Random Thought Thread

Like about three hours ago, I successfully did a factory whipe out, seeing about my text messages where funky and a few other things, I could figure out even lag sometimes not due to wifi, so I did it in a solid hour, I just hooked it up with my tablet and I was happy, because I am near my pc, and I just figured out the emails would of been lose but it saved my emails handle!!!


Yeah the air is so muggy out and it is so dry heat... Glad I am not going out today..

E-Bikes

I rode following my mowing. It was simply terrible out. When I left the office, my station said it felt like 108° outside. Temps in the mid to high nineties with the humidity around 70% with a double digit mph wind takes the fun right out of riding. I saw zero people on my 40 mile trek. I came home and fixed dinner with no intentions of additional riding. After dinner, I settled down to watch some baseball and noticed that the wind had died down some and the temperature had dropped into the upper eighties. What the hell.. why not. I went riding again. I still didn't see anyone on the sidewalk but it wasn't nearly so miserable out. I rode another 42 miles and put the bike up.

I'm really happy with the performance of my bike. Getting that heavy tire off the back wheel has helped my mileage. I also think the latest motor is a bit more battery kind. I don't have the upgraded controller installed and that is also helping with the mileage. The new brakes might be gaining me a bit too. Between all of the new variables, I'm getting at least ten miles additional riding per charge.

Speaking of additional miles, the 20th of July will be the anniversary of riding this bike.
The last anniversary, I rode 10,763 miles that year for a 29.49 miles per day average. So far this year, I have around 9,600 on the RCS and 2,000 on the Aquila. With almost a month yet to ride, I will shatter last year's average. The first year's average is all skewed because I had my heart attack and had to wait three month before I was cleared to ride again. To increase that average each year makes me feel like I'm giving it my best shot.

Fatalities - 2026

I stumbled across this list from the first half of 2026 and was surprised how many we had missed, including some really notable names. The list itself is "over-complete" as it names a couple of people twice. (I mean sure, EW isn't exactly the epitome of journalism, but don't they have some interns they could charge with at least reading through the names to be sure they aren't double-counted?)

Yeah EW is very weak writing.. Seriously I stopped scrolling midway.
