What are you doing today?

Feeling oddly good today! Woke up feeling well rested and got in a good run and some family time before coming in to work. Id MUCH rather be at home but with the amount of people teleworking or self isolating it’s basically empty here

This morning started off a little on the exciting side - did my first YYE BST activity and pulled the trigger on a throw I have been eyeballing (that’s no longer in production). Woke up to seeing a PM stating that they still have the throw after inquiring last night before heading off to bed.

Speaking of BST on here, I found a very helpful tip for those looking for a throw…I had done a search for the yoyo I was looking for in the BST category by latest post to find a 1-day-old post that was otherwise buried and I would have missed altogether. This said, if one is looking for a throw, aside from posting a “LF: (yoyo name)” thread, try the search feature out just in case it gets lost.

Those things next to the beer interest me but I am extremely uncoordinated. I’m curious though. I need in-person teaching.

I got into the knuckle rollers(or whatever each company calls them). They are great hands therapy exercises. I have even recommended them to a few patients and they love them. The basic roll around the hand is easier then it looks.

U only need one…i recommend 2. Plastic ones are cheaper… considering what i’m willing to spend on a yoyo i feel like it’s all reasonable.

I’d like to get some decent Begleri at some point. I have some thumbchucks I really like…I only know a few basics with them at this point, but they’re very calming to me.

I guess Dollar Trees here in the usa were selling the Thumb Chucks recently…REALLY wish mine would’ve gotten them in. I’d of bought a ton of them to give out for gifts.

I’m thinking of picking these things up at some point:

And here’s the Thumbchucks a cool guy on these forums gifted me :green_heart:

Haha well looks like it wasn’t a great day for my Movement, checkout the bloopers bit at the end of this video haha dinged it again on the wall :joy:

Quarantine period with lots of yoyoing getting done, and my rotation program playing with each and everyone of my yoyos limited to the 1 yoyo of choice every 3~5 days is like Russian roulettes for my yoyos. Haha so far fortunately I had no issues with my Dove and Cadence ES although the Movement got a bit more love than it was expecting XD.

Currently debating on what to use next for the proceeding 3~5 days.
Leaning towards the Sleipnir at the moment.

You gave me my first real laugh out loud of the day! Thank you. I love yoyo videos where there are mess ups that cause physical injuries and / or the yoyo is damaged or almost damaged. Not because I would ever WISH that on someone but because these mess ups show we are not always as perfect as our perfect videos. It also makes me feel more like I want to show people (in person) what I’ve learned. Yeah, I may mess something up but so what? Seeing YOU mess up doesn’t make me less in awe of your skills and amazing progress. If anything, I now respect you even MORE!
