Knick Knack, Patty’s Back

On Wednesday, I found a new house in town. Clyde’s replacement has moved in, and it’s Patty the peppy cow. She’s lived in Forest before, back in 2012.

Patty: Sniiiiiiiiff! Ahhhhhh... You gotta LOVE the smell of a new house!
Mmm, it smells like hamburgers in here. 🍔

I had a nice bug-hunting session, earning about 225k on the night.

Today, Nana told me that she was thinking about moving out of town. However, I asked her to stay.

Nana: So, what do you think, li'l guy? Is it time for me to move on? >Don't go!

She didn’t agree to stay initially, but I did get her to change her mind a bit later.

Curly reminded me that the last fireworks festival of the year is coming up tomorrow!

Curly: This is the last one for this year! I gotta savor every BOOM like a tasty morsel on my plate, I'm a pig!

I haven’t yet attended the fireworks show this year (although I have in Wild World, New Leaf, and New Horizons). So I’m going to try to play a little tomorrow night to check them out.

I found Roscoe standing in front of Scott’s house…but it may have been because he didn’t have a house of his own! At least, not one that he could enter. 😆 He locked himself out.

Roscoe: I'm a man without keys... A man without a home... A wanderer... Makes me sound kinda cool...

However, I didn’t go searching for his key. Guess he’ll be spending the night outdoors. 😛

After 8:00, I went over to the Roost to check out K.K. Slider’s Saturday night show. He performed “Mr. K.K.” for me.

K.K.: All right, get ready to dig the riffs on this ditty: Mr. K.K..

Due to a late football game I was watching on TV, I didn’t do much bug-hunting tonight. I did make about 40k though, and I’m 420k from my goal. But I do have one more week to go, and I’ll probably be playing a few nights next week to reach my target.

Enjoy the rest of your weekend, everyone! I hope you’re able to enjoy some Animal Crossing, in one form or another! 🙂

Don’t Hog Them

I received Clyde’s goodbye letter in the mail today. So Forest is back to being a one-horse town…and I’m okay with that. (It is however, a two-monkey town…which is not ideal.)

Dear Jeff, Today's the day I leave Forest. I hope there's someone as fun as you in my new town. Take care! -Clyde

Nat was in town for the Bug-Off, which I did not participate in. But he informed me that Big Top was today’s winner! Congrats, big guy! He caught a 68-point banded dragonfly! Impressive!

I went over to the Roost to catch the Saturday night show, and K.K. Slider performed K.K. Condor for me. It’s the o-o-o-o-o song, if you know what I mean. 😛

K.K.: All right, get ready to dig the riffs on this ditty: K.K. Condor.

Curly was talking about friends, and he was saying that he needs to hang out with some new people. So he told me to invite my friends over, and not to hog them all to myself. 🐷

Curly: Don't hog them to yourself! Come on! Hook me up, giddyup!
How many friends could a friend-hog hog, if a friend-hog could hog friends?

After making my rounds, I got my net out and started hunting for bugs. I was having really good luck with giant beetles (I think I caught six of them tonight), but the other rare bugs were few and far between. In my ~75-minute session tonight (not all of which was spent bug-hunting, of course), I made about 180,000 bells.

I haven’t been bug-hunting much in the past few weeks, so I’ve fallen off my bell-earning pace from July. With just two weeks to go in August, I may have to go bug-hunting a few nights a week to meet my goal.

I recently posted my latest City Folk Moments video on Youtube, so I hope you’ll check it out.

Before ending my game for the night, I found a glow clock in the recycle bin at town hall. See you all next time!

Not Monkey’s Business

Nana was depressed today, because she was sick with a cold. When I told her I had some medicine for her, she got excited for a moment.

Nana: For real?!

Unfortunately, the news of me having the medicine seemed to help her more than the medicine itself. So she immediately returned to her gloomy demeanor. 😛

When I stopped in to visit Clyde, I saw that he was all packed up and ready to move out of town. This was expected, of course, after what he told me last week.

Clyde: Well, li'l guy, I guess the time has finally come.
Time to clip-clawp out of town.

Good luck wherever you end up, horsey. And hey, at least you didn’t get Pitfall Pandemonium‘d this time in Forest. 😆

Monty seems to be sticking his monkey nose into other people’s business: He told me that River needs to hurry up and pay off her home mortgage, because she’s not getting any younger. Wow. 😆

Monty: That girl needs to hurry up and pay her loan off! Be sure you tell her the same next time you see her!
Say that to her face. I dare you.

I played a little too late at night to catch K.K. Slider’s concert. Oops.

Booker: Oh... But I think that by this time, he's probably done performing...

And because it was so late, I also didn’t have a lot of time to go bug hunting and fishing. But I did do a little bit, and I earned about 75k for the night. But that doesn’t include my catches after the shop closed, so I’ll have some more to sell next time.

One other note: I shot down a balloon present, and it contained a koopa shell. Does that mean it was a Koopa Paratroopa inside the box before I hit it with my slingshot?
