New E-trike and Bike Brain

This long time bike, recumbent, ebike rider just got a new Meet One Breeze Pro e-trike. My expectation was I'd just get on it and ride it like I stole it. That didn't work out and I quickly discovered there is a learning curve especially for long term riders like me whose brain needs to readjust.

When the trike is on a street that slopes to the right or left it feels all wrong because on your bike you would be perpendicular. You and your trike however will be leaning in the direction of the slope and your brain alerts you something is unstable when it is actually fine.

This is easily overcome with just some time on the e-trike retraining yourself. I'm really enjoying the experience so far.

Whole Foods Pizza Dough

I normally make my own dough cold ferment over 2 or 3 days and it works great for my preferred pizza style. I'm always looking for a store bought dough that compares to mine in terms of results and an easy to stretch dough that doesn't fight me.

The online frozen doughs are usually good but expensive. Store bought dough seems a mixed bag. Publix sold the worst dough I recall trying but Trader Joe's is just okay and Aldi dough can be decent. I've never bought dough from a local pizza place but I should probably try that some day.

My big surprise was trying dough from Whole Foods. It came fresh, not frozen and there was enough to make two 280g dough balls with some left over. Warmed at room temp for a few hours it was lovely to work with and stretched out nicely. It baked up as expected with nice browning and charring.

This was my first time in Whole Foods. I'm not a Bezos fan but they sell good pizza dough.

A fellow bari player who posts on Ukulele Underground put together his dream combo of baritone strings featuring some very unusual choices like a wound D string from a Lute.

He got Strings By Mail to offer this set for sale. LINK

I have no connection with this except my curiosity and I may buy a set for myself.
