Laughing gas did not make me laugh…

This is kinda stupid I know but this is the only place I can think of where people would have the type of experiences to share some advice

I’m a very experienced person when it comes to the classic psychedelics (this is where it gets kind of dumb) I just went to the dentist got put on laughing gas and at first eh nothing to bad but then major anxiety set in and I managed to keep my self calm which then sent me into a pretty euphoric state

But then all these weird thoughts started to flow… I had this vivid dream of one of my employees and I walked up behind him said his name as if he was a sight for sore eyes I grabbed his shoulder from behind turned him around and said his name with a surprised expression… he was like “I’m not [his name]…” and walked away

The point of this: I got home a few hours ago but I was filled with rage… I wanted to punch something so bad then it got so bad I balled up and clinched my fists like an idiot and started grunting bc the anger was to much to bare…

After that I kind of came down and started thinking of things that happened like 15 fuckin years ago…. Shit that doesn’t even matter is now news to me

I feel really annoyed and angry and I just fucking HATE everything right now like everything I look at just pisses me off to no end for no reason! Even typing this is getting old…

When is this going to end? I don’t feel high at all just mad at everything.. I never even wanted to be gassed… I didn’t even know it was going to happen until I got there I had like 4 hours of sleep before that and my god I just can’t stop fucking complaining about everything…

I know we all have different reactions to the same things and all which isn’t surprising to me that I have a less common yet still kind of common idfk… side effect

Please god tell me this will end soon and I’m not stuck like THIS I’ve def had quite a few negative experiences on shrooms or acid that followed me for days so I’m guessing it might kind of be like that?… now I just feel drained… no energy I get 2 days off a week and I just can’t stop thinking about how this day and possibly tomorrow will just be wasted and I’ll be thrown back into the work loop once again… I don’t even usually think like this

And worst of all as I’m sitting here time is wasting I need to go make money thru door dash but it’s 102 degrees in hell rn and I just can’t bring my self to go out there but if I don’t I’m fucked…
Idk why I’m even mentioning that… ugh

E bike conversion?

Has anyone here put an engine on an e bike?
I feel like a predator 79cc would probably fit the frame with some adjustments

What it looks like I’m going to have to do is remove all the wires electric motor controller and replace the rear wheel with a regular wheel

I wonder if I could just hollow out the motor and use it as a big wheel bearing but idk if it’s even with doing
But I do think it would be very worth it in the end but I also wonder if the frame would even hold up to 3.5 horsepower.. probably would 🤔

79cc predator jack shaft??

Idk what the correct term is for the shaft that connects the chain to the opposite side to drive the wheel… but anyway where can I find one compatible with a predator 79cc engine? I’m very familiar with these engines I know they can produce a decent amount of power and they fit right into the Oklahoma engine size law for street legality.. as well being a 4 stroke which is more appealing for me

From mid shift to night shift to mid shift and mornings…

How long does it take to adjust and feel normal again? I did cap 2 for 2 years became an over night lead hated it spent 11 months doing that and now I’m back to cap 2 but as a lead this time
(Sorry if that was confusing)

Anyway point is I’m majorly struggling with no energy confusion lack of motivation basically just dragging on to get things done

I get a good amount of sleep 8-9 hours a night but I wake up exhausted and it takes an hour or two for the cortisol spike to wake me up but then as that fades I’m left feeling tired again and thru out the day I just can’t wait to get off work…

I still push my self to do what I enjoy when I’m off but lord… why do I feel 50 at 24?? I when I do get home all I want to do is sleep again but that will destroy my sleep schedule..

I work 2-11 3 days out of each week and 7-4 2 days out of the week

So far I line the job it’s not that bad at all but I wonder how long it could take for me to readjust to a normal life again

If you want a cool adventure on your bike

I recommend going and checking out ladonia Tx if your close enough to get there

I was about 2 hours away from it and surprisingly it’s definitely a weird rural town if you go deep enough there’s an old cemetery out in the middle of some pasture lands tons of abandoned houses and best of all long rural county dirt roads where very very little traffic comes thru

I do recommend having good suspension and good tires as the eastern terrain of Texas can be very sandy rocky watery and you get to experience all the elements

Early in the morning just before sunrise or a couple of hours before will set you up for some very scenic views

Do be carful for bugs.. dogs.. cows.. and the occasional broken bottles on the road and do be aware that there really isn’t any stores in easy assess (I had to walk down the side of a 70 mph FM road granted I was able to keep a distance between me and the road for the most part)

E bike news..

