Mike and The Massage Gun
Had a bunch of leftover FSA money and bought all these medical supplies including this amazing massage gun which I got for 50% off.

Then after the FSA expired, we submitted and it turned out it didn't qualify ;( I would have never spent this kind of money on it, but I like it at least.

Everything else I bought on [link]https://fsastore.com[/link] to make sure it worked.

Like a brand new Lithman stethoscope. You might ask, "why did you pick a stethoscope?" Well I had already picked tons of bandaids and most everything else was some sort of electronic that would eventually fail.

The way people talk about it you would think this would have been the city response.

Building a custom copper Kingsong s18 stand in Buffalo
Category: electric unicycle
Now that I euc in the snow all the time I needed a nice tall stand for drippy tire.

I decided to go with copper because it's strong and relatively easy to shape.

I have a plastic 3d printed one near my desk at work UT wanted something nicer for the house.

Started with 10 ft copper pipe.

Cut 2, 6in and 6, 8 Inc lengths of pipe with a hand pipe cutter.

Sanded them down with sand paper and a wire brush.

Then using flux, mapp gas and solder, joined the elbows.

It needs to be 6 inches wide and around 8 inches tall. Having 8 inch long rains also makes it easy to set the unicycle on it without having to get it just right.

After I sanded it down to look nice and remove and pipe branding.
