The Boxster is Back!!!!

Posted by semaj in Porsche, Social

Just wanted to say that I picked up the Boxster yesterday. Service overall was terrible on the repairs and pickup procedure, but with some hard work yesterday and a stop by Road Race Tech this morning… and the Boxster is roadworthy and running better than ever.

Will commence normal social activity later this week. I am beat.

No changes in a while

Posted by semaj in Porsche, Thoughts, Getting in Shape, Social

Well, I hadn’t written anything in a while. SO I guess I should say a bit of something.
Basically, most of my life is at a standstill. Still no car… just more waiting for parts. I don’t think I will be getting it back anytime soon.
As to the rental… it is now pretty much costing me out of pocket… so I really am just getting buried in costs… so I really don’t want to go out and spend money… or take chances of doing anything to the rental that I would have to deal with.
I didn’t do any training last week… so I will try to get myself back this week.
Pretty much have been blowing everyone off… but I don’t really care to be around people when I don’t have my stuff together… and right now… I don’t really have anything together.

The only thing that has been really positive is that I have pushed myself to learn a new scripting language. Yeap… took the Ruby plunge… it is pretty cool.. and gives me a new view of how to solve some of my programming tasks. Hopefully I can learn how to do some basic GUI programming soon… which would go along way to rounding out my skills set.

Later….
