Oh, I live in Clovis as well![emoji106] Sent from my iPhone using OB Talk

Sorry I missed the OTG2017. I had to cancel due to being sent to Puerto Rico for disaster recovery. Today is my mandatory R&R today, so am doing laundry. Please post pics of event. Sent from my iPhone using OB Talk

Just checked mine, couple of years old. We were loading up the trailer. Can't find any other than home. Looks like I need to hit the trails more often. Sent from my iPhone using OB Talk

Welcome, thank you for your service. My buddy's son has been over a few times contracting. Each time he comes home super thin. I asked if they fed him, his reply was the chow sucks. Lol Sent from my iPhone using OB Talk

I'm a gadget and radio nut myself. But, I have to remember to get my head out of the cockpit and see what's going on outside of the windshield. I run iPad mini for nav, dual band and cb for comms, and now toying with an APRS setup. Sent from my iPhone using OB Talk

Funny you mention this. I was going to rub out the pin stripping on my Jeep (scratches) with polishing compound then Meguiars and my wife, of all people said leave like it is so people know it gets used for what it's designed for. I always touch up the bumpers, sliders, and skid plates with...

Good to know, I just put a set on my Jeep. I always had good luck with BFG until the last set on my work vehicle. They are K02 and they shake even after balancing twice. My work van is a Ford E350 with 4wd conversion. So the fleet mechanics are blaming it on the conversion. I tell them it rode...

Wow, what a difference a few days make. I was there a week ago Wednesday and the air was full of smoke. Looks like you picked the perfect time. Sent from my iPhone using OB Talk

In the event of the last two hurricanes I would like to say thank you to any utility workers on this forum. First responders deserve all the credit they get and more. But, it seems the utility workers very seldom are mentioned in the news. They are away from their families when needed the most...

Great idea Michael. Keeping trails and back roads free of trash and abuse is always a topic of conversation when I'm out with friends enjoying the great outdoors.

Over the years I have worn many, Vasque, Danner, Bates, Converse, Herman Survivors, 5.11 etc... I don't spend everyday in the field, but when I do it can be in some of the harshest terrain and temperatures imaginable. From 125 degrees f to 15 feet of snow. The soles just don't last on any, they...

My last 2 work trucks had front and back receivers so I could move my winch to either. This was very handy. Sent from my iPhone using OB Talk

Welcome, Skyking56! I actually met Sky King when I was a kid. I live in Clovis as well. [emoji106] Sent from my iPhone using OB Talk

I currently use a C02 tank and will be adding a Viair compressor soon. My tank is a 10lb and around $27.00 to fill locally. The C02 does permeate through the tire and I find myself adding air about once a month to all tires. I already had to refill the tank 3 times in the last year. So it will...

Hey Ryan, if I am in the area working maybe I'll swing by and say hi! Sent from my iPad using OB Talk

Back in the day most car jacks were ratchet type and quite dangerous to use, especially on dirt or an uneven surface. I use my Hi-lift as a last resort. Mainly because there usually is an easier and safer way to accomplish the given task. But, when needed and used correctly there's nothing...

Started up there by myself on Wednesday. Got to the part where the van had to turn around at last years OTG. It started to drizzle some, so I decided not to take a chance and get caught in a thunder storm. Went back down and took a drive to Huntington Lake. Air had a lot of smoke from the fires...

Been in the area many times that time of year. The nights can be cool and around the Cedar Canyon area day temps can be really nice. If you camp at Caruthers Canyon it can cold at night. Other than that, both the East and West lower desert areas temps can range from the 70's to high 80's in the...

Been around them my entire life. My grandparents lost everything they owned except their lives in one. Never cross one. In my line of work and the area I cover, it is common place this time of year. Two weeks ago I was on Highway 95 outside of Vidal, just as I was crossing a wash (it was dry) I...
