    It's all set... What a crazy journey this has been! I got the PhD funding from my employer, and today was my last day "at" work (I stay employed throughout the PhD program... nice, huh?) :)

    The movers come tomorrow...

    My fiancee, Sharon, and I will be up in Boulder Sunday or Monday (depending on when the movers get there--what with a four day "move window" and all!).

    Rather than shipping, I'm just drivin' the 328 up from Albuquerque (450 miles or so).

    Can't wait to get up there! Weather looks like it's going to cooperate...

    See you guys soon!

    Mike,
    The weather is supposed to be good through early Sunday. After that it gets iffy. Let us all know when you arrive. Welcome to Colorado.

    Congratulations. Bring some oxygen and humidity with you. You are lucky to be close to many cars, a great FCA club, and Dave Helm's shop.

    Weather in C. Springs is supposed to be 70 on Sat, should be good up there, too, but watch for rocks/gravel on the road from the last snow.

    Be careful on I-25, it is a dangerous road, and Colorado drivers are not all that safe. Especially rubber necking at a Ferrari.

    Welcome!

    Mule is right, I-25 can be a nightmare (I used to live in S. Denver and work in Boulder) as there is a lot of construction going on, but Saturday should be fine. You'll love having the F-car in Boulder as there are miles of great roads just outside your door!

    Hey guys! Thanks for the great responses.

    Wanted to let you know that Sharon (my fiancee) and I have relocated successfully to beautiful (and a little COLD!) Boulder, Colorado!

    We drove up the cars yesterday, and have started getting settled into the house that we're renting. The house is fantastic, absolutely gorgeous, and very, very quiet--great for studying and relaxing. Meanwhile, we got our cars emissions tested today (as required per Colorado law)--passed with flying colors! Everybody was gawking at the Ferrari :). Driving up the cars yesterday went without a hitch, and we had excellent weather. Just heard today that the movers come on Thursday, the last day of the moving "window." Not ideal, but not a major problem either. Gives me some more time to study for finals (taking a few classes this semster via distance learning).

    Until the movers come, cable gets hooked up, etc., we've managed to create a makeshift computing setup, by "borrowing" our new neighbor's wireless internet connection (thanks, neighbors!) and then sharing it across all three of our computers. What great luck, eh!

    Lots of pictures to come--but for now, here's one of our favorites… That's Sharon behind me in the side view mirror, driving up in the Murano!

    More news as it develops!


    Take care,

    Mike and Sharon

    Welcome to beautifull Colorado to Mike and Sharon. Boulder is getting loaded with F cars...Tomorrow, I'll drive the TR down to Dave's shop. We were together in Canada this past week end, so we need more time to talk to each other ??? Mike, you need to stop by Scuderia Rampante to say hello to Dave and his prety clan (he is the ugly one).
    We all hope to see you soon
