The voice commands for Android Music work when I'm in motion riding my bicycle. The winds today are intermittant and soft from the E to W at about 5 - 7MPH.
I used a 19mm damaged nut socket on the connector bar between the suspension and stabilizer bar. With the breaker bar, the bolt snapped. So, I took the bicycle to O'Reilly Auto Parts in Painesville Township of Lake County and purchased replacements for both sides.
The new file moving app will place additional power demands on my smartphone as it queries a few of my music directories ever 15 minutes for new MP3 files and moves them to the main Audio directory on my external microSDXC card. I've been having a problem with Google Music. It will save to my external microSDXC card, but only to Google Music's directory. This app is too difficult to switch between songs, genres and albums when I'm driving, or otherwise in motion. The Android stock app does this better. But the stock app won't scan the Google directory and update the list of songs. So, I'm trying a new app that should detect them every 15 minutes and automatically move them.
If I am to try dieting while hiking, I need to run some controlled experiments first. Usually dieting is not recommended while hiking, but this is true for more rigorous trails like the Appalachian. The Buckeye could be used for weight loss, I just have to find out how my caloric intake handles hiking 30 mile days.
I took the bicycle out for a two mile round trip to the convenience store and back. The truing on the rear wheel and the USB generator worked. It's like I'm 2 for 2 today and I'm surprised that they didn't give me any trouble. As per how much drag the generator has on the bike, it's hard to say right now and it needs to be tested on a longer route.
So far, it didn't interfere with shifting. With it attached to my Samsung Galaxy Note 3 with a 7.5" screen and having it jammed on, the generator produced enough power to keep the battery at the same level it began with. However, the smartphone alerted me that it was only getting a slow charge. That usually happens when it's connected to a USB 2.0 port. The Note 3 is a 3.0 phone. Oh well, sustaining the level is good enough for me.
The new kickstand is a bit tall, but I haven't tested it with a full load in the rear carrier, yet.
I purchased a Craftsman 10-PC. BOLT - OUT kit designed for impact wrenches online at Sears.com last night and picked it up in person at their store in Great Lakes Mall in Mentor of Lake County today. I was hoping they were going to be for a 1/2 drive, but apparently, they're 3/8ths.
The car is still on a jackstand and it's raining today, so I took LAKETRAN to and from the mall.
I finally learned how to true my own bicycle rim. With it in the truing stand as shown, I learned from YouTube that you turn the spoke nipple counter clockwise then turn the next one up opposite using 1/4th and 1/2 turns. I'm thinking about using 2 strips of metal that would be bolted to my kickstand's mounting bolt so I could true my rear rim on the fly.
