Yup… you got me there. I have no match for that. My Yoshi is the same color…
I do know going through it with the family. We have been hanging out in “the wringer” for quite some years now. Hope things brighten up for you.

This is applicable, yes? I may not throw every one every day but I use a good 3-6 of these on any given day. When I practice on one that isn’t Galaxy I practice on the three my partner got me and sometimes throw in the Space Grey too. Very fun yoyo!!

Not a YoYo, but my jeep threw some piston chunks into the oil pan
Definitely no new yo’s for a bit. Maybe time to sell a few
Yo related for posterity:
Claude can do some of my office work, if only it could fix my hobby vehicle as well

Congrats! Got my 2 year chip this year, and not sure I would’ve made it without yo yo throwing/shopping… Don’t want to go and ruin the state of my yo! Another sweet pic, by the way.

I finally got internet here at work. Two years of sobriety, you know I was really thinking man, once we get out of this shelter and into our own place imma get a nice beer but then I thought just now, I’d actually like a new yoyo instead lol
Its funny how much time, faith and family change a man and his priorities.
Also here’s a battle scarred Halfswap G2 Loadout SR I call Phantom Berries.

I need your opinion on how it feels compared to your other Loadouts. You have both gen 1 and 2, right?

I have both yes, Original, Loadout 2 and SR.
My opinion is that if you want a goldilocks yoyo but its not too too good? The Loadout is the ideal entry yoyo from G2 which is what I got introduced to after the Encore I believe from a member in the discord.
Loadout SR the next one I received, it feels just like regular loadout but faster, the polycarbonate rims, although fragile to dings, will provide enough aerodynamics in the designs itself to be able to push it just a little bit more than regular Loadout can while maintaining a steady spin.
The Loadout 2 is more of the same regular Loadout with subtle changes made the overall design that you wont notice unless you look for them purposefully but, with that being said you have the upgrade (slightly larger overall diameter and width in mm; the catch is about 4.5 but I need a caliper to be exact, but it feels about the same as the original design) that will perform as good if not a margin better than the original loadout, but with more spin time, needed quality of life changes to the outer rims and inner cup(more rounded straight if that makes sense). You know something, its a G2 yoyo that you just simply have to throw it to understand the differences between it and the original design.
All in all you cant really go wrong for the price point if you just wanted something that looks nice, performs just as good as it looks and wont bust your wallet totally when trying to find one New on the G2 store or BST markets.

At least those engines are plentiful. Many options out there. Unless you go the route of going .030 over?
I really wanted to, but this is the Cheap Jeep™️.
Spent $834.96 in parts and tools and consumables tonight to cover everything except coolant and oil, and some specific tools to rent from the parts store. Cheapest I could get away with a stroker would be maybe $2500 including machine work, but realistically would be closer to 3 bands if not more.
$540 was for sending my rods out to get new pistons with installation and 2 sets of bearings (in case I need to over size a set or two); a stroker set is pretty much double that bare bones and cheap, and then double it again to punch the block out, and if I’m going that far I may as well actually get the head done, and do the rad all the other stuff.
The spirit of the Jeep is cheap as viable. I bought it for $500 and have kept it going with free repairs and donor parts from other Jeep friends, I’m in it all together roughly $800-$1000 before today including the Jeep and a fresh set of tires, today has doubled the cheap Jeep investment, but at least I’m having fun?
Also a yard motor is a total gamble on how long till that one does the same. Now I’ll be guaranteed another 200k and I know it inside and out, because I’m the one building it lol.
I can’t believe I used to do this garbage 8 hours a day 5 days a week minimum for 15 years, what was I doing with my life

I did auto parts for 7ish years, there’s parts that I miss. (Budumtiss) The parts list assembling, the deals, the “well while I’m here I could totally do…” can be fun, but the most fun I have had is when the first week after the major repair and it feels so good to enjoy the fruit of the labor.
