I just cleaned my Bape.2 and out a new string on it and it is dead silent and unresponsive. It feels so nice! It got me thinking about all the things that a fresh cleaning and new string are better than. I am convinced that the combo of just cleaned and lubed bearing with new stein is the yoyo equivalent of clean sheets, waking up to a snow day, getting two candy bars for one from a vending machine, finding $20.00 in a coat pocket you haven’t worn since last winter, and fresh apple pie smell. Enough I my rambling I have a Bape bearing to get dirty and a string to wear out so I can change it again. ---

Same could be said about fresh cotton on a wood axle. Both feel like: The cool side of the pillow. When time falls forward and you get an extra hour of sleep (or yoyo time) before work. A long country drive when the leaves change colors. A spring hike. And I’ll steal: Waking up to real snow (we don’t generally get these whee I live). Finding $20 you didn’t know you had. Fresh apple pie smell.
