Trip to Boulder

We drove up to Boulder, Colorado today to visit Allison's something or other coffee shop. She has the closest Synesso Cyncra machine to us. Oh my gosh... 10 years ago, Starbucks had great espresso. They have slowly migrated away from being excellent, to being mediocre, but everywhere. They have adopted the 'McDonalds of Coffee' philosophy. The drink I had today was one of the best I've had in years. Right now, the only two places I know to get excellent espresso is Allison's in Boulder, and the Raven's Nest in Colorado Springs on the corner of Boulder and Institute (a shop owned and operated by our friends Paul and Heather).
Trying the Sysnesso drink today solidified our decision to go with the Cyncra for our shop... No more doubts, no more questions.

We also went to the Denver Museum of Natural Science, and went to see "Papa" (Tracy's grandfather).
Oh yeah, and the Broncos won 17-13... GO Broncos!

As for this coming week, we need to meet with our lawyer to review the lease, meet with an agent to file for our business entity, get our tax ID information, set up our business bank account, review our architectural contractor's bid, contact electricians and plumbers, set up a trip to Synesso in Seattle, finalize our equipment list and send to BigTray.com for pricing, work out pricing for Fetco brewing systems with Maric Beverages, begin finalizing our menu, finding a storage location for all the equipment and construction supplies, etc...
So much to do...
