Yesterday, I took the Boxster out for over an hour, for 45 miles, with Sandy. Top had to be up most of the time as she did not like the cool air nor the wind blowing her floppy hat. After a few minutes of seeing her hunker down low in the seat to stay warmer, I pulled over and raised the top...gotta love how fast it works, and I don't even have to get out of the car! We went out to Dallas and back in via Monmouth and Independence. In Indy, we were just 10 minutes from home and it was 5F warmer (now 72F), so I dropped the top and Sandy was fine, except for the wind. She held down the floppy hat around her ears, so silly!
Today I drove over another hour, down River Rd, across to the bridge before Indy, headed back East and up Skyline, over to Concomly, and then up Liberty, 12th, and home on State Street, the bridge, Wallace and Orchard Heights. TOP DOWN all the way and with the heater on since it was just over 60F. I activated the spoiler for most of the drive and put it back down when I entered Salem again. I saw a 911 Cab at the start of the drive when I was cruising down River Road, and I gave a wave, but did not ascertain gender of the driver, nor a response. The Boxster seems to be running fine, as I still try to get used to everything about it.
LATER in the day, Tad came over in his 911S with his new friend Mark who is interested in the 981 Cayman! They ended up staying about 2 hours, and we squeezed in a short 20 minute cruise with the 991 and 981 for Mark to see and hear. Mark is one funny dude who is totally enthused about getting a Porsche, and he is well versed in all the specs, options, and costs for the Cayman. By the end of our time though, he was also totally confused about which P car to get...the Cayman, Boxster, or Carrera, or the S variant of each, lol. It was fun to see the excitement and enthusiasm, and Tad really hopes Mark gets one of the cars so we will have another Porsche nut to cruise and converse with!
This is just a place for me to ramble (sometimes rant) about my hobbies which include radio controlled airplanes, oil paintings, my sports cars, and any other random blithering from me.
Aloha and Welcome to my small speck of cyberspace! Dec 8, 2010 is the birth date of my blog. Never had one before, but my son encouraged me to have one, and it seemed like a good way to at least keep a log of my RC airplane building and flying. With the initial design kicked off by my son, I'll carry on from here and have fun with it. Now that I have it, I will use it to also keep track of my oil painting efforts, and any other ideas, hobbies, travels, or whatever else that come up. LIFE IS GOOD!
Update on 02/25/2011. It's been a few months since I began this blog, and I am enjoying creating and having it! I like documenting the things I have done in my hobbies, and sharing with my small family. I think Jer and Tad actually view it fairly regularly, as a means to see what I've been up to lately. At worst, it serves as a reference for my own use.
Update on 12/22/2011. This blog stuff is habit forming. My blog is a year old now, and I make an entry about every other day or so as that seems to be the frequency of doing something in one of my hobbies. Like my hobbies, this blog is a lot of fun, and it has become in itself another hobby that I enjoy.
Years are flying by...update on 01/11/2013. Still enjoying maintaining this blog even though hardly anyone sees it. I don't advertise it anywhere or to anyone, and it is mainly just a way for me to keep my own notes and thoughts on my flying, painting, and cars. If a stranger happens upon it, I think it is by pressing NEXT at the top of the current blog they are visiting, lol. It's a great device for me.
August 2014: still here! Took up flying RC helicopters one year ago and got hooked. Had flown micro Helis up to then, but got serious with 450 size for a couple months, then bought the Goblin 500 and Gaui X5 . Also got my Boxster in April 2013. Most importantly, Ariel was born 12/02/12 followed by Skylar 07/20/13, and they are little beacons of joy in our lives. Life is indeed good!!!
I hope he gets one! That would be very fun indeed to cruise with three P cars!
