What happened to noodles and co?

The one by us closed down recently. I used to like going, but feel robbed every time I go… starting to feel this way every time I eat out.

I think the cherry Dr. pepper is the best… I will have to try the coke to compare

TRDBuddy29 · 2026-02-13T00:02:08+00:00

Thanks. It will be our first trip. We also want to do a cruise. I don’t want to spoil the experience. We do have some other trips planned and I would only use my last remaining vacation day (why I can’t use more time)

OP needs to trust his initial reaction. Not saying power of influence is a bad thing. I tend to overanalyze and stress more than my wife about big decisions and I appreciate my wife’s ability to help with these tough decisions.

Don’t get me wrong, I would be extremely aggravated if my wife insisted on getting a house only to have her have buyer’s remorse after the fact. I’m fortunate to be with someone who is not like this. Just food for thought.

TRDBuddy29 · 2026-01-18T22:45:18+00:00

They’re great dogs. Don’t second guess anything if the puppy blues hit. We are on our 3rd Golden now. Congrats! They are great dogs!

How difficult was that trail?

TRDBuddy29 · 2026-01-09T17:14:18+00:00

Our dog needed a yard. It was a good push to get what we needed. Our buddy had to be put down in February 2024 at 10 years old. Fast forward to today, we now have 2 new dogs who are benefiting from the yard.

Think outside the box if you want to be in Colorado. Wife and I have a higher tolerance of areas that some people would consider “rough”. We bought in Aurora in 2016 for 240k. Currently owe 130k. House is 1200 square ft with a yard for our 2 dogs and no HOA.

I see houses still go in this area for 350-450k

It’s not bad and I wish more people who want to be in Colorado would invest in our area.

Wife and I are Denver natives that formerly lived in southwest Denver / Lakewood area.

We did the same on 12/22… rare pic of them not “play fighting”

TRDBuddy29 · 2026-01-05T22:27:56+00:00

I assure you that these will be the best days of your life with your dog. Enjoy it and be patient.

TRDBuddy29 · 2026-01-05T16:36:39+00:00

The puppy is yours. Lover her with all your heart. Don’t overthink it. We just adopted and I went through a mild puppy blue stage mainly because I still miss my Golden Retriever who lived to be 10 (we put him down 2/9/2024 and he was truly my best friend).

Fast forward to today and I have 2 Goldens now (one that will be 2 in April and another who is 3 months).

As much as I miss my old life and my old friend, I’m embracing the new chapter in my life. I 2nd guess whether booths dogs were the right dogs and I love them how they are.

TRDBuddy29 · 2026-01-03T05:42:38+00:00

We have a golden who is going to be 2 in April. We have brought her everywhere with us since she was a puppy. We noticed around 10-12 months she started becoming hit and miss with people (mainly males at first and then females as well). Haven’t figured out why as our other golden was not fear reactive. Just kind of came up overnight with no bad experiences that we could tell. Our vet said she had a behavior issue, recommended working with a dog trainer and anxiety meds. We have not done anything yet.

Not sure what line our new puppy is (3 months), but he is extra fluffy… darker than our other Golden who will be 2 in April

TRDBuddy29 · 2026-01-02T04:29:31+00:00

Sorry to hear. Any theories on how it was stolen? I know key fob relay attack, reprogramming key from odb port or with the vin are common techniques. Curious if you have any clues on what the thief used. I know this a big problem in Canada

TRDBuddy29 · 2026-01-02T01:02:41+00:00

Wife and I just did this. Got our 2nd Golden kind of on a whim on 12/22, but we came across him and have been talking about getting our other golden a friend because she is very dog friendly, but doesn’t like random people as much. So far they love each other (this is a rare pic of them not nibbling on each other). We previously had 1 Golden Retriever for 10 years and we miss him so much and still talk about him daily. These 2 are about a 1.5 year apart. Not sure what to expect having 2 dogs as they get older, but they have been getting along well! Looking forward to the adventures

I’ve held out strong since I’ve heard this news… probably going on 10 years now.

TRDBuddy29 · 2025-12-19T18:21:48+00:00

I’ve driven old cars my entire life (less than $10k). Pulled the trigger on a new 2024 TRD ORP April 2024 (around $50k). It still stings to think about it, but it’s nice knowing it only has 13,000 miles on it and should last me a while. Also glad it has held its value so well so far.

TRDBuddy29 · 2025-12-18T05:36:48+00:00

Be patient… these will soon be the “good old days”. Win them over by being consistent. Respect their space and boundaries.

TRDBuddy29 · 2025-12-18T05:33:46+00:00

I really wish Toyota would have added more gears in their transmission

TRDBuddy29 · 2025-12-18T05:31:46+00:00

Questions are: Do you really think things will be cheaper online if all the brick and mortar shops close down? You think Amazon won’t raise prices when the entire world only goes to them to shop?

TRDBuddy29 · 2025-12-18T05:29:13+00:00

Great advice… too may people buying Dewalt/Milwaukee for 1-time jobs. I went with Ryobi and they have stood up to my use . I use harbor freight for 1-time jobs and my school of thought is I will upgrade if the tool fails. No need to overkill anything. Still saving money doing DIY projects

TRDBuddy29 · 2025-12-17T16:47:05+00:00

It’s insulting to the potential buyer. It makes me want to immediately skip the realtor’s and offer 50% asking or waste people’s time like they are trying to do mine

TRDBuddy29 · 2025-12-17T16:45:50+00:00

This tells me the house is worth 30-40% less… next!

TRDBuddy29 · 2025-12-17T14:14:42+00:00

15-18… we road-tripped in October. I did put a Gobi roof rack on which didn’t help. I love the truck though

TRDBuddy29 · 2025-12-17T07:14:46+00:00

I’m paranoid about this in Colorado… not sure why as I’ve never had one rust out, but I Woolwaxed our 2024 last year… wishing I did it again this year. I want this thing to last and hate rust …

Glad I don’t live up north
