This is the one I'm considering getting for my TT Tour 2. https://store.bicycleman.com/products/terratrike-seat-mesh-padded-for-comfort. I haven't found any reviews online. Does anyone here have experience with this product? Like everyone else, I want butt cushioning, resistance to slipping forward, and lumbar support. Thanks!
Hi, I'm new to triking -- I got my TT Tour 2 last weekend. Just wanted to share info and pictures re: a couple of accessories that are working well for me.
I was happy to find that the Axiom rear rack from my regular bike fits my trike perfectly without any additional special hardware. Its front arms not only telescope forward about 12 inches but also swivel down when they're fully extended and are bendy enough to spread wide enough to be bolted to the backrest supports. I am pretty sure that this is the rack: https://benscycle.com/products/axiom-journey-rear-rack
To prevent sliding forward on the seat, I repurposed a kayaking seat cushion I already had called Sweet Cheeks. It's kind of a beanbag. You puff it up with air, shake it side to side to evenly distribute the pellets, and then sit on it and suck the air out of it, and it molds to the shape of your butt. It's as effective on my TT seat as it has been in my boats, which is very! https://jacksonkayak.com/sweet-cheeks-200-black/
The guy was selling a new-in-package wetsuit jacket at a really good price. I messaged asking when I could come see it, and added that I would definitely buy it if it fit me. He said I could come to his antique fair stall on Sunday or meet at a set time in the town where he lived on Monday (today). I opted for today and met him at his storage unit. He asked if I would be willing to help him move a big headboard -- presumably an antique he had bought on Sunday -- from his U-haul truck into his unit if he took $20 off the price of my jacket. I admired his resourcefulness and was happy to make that deal. We chatted like two buds the whole time we were moving that thing. Pretty pleasant experience!
That was a bananas foster.
Hate the din, love the dinner.
The "ann" in "anniversary" means "year." If something happened 10 years ago today, today is the 10th anniversary of it, not the "10-year anniversary" of it.
Edit: This is a way to highlight text that matches a string identified dynamically in the app -- via a text input or in some other way. It's more targeted than using Ctrl+F in the browser UI.
I hope this is helpful to someone. I was really excited when this solution popped into my head.
A year or so ago, I had come up with what is shown in the second screenshot, where the gallery text is in all caps: Convert the whole text to uppercase, then replace instances of the filter text (uppercased) with span tags with yellow background containing the filter text (also uppercased). Not ideal, but it was the only way I knew of to get all matches for the specified text regardless of what case they have in the source.
Yesterday, I came up with the variation shown in the first screenshot, where the gallery text is in mixed case. This approach highlights the matches regardless of case and allows the displayed text to have its original case. There are trade-offs. Notably, the displayed text has to be in a monospace font, but IMO it's better than making it all uppercase (or all lowercase). It also doesn't work if the HTML text control is very wide (Edit: If it's too wide, the highlights might not align with the matched text). In my example, it's 700, and that works fine.
The trick is to use two HTML text controls, one layered exactly on top of the other.
I can share a zip file of my demo app on request. Just message me with your email address. But here are the operative bits:
This is the HtmlText property of ParagraphHTML:
/*
Put a non-breaking space ( ​ ) before the div; otherwise, inline CSS may not be applied to the first item in the gallery.
Apply a monospace font family to the div -- I am using Conolas -- so the spacing and widths of characters will be the same in ParagraphHTML and ParagraphHighlightsHTML even though they have different capitalization.
*/
"&#8203;<div style='font-family: Consolas'>" & ThisItem.Value & "</div>"
And this is the HtmlText property of ParagraphHighlightsHTML:
/*
Working outward from the innermost piece:
Start with ParagraphHTML.HtmlText.
Lowercase it: Lower(ParagraphHTML.HtmlText)
Use the substitute function on that to replace
TextInput1.Text (lowercased)
with
TextInput1.Text (lowercased) wrapped in a span tag with a yellow background.
Wrap the whole thing in a span tag that makes the text transparent so only the background color of each substituted span is visible.
*/
"<span style='color: transparent;margin:0;padding:0'>"&Substitute(Lower(
ParagraphHTML
.HtmlText),Lower(
TextInput1
.Text),"<span style='background-color: #fff59d'>"&
TextInput1
.Text&"</span>")&"</span>"
(Fear of fucking around, finding out, and missing out)
I will be pretty impressed if anyone here can identify the reference.
My pal Happy was supposed to be a mini dachshund -- his pedigree even says that's what he is -- but his mom seems to have had a JRT on the side. Anyway, he's a wonderful dog, hyper-affectionate and loaded with quirks.
"Sorry, no. I'm not in a huge rush to sell, and I think ___ is already a really good price. Thank you!"
In the past few weeks, I've sent this in response to a few lowball offers (where the initial message was simply a dollar amount 50% to 75% of what I was asking and a question mark). In two of those cases, they replied saying they would buy at my asking price (and did).
I don't know how different the result would have been if I'd said something more blunt or not replied, but in any case I like my sentence -- it's friendly and non-judgmental.
I went kayaking on the American River today from just downstream of Troublemaker. I was in entirely the wrong kind of kayak for this, and I took three swims not far apart. A raft captain with a raft full of customers helped me recover from the last swim. Once I was righted and back in my craft, he said the price of the assistance was to tell the crew a joke, and I told one. Was he checking whether I was in my right mind after being immersed in cold water? If so, he really did it in the nicest way. (Thanks, Mike!)
Off the top of my head: hair.
Presuming that they do a sketch or WU spot about the visit of Charles and Camilla, I think Candice Bergen would be great as Camilla. She looks the part at least, and her recent five-timer cameo suggests that she would be up for it.
