I unpackaged my blue Duncan Imperial yo-yo and took it with us shopping today. It was able to sleep right off the bat. It was like oh wow this is awesome but after a short while I could not get it to sleep any more. When we got home I took off the string and smeared a tiny little bit of petroleum jelly on the part that wraps the axle. Wa-la it seems to have done the trick. I can get it to sleep again  |

Cool, and it sounds like it is as good a yo-yo as I remember.

Well that petroleum jelly trick didn't last long. Its back to not sleeping. I guess this is why they make most yo-yos with some kind of bearings.

I just made up an order to YoYoSam and will mail it tomorrow.
I'm getting that hard case, sample lot of yo-yo strings, friction stickers, a trick book, 6 pc Duncan counterweights collection, and 3 yo-yos.
Boy, little things add up quick.

I had to get out of here today to help reduce stress today. The only thing I could think of to do was go buy another yo-yo. I bought a yellow YOMEGA Raider. I for see getting a lot of use out of it.
I started practicing forward passes with my Duncan PRO Z they lead into doing loop tricks which is what I really want to do.

The flooding made me miss my music lesson  I think that I am going to like yo-yoing. I can do it at bus stops and don't have to worry about props going out into traffic or rolling away down hill. |

Sorry you couldn't make it to your lesson. Hope nothing interferes next time. Yo-yos really are just a pull it out of your pocket and just items, which I'm sure most people do enjoy.
