Thank you for your kind words. We do feel blessed that everything went our way with both the condo sale and finding this house. It's also a relief being close to our son and his wife. He has some health issues and is going to need a kidney transplant soon.

It was. My wife was a bit reluctant and emotional about selling it. We had a lot of good times there and she made a bunch of friends there too.

That cracked me up! Had to show my wife this and the subsequent remarks. We've had been looking to move to the front range area of Colorado for quite a while. Well more than a year. However, we weren't in a financial position to do so until we got our condo in Boulder sold. That happened at...

Update. We made the move and have been here at our new residence in Fort Collins, Colorado area one month now. We went to the DMV yesterday and got our vehicle title transfers and registrations done. No problems and no emissions inspections needed just like the map shows. Just put the new...

I once mentioned Lubbock to my wife and that was a definite no for her. I think the least hot places in Texas are Marfa, Fort Davis and Alpine. That area is much more dry and a lot cooler than San Angelo. They are are all close to each other. Of those we did think of choosing Alpine as a...

LOL. Yup. Just like Bettina said in the movie, "A whole lot of nothing". My wife and I both worked our careers in Austin and moved to San Angelo when we retired. Cedar and molds both were bad there for both of us but worse on me. I thought San Angelo would be better with both but Cedar is...

Come next year, I will have owned this car for 30 years. It had 45K miles on it when I bought it and I've only put another 30K on it. I've never used it as a daily driver. So I guess it's always been a toy for me. But I use it for utility once in while. I put things in the bed of it but...

The Tahoe area is really nice. I prefer the North Shore area. I like Carson City too. It's been a while since I've been there so I don't know if it's changed much. Here's a couple hits I got looking for average snowfall for areas in Colorado that might be helpful...

It was you I was mostly thinking about when I asked the moderator to open this thread so I could post my update. That and because I was so happy about not having to fret about my El Camino which I'm so totally happy with after all he work I did on it back in 2017. And of course my wife and I...

Yes, I do have an update that I want to share with you all here. We've been getting our ducks in a row this past year to be able to make the move from Texas to Colorado. We did a lot of driving around up there and searching what's for sale for a while as well. We also had decided it was...

Dynamat is for sound deadening and the foil can act as a radiant barrier against heat. It doesn't take much Dynamat to deaden a panel. Beyond that, there are better and lighter materials for sound insulation which it sounds like you are after.

Don't use it at all as the additional weight is detrimental on the performance of the car. I try to save weight wherever I can. If you do the doors at all, just one piece on the inside of the outer sheetmetal is all that's necessary. Wholesale applications to the entire interior plus trunk...

You won't have any problem then. I didn't realize you were military. I will have to get a Colorado driver's license and change the address with my insurance company.

Until you get pulled over for something else and they catch you on it. Then up to $100 fine. On a second offense, you get the fine again plus 6 points on your license. Another offense in the next 12-month period gets the fine again, points and a suspended license. Not a lot to worry about...

Since you like more of a remote location, I guess that means you would consider a place without high-speed Internet? That would be deal breaker for me. Politics isn't a real problem for me. I've lived in liberal Austin and conservative San Angelo. I keep my poliltics to myself except for...

I'm looking in all those areas. Severance and Dacono areas too. All work well for being able to take care of family in Ft. Collins from time-to-time and visiting friends we've made in Boulder since we've had our condo. Keeps us close to a major airport in Denver too which is nice. We haven't...

I don't know anything about that. Others?

I was interested in GJ but with the family with heath issues in Fort Collins, my wife didn't want to have to travel on I70 over the mountains to get there so she nixed that. GJ is just so darn close to get to the higher elevations and cool hiking trails and that was really appealing to me...

My wife and I both lived and worked are entire careers in Austin and we retired here to San Angelo in 2007. I had bad allergies in Austin too. Mold, cedar and mesquite. I thought moving here would improve things but the cedar here is just as bad as Austin. Mold affects me just as bad too...
