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.

Gonna bs good time at the spot tonight.
Beater Boxster & The Sled…
Porsche 986 Boxster @#$!%!#$!! overspray!!
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.
All nighter!…
Slept over night at the clubhouse to keep watch over daughters reception venue. Proly slept an hour total..

Night time shot downtown Stockton..
I took the DJI up to 400 feet above ground level and had the GoPro 4 Silver set to 2 seconds intervals between each shot. Even though the screen blanks out every two seconds I’m still able to compose my frame and composition.
The next time I do night time photos I want to get closer to the downtown district area, possibly shoot some video too rather just concentrating on stills.
Lumpia bargain..
Multi-rotor night shot…
Multi-rotor operation – adding gimbal…
Drone flying…
I went out for some drone flying time at a local park. I had the whole area to myself when I first arrived but a half hour later a bunch of soccer moms and dads pulled up with their orange cones and started setting up downfield. I had to make sure I stayed away from the general area in case I lost control of the Phantom 2.
I added a the propeller guards until I maneuver the Phantom 2 with confidence. I figure it made economical sense purchasing the guards than replacing the props.