I’ve had to cut out news on e bikes which is annoying because I still need to know what is happening legally because it does affect me..
the problem is people post nothing but click bait the same thing over and over again and most of the time are misleading or really unimportant

The main reason I cut out news related to e bikes is because it just seems to be fear mongering non stop I kind of realized as they are blowing up the feed with this it’s actually very peaceful outside…

90% of what I see is related to throttles or speed limits or something a long the lines of “kids riding surrons getting e bikes banned” I can just google the current laws so that’s not a problem but why does everything have to revolve around fear to stay relevant?

Cycling on shrooms

So I finally did it.. I finally rode a bicycle on mushrooms! It’s been something I’ve always wanted to do but never had a bike to with or the right place but I recently got E-bikes which has majorly improved my life style

Me and my gf took an unknown amount of shrooms (I quit weighing them a long time ago and started gauging it by eye) we Prepped some lemon tek for 30 minutes and then made the 10 minute drive to the trail

When we go there I unloaded the bikes and set up and then we drank the juice
We hit the throttle and went about 8 mph just cruising along for about 15 minutes and then I could tell it was starting to hit me

I saw a bridge in the distance and the bridge had a house in the distance on a hill and that entire area was illuminated by an old street light that turned purple (that do that when they get old) I thought to my self “WOAH?! We’re going there?!!” I was amazed shit looked like dark souls or something.. going along this long dark gravel trail and seeing a big castle In the distance…

We kept riding and everything felt pretty normal until I noticed the grass was making these weird zig zag patterns and the gravel was moving around

I saw the gravel swarm like Ants and it distracted me and sent me into a day dream where I couldn’t actually see I front of me and then reality did this weird shift and I snapped back into it and swerved a bit regaining my awareness…
That kind of scared me and I thought “can I keep going?” And I figured I had my senses about me so I continued on

This one patch in the gravel really started swarming like bugs and it looked cool but I just kept paying attention to what was infront of me

At this point everytime we would stop for a moment I felt all of my energy just deplete slowly and if we set there long enough I would zone out forget to even breath and basically just shut down like an engine running out of gas
My gf noticed this and asked if I was okay to which I replied while now breathing heavy “yeah… I just need.. to keep… going…” so we did and my energy came back I got more talkative again and felt much better

But she kept wanting to stop for some real which was getting annoying because we usually don’t and the shut down mode was very uncomfortable

At one point we stopped for like the 50th time and I was getting very paranoid because the park technically closed at 10pm and we were there at 2:00 am… (it’s a trail that connects to multiple parks thru out the city there’s not really a way to actually close it and people are all over it anyway) I kept trying to keep going but she wanted to sit there and asked why I can’t just sit here for a minute

We argued back and fourth and she was like “all you want to do in life is go.. just sit here and enjoy it”
I replied “but I want to move it doesn’t feel good to stay here…”
And she said “but look around us… there’s no one here”

This changed everything for me and I became less willing to move from there
We talked did I think 15 minutes and then went on we both noticed that the entire park was empty…(we had ridden 8 miles at this point) there’s usually late night joggers bikers or people illegally riding dirt bikes or homeless people… but it was completely different this time no one at all

As we rode on the dark woods kind of creeped me out so I turned on the Bluetooth speaker and that totally changed everything again

The bike felt great in my hands and felt good to sit on surprisingly the sjrooms stopped my ass from hurting like it usually does I felt like I could sit on that seat for days

I started to think about a friend I had to cut off for saying some really weird shit and I thought “oh gkd what kind of weirdo found his way into my life?… it always kinda seemed like he was planning on.. raping me or something” that really freaked me out and then this scene of me and him on that trail that we used to bike on played in my head he was holding a shotgun and I turned around to see bro locking his lips and staring at me with this look… he said “got you now you sexy little blonde bitch” and then I said “well damn… this is how I’m going out” and then he shot me and I was dying and thinking about how my gf and my family would never know what happened to me…

That really stuck with me and still kind of has.. it’s one of those things with psychedelics you have to be carful with thankfully I am okay and I’m not really letting all that get to me and I try not to think about it…

I realized the trip might be turning bad and to avoid that I started talking to my gf about what was happening and then I decided to stop thinking about it because it was very negative and scary… this worked very well I used what I’ve learned and practiced in my everyday life and I used mindfulness

