ONE July Day 30 - a quiet day in the office, getting prepped for season (so therefore watching the Olympics counts as work, right….?). ONE July has been a wild ride so far and I’m glad I participated but DANG am I glad August starts soon! Also, since when was it almost August already?

If I do this again next year I’m going to need to deactivate my credit cards or something. I feel like I have a year’s worth of mail days waiting for me.

Week 4.5: The SoM “Yes-Throw” July Chronicles
The Anticipation
The last half-week of the event is ending, and I’m getting excited and antsy to play with my other throws. It’s like being a kid waiting for Christmas morning. My throws have turned around as well and are anticipating the play they’re going to be seeing. They’re all begging to be the firsts.
Hey Youuuuu Guyyyys!
My JB/Unprld Chunk is at the front gate doing the Truffle Shuffle (it’s mesmerizing), trying its best to get in. Because you know, Goonies Never Say Die. My OP Balloon is inflating itself, getting ready for the party, at least it already has a string on it. My DocPop Icarus has gotten its wings back and is preparing for another flight. Is it too close to the sun, or is it just right?
Gathering of the Beasts
My G2 Nessie, PDX-Yo Batsquatch, Swamp Monster, and CLYW Sasquatches are no longer blurry when I take photos. I can see them clear as day, they do exist! The History Channel has already signed a 3-year TV deal with them called Cryptic Cryptids, be on the lookout.
Party Time
My YJYOYO Time Slip is keeping track of the party scheduling, and my Pool Party Banana Hammock is donning its best speedo and getting ready to dance. It’s peanut butter jelly time! Every good Pool Party also needs a Noodle, grab the gear and let’s go!
Magic Tricks for a Grand Finale
With the magical ride this has been, I focused on some magic tricks for this last tiny stretch. My Workhorse V2 still hasn’t disappointed in its versatility. I learned “Magic Red Triangle” and “Kento’s Magic Knot” (Red Triangle Shift with Slipknot Slack, couldn’t actually find a name for this). They’re a lot of fun for certain and I love the visual aspects. Workhorse V2 is making the magic happen not just in play and capability, but even with the tricks itself.
The Challenge and Growth
It has been a challenge, but I’ve enjoyed the experience. I’ve improved a bit and added some more responsive tricks to my repertoire. It has also helped me understand how to modify some unresponsive tricks to enjoy with responsive play. Which has also opened me up to more tweaking and creating my own kind of tricks, which has been entertaining.
As the month draws to a close, I’m grateful for this journey. It’s taught me patience, creativity, and the importance of stepping out of my comfort zone. Here’s to more adventures and even more yoyo fun in the future!
What’s Next?
My next plan is to break out the unresponsive throws and go crazy, been missing some of that binding experience and general yoyo variety. Also, I have something interesting in the works, but I don’t want to spoil the surprise yet.
Was it an adventure? Yes. Do I WANT to do it again? Not entirely. But WILL I? Totally!
The End
Thank you all for tuning in each week, I hope you’ve enjoyed the wild ride and the chronicles. To all those who participated and to my fellow YYBC members, I appreciate the experience and the fun. Until next time, stay strong, stay weird, and keep on spinning! So Long, and Thanks for All the Fish!
