

 

Hungry arms.

 

I live about 45 minutes or so from NM. It's very confusing when we have to work there.

 

I was always up then too. Damn AZ and their 5:30 sunrise.

 

I need to replace a toilet. I have never replaced a toilet. Any tips I need to know? My wife wants one of the skirted toilets.




I'm assuming this is from previous repair work at some point?

 

Shirted?

 

LBJ FAAAIIIIIIIIILLLLLLL

(Nice center console in this one)

 

Have a dolly on hand. Clean it really good & turn it into a planter. 2 people to be able to set it down square. I've seen the alternatives to wax rings, but i've never had any trouble with wax rings.

 

You caught me before I edited my typo. Skirted.

 

Looks like you lucked out on access! It's sucks trying to replace a toilet if you've got to move around in a cluttered area.

When you pull the old toilet, have a rag or ball of paper towels handy to place at the top of the drain pipe so, when you do a careful and excellent job getting any/all old wax and grime removed, it doesn't go down that drain. You may find cracked tile or something; take the time to fix it and make everything level.

As noted, you gotta set the new toilet into the new wax ring *just right*. If you get a friend to help, it eases the back strain, but requires additional coordination to keep the base level and exert downward force evenly.

I've finally lived in my home long enough to know, replacing wax rings is an every-5-years errand, to avoid leaks.
