Update Week 2: 1. Donate to the cause: [Movember - Home](https://movember.com/m/15191532?mc=1) - ✅ 2. Light a yoyo on fire (still don’t recommend doing this) - ✅ 3. Beard from scratch, no trim - ⏳ 4. YoYo Horse Participation - “H” 🐎 5. **String Grow Challenge: Current Level - String Length | 3 Feet** 3-Foot String Length. This is a little closer to what I use regularly, still a little short so I found myself getting these big ol’ mitts wrapped up in themselves at times, but it is overall much more comfortable to play with. I also have a slight stubble/tight beard going on again so I am allowed to show myself in public once more, haha. ![20241108](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/f/f/d/ffd7e5bf8665a89839feed1018c2ffc2eef2a08e.jpeg) [![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/a/5/0/a50f0533d100d0aaca34d831868d2668a92a12aa.jpeg "Yovember - Movember: Week2 | 3 Feet (Son-of-Morris)") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KgeDCj1i6ds) ---

Update Week 2: 1. Raise money for the cause: [Movember - Home](https://us.movember.com/mospace/15198324) - ✅ 2. Light a yoyo on fire (without setting the forest on fire) - ✅ 3. Mustache scratch, no trim - ⏳ 4. Single throw all month - ⛔ 5. Same string all month - ⏳ I got new throws in the mail, which is rare, so I had to throw them. Thanks again to @pyrotechnic for the awesome yo-yo mods and Moth Balls! I’m still using my Scrub all the time with the Vapor string I started the month with. It has A little fuzz from the wooly nylon sprouting out, but it’s still going strong! The string has gotten about an hour of play a day on average. Time to wash it, though… The mustache is coming in slowly. Glad I didn’t save the whole beard! I grow facial hair at a snail’s pace. I’m debating on starting a game of Horse for responsive play. Maybe I’ll get that up this weekend. ![Photo on 11-8-24 at 9.30 AM #3](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/d/f/b/dfb44bc58ff7cd96c8f673eacdd1a7d85ef6a3b4.jpeg) ---

Yoyo give away Challenge: 2 & 3 of 5. Got to a Mens church group earlier than expected this morning. So naturally, like any other boomer would do, I started playing with my pocket butterfly. A gentleman came up and said “I havent played a yoyo in years.” I said it is your lucky day. Pulled a butterfly out of my hoodie and handed it to him. (Yes. I have been carrying brand new yoyos on me.) He opened it. Showed him how to do the string loop, wind and throw. As we were hanging out and throwing, another gentleman walked up. “Putting a demonstration on today?” Kind of in a snarky and teasing tone. Pulled out another Yoyo, handed it to him and said, “Yep, and now you can join us!” He started back pedaling. I put him at easy, saying I was kidding. But he could keep the yoyo. Also shared Movember and Club info with them. On my way toTarget now to stock up. Have a great day.
