I noticed that too earlier this evening and I haven’t changed any software. Attaching a picture failed every time, even with photos I had successfully uploaded before. I wondered if it was something on my end or maybe a temporary glitch. Guess not.
Your kit just seems more like what you’d see a road cyclist carrying (ie. basically nothing) which is a pretty big departure to what most unicyclists seem to carry (ie. basically everything plus a bit more). Obviously it works for you, my only real worry with kitting up like that would be the bottles flying out when you stop 'n hop, or go over a particularly nasty bump!
When I do long trips (Which is usually a maximum of 65 miles for me) I at least bring a spare inner tube/mini pump, but there have only been one or two times I’ve actually used it on the road. Off the top of my head, my backpack (Which is a weighty piece of kit in itself…) usually holds water (In a camelback, due to the aforementioned fear of bottle rockets), a couple of food items such as banana/jam sandwiches, and emergency repair kit (Mini pump/tube, a multi-tool). Depending on the season I’ll pack another layer (Usually a waterproof). I’m interested in ditching the backpack as I find it uncomfortable and annoying, so it’s good to see minimal kit working 
I reckon all of the situations you have listed there are the sort of thing that “kit” couldn’t really affect. You can’t exactly stuff a full medical kit for dealing with broken bones, hypothermia and being stranded by extreme conditions in your jersey pocket, and at that point your best bet is to probably abort the mission or call in the emergency rescue.
Picture uploads - I just use Imgur and the ‘large thumbnail’ BBcode. Never liked this site’s upload feature.
Crucifix of Cevo
Me at the gigantic Crucifix of Cevo (Brixen) Italy. Yesterday.
Not a great photo, but an incredible big cross
This is actually a re-creation of a planned dismount that went horribly wrong. About a year ago when I first started riding my 36er after a 50 year break from unicycles I was not comfortable riding across the bridge. So I had planned to ride up to the start of the bridge and dismount. I hit a bump at the start of the bridge and took a header clean off the bridge. It was about 12 ft down to the ground below but the ground was soft and I sustained no real injuries. It was my most exciting dismount to date.

Great photo!
That will be my new desktop pic. 
The superman dismount. It is not the fall that kills you…
Looks like a Photoshop dismount
That is an awesome photo! Your facial expression has the perfect look of surprise, angst and fear.
Whether photoshopped or a recreation that picture belongs on the next calendar

I’d like to know how he recreated it
Sorry, the continuity isn’t there.
but you forgot to erase the front part of your helmet above the wheel of your unicycle, and the shadow of the unicycle wheel is cut sharp.

Nothing as exciting as JimT. Just the usual routine today…
One more unicycle commute trip…
I’m into this unicycle commute trip thing now for over three thousand round trips between the same house and the same employment location.

Thanks Fetzenschorsch, I fixed it on my original.

How many kms between ur house and work? I have only 7 and occasionally take the uni, but they don’t have bathrooms in the office and I don’t want to sit there all sweaty.
Uni commute is best commute
I’m about 4.5 miles from work so it’s basically the perfect distance. Far enough to justify taking the big wheel, not so far as to make me want to bike it.
That’s a lot of work for a picture. It would have been easier just to make the fall. Of coarse it would have hurt more
7.2km, so about the same as Setonix then.
I have also been commuting a lot recently (on a 28" because my 36" is still broken). 5.9km/3.7m and mostly hills, plus it is really hot this summer but screw it. I am doing it anyway! 
Finally getting used to the new wheel. I bought a new KH-36 about two months ago, thinking that if I specified the same model, same cranks, same seat, same tire, and swapped over my same pedals and t-bar, that everything would feel the same…WRONG! For some reason, switching to the new wheel felt almost like starting over; I could ride, but I felt tentative, insecure. My turns (especially right turns, go figure) were waaaay wider than on the previous wheel. On my original KH-36, I could practically pirouette in both directions, but on the new one, I had to take right turns really wide–annoying! So, I just bit the bullet, hunkered down and kept logging miles, figuring it was just a matter of getting used to the subtly different setup. Yep! …it worked! The new one flies! I’m not 100% yet, but pretty close. I’m starting to do longer routes now. The pic is from Saturday’s lap of Lake Sammamish and surrounding hills–maybe 25 miles or so. Weeeeee!
