Where have you been?

I'm betting you're on another exotic trip.

I wish.

DW and I have been in Reno for a week going through my Fathers place. Since I inherited it we have been sorting out all his stuff. He kept everything. Seriously, everything. We are sorting out donations, stuff to keep, numerous dump runs and the emotional mess that goes along with sorting through his life belongings including stuff he kept from my childhood.

When we aren't doing that we are trying to find fun stuff do do in Reno aside from Casino's.

Here are a few pictures:

Reno Blues and Brews from last weekend.



Reno Auto Museum



Nearby Virginia City from a couple days ago.




One cool thing that we are learning retired is that do touristy stuff during the week and stay home on the weekends and do house work. Sort of backwards. Look forward to Monday.

Sorting through parents' stuff is not easy ever, but especially so if they were 'savers.' After my son and DIL helped finish up sorting my MIL's things we promised we would not leave him that sort of mess. His response — "That's good. Umm, could we get that in writing? In blood, perhaps?"

Looks like you are having some good times in Reno, too.

Looks like a pub crawl to me.... 
Take care BIS

Well spotted, AR!

Cool pics BIS.

Yes, I understand the "going through the stuff" task. Keep smiling and thanks for the tourist tip.

Yup. Not this trip but I have done that more than once in Virginia City during a motorcycle event. No shortage of cold beer in this town. During the gold rush Virginia city has over 100 bars and 2 churches. Priorities!
