1st Gen. Lunch Table - General Discussion

Tell me about it. I was out walking 9 miles in it over the course of my 12 hour shift last night. 45°F in Houston. WTF indeed

 

Welcome to my world. At least I’ve got a 4wd rental, a Hyundai Tucson.

Couldn’t drive away until the guy showed me how to start the vehicle, open the gas door, turn on the headlights and washer fluid and use the auto park retrieval (that was new to him).

 

High today in Milwaukee was 28°. Warm!

It got down to like 4° overnight a few days ago. With the wind coming off the lake, the windchill is frequently below 10° here. Going to be warm this week though- high of 37° tomorrow.

 

Just checked again- the "feels like" at midnight tonight will be -12°. Pretty chilly.

 

9miles? That’s impressive! Good for you!

 

He’s ready to run his first 10k now.

 

Sponsorship is hard to come by…….

 

Finally finished.



I feel reborn with my whole life ahead of me.

Going to preemptively apologize for any wild behavior for the next 15 to 30 days while I ride this high.

 

Sweet Moses that is art!!!! Enjoy your hiatus!!!!
What kinda of facility is that?!

 

Thank you!
I'll be around, Cant wait to jump back into the truck/camper projects.

It's a boutique hotel. The original building was built in 1926, and one of the oldest left in the downtown area. Pretty damn cool to add to that history.

 

Looks fantastic! You really are a master builder. I’m sort of surprised they didn’t go with an awning over the top to protect guests from sun/rain.

 

The most I've done in a 12 hour shift was 13 miles, but that was in like 60°F.
Typically I do between 5 and 10 at work.

6-7 is busy for me, but I’ve definitely doubled my steps after transferring depts

 

Thanks Jack.

It's really just an emergency egress that the bureaucrats deemed necessary when the hotel enclosed the second floor rooftop patio. The hotel didn't want the guests waking up to vagrants smoking crack on the patio, thus the arched cage detail.

 

Here's the weather while camping at the off road park last weekend. I need a space heater or a dog or a woman haha. I froze in my truck bed with hard top and 3 blankets. Slept in my clothes.

 

Sounds like it's a little too swanky for my kind, I guess.

 

Diesel heater!

 

Same. Dale and I even felt a little out of place working in their back parking area

 

I'd say 7 is average for me when the weather is right

 

@455h0le_dachshund actually ran over a piece of these stairs. In his defense I should have said something as it was dark and its kinda hazardous out here anyway.

Then a fuckin sparky (sorry, not sorry @bmf4069) did it right in front of me to the same piece at the job site. In broad daylight.

Pro tip: Don't assume someone won't run over a 50 sqft piece of steel.

 

I'm just here to fuck shit up.

 

I did a 5k once a long time ago. I just remember it was while I was in college, at Xmas time, and went from downtown Houston to midtown.

 

See, you already know what to expect.

 

Oh, we can smell.

 

I mean I walked it then too. I haven't jogged much since the police academy a decade ago lol.

 

Mine has been a game changer, we tried the Mrs buddy, but the dogs kept getting into it(I don’t sleep well camping as it is, throw the smell of burnt dog hair with a open flame in the tent……….)
My first year/day/night in big bear I had it rippin all night and slept in a banana hammock; everyone else went to town the next day for sleeping bags and more garments for me hahahah

 

Someone gave me the idea of buying a sleeping bag and tossing some hand warmers in there. I don't know what happened to all my sleeping bags. We used to have tons of em. Before the move about ten years ago

 

The hand warmers do last a while; but honestly I hate sleeping in a bag! I’ve got jimmy legs all night and need to regulate my body temp with my legs inside and out of coverage! I mainly wake up making sure my crotch fruit is warm and safe, and barely sleep the rest the of the morning but I won’t get up because it’s cold af and prolonging the morning poop

 

You need either an electric blanket or a thick insulated polyester cover like one of these I got at JCPenny 5-6 years ago (see below). I’m not sure if they still carry them but they're so worth it for cold nights. Keeps me warm when it drops to 45-50F when the pilot light sometimes blows out on my furnace. It should work with good blankets underneath down to freezing temps. Cost me $30 when it’s normally $60.
