had a bit of a fun adventure going shopping in town today

half way there, the rear disc brake, the immobile pad on one side, popped out and rolled down the hill as i was braking and i couldn't stop fast enough to see where it went lol

oh dear... now only have the front brake and i know it's getting close to the end as well.. fortunately i have got some coming but i may have underestimated how much i would need them, probably gonna order another pair just to be sure to be sure

also discovered that the controller can be programmed to actually use the throttle, and start from zero with it

only problem is something intermittently makes it cut out for a moment which is really annoying when on a long slow climb

other than that, i now have the shampoo with the black seed oil, and it now also has a tube of permethrin cream and povidone-iodine mixed in with it, and it's gonna be my primary whole body wash... the black seed oil seems to be pretty amazing all by itself, and i think the advertised purpose of it is balancing skin oil production so ... seems to me like a good combo for thinning down the flock of microscopic mites on my skin as well... and i also recall never having seen my hair look so shiny and silky as with using this shampoo, this should take it up another level

i think the thing with the stupid throttle must obviously be a loose connection somewhere, so i'll probably go check over everything and make sure there isn't a loose thing somewhere, could even be the main rear wheel drive power cable is a bit loose

the other thing is i now also want a 350W motor in the back wheel, and i wish i could also have regenerative, cos with these crazy hills, it makes total sense to have more than two brakes working for you, imagine if i'd been flying along at 40km/h down a steep slope and suddenly lose my main brakes, was lucky i was going pretty slow actually
