I’ve been looking around the past few months at used GL1800 or commonly known as the Goldwing.  This is Honda Corporatation luxury liner. The land yacht as I like to call it. 

Wifey and I took a ride out to gold country to a place called Auburn to check out a 2007 Goldwing I spotted on Craigslist. The owner sounded like a nice fellow and willing to work with the asking price. 

The color itself is probably the rarest of this particular year. I don’t see to many around for whatever reason. 

got stuck this morning. Because of the traffic jam going South on I-5. It caused a traffic jam in the surrounding surface streets. It took me a half hour longer to get on the freeway which normally takes five minutes. 

It’s Mothers Day and one of the presents for the wifey was to get her BMW 330ci detailed inside and out. The guy who did the work has 18 years experience and  is very good. He spent about 5 hours getting it all done.

I also had work done on my Porsche for the finalizing “cut and buff” process. This is where all the swirls, scratches, bubbles etc. are removed. The photo below was taken today and processed through HDR software for the look I wanted.

saw this on my way in from work this morning. I would have pulled over but this particular stretch doesn’t have a safe shoulder to park. With the amount of 18 wheelers hauling down that stretch of the road I figured.. nah.

I tried the video time lapse feature of the GoPro 4 Silver. For starters I used the 0.5 second increment to give me more frames to work with if needed. The video was taken from Handlery Hotel located in the Union Square area San Francisco. Oddly enough the I shot this from the 6th floor, room “666”.

It took me awhile to figure out how to get the video play at a “faster” rate. I used GoPro Studio to produce the raw video and Final Cut X to add music by Yuck Nasty and lower 3rd credits.

I took a photograph using my iPhone 6 Plus of my still new to me Boxster paint job. Next weekend I’m taking it in to have the “cut and polish” work done to remove the swirls and dust particles that were embedded during the clear coat process.

Tonight is the huge fight between Manny Pacquio and Floyed Mayweather. It’s probably one of the most anticipated matches in the last few years. 

Gonna bs good time at the spot tonight. 

I took a couple rear shot photos of my toys.

I’ve had some disappointing moments with Beater Boxster’s paint job project. One of the high items of my “piss me off, really?” moments was scraping the damn overspray off my windshield and side windows. It was so bad I could barely see through it when I was driving towards the sun.

I tried the WD-40, paint thinner, cleaner route and none of that stuff really made a difference. I finally got a tip from a YouTube video that showed a guy removing overspray from glass using a wide razor blade. It turns out I had one of these in my tool box so I was in luck and could try it out right away. It took a while but I got the overspray off.

All the plastic and masking protection was a precaution when I was handling the different chemicals that didn’t even work.

Slept over night at the clubhouse to keep watch over daughters reception venue. Proly slept an hour total..
