LFairbanks Posted July 16, 2013 Share Posted July 16, 2013 Wondered over to the Norfolk Naval Base and saw some cool stuff. Including 3 AirCraft Carriers and the USS Cole. Pretty neat to see that stuff in person for those like myself that live in a land locked state. Oh, and 2 submarines. One of which was German.

Captain Slow Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 I worked in the lab this afternoon doing final inspection. The younger or newer employees were shocked I knew what I was doing. While it was a great change of pace from Customer Service I'd hate to do it on a daily basis. I tip my hat to the final inspectors of the world. When I got home my new 36 oz bottle of Adam's Kangaroo Kleener was on the porch waiting for me, thank you Dylan! MAYBEN 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Slow Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 Out the door and on the pond fishing before 5 AM. A beautiful 90+ minutes of fishing, 11 largemouth bass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chewy Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 Cut my grass last night... HOT AND HUMID!!! Sweat doesn't evaporate, it just rolls down my face... On a side note, my yard looks AMAZING!!! Holy lush green grass batman! Sure, my yard owns me, but at least it isn't dead like all the others... MAYBEN 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
randyfox Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 Pulled the '55 out for more quality time. Washed the wheels once more to ensure there wasn't any residual Metal Polish still on there. After that, I washed the engine. Then, with a little help from my youngest, did a strip-wash. Once the car was dried, I applied Brilliant Glaze to the wheels and newly polished radiator. Lastly, I dressed the engine and tires with some regular VRT, as longevity isn't a concern on this car. Now she is sitting in the garage waiting for clay and polishing!

Schwag one Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 ^^ I'm being sarcastic. I complain about everything even the good. I've got the typical youngest child syndrome. We're moving because my wifes career choice is being transfered. All in all, its the best decision for my family and I. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich B. Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 Went grocery shopping this AM, brought in a bag of deposit cans and bottles. Took the pups for a walk on the trails, helped neighbor set a pileing for his retainer wall. Next had a cookout and went cycling through the woods. Getting ready to jump in the pool, hot as anything here too. Watch some TV and lights out. Hmmm, do this everyday, don't work anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LFairbanks Posted July 18, 2013 Share Posted July 18, 2013 Drove to Fairfax, and went to the Smithsonian Air and Space Museum. Some pretty cool planes in there. Got to see an SR-71 in person. My kid thought that was pretty cool. Got him some cool pictures and maybe get one framed along with the autograph he already has from a gentleman that he got to meet a while back that flew them. Seeing the Space Shuttle Discovery in person was pretty cool too. MAYBEN 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Slow Posted July 18, 2013 Share Posted July 18, 2013 (edited) Drove home in a downpour, 0.80 inch in about 30 minutes. I realized Glass Sealant has a useful life just like all products. I'll clay and reapply after the sun goes down. It's like a sauna out there right now. EDIT: Dang chubby fingers...

randyfox Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 Washed the 55 again after claying it yesterday. I was going to start polishing, but it was way too damn hot. Going to have to get at it early tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LFairbanks Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 Spent the day in the nations Capitol. What a zoo that place is. Was neat to see, but need a week or two to really see it. Was neat to see some of the war memorials and what not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hot_Wheel Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 Installed the radiator and oil-cooler guards on my Streetfighter, waterless washed it and hit it with the quick sealant in preparation for my trip to the MotoGP at Laguna Seca this weekend.

Captain Slow Posted July 20, 2013 Share Posted July 20, 2013 Washed the G8, blew her dry then Detail Spray wipe down. She's in the garage all neat and clean. Tomorrow after I get home from the office that thing is getting an interior detail. I'm sad to say I'm embarrassed at the state it's in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JBlack151 Posted July 20, 2013 Share Posted July 20, 2013 Survived the last of this heat giving some estimates for upcoming details and had my new Magnaflow exhaust installed. Going to throw some steaks in the grille with a few cold ones. Tomorrow I'm going to try and make it up to a show and say hello to a fellow Shine Freak you all know as GerryC.

LFairbanks Posted July 21, 2013 Share Posted July 21, 2013 Finally made it home 3 hours later than was supposed to. Bags got lost and should show up sometime today. I have 2 cars and a truck to wash today. Already looking forward to vacation next month and not having to do anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Slow Posted July 21, 2013 Share Posted July 21, 2013 I decided against fishing this morning and instead did dishes, ran a couple loads of laundry, went and gassed up the G8 and stopped to look at its likely replacement. On the way back the DuPage River called out to me so I wet my line for a half hour or so then home to coffee and breakfast. I joined my wife and children and went grocery shopping. Presently sitting on the deck enjoying this beautiful summer weather. The G8 interior is next on the agenda since my wife offered to vacuum it out for me. Yes, I hate vacuuming the most of anything car detailing related. In the house it's a different story; Dyson and I have a love affair going on.

crowvet Posted July 21, 2013 Share Posted July 21, 2013 Buffed out the lower "Blue" portion of my Motor Home... It is 31 feet long. So both sides the back and front... Yep about 80 feet of polishing. http:// MAYBEN and Captain Slow 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
