Summer Camper and Fishing Tournament

I checked my mail and saw that I got a goodbye letter from Tutu.

Tutu's goodbye letter.Tortimer was out and about for the fishing tournament. He was being rather bossy, telling me I had to participate. Who does he think he is, the mayor or something? Oh wait…

Tortimer: You do know you have to catch bass for the tournament, right?But I didn’t want to fish right then, because there was a summer camper in town! This is the first weekend of summer campers, so I went in the tent. Samson was this week’s camper. I played one of his games, but it didn’t go so well.

Samson: You were wrong, so I get ALL of your money!Still, I kept playing his games for a while. I did eventually get one camper-exclusive item, a bonfire.

Samson: I hope you're happy with a bonfire...I then went to the lake to check out the fishing tournament.

Hank: The fish I'm gonna catch, it's gonna be so big that I'll need you to help me carry it!I caught one bass to give to Chip.

Chip: Oh, goody! Nice! Hand it over!But it was only 17 inches, and Puck had already caught an 18-incher.

Chip: That one was pretty close. You're almost there. Almost!I gave it a couple more tries, but didn’t catch any more bass, so I gave up on it for the day. I went on a walk around town, pulling weeds and talking to animals. Kody asked me for a new catchphrase and I taught him to say “I’m blue.” Then I talked to him again, and he said he painted my roof. That’s good, because I wanted to get rid of that white roof anyway.

Kody: I painted your roof bright green! That's the only color I had. I'm blue.My house with a green roof.I also met my new neighbor, Marcy the kangaroo.

Marcy: Now that we've met, does that mean we're friends?After that, I worked on my house a little. I have an idea on what to do for my (almost) annual house redecorating, but I need a few more items first. Some can be ordered, but others are harder to come by.

Rainy Sunday

It was raining again in Forest today. I went to Nook’s and bought a satellite.

Timmy: Does a satellite interest you?I talked to Tom and he told me that he always looks forward to the fishing tournaments in June.

Tom: Every year I spend each Sunday in June fishing from morning 'til night!I also talked to Copper, as Tom was blatantly eavesdropping in the background. Copper told me Wendell would be in town tomorrow.

Copper: You ask about goings-on?I stopped by the post office and the dump on my way home. I noticed that at some point, someone must have painted my roof white. I don’t even remember when it happened, but it doesn’t look good. I’ll have to remember to buy some paint for it next time.

Catching a Coelacanth

It was raining in Forest as I started up the game. I checked my mail; one letter was advertising a stunning dirt model for sale at Nookington’s.

Letter: We have a special offer today on a stunning dirt model.Another letter informed me that Alli has left town.

Alli's goodbye letter.So I went to go meet Alli’s replacement Robin, who lives in acre B-1.

Robin: Good evening to you. Do I know you, la-di-da?I then went into Nookington’s to take a look at that dirt model. Wow, how stunning. I’m surprised Nook didn’t say that toilet was stunning too.

A dirt model and a toilet on sale at Nookington's.Back outside, I talked to Tutu. She wanted me to help her get through the maze in the back of her Nintendo Power magazine. I hate these things.

Tutu: OK, let's keep going! Right or left?I went looking for a coelacanth, and after a couple minutes, I found one!

Would you look at that!After that, I stopped by the post office to mail a fossil away (and to deposit some bells). I also ran by the dump and then headed for home.
