I love my Tiger, but its original paint scheme, while nice, had started to fade. I initially tried a paint restoration rather than a full repaint, but it quickly lost its luster. In 2022, I upgraded the interior with new leather, and last summer, I finally took the plunge and sent it to the paint shop. It should be done soon—though it’s taken months instead of the weeks I had hoped!
The first photo in this blog post is the nose art, which will be the final touch. I liked the original paint scheme, but I wanted something with more flair, so I designed a new scheme instead. The repainting process—mostly in order—includes stripping and applying paint from the lightest to the darkest layers. The bottom will be metallic plum, the top Cadillac white, and the accent color metallic copper. The interior is a tan and cherry leather with dark brown carpet.

It’s been a while since I’ve posted anything here. We took advantage of an opportunity to sail on the Ruby Princess in April 2014. Here’s a few stills from that voyage; Fort Lauderdale, Grand Turk, Princess Cays, and return to Ft Lauderdale. A perfect escape from the New England weather!Ruby Princess Cruise
Last weekend, my next door neighbor, Rob and another friend, Vince and I sailed from Newport, RI to Portsmouth, NH on Vince’s boat, Thora, a beautiful 36′ yawl. Thanks for the great trip, Vince. Lots of fun, great memories and spectacular sights!
I was recently flying with a lady who is a competitive sky-diver. She mentioned that during our layover in my home city, she would be going to an indoor ‘vertical’ wind tunnel. I mentioned that Becca LOVES the idea of indoor sky-diving and wanted to try. Kelly Woods kindly invited Becca to share some of her tunnel time.
I fear we’ve opened a can of worms that will be uncloseable in a few years.
Becca made the job chart today. Looks like she fortunately forgot how to spell D A D!
Good thing Dad wasn't home today! Becca designed a family job chart. Note Mom has two pins. That should be a compliment! Becca knows she can handle it!
Her little brother better get himself a lawyer. She’s 8 & He’s 5… with a LONG road ahead of him in this house, apparently!
While in Kauai in April of 2011, Pete, George, & Becca went on an ATV adventure – from the old sugar mill in Koloa, through the Wilcox tunnel to the eastern side of the ridge where the cane was grown – up to mountain waterfalls and lots of back-country 4-wheelin’!

This is a short video of that adventure, shot and edited completely on the iPhone 4.
