Took truck out for a test drive after being in the shop. Did both some trail cleanup, and a small campsite that had garbage/junk left for someone to run over on the dry lake at Jean Roach, NV

Looking foreward to the 'Meet and Greet', for the March Rally Point in Las Vegas
This coming week here is going to be extremly HOT. They say at least 3 to 5 days of new recoreds being generated. 113-115 temps on a couple of days. Even the surrounding mountains have heat advisories in place.
2 trophy upgrades in the last 2 weeks.
I have been stymied from accomplishing more due to personal/medical and Covid 19 issues. I would like to get out on a clean-up/campsite sweep this year, we will see. Vegas has a couple of big events around the outskirts which fill those big 30 & 40 cubic foot size garbage trash truck containers
The last few days have seen me casually begun my studies for the HAM tech test. I should have done it years ago. Old test vs new 2019 version.
I have now joined the OB members with GRMS license's. Will keep my Uniden XL520 pro CB in the truck. Goal is to have multiple comm systems.
PS EDIT: Bought the Midland 275 GMRS unit to go with the license. Really nice mic, and it seems real popular with many.
Reading all these threads here. The boards have sure been busy this last week.
Replying to some questions by a OB member
Reading and enjoying some OB threads today. Recovery and gear threads mostly this afternoon. EDIT: AND EVENING
Logged on and got a pleasant surprise. Level 8 and Rank VI. Thank you. It is not always clear what qualify's for upgrade status. I realize that the moderators have a say , on when or if, and that is fine. Would like to know the trophy image under my avatar. Is it temp, and will it go away after a certain time? I expect it will.
Still on the hunt for that elusive member II meetup. Had foot surgery, so no driving at this time. Depending on others for transportation. Still hope to see someone by chance. It's only a matter of time. Hope to be mobile again in the fall
Snow tonight and tomorrow in Las Vegas...(rare). No driving planned....let the bumper cars games begin.
Today marks my 300th post, on Overland Bound. The civilized comments seen here are so refreshing. A great community forum.
Vegas finally drying out after 2.5 days of rain. Snow on the mountains is great. Skiers are very happy!
Thank you all, who have thought my posts have had some meaning. I try to inject humor, personal expieriance, and knowledge.
I hope everyone had a great Tuesday holiday. Now be safe and enjoy fiends and famuly this New Years Eve......BE SAFE.
Everyone have a great Thursday Holiday.
Working both sides of the Holiday. So it's errand day today. Will be looking for that CHANCE ENCOUNTER in my travels today.
When on the road today, not sure if someone was trying to flag me down....Possible OB member?
Went out and finally applied my OB badging. -
