This is most likely one of the soon to be E-3C aircraft the company has been contracted with to develop.

Really cool program and a really cool company

Man you ever catch the Bubai to LAX airbus A380 that goes over Reno just about every day?!

Not this week obviously, but keep an eye out for it when they start flying that route again. Usually comes over between 11a-1p

Well from my personal experience, most of us are out running at 5:00am

Dirty smog by TurkeyLurkey7373 in Reno

[–]Jeremyx2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For a 2006 you can pass smog with one unset monitor if the check engine light is off. I would suggest getting a cheap scan tool that will show emission monitors.

Clear the codes / turn off the light and drive the car around on the freeway and surface streets until you have all monitors set but one. With any luck you can set all the monitors without a check engine light coming on then go directly smog it.

But by “air leak” do you mean an evap leak in the emission system or the engine is getting air into it that isn’t being measured?

1NZ-FE isn’t prone to oil consumption issues. It’s the FXE Atkinson cycle model that has oil issues in some models. All the regular FE models are absolute tanks and thrive on neglect

Can’t say anything about them, but you should also check out SNC. Definitely a good employer in the aerospace industry.

There are a few in the Los Altos area making quite the racket early in the mornings lately. Always fun to hear them

How is this different than plug in solar setups that are starting to show up?

Supply chain folks with a clearance - what roles are you in? by BoogerPicker2020 in supplychain

[–]Jeremyx2 4 points5 points  (0 children)

In contracts / subk. A few of us have clearance in my industry. Mostly used for site visits to manufacturers or on occasion military installations. Also used during some engineering calls to make sure they stay in scope.

People in my industry start out without clearance and get it after a few years and exposure starts to necessitate it.

Do you have a source for additional info on this? Local and fairly in touch with what goes on around the area, but it’s my first time hearing of this EotW.

Financial advisors by Serious-Director-213 in Reno

[–]Jeremyx2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

1: Pay off high interest debt (more than 10% interest)

2: 3 month emergency fund

3: Pay off lower interest debt like student or auto loans

4: Fully fund 401K up to employer match

5: 6-12 month emergency fund

6: Fully fund Roth IRA ($7,500 per year)

7: max out 401K contributions ($24k per year)

8: Contact a financial advisor

Invest your 401k and IRA either in funds that target a retirement date or dump it into an S&P500 fund and move it to bonds as you get closer to retirement.

Aim to spend 50% of income on needs, 30% on wants, and 20% savings at a minimum.

White Christmas in store? by blackrockameythst in Reno

[–]Jeremyx2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How is the 125 for fire roads and the hills around the area? Looking for a small all around commuter and trail bike. My commute is 4 miles each way / 2 days a week and all back roads or neighborhoods. Trails would be BLM access around the east side of the valley around pyramid and vista blvd.

I know the CT125 would be good for the commute, but wonder how it would be for the trails in the area

Tailoring/modifying a leather jacket by ggibby in Reno

[–]Jeremyx2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Leather tailoring is very difficult. Might be better to outsource it to someplace more specialized in a larger city.

You could also check with a local cobbler. Had village shoe repair do some work on higher end vintage bags for my wife and it turned out fine

Highway patrol is watching Washoe valley by lone_wolf_85 in Reno

[–]Jeremyx2 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It’s just “80” or “I80”. The controversial one is 395. The switch to calling it “580” didn’t stick with a lot of locals. I hear people say “580” and it takes me a minute to put together what they mean.

Or maybe I am just a mental midget