Feeling much much better and nearly forgetting what I experienced we rode on

I remember riding along and thinking about identity and how I left my wallet at the truck but then figured I didn’t need it anyway.. Imagined my drivers license and thought “how do they even know that’s really me?” What ever that means
Then I felt like I wasn’t me I couldn’t figure out who I was I didn’t know anything about my self not even my name… so I thought “come on me where are you?” And then scenes of me digging in this universe with my hands looking for my self as I kept turning into different characters I would rummage around and then stop because I had turned into an animal or something then a surgeon then pomni from the amazing digital circus.. and then I dig again and turned into the tree that’s on angry orchard apple ale boxes…

And then finally I was turned back into my self again.. the self I lost while working over night for a year the self I lost from all the anger I was going thru in a toxic work place the loneliness I felt when all my friends stopped being available at all due to life’s obligations… the self I lost that used to take care of him self that wasn’t so socially anxious that wasn’t so depressed and just genuinely unhappy

But I also realized how much control I’ve actually achieved over my mind I can actually cope with serious anxiety and depression now I’ve gotten a really really fun hobby that gets me out into the sunlight I’m working regular hours again and next year Ill be able to move out of this apartment that I hate so much because of the area it’s in is not a safe or comfortable place

I don’t feel strong after glows anymore I just feel like a normal happy person and my imagination is much less full of negativity

I stepped outside today and just breathed man… god that moment felt so good I feel good to just be alive and exist I’m glad I was born

The music was so good it seemed to make the entire experience much more positive the city looked beautiful as we came up on it we both noticed it looked static lights were fuzzy

Nothing creepy happened or anything and we turned back at about 5:30 or 6:00 am (we set off at 1:30 originally) got back to the truck at 7:45 and the trip was well over at that point so we drove home hit the bed and crashed hard and slept for I think about 10 hours

It’s been a couple years since my last trip I’ve definitely tried to trip but the shrooms weren’t very good this how ever was amazing

No one wants to go over 5 mph?..

So Ive rode with 3 different people and all of them seem to constantly fall behind and often stay really far behind for some reason

I don’t go very fast about 10-15 mph to save battery and just cruise around for fun on trails not really into street riding anymore

One guy was terrified of breaking the bike.. he waited until 3 months of owing it to actually go into P5 and test that out he wouldn’t ride thru grass.. he wouldn’t ride it if the weather wasn’t nearly perfect… he wouldn’t ride on gravel even tho it was a far tire e bike with off road tread… it was an Amyet 1000w fat tire e bike and he would usually just peddle it at 5 mph i wonder why he didn’t just get a regular bicycle at that point

Second guy was very inexperienced but very experienced with regular bicycles but that one I didn’t really mind as much because… I’d be kind of an a**hole to be impatient with a beginner but I was surprised that he only wanted to go 5mph the entire time I went about 7 because it was hard to keep balance at 5 lol

Now that I have a second bike me and my gf ride around which is nice and I got her to get with the idea of keeping up and she does that well

But after I tried following someone in mine it was kind of nice? For some reason to just follow a leader brings a strange sense of comfort… even tho I know those trails very well it just seems more content to follow behind someone

Why people fall behind about 40 yards while I’m at 10 mph I don’t know… and when I come to a complete stop mention it and we agree to stay side by side or at least within a 6 foot radius so we can communicate they still somehow fall behind and at this point I can tell their going slightly faster
But even when I try to force my self to go 5mph they keep hitting the brakes… wheh i ask why they say “oh I was trying not to pass you” at that point I’m lost… idek

It’s really not that big of a deal but it’s more of a curiosity thing for me I think it might come from then worrying about sudden stops but usually I veer off to the side and slowly stop to make myself more predictable or I’ll just signal that with my hand

Anyone else have this experience? Or do your group or duo riders stay with you? Haven’t done a trio or four person ride yet but I’d like to once I get my Hurley BS2 to work again (that doesn’t mean big swell 2 btw… but that is what it is lol)

Why is FB marketplace so hard to buy on but so easy to sell?

I’ve bought and sold quite a few things on FB marketplace but for some reason when I’m selling something I get flawless response times that would even surpass 911…

But when I’m buying something I swear money makes these people into Himalayan monks that hate money

What really gets me is when they you say “hey I’m interested in the XXL thong” and they reply “okay” and then noting.. and then minutes turn to hours and I eventually move on

And then 6 hours later “hey you still interested?” Reply: “yes absolutely what time?” And then…. Silence

Why even post it if you can’t respond? They say about 90% of the time when this happens your probably not getting the deal and that is true but I’m extremely persistent and managed to get what I wanted took 3 days but I actually got an address finally and got the E bike i wanted…

When I sell things of I don’t have the time in that moment I will send a detailed message with an attached plan and actually go thru with it costumer service is important! And I turn on notifications when I’m selling something

I usually sell things within 1-3 days and it always goes well but god forbid if I try to buy something thru face book marketplace can’t we just have a separate app for marketplace?

