Another day colder than yesturday. Playing with electrical stuf. Watched a youtube video of a guy taking his Tesla battery off for some reason, opened it up, fiddled with it, put it back in the car... now he's got a $60,000 boat anchor. I don't know why people want to put stuff on youtube that shows how stupid they are, but sometimes it's entertaining.

yep...that's bushy eyed and bright tailed. Talk about being bored...have my kid's 2000 something Ford Focus beater car here to fix the rear spoiler, clay bar , buff and wax it. Tired of looking at tax numbers most of the week. Need some "hands on" car work to relax. I get to use the new orbital buffer that I bought....

Yep...that's the one I have. Should have bought one years ago, when I was doing cars. Bought a $250 Makita 8" one then...dangerous in inexperienced hands but does a great job. Had to do a lot of sanding and buffing on single stage urethane on a couple cars I painted myself. Base/clear just never looked right on old cars...lots of surface shine but no depth.

Afternoon all.

I use a buffer on the car and my hands on the bike.
