1st Gen. Lunch Table - General Discussion

So my old lady is a audio/video-file. Most of the time I could care less, but I’ve semi watched most or some of TWD, and other titles I’m sure. But watching shows with the boys has expanded my mind even further! First off, Larva and Larva Island are on another level. But anyone who wants to zone out for the night, and possibly think to themselves wtf; Kippo and the age of the wonderbeasts, is some good shit.

 

Today I learned that the plug on my mini fridge is super sensitive. Last night I grabbed my phone charger off the 6 plug extension thing and must have wiggled the plug for the mini fridge. Today after trading a load of empty pots to the local nursery and planting 8 new plants, and pulling weeds, and cutting the grass, and cutting up a dozen boxes, and moving some rocks and filling Tuco holes with dirt, I thought I would grab a beer and clean my air filter. Beer was warm. Damn it. Barely pushed the plug and heard the fridge kick on. Cleaned the air filter without any beer.

 

So I had the same thing on my mini fridge!!! But it was actually the outlet!!
Change the cord cap(plug) and then do a jiggle test, if not replace the outlet.

 

I might try that. I was thinking I would like to extend the cord, maybe find how it is attached and use a new cord in a longer length. This 2 footer doesn't give me much room.

Now that I know it works I want to paint it black.

 

My bro in law gave us his standup freezer, we already have a older one. But I’d like to move the newer one inside so it’s easier on it and easier to get to(we do raw dog food so we get into it every night for the next morning)
I just need to get rid of a stupid….ly awesome cat tree that I once never completed, to make room for it all. But id like to jack the mini fridge up for ease of loading…….and unloading of course!

 

I will never play that worthless attempt at a cash grab. Bethesda better pick it up for the next one.

 

Take a pair of pliers (still don’t know why it’s a pair, like a ‘pair’ of pants?) and on the fridge plug end, twist both terminals ever so slightly, like 5-10°. Plug her back in, it’ll be tight, and you won’t go chorin’ without a cold beer again. Poor guy.

 

were you driving a go-cart?

 

Yeah basically, and taking it off road into the hills at night to do what teenagers do in the hills at night. We threw a few keggers in the Sunkist orange groves.

I wish I had pictures. That car had no windshield, no working gauges, no seat belts, 2 bald tires and none of the tires matched, 3 different wheels, 4 different colors on the body. Ran and stopped like a champ though.

 

This thread triggered me.

Isn’t he more or less implying to not spray it on a wet frame to trap water underneath? Some engineers I deal with are very much like that. They never like to state the obvious in layman’s terms.

 

Gotta admit his name is clever. Probably from California with that Del Taco reference.

 

Idk fluid film says they’re stuff displaces water, I’ll take my chances spraying my frame every year lol

 

@Sirfive here are the wheels and tires.

Front are 15x4.5 wrapped in 165/65
Rear are 15x5.5 wrapped in 185/65


285/75R16 for reference. Arent they adorable?

 

This is something you don’t see every day….

Life seems very relaxed wherever he is.

 

I like the fact he dug a 6” hole in the pavement using just the rim in a burnout.

 

Some of the best threads I’ve ever read/been a part of have been on Tacomaworld

 

Anybody here watch Dirt Garage on YouTube? It's probably my favorite channel.

 

Same. I really want to replay New Vegas but it runs like dogshit on my PS3. And I have the GotY edition and still need to play the DLCs

 

That was a fun read. Thank you.

 

check out 'Terra Crew' on YT

 

Yeah they're pretty neat. But this guy does Toyota mods. Like 2uz swapping a pickup and solid axle swaps etc.

 

*makes note to check out Dirt Garage*
I like Dirt Lifestyle. Nate is well-spoken and is able to explain things in layman's terms in addition to turning out great projects. (except that mini cooper. I hate mini coopers.)

I keep trying that channel, but it's too much bro and not enough tech (or driving) for me. #yeeyee

 

Those DLCs are game changers. I didn't really like the honest hearts one, but the other 3 are awesome. You should be able to play it on a PS4 if you have one.

 

Yeah it doesn't work on my PS4 (2nd gen) only the 1st Gen PS4 was backwards compatible.

 

Though I may try to mod my ps4 if there's a way to unlock that feature. My buddy has recently taken up modding his PS3 and my Sega mini. It's just a matter of time before he attempts his ps4

 

I'll ha e to check out dirt lifestyle. Dirt garage is great. The dude and his friends are Toyota purists so all their engine swaps are Toyota engines. They also do bed bobs and trail fixes and trail videos. They have some really cool rigs.

 

uhmmm - there seems to be something else going on here as well...

 

The Stone Brewery gargoyle?
