I took the day off today so I could take my wifey out for lunch at Fisherman’s Wharf San Francisco. We took the Boxster and it was the first time we took the Porsche to the Bay Area.
Beater Boxster alternator croaked..
Had to replace the alternator on my Beater Boxster.
Hanging out in Santa Maria..
I’m in the process of making a video and it’s a documentary based on the motorcycle life of a Pinoy motorcycle rider located in Santa Maria, CA. We took a break and ate some of Filipino food at a local food truck.
Flat.. ain’t this a bitch..
I put a lot of miles on my commuter mobile. Considering the amount of time I’m on the road I think I’ve been fairly lucky not getting too many flats. I’ve had my share on the motorcycle and cars the past 30 years so it’s really no big deal except for the hassle of getting a replacement.
I got a flat on highway 99 North right near the Lodi airport where the parachuters hangout.
Beater Boxster brakes…
One thing about the Porsche, it has so many sensors that monitors various vitals of the car. When I first got the car I had the “break wear” warning. I knew I had to get them done soon.
I had both of my front pads replaced with after market ceramic pads and had new rotors installed at the same time. Since the wheels were off the calipers were painted red with high temp caliper paint.
New toy Porsche Boxster 986…
Ever since I can remember I’ve always wanted a Porsche car. I guess when your a kid you when  you think of racing cars and speed you automatically think of Porsche (or at least I did).
Earlier this morning I picked up my Porsche 986. It is far from being pristine but that’s okay I just call it my restoration project 🙂 Since it has a long way to go to fix up I’m going to call my Porsche “Beater Boxster”. The Boxster is the model name.
Hanging out at the city of Locke, CA.
Took a photo of my sled while chillin’ at Locke, CA. This place is ideal for photographs and only a half hour away from the homestead.
Annual family picnic…
We’ve been doing the family picnic for the past 5 years!
Dang! Heck of hot!
Thankful I work inside of an air conditioned plant!
Comcast XFinity Service Sucks!!
Still no XFinity service. I have to say the lack of customer service is probably one of worse experience ever. I’ve tried both the human call center and the online chat support. It’s as if there are three different server computers trying to keep track of the service work orders and none of them communicate with each other.
The chat “canned responses” damn near drove me nuts. You type a question and the response would be so generic it didn’t get you closer to resolving the issue. A waste of time for responding.
I was supposed to have service completed yesterday. I waited all day for this to happen and they never showed up. Tonight I left another email stating my concern, a little more on the pissed off side. A few hours later I received a call from their Sacramento ground crew confirming they would be out Tuesday to resolve the cable signal loss issue.
