Since I moved to Taiwan, I missed my total gym. So I wanted to buy one, after all, they are all made in Taiwan!! But of course, I over judged Taiwan, anything halfway decent made in taiwan is for others to use. So there doesn't exist one in all of taiwan. Well, there was one, but someone bid on it and won it before I got to Taiwan... You add the love of Taiwan to not actually use anything they produce, and tada! You live in a country that produces a Total Gym but you can't buy one. Well, last week, I spotted on online, and promptly ordered it. It was delivered to me, and I was just excited. Now I can exercise again! So I exercised the first day and because of the lack of use, the wheels dried up, and cracked and broke.. So my total workout on the total gym was ONE DAY. Having waited 6 years, I wasn't going to let a little thing like a missing wheel deter me. So I went treasure hunting in Taiwan and I found a semi-comparable wheel. It was too fat though. So Bad Wheel 1, Me 0. But again, I've waited 6 years, wasn't going to let the fact the replacement wheel was too fat deter me right? So.. out came the hack saw. But slicing through half an inch of brass prooved too much for my little hack saw, and so... Bad Wheel 2, Me 0. That's ok... I don't give up that easily. OUT CAME THE ANGLE GRINDER. at 15,000RPMs.. sparks were flying. A lot of microburns later... My total gym is working again.. Who's your daddy?? Damn right!
