E bikes rock!
My Covid project was putting a 750-watt hub motor powered by a 35 amp controller and two inter-connected 48V batteries onto my step-thru e-bike. 26" x 4" Tanis armored tires, hydraulic brakes, front and back suspension, and a host of other modifications means that I pretty much use it as an electric motorcycle. It's been 4 years of fun so far and never fails to leave a stupid grin on my face.

Re: How to Change Your Mind
Why do we always have to go into the spiritual benefits of hallucinogenics? Why can't we just get high and be happy with that?

@Jeroen if you think you have a problem, spare a thought for the Aussies...

Grrr
Anybody else here ever seduced into using mindfulness as a sword and/or shield? As in thinking about troublesome emotions or people and saying, "I'll show you! I'm about the mindful the hell out of this place!" 
Re: Just for fun: the random, useless announcements thread!
On my jolk along the beach this morning, there were quite a few dogs who had brought their human companions (hcs) out for a walk...
Two big burly dogs (Brothers or Sisters or a mix of both-not sure of their breed, boxer-like face, short haired and patchy dark and light chocolate brown in colour ) were bounding in and out of the water, I see them on the beach most mornings...
A couple of non locals walking in the opposite direction said to the dogs hc, "Hope you don't let the dogs crap in the ocean...If they do you need to clean it up..." ( one of the dogs must have looked like it was)..and the response from the hc, was "Piss off back to Auckland" ...
I must admit I was waiting for him to add "Jaffa" to the end of it, (it's what kiwis from other parts of the country call people from Auckland city,...which means Just Another F... wit From Auckland) and that would have been a classic response from an islander...

I present to you… the Welsh Tidy Mouse! Unfortunately my own uninvited houseguest has shown no such notions. But perhaps they are not all bad.

Re: The Other Elephant In The Room
Every time I start to write about this. words fail me. The senselessness and sheer brutality bring tears to my heart. It is not enough, but my prayers go to/for the people impacted by this war, by all the wars raging upon this planet of ours.
Prayers for compassion 
Prayers for mercy
Prayers for peace
Peace to all
