My storm door handle snapped off. The replacement handle required some sawing which i lack a saw. I took my replay pro apart, and tried to put the axle through the hole to use as a makeshift handle to push door open/closed without worrying about latch (frame warped so have to push it open anyway) ALAS, the axle was not long enough. Im sure i could have figured out a way to make it work if I really wanted…instead i went down the street to my brother’s house to use his saw. Anyone else have an abnormal yoyo story? ---

A while back my daughter wanted me to push her but my back was not up to the task. I realized she had a yo-yo party favor in her basket and used that as a rope to pull her around the block. It eventually snapped but we got far enough. Now she doesn’t need dada to help her ride a bike… also I wasn’t expecting to find this picture from so long ago but man smart phones are too smart… search by key words how did it know this was outside a bike a yo-yo. I work in tech and this stuff just shows how little privacy we really have. Also at OP I like your head space on the yoyo doorknob. I bet an atlas or monster would have worked. Just needed a wide yoyo ---

I mean just saying if you have a titanium yoyo and your stuck in the mountains you could probably use it as a firestarter by walking the dog along coarse rock at a kindling pile… that hasn’t happened to me but that is an instance where a yo would serve a practical purpose ---
