What are you doing today?

I think it is high time I got some books ready to go in PDF format and put them out to see if they will make any money.

not too hot here this morning and rain coming. Neighbor has 3 ft high johnson grass bordering my yard. they mow 2 or 3 times a year. I am about to cut down with loppers and bag, and spray roots with 30% vinegar I think, maybe put a chunk of pondliner on top to keep rain off and let any sun we get cook it. it's her empty lot, they mow a little patch by the front door.

What's the context? What books?

Got the title for my car signed over and notarized so that is all done and the car is gone.

Mini air pump showed up today so my trike toolkit is done. Everything fit the lock box perfectly. May not look like it but I could just about rebuild the trike with this kit.

Why just PDF format? Take a look at Calibre. Depending on the original file format it will output in eBook format. I believe when I used it to make an eBook for a neighbor the original was MS Office Word .DOC or .DOCX.

I will have to look at costs

Unless things have changed, and it looks like they have not, Calibre is free but accepts donations.

LOL! I'm getting silly. Just came across some mirrors I may have to get for my new electric trike. Mayhaps I'm going into my third childhood but I love these things and I DO have Harley stickers on the trike and a pair of mirrors only cost $16.00 USD.

<edit>
Actually I just ordered the mirrors and got even cheaper as there was a checkbox to get 15% off.

Your trike is cool. It can almost go as fast as a trotting horse.

Hmmm, how fast is a trotting horse? If I adjust the defaults the trike will do 28MPH.

 

[Fishmanic]

A thoroughbred racehorse can run as fast as 40mph
A trotting horse can go 4 to 12mph
A carousel horse goes about 10 mph.
A dead horse goes 0 mph.

What is the legal max speed you could go without registering the vehicle?

 

[Fishmanic]

Do you wear a helmet when riding your trike?

@jaylach
You should wear this t shirt when riding your trike.

What is the legal max speed you could go without registering the vehicle?

According to the police department my trike is considered a bicycle as to road requirements regardless of top speed, no registration needed even if I changed the setting to the max 28MPH. I mean this is ranch country and even smaller ATV's are considered street legal although an ATV with a gas engine of over 49cc DOES need registration and plates. Electric vehicals such as my trike seem to not have this requirement.

Do you wear a helmet when riding your trike?

I MAY pick up a helmet such as a normal bicycle helmet but have not as of yet. Will never go as far as to get a motorcycle helmet especially a full face. Full face helmets are just too dangerous as to causing base line skull fractures if the chin guard takes the impact. The total design is just bad...
