1st Gen. Lunch Table - General Discussion

Thought there was a real time ear bud style translator like star trak!

 

Picking my nose just got alot easier.

and my brain doesnt itch anymore.

 

Still poopy buttholes.

 

Im probably gonna get clawed to death, but this next time i see someone with 5” fingernails, ive gotta ask.

 

There is a lady at the auto glass place we use, I’ll ask her. But man she can type and kill it on the credit machine!

 

Looks like some of the human debris has been cleaned up from Sisters house, and pushed into small piles.


Wow

 

Looks like the dog is just finishing doing your nails

 

@Tundra2 Glad you're ok. The pics I've seen from KY this weekend were equally incredible and horrifying.
That front was seriously huge. Gale winds all day Saturday as far north as Dan and my folks. We had a few trees blow over in my area, but I didn't hear anyone bitching about it. I reckon they were all glad to have escaped the destruction your area is enduring.
I know you're a giving sort of dude. If you find you're heading out to help and can put some [presents for the kids, gas, or chainsaw oil] money to good use, post up your paypal and we'll make sure you have some extra resources. A lot of us can't travel to help, but we can send a few bucks.

Found you on IG and followed.
Don't give up here just b/c there are some douches. There are douches everywhere.
Plus I like your truck and this monitor is waaaay bigger than my iPhone.

I don't usually follow links like this. (Scared? Scarred? Hard to say at this point.)
But I lol'd hard at the bloodbath that thread became.

Do them with your pocketknife like a man.
Chewing your fingernails may be good for your immune system, but it's fully fucking gross.

 

@chrisb little bro and I are heading out today actually.

I will be taking my Sawzall and pole saw, and chain saw.

My PayPal should show up as @Tundratwo

My actual screen name was already taken on PayPal Should be a picture of the front end of my truck as the PayPal profile pic. Let me know if you have difficulty finding it and I will pm my email to anyone wanting to give.

 

Wait, what? Human debris has a couple of different meanings. PP incoming, and I'm not talking about dong or yellow snowmaker. Finna penetrate yo bank account.

 

PS - maybe time to start a firewood biz on the side.

 

If anyone wants to donate money to the relief fund. The state of Kentucky opened one up to help combat fraud.

They were discussing it on the radio this morning, supposedly this tornado traveled something like 250 miles which is nearly unheard of, last record was like 220 from the early 1900's.

I have some complaints about NW PA but fortunately that's not something we typically have to worry about.

EDIT: I missed @Tundra2 providing his Paypal earlier, just so this didn't come across as me thinking he's a scammer

 

Monies sent.

I was really taken aback at first.
Then I looked at the picture and was relieved.

 

I was zooming in on my screen, looking for people pieces. I don't see people pieces. I know it was killer, and wouldn't be surprised if someone found some people parts in their yard after something like that, but ... just didn't expect to see a phrase like "human debris" up there

 

I wouldn't want to get pulled over by a cop and use a term like 'human debris'. "Officer why do you want search my car? Like I told you, its only my wife's human debris back there."

 

Decatur Toyota still had the parts deal going this morning! @shifty` I owe you beers, saved me over $200 compared to the mcgeorge order I had dialed up. In for a steering rack, tie rods, LBJ's, and a slew of other stuff.

 

I knew a guy who would run the camera through sewers bare handed, then eat an apple while he writes up the work request. To his defense I've never seen him sick.

Rumor has it when another plumber offered him latex gloves he grabbed a turd by the cleanout and squished it through his fingers to say "no thanks".

 

legendary..

 

That man was a legend in many ways. I've seen evidence supporting that nature bent to his will more than once.

He was on the news when San Bernardino was on fire around 2004. He was on his roof barefoot and shirtless spraying a garden hose at his next door neighbors house, screaming like a madman. The house to his left, to his right, and across the street all burned. His had nothing more than some smoke stains.

Another time when a huge storm drain broke uphill from his house, cars were getting pushed down the street from the flood. The water stopped at his door step. He showed us videos of him standing on his porch watching cars "float" by.

 

Sounds like a good guy to befriend, and a worse guy to make an enemy of.

 

I felt lucky that he took a liking to me. He was in his early 50s when I met him, I was maybe 23. Guy looked like a blond version of David Hasselhoff. Seemed to be riding the tipping point between genius and insanity, occasionally leaning to insane.

 

The line between genius and insanity is incredibly thin...and oft vague.

 

I’ll give it my best shot to get O2 sensors ordered from Decatur today. Sounds like I need to read up on pvc’s and nuts and stuff. I should have some inbound SAE non-metric crackers so yay there.

 

What all is needed to refresh the front sway bars? I see the oem end links. What other bushings? Looks like Toyota does not have a kit

 

I plan to go aftermarket. Most (some?) of those are full kits.

 

i' bought new bushings for my 2000 years ago. there are some aftermarket options out there with a simple internet search on sway links.. seems the oem are thin and rust easy

 

Hang tight if it was a boatload of stuff, it may take them a few days to collect the odds and ends to ship out. That's what happened to me this last go-round. Sounds like FirstGenVol may've had the same experience. What I'd tell you is if you email the 'ericf' address they ship updates from, they'll usually get back to you pretty quick with status.

The higher up the scale you get on either side of the coin, the fuzzier and fuzzier the line separating the two gets. I've known one or two folks in my life who really needed to be on medication to keep them from floating back and forth between both sides. I hate to say it, but those types of people are often where life-altering innovation comes from, if they can just stay alive and out of the cackle-factory (looney bin) long enough to create it.

 

Sorry I don't have a part number for you to save on O2 sensors. Now that I remember, I was doing my upstream sensors for the first time and the parts guy at Toyota gave me a part number that included both o2 sensors for $75 back in like 2007-2008 timeframe. I remember cutting the label off the box and storing it but I can't find it. It was used to address TSB EG-019-02, but the TSB doesn't give the special part number only each sensor individually.

 

Got us out here clearing brush. My 16" Poulan gave up, but my new milwaukee 16" and the pole saw keep on ripping







Lil bro doing good with direction. Never used a saw before.

 

Chain saws are fun. Just uh… wear face protection. I lucked out, but I had a chain break and damn near hit me in the face.
