For all of you who haven't heard, my last day at Renegade Hybrids was on friday. I have decided to go back to school to study mechanical engineering at UW in Laramie.
So I guess my question is, any body live in Wyoming or northern Colorado? wanna go tip some cows? or (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sheeplove.gif) ?

It gets cold up there. Really frigging cold. And windy. Cold and windy.

I like it in the summer though, lots of wide open room to stretch your legs without having to fight through a crowd of idiots at every turn.

You do know how to hunt and fish, don't you? It's the law up there.

Laramie is a nice town and you have the nicest road in the US to run, heading back to Colorado on 287.

yeah Laramie is a pretty nice town, I went to Wyotech there for a couple years and met my wife there. mostly moving back to stretch out and be near her family.
Where else can you get a really nice 5 bedroom house with a huge garage for $180,000! what am i even going to do with 5 bedrooms?parts storage?clean room?
when I was living in laramie a couple years ago I would occasionally see black, light blue and a dark green teeners. so I know they are out there, show yourselves! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Good Luck and do well in school. I lived in Wyoming for a while. Laramie was a short drive away and a lot of fun. The Colorado and wyoming group are a lot of fun and a weath of knowledge. Take care

Congrats on going back to school. Sounds like you have an aptitude for engineering, so you'll do fine. Wyoming should have plenty of open roads with little speed enforcement.....

Welcome back to Wyo. Pay no attention to our friends from "South of the Border", it's not THAT windy. (All the time) I'm not aware of any teeners in Laramie, but there's a few running around here in Cheyenne. Give us a heads up when you plan on arriving. As long as it's not snowing, a drive over the hill to Laramie will be in order. Mike

So I guess my question is, any body live in Wyoming or northern Colorado? wanna go tip some cows? or (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sheeplove.gif) ?

Best of luck and good choice on the schooling!!!! I was a mechanic and worked on race cars thru my 20s, finally went back and finished the BSME just before turning 30 and took a job in aerospace. No more lower back pain (yes, had it in my 20s from bending over fenders all damn day - no jokes about how I got my raises now!!) and a better salary.

I just "phone" interviewed with a company in Louisville, CO (just north of Denver) and they intend to fly me out for an official interview next month. I mentioned my auto background and the hiring mgr commented "if you worked on cars, then you just went to the top of my list"! He was a professional welder as a young guy, so I said we are gonna be good friends as I need a friend that can weld on my tube chassis car (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) If all goes well, I may be a Colorado resident first of the year and maybe we will cross paths as I am an avid road-racer and will have a beast of a car back together by then.

Trust me, the typical ME is "stupid from the elbows down" and you are making a wise decision and your background should be a great asset. Just show them your car with the spoiler!
