    Definitely the walk away and ten deep breaths works. Glad to see the simple strap worked.

    Too many to list, and I've probably forgotten a bunch.
    My dumb question of the day. For all around use, which are better - white fogs or yellow (assuming the same beam pattern). I've read a lot of stuff, but none of the sources I've read did any sciencing on the question.

    I like yellow fogs, since the amber color cuts through dust, snow and fog way better than white.

    I tend to prefer white fogs for regular/daily use, and a secondary set of lights in amber for use when conditions necessitate.
    If you go with Baja Designs you could order one color and swap lenses to experiment or even run yellow in the winter with snowy conditions and white the rest of the year

    I'm a fan of yellow fogs and a white lens on a bumper mounted lightbar with a flood/spot combo. The yellow is great when conditions necessitate but they don't put out the light like a clear lens will.

    Honestly, for an E-bike a S2 sport is good enough. A couple of S1's would be pretty sweet too.

    anyone going wheeling/for a drive tomorrow afternoon? I'm here in town working 6 am - 2pm instead of going home so might take the time to go get on some dirt. Thinking of doing verdi peak before its too snowed in. Did it last year with abt 5" of fresh pow and it was pretty rad. That or might venture up around hunter lake trail area and branch off where I can. Or if Ya'll know anything in truckee thats only got light snow dusting so far? I've got no winch but I know how to shovel and use traction boards so if it's only couple inches on the ground I'm not worried abt it

    Not sure what these are considered but they’re small like bikes, e-moto? I did consider the S1 too. Good price on those and I could equip both bikes with one.

    Done this in the past for holidays. How legal/illegal do we think it is? I imagine most cops would be fine but some could find something if they really wanted tocamphoto_1903590565.jpg

    I’ve seen people with way more elaborate lights than this before too. I’ve driven past cops in the past with it like this too

    A pair of S1's on the Talaria would definitely be money. Had a SurRon for a while, well my wife did technically. But I loved that thing. So much fun, plus no one cares when you ride around the neighborhood on them since they're so quiet.
    If you want to replace the stock headlight with a single light a Squadron sport combo or an S2 pro combo would work well also IMO

    What a great sub forum. I lived 55 of 56 years in the Reno area and miss it quite a bit. Some great pics in here that almost bring a tear to my eye. The endless sky, the mountain ranges, desert and everything else......the best.

    Hey all,
    I have a 40 gallon tank with two surviving Cory Cats (looks kinda like this below) and would like to get out of fish keeping for a while. I was gonna just buy a 5 gal tank and set it up on the kitchen counter to let them live out their days, but I figured I'd offer them to be re-homed if any of you guys have room in your tanks to spare myself the expense of setting up another temp tank. They're pretty old, very chill, and I just feed them an algae wafer every other day.

    Furthermore, if anyone would like to get into keeping fish, I have a 40 gal tank with a 70gal filter, LED/UV hood, and 70gal heater I'll give to someone in the community here if they'd like it. Cost you a six pack of IPAs, seem fair?

    upload_2023-11-25_19-51-10.jpg

    Thank when it was slightly more populated lol. Picture from 2018. The decorations all need tossed due to age, but the tank/hood/filter/heater are good.

    First time using the fire extinguisher in my truck wasn't a campfire I made so thats good.

    Guy pulls up next to me at walmart and engine bay smoking and underside glowing. He tried pouring water on what was probably an electrical fire. so after I told him to pop his hood and check that shit, moved my truck. Then went back and put out the fire. "thanks yo"

    I did my good deed for the year. Thats how that works right? Need to get another fire extinguisher now though lol
