Batman...man....your pictures stink...lol...all kidding aside, I spent 3 hours snow-blowing the driveway (NW suburbs of Minneapolis - about 12 miles), and walk. Mega-Snow here. And I was saying to myself the whole time, ummm...Wasnt I riding the Busa just 48 hours ago....sigh....now the sand trucks will add to the delay, and need some rain to clean off the roads after that.....tic toc tic toc...will it ever end

You have no idea how much I wish we would get snow like that here in the St. Louis area. Every winter I pray for a snow storm and every winter we get one. All 3" of it. Wait that was the total for the year.

Aah...I see. Last year was my first time in Reno. I liked the place...not too bad, not so crowded. Seemed to be more or less like a sleepy little place, aside from all the casinos.

Shopping was alright...had some fun at the Meadowwood (sp?) Mall and at Firecreek Crossing (?) shopping square.

Looked like a real quaint little place...nice weather, too. Yes, even that 9 degree morning on our way to the National Judicial College.


Two things I couldn't get over, though:

1) Sky-high real estate prices. Holy cow...

2) Waaay to high elevation for me. I was suffering the entire time I was there. My throat was dry, my nose was dry, my eyes got dry. NO humidity....and that was what really hurt. Well, that, and being out of breath all the damn time. No oxygen.


Heck, I was glad that I was able to experience a snowfall for the first time in my life!

All in all, it was a pleasurable experience. I wouldn't mind going back for a few.

I've really enjoyed my time in Reno...I met my wife here
biggrin.gif
Got to spend many cool summers riding Lake Tahoe and parts of North Cali......won money here...partied hard, and just generally had a ball
wink.gif
But after 14 years its time to move on. We live 18 miles outside of town...Reno's 4500ft up...were about 5100. That diff in elevation equates to about 8-10 or more degree's colder than Reno, which already gets damn cold. And we get about twice as much snow. And this elevation just KILLS your hp. I'm running 25-30 hp less on my Busa than you guys at sea level.....and believe me that truly sucks. I dropped a tooth on my front sprocket, stuck in a BMC filter, mounted bolt-ons and installed a pc just trying to get some of those ponies and the rush back.
And yes those crazy real estate prices are gonna help us out bigtime....our house has more than doubled in value over the last 4 1/2 years...but its killing the folks who live here making Nevada wages and trying to buy a house at California prices.

I'll tell you tho...you can eat (and drink) like a King on Mcdonalds prices at the casinos here.....And THE best high end food I've ever had in my life has been at the casino steakhouses
tounge.gif
Overall even tho I'm moving I would still rate it as one of the best places (on the west coast anyway) to live. Next stop for me.....the coast, sea level......and all the HP I've paid for.....yeeeeehaaaaawwwwwwwwwww!!!!!

I was gonna ask you Pac...your first snowfall ever was here?
wow.gif
wink.gif
boy have you lived a sheltered life you lucky sob
laugh.gif
I thought you were a Cali boy that lived on the islands part time. Sounds like mebbe your a Hawaiin born and bred
