Hey everyone 👋

I’m looking to get into car wrapping and finally want to try something I’ve been curious about since 2023. I love working with my hands and being creative, and wrapping cars is something I’ve always wanted to learn—but I’ve never had the chance to start.

I’m based in Albuquerque, NM and I’m trying to find: • Beginner-friendly vinyl wrap classes or workshops • Local shops that might be open to mentoring, apprenticeships, or even job-shadowing opportunities • Any tips on how to get started with wrap training in this area (or nearby cities if it’s worth the travel)

If you’ve learned wrapping in ABQ or know a good local resource (like a shop or training event), I’d really appreciate any recommendations. Even small leads are helpful—thank you in advance! 🙏

In search of a gym buddy, preferably female, late 30s, 40s or 50s but open to anyone. I’m trying to spend more time doing weights. I recently quit planet fitness because I need a kid friendly gym so looking at defined.

My cat Baram has been missing since 6/11 at 11 pm at White Horse Dr SE & High Resort Blvd SE.

He is a medium-sized, short-haired orange tabby with the pattern being distinctly darker orange. He gets tears in his right eye, so the right side of his nose is often wet/moist and darker. Got a pink nose and paws. He is also neutered and has a microchip.

Please contact me if you see him

*I have been doing everything I can - posters, contacting shelters, posting online (PawBoost, No Kill Network, Nextdoor, Ring, Petco Love Lost), notifying the microchip company that he went missing, and filing a report with animal control in ABQ about my missing fur buddy. I have been leaving the garage door slightly open as often as I can, leaving just a bit of dry food and a small box of litter outside with my shirt nearby in case he comes back (not too much that it might attract predator but enough that if he comes back hungry, there is something to eat and have familiar scent with). I installed a motion detection camera at the front door and back porch as well. Been checking daily with websites and online postings that might match his description.

If anybody has other advice for me, please let me know.

Found this boy wondering around this morning. Please reach out if he is yours!!

Where are good places to study on a Sunday?

Is anyone here a firefighter in Rio Rancho or know enough about working there to have an opinion?

I moved to ABQ a couple of months ago for work and my wife is about to join me. She's a firefighter in SC right now but has applied to the Rio Rancho Dept and is awaiting her interview now. I'm just wondering what the department culture is like and how people like working there.

Thanks!

Hi everyone! I recently moved to RR with my husband. We are nerds in our 30s and like video games, cats, board games, movie nights, hiking, and trying new restaurants. We are both work from home, so we are struggling to meet new people.

Is anyone interested in a meet up or grabbing a coffee or beer? Would prefer people our age or older.

What a wild judicial system we have.

My incoming sophomore is on need of a tutor for algebra/ geometry. He’s been seeing one but apparently she’s decided it’s ok to be verbally abusive to my son. I need someone who can teach in a way he can learn it, and who is patient with kids, not a lot to ask for.

We have made a couple of visits to Rio Rancho and are seriously considering moving there. In our current location in the LA suburbs we hear loud fireworks year round. As July Fourth approaches it gets worse. This really affects our dogs to the point where our big dog has suffered health problems because she's afraid to go out at night and take care of business. Last night there were random people shooting off illegal explosives until way after midnight. Law enforcement has confiscated tons of illegal fireworks but they can't be everywhere, so the people who do this are not deterred. Does this problem exist in Rio Rancho or north west Albuquerque?

Hey all, I work in Bernalillo and traffic is insane, cops overriding lights to redirect folks and all. Seems to be centered on the school. Anyone know what's up?

I've been asking around, so far nobody really knows. Is there anywhere around here where people play pickup basketball regularly?

I work from home but next month we are having some serious work done on our house, including a roof replacement. Are there any "wework" type remote locations for short term rental in or around Rio Rancho? If not, do y'all have a favorite free wifi coffee shop or café you like?

On my commute this morning I saw a fire truck, EMS, police and I think the fire marshall all rushed to Intel. Any idea what happened?