What are the odds…

So I went to the longest bike trail in Texas (the NETT) which is one and a half hours away from me

So for this adventure i decided to get what I needed in case of a flat tire

Well I rode thru a specific puddle 11.5 miles into the 133 mile long trail and then I felt something different… down I stare at a flat back tire! Shock set in but determination set in faster

I was not about to let this trip end so easily
So I got to work I tried pumping it with air which only held up to about 10 PSI so I thought “valve stem?” And yes it was the stem… and the actual inner tube as well… double problem
So I whipped out my slime bottle and by pure chance I got the one with the valve stem tool built into the cap

So I unscrewed the valve cap and put half of the bottle of slime in and of course that didn’t work… so I tried again and put the rest of the slime in which worked well but now I had another problem… the bead was now out of place ( sometimes with fat bike tires The bead will come out of place in one area and won’t fully set because the air pressure is not high enough at fast enough speed) but I noticed that the inner tube was scrunched not to far from the where the valve stem is.. so I tried to get it to loosen up but it wouldn’t…

So I started to massage the bead of the tire firmly and i started to pump the air as fast as I possibly could and lifted the bike off the ground as I was filming the tire and it worked and the bead set in and the tire held air and I rode on… then on my way back I crashed in a puddle which was funny but I crashed with some grace then about 8 miles away from my truck my front tire went flat 😐

That one thankfully only needed air I was out of slime so that would’ve been a very very long walk but I made it thru

90% throttle 10% peddling. efficiency?

I rode at mostly 10 mph and peddled on hills most of the time out powering the peddle assist (PA3) used hills and coasting to my advantage and managed about 36 miles on my TST-R002

If your new to E bikes like me and want to use a throttle but obviously don’t want it to die do this

I was on a mostly flat trail but being Texas we have lots of hills (I’m sure it would be a breeze here for those of you from California or other hilly areas)

Lots of fun oh! I almost forgot about 2 hours if that ride I did have my head light on so that probably took a few miles of range

The bike did stop giving any power output about 1.9 miles away from my destination (2 way trip) so I let it sit with the battery off for about 10 minutes fired it back up and went on my way in P2 at 10 mph and kept peddling up hills

And yes my a** absolutely hurts

NOT A REVIEW. My opinion on the TST-R002

I’ve only owned it for two days and ridden it 65 miles so I have not owned it long enough to give a quality review.

Price was $653 including tax on Amazon free shipping

So far I love it it feels good feels like riding a minibike the front fork and handle bars really give me a nostalgic feel of when I used to ride minibikes when I was a kid

The bikes size for me as a six foot male at 130 pounds with very long legs is perfect for me
The weight of the bike I’m not sure of but I live upstairs it is very heavy but that’s just what happens when you have an e bike it’s not overly heavy you can tell they cut as much weight as possible (not in a cheap way)

Speed.. everyone’s first question rightfully so “will I be able to get out if the way fast enough for a car?” You definitely can it’s extremely quick and is very back heavy so it likes to try to pop wheelies constantly
Keep that in mind when on hills
My friend who weighs 180 also noticed the front end try’s to come of the ground frequently

I wish it came with a bell.. it comes with no bell and no horn but that’s a cheap fix obviously

My back brake rotor came in bent which I was not happy about but it’s an $8 fix… still not impressed with that part there was no signs of shipping damage but you never know what could’ve caused that

Seat is very comfortable but it does hurt after a couple of hours

Brakes work well they are mechanical brakes not hydraulic but they still perform well but I could imagine hydraulic brakes would be much much more suitable especially for speeds above 20 mph
There is no such thing as instantly stoping any moving vehicle of any kind safely but the goal is to minimize as much distance between you and what your trying to avoid as quickly as possible without loss of traction
The brakes do provide this decently could be slightly better but I’m being as critical as possible

The tires are great I’m glad they went with a smaller wheel it saves weight and it’s easier on take off battery mileage etc

Battery.. remember I have only owned a TST r004 for 2 days and ridden it 65 miles I can not speak on quality or over all battery range over time
As for day 1 the battery has amazing range I went 15 miles one way and 10 back in day 1 battery still held nearly full charge
The second day was much more intense a long trail a 4 hour ride and 20 miles one way and 20 miles back lots of hills up and down long flat trails for the most part
Battery only went down to roughly 60% (there is no numerical battery percentage gauge it has a “health bar” (5 lines to reference battery percentage)

