Yoyo Boomers Club

Looking for Volunteers to help us Facilitate FAF2026 this year.

Posters, Tutorials, Social Media, Cheerleaders, organizers, schedules, Task masters…..

We got to get this ball rolling. I know we have one sponsor so far. I’ll start reaching out to participants from the past.

Merch is up!

All profits go straight to the YYBC (except from Butterfly Cap Stickers)

I’d be interested in helping out.

I’ll be the guy whispering in your ear saying

You’re only human

Just to keep everything balanced

Been working on my sorely-neglected personal site, and figured I’d add the ability to track my yo-yo collection into it.

You can view by grid or list, and there’s a bunch of sorting, etc…

I imported all my data from my Notion list, and added some new fields.

I’m still tweaking it, but it’s been a fun exercise.

Wow. Yesterday there was sweating from the heat outside. Today… blooms in the trees and snow on the ground :roll_eyes:

The weather has been a bit nuts in CT as well. Cold with massive snow, hot, chilly & rainy. Not great for my poor head.

I was severely under-dressed for my lunch break today lol. Luckily I was able to park much closer to the building when I got back

Wild isn’t it?!? Yesterday I was out in shorts, 75 degrees. Today? Hail in the morning, then flurries!

Exactly!! I was in shorts yesterday too.

It’s taken a bit of time, and I’m not much of a designer, but I’ve finally redone the Throw-Yo site. (y’all know the URL by now)

You’ll notice much of the merch is gone. It’s actually still there (via /shop), but I’m going to be focusing strictly on strings/counterweights, and will be removing most other merch soon, and bulk-stocking only a few sticker designs. By June, I hope to be done with Print on Demand items.

I still have some work to do on the site, but at least I’ve finally gotten the redesign up! Going for an Alchemical feel, with a bit of Number 44 tossed in. Still working on art/flair for the site, so that’ll go up as I get it.

I haven’t seen @archiesdad post in a while. Anyone heard from him?

I know he has been more sporadic with his posts. I’m always thinking about that fella.

We should get together for a virtual meet again sometime soon.

Nope, but I was wondering the same during FAF when he didn’t enter this year

OK, Boomers.

I would like to hand off the Printful designs for the club TO the club so it can set up it’s own account. While it’s not a lot of money coming through, it makes my taxes…interesting to figure out.

@Captrogers - Would you be the one to set that up and handle it?

I’m taking the items out of my shop. I wish I could continue, but I had SO much fun last night working on 2025 taxes :smiley:

I will see what the team wants to do but we can chat about that. I’ll probably be the guy I’m vaguely thinking of setting this up for my local club so it might make sense for me to own it for YYBC as well.

I made another weird electronics project with a tinyduino. My boomer yoyo plays boomer tv now. Nick at Nite reruns including commercials.
