Month: May 2024

Another fishing tournament was held today, and I got the news from Chip (after the tourney was over, of course). He told me it was a black bass-only tournament, and Roscoe was the winner with a 22.2-inch catch.

At 8:00 tonight, I dropped into the Roost to check out the Saturday night show. K.K. performed K.K. D & B for me; that’s the song he played for me in New Horizons last week. (But the song title is spaced out more in this game.)

Curly asked me to look for some clocky furniture for him, and I agreed to help. So he told me to go on and “get into gear.” 😆 I don’t know if this pun was intentional or a coincidence, but I appreciated it all the same.

But even though I intended to help Curly out, I was having trouble locating a clock. I checked the recycle bin, the lost-and-found, and my house. (The only clocks I had in storage were ones belonging to seasonal sets, that can’t be reordered. And I didn’t want to break up my collection for a simple favor.)

However, I knew there would be two items hidden in trees, so I went around town shaking trees. But when you deal with trees, you also deal with bees. I caught the first one I encountered, but the 2nd one stung me. As for the furniture items, I found a tiki torch and a reel-to-reel. It looks like Curly won’t be getting his clock any time soon.

When I spoke with Tom, he reacted to my swollen, bee-stung face. He told me not to run into an angry swarm of bees, or Jerry. 😆

It’s been months since I gave Tom that catchphrase, and I think this is the first time it truly worked out well. Better late than never!

Astrid’s star has officially fizzled out, as I received her goodbye letter in the mail today.

Over by Nook’s shop, Roscoe was telling me about Tom Nook’s past. He said he used to be a scofflaw; a criminal!

He even said it was convenient that Tom Nook has that mask around his eyes! 🦹

Moments later, I was walking behind the shop when I heard a flea jumping around. I saw Ruby, so I smacked her with the net…but it wasn’t her. The funny thing is that I didn’t see anyone else around! I kept looking though, and I eventually found out it was Roscoe. I caught his flea, and he exclaimed “Whoa!”

Once he got over the shock, he thanked me for catching the flea and curing him of his itch.

Next I went over to the Roost, where K.K. Slider performed K.K. Dixie for me.

And before wrapping up my game for the night, I went over to town hall just to…mail a letter? Just kidding, there was no letter. I was just there to mess with Phyllis. 😆

That’s all for tonight, but I hope to see you next week.

I decided to check on my Nook points total today; I have 14,226 points. That’s more than I’d need to buy any of the available items…although I don’t plan on buying any right now.

Astrid was all packed up and ready to move out of town today. As Gin joked in the comments section last time, maybe Astrid was needed in some other town to help rid that town of Kitty. 😆 If you don’t get it, it’s a reference to what happened in Forest in 2020. (tldr; Kitty & Astrid had a fight, then Kitty moved out the next week.)

Tom asked me to deliver a gift (a bone shirt) to Grizzly, and I accepted the challenge.

When I returned to Tom, he thanked me for making the delivery. And he rewarded me with a checkout counter.

After selling some items, my savings balance reached 61 million bells.

A few hours later, I went down to the Roost for K.K. Slider’s Saturday night show. I asked for a random song, and he performed K.K. Samba for me.