It takes a while to charge I have not had it fully die and i do not plan on letting it fully die on purpose because I want it to last longer… but from a little above half charge it took about 4 hours in total it would likely take 6-7 hours maybe 8 if completely dead but that is not recommended to do to a lithium battery

Charger seems pretty sturdy it’s got some weight to it

The bike was packaged well but was EXTREMELY tight! Very very hard to get out of the box which was frustrating
The front fender screw to mount it to the front fork was WAY WAY TO TIGHT! So was the *Philips head* bolt to hold the gear shifter! I really hate that

The throttle is a push down throttle gets annoying on bumpy terrain it feels like a good throttle but I could see it braking eventually if you put to much pressure after hitting a bump
The throttle was installed on the left side by default I didn’t like that so I switched it to the right side but could not get the shifter loose so just slid it over and placed the throttle where I needed it (I don’t recommend doing this because you could easily brake the weak plastic shifter housing) yes the shifter housing isn’t very thick and is slightly flimsy

I have laid the bind down one time but it was at a stop
As I pulled the throttle I turned to sharp and the bike did hit the ground so be carful because you can turn as sharp as you want a full 360 is possible with this bike or at least close to it

I’ve read and looked around it it seems that after market parts are easy to find for this bike
I think the motor does have a housing it fits into but I’m not sure yet and don’t plan on taking it apart to see yet
If it does then that does mean you don’t be able to tell how hot the motor actually is but it should run at about 75 degrees

The weather was hot it was an 85 degree day in Texas

It handles well it’s fast and sometimes scary how fast it can take off it has a true top speed of 28 mph which can be easily pushed further but the motor will cut off at 28 do not believe the people saying it can go 35 mph it might be capable of it but I’ve really tried and have not succeeded in getting it past 28 in a flat road

I have no idea what the actual wattage is
It claims “1500w” on Amazon but the sticker on the frame says 750w obviously wattage is highly misleading in ebike marketing but it feels very powerful so either the gear ratio is made for take off more then getting to high speed or it actually does exceed 750 watts in some way (either at take off or under load in general take off even on flat ground is still a load of downward force that the bike must be able to propel forward)

If I only had 2 days with my TST r002 I can say I’m fully satisfied but I will obviously own it much much longer than that

I will make a quality review at 500 miles
There are to many out of box reviews out there and YouTube videos of people putting it together and instantly saying it’s the best bike you could buy
Not just sponsored videos or creators even small channels do this too

Anyway that was my opinion on the TST r004

Bought this for $400

I paid $400 for this bike and expected that there would be some problems and actually I’m pretty willing to figure out what’s wrong with it because this is a way to learn some valuable skills
(No I am absolutely not going to take the battery apart to solve this because that’s obviously extremely dangerous)

So the problems it has are 1 the front brake doesn’t work it either needs to be adjusted or needs to be bled and refilled with oil
2 (the main problem) the battery seems to be either unbalanced or has a dead cell or multiple dead cells… (or multiple unbalanced cells) it only charges to 63% (it finally charged to 65% after 12 hours…)
3 the controllers odometer doesn’t display the miles for some reason.. the trip meter still works so I’m guessing it’s either a sensor or a problem with the controller doesn’t really matter much but I do worry that the controller will eventually give up but maybe it’s just a simple sensor idk

The charger looks like it had gum stuck to it and had tape over a part of it for no *apparent* reason….

I’m pretty sure the kid I bought it off of has rich parents (he’s apparently been thru a few dirt bikes and now this and is going to get another dirt bike or something) apparently he had it for only 2 or 3 months
It seems to have had about 115 miles on it but again the odometer doesn’t work so… no telling what it actually is…

But anyway I am planning on buying a new charger first to see if that works if this battery won’t balance and if that doesn’t work I guess I’ll keep the old one as my “get home” battery

I’m not complaining at all like I said I paid $400 for a $1200 bike I’m not at all surprised I like to buy projects I used to buy old worn out minibikes or small engines from scrap yards and rebuild and sell them

Also looks like the stock battery’s are about $599 (damn) I found aftermarket ones for $200 on Amazon anyone know if their any good?

Oh my god…

Malabar coast ISO spore syringe in a grain spawn bag

It’s been rhizomorphic since day 4 and has stayed that way but in my past grows I never saw more then Tomentose growth patterns that would eventually become slightly rhizomorphic

Can’t wait to see where this goes