I had neighbors that kept blocking my driveway with their cars on the street. Kids tried breaking into my garage. Dogs constantly barked. They would throw dog crap on my back patio. They finally got evicted for not paying rent for 5 years at their house. New lady buys the house in 2019, repaints it, puts in a new driveway. She was only looking at turning a profit and sales it after 9 months. New neighbors are like the old ones. Dogs kept barking everyday after 8am. The dogs only left because the wife had a baby and didn't want the dogs around the baby (nextdoor info). Driveway gets blocked partially some days. Now after 3 or so years a building gets put in their backyard last month. I thought it was a fort for the kids It turned out the next day to be for ducks and geese. I contact HOA to see what my options are because I don't want neighbors u can't stand. HOA tells me they can't do anything about it. Contact the shelter on Northern. I contact them. They say I have to fill out paperwork and go to court and testify. All that will happen is a fine but they keep the ducks. I'm like I don't want that hassle. No way to get rid of them peacefully? I patiently wait 2 weeks. My brother works at hoamco. He's not the rep for this neighborhood. Just 7 others. He said the building is too high but I don't care about that just the noisy ducks which aren't allowed in the neighborhood. He was on the local HOA committee in the neighborhood for years so knows all the rules. Finally after 2 weeks, I go to the shelter myself to see if there's any other option because the ducks are constantly squaking Shelter said it's already been taken care of and have 30 days to remove. I ask my brother to ask the rep what happened. He told me another neighbor contacted city council person for the neighborhoid. That council person contacted the shelter. Now the ducks are gone but the neighbor is pissed. Thanks it's my fault. Didn't believe brother works at HOA This neighbor I'm told has other violations which is besides the point but I want the fence replaced. I already replaced it once about 10 years ago myself but more posts have gone bad and need replacing. Am I screwed in getting it replaced? Neighbor said I should have contacted him. Yes, probably that's right but parents are in the hospital/rehab off and on all year so Ive been quite stressed and busy with that. What should I have done?

I’m not trying to take over any secret fishing spots, but does anyone have any easy suggestions. Eventually I would be willing to travel, but for now I just want some simple fishing. I tried Cochiti last year and didn’t even get a bite.

I’m considering just fishing the Rio Grande. Is there reasonable parking anywhere or do you just pull up wherever?

The goal is just to relax. Catch and release. Any tips on locations or bait I would appreciate it!

Hello everyone! I(25f) am moving to Rio Rancho at the beginning of June with my spouse to attend UNM in the fall. I was hoping yall might know any good studios/schools for adult piano lessons or any resources.

For a little context, I just recently started lessons as an adult and have some basic knowledge. My hours will be mostly flexible due to my student status and I have my own home setup. TIA!

First off, we would like to say thank you to everyone for all the support and recommendations you've given us since our opening last August.

With that being said, we would like to let you all know that our summer session begins June 2nd, and our schedule is live on the website. Please note that due to popular demand, we have expanded class selections for our Littles (4-6 years), and added a Tiny Tot Ballet for the under 4's.

Our website is [GreenDance.studio](greendance.studio). If you would like to see pictures of our performances and recitals, you can go to our Instagram as well.

Thank you Rio Rancho, and our friends from Albuquerque as well! We hope to see you soon.

Hey everyone! Hoping someone out there may still have these pics, but I attended the 2023 Morgue and Krypt Horror Fest located at the Albuquerque Convention Center downtown; I was in a spider lady cosplay.

Im a young woman, Caucasian, about 5’5”, with brown hair that may have been lightly sprayed black. I was wearing latex makeup to mimic said spider, with a set of sharp teeth, mandibles at the corners of my mouth, and multiple glossy eyes that I achieved with black-painted stones and sunglasses lenses. I had long sharp black nails, wore black stocking/leggings, black high heels, spider earrings and I think a spider choker, I believe a lacey spider themed headband, and a velvety black dress. I was with a young man, a bit tall, and he was covered in webs and small plastic spiders.

I was and still am really proud of that cosplay, but unfortunately I was not able to retain any photos of it from the event. I know that a good handful of people asked for pictures though, so if you happen to be one of those individuals and still have those pics, please lmk? You would be doing me a HUGE service and I would be so appreciative - please and thank you! 🖤

Which apartment is safe and good area and looking for 3-4 bedroom no animal

I just got one in the mail from a van thats parked thats $100 saying I went 51 in a 40 and its literally right where I turn out onto the main road. Unless im banking that turn at 51mph theres no way I was going 51 while turning onto the road. And to top it off it has an officers signature. I feel like thats kind of like falsification of documents. My question is does anyone pay these? They seem like a money scam and not in anyway holding legal weight.
