Reno and surrounding areas: Official spotted, BS, and meets thread

have any of you guys been up susans bluff above the carson river? looks like there are roads going to the top, but no idea what condition they are in or if it's even worth it. cheers

 

Any of you guys having hard time with the ladders on these roof top tents? I’m on my third one now. This is telescopic style, I like the older style two piece. Anyone know where I can buy one? Most say out of stock.

 

That's not a fun way to exit the tent in the morning. What brand tent do you have?

 

No it sucks. It always happens while hunting when I’m on extended stays. Tepui.

 

Did someone say backflow last week. F me. Hopefully WNS has a 1.5 to 1.25" ball valve I dont really want to rebuild the whole thing. I guess I'll clean up all the wiring shit while I'm at it.

 

I’ve tried to do a few small tasks around the house since I’m working from home. Nothing has gone right. Replace my front porch light? Should be 15 minutes. 2 hours later still working on it. Finally wash my truck, oh brake light leaks now I have to drop the headliner to fix it.

Also Home Depot has been an absolute mad house lately. Although yesterday I tried their curbside pickup thing and it worked pretty good.

 

I left my house for the 2nd time in 40 days yesterday to see if I could get this part at home depot. Not that many people inside but a long line for pickup. Of course HD sucks for specialty items so they didn't have the ball valve. At least my truck started after sitting that long!

 

Yep. Especially on the weekends. The line outside is almost as crazy as the lines at the registers. Even my department has been an almost non-stop madhouse for the past couple weeks since everyone has more time on their hands. Best bet is early Monday morning. Anytime later in the week in the afternoon and I wouldn't try

This is true. Most of that stuff is online.

On a related note, been able to catch up on most of the work that needs doing around the yard. Next step is cutting up some lawn and redoing one part of the front planter area.

 

You could check Ewing for a ball valve. Might even find it online so you can avoid the mouth breathers: https://store.ewingirrigation.com/products/irrigation

 

Yeah I thought I’d go yesterday morning and beat the crowds but it was still packed and there was a big line to get in. That’s when I went back home and just ordered online for curbside.

 

Thanks for the suggestion! I'll check them out.

 

Anyone been watching the 'Fallon Range Training Complex Modernization' project?

Effecting areas north of 50 near Dixie Valley and Stillwater.

Have not but may be heading out that way this weekend

 

Yep. Not pleased.

 

Anyone in need of a hybrid 22R w/LCE dual row adjustable cam gear, LCE header and a Weber 38 carb for $500? Time to start my Spring cleaning.

 

Yep, it's junk. Tons of lands I spend quite a bit of time in.

 

I have been checking out Dixie Valley a lot more on Google Earth and will hopefully head out there in May to check out the northern parts.

 

Went out to the moon today to find fossils. Pretty cool spot out past Fernley

 

Anyone on here any any advice for cutting the fenders and fender flares?

I’ve been reading on it. Would like some advice prior to the knife

 

Don’t use a jig saw. I found that a grinder with a flapper disc to work well for cleaning things up and finishing touches. I’ve heard good things about a tin nibble for fenders but never used one.

And make sure you know what order the plastic clips are in cause different colors are different sizes.
