On Thursday, Bones told me that nothing is more fun than staring at his lunch-service apron. Bones is great, but he is a bit odd sometimes. 😛
The summer fishing tournament was held today, and I competed in two rounds. Both times, I caught five fish and scored seven points. My lone highlight, if you can even call it that, is catching this dorado. Everything else I caught was just a common fish.
Bones, Rio, and Ankha were all seemingly fishing together just north of Resident Services. Or at least they were fishing in the same area, just a few feet apart. 😛
I had enough points to get a prize, and C.J. gave me a fresh cooler. It’s actually a clothes closet, and I figured I could use one of those outdoors anyway. So I put it near my dock.
Hi Kapp’n!
Later on, well after the tournament ended, I found C.J. enjoying a Cuppa Joe up at the Roost.
There was no K.K. Slider concert tonight, due to the tournament. Here are a few other quick notes about the past few days:
My savings balance reached 61 million bells on Thursday.
I sold a bunch of bugs to Flick yesterday for 59k.
I caught four sharks yesterday, two hammerheads and two great whites.
Sunday (July 2nd) was Agent S’s birthday, and I headed over to her house for the party. I gave her a scooter that I bought at Nook’s Cranny, and she seemed to like it.
I’d love to see her riding it around town. She already has a helmet on, so it should be okay. 😉 Marina was also at the party in the morning, and Louie stopped over later in the evening. Happy birthday, Agent S! 🙂
Thanks to a suggestion from Nami, I added a stage flame machine to my basement. Now the flames can reach up and burn Rizzo. You know, just in case he isn’t injured enough from the cannon blasts. 🔥
While diving, I found a scallop. Pascal popped up and took it from me, while telling me about the best way to ride a bike…and his preference for water slides. 😛
He gave me a pearl for the scallop.
Yesterday, Agent S sent me a letter, thanking me for the gift. She sent me some round-frame glasses.
Curlos the sheep was camping over at the campsite. I had no interest in adopting him.
Today, I was diving to complete a Nook Miles+ goal, and I found scallop (and Pascal) once again. This time, he said it’s OK to be a couch potato…just not a bed yam. Hey, what’s wrong with bed yams? 😛
Hey, don’t sleep on bed yams, maaan.
He gave me another pearl in exchange for the scallop.
Happy Independence Day for those in the U.S., and have a great day, everyone! See you next time!
Before I get into tonight, I just have a few notes about the last few days:
On Tuesday, Marina sent me a thank-you note for the birthday gift, and she included another copy of her photo.
Gullivarrr sent me another pirate dress for helping him out.
On Wednesday, I sold 145k worth of fish to C.J.
Wisp gave me a merchandise table tonight.
I sold 11 bugs to Flick for 73k.
I found a D.I.Y. in a bottle from Ursala, who admitted to being evil. 😉 Surprisingly, the D.I.Y. was actually one that I needed (a gear apparatus)!
Tonight, I opened my gate at 10:00 for Friday Night Forest. It was my first FNF since February! (In New Horizons, at least. I did have one in New Leaf on June 9th.)
Bran came over, and I let him try out my obstacle course. I beat him a couple times, but the last race was very close!
We also raced on my vaulting pole race, visited Marina (and played some music in her house), and I did some fishing. Bran left around 10:40, and my town was empty…but the night was far from over.
About five minutes later, Logan came over and I raced against him on the obstacle course. We also headed over to the vaulting pole race, but just as we were about to start, Jac tried to enter…and we got disconnected.
I reopened, and Logan returned. Nami also came over, and the two of them raced on my obstacle course. They even wore matching yellow raincoats. 😆
Logan won the match, but it was close. Congrats, Logan!
Maria then joined in; I hadn’t seen her in a long time! When she came over by the obstacle course, she saw Nami and Logan and asked if she needed a raincoat too. 😆 (If you’re not aware, some of my previous obstacle courses had specific outfits you needed to wear, like a frog suit or King Tut outfit, etc.)
After I raced against Maria (I won), Xavier also came over. He and Maria also raced, and Xavier had a close, come-from-behind win.
We also had a few vaulting pole races, for the last time before I remove the course in the coming days. Afterwards, we posed for a group photo. Even Ankha joined in. 😆
Shortly after that, Sacky came over, and Bran returned. I was surprised so many people showed up after the night had such a slow start! I must have a lot of night owls on my roster. 10 p.m. is too early for them. 😉
Nami starting putting items on stools, and we were laughing at how the characters kind of jump when they pick something up off the stool. Even though the stool isn’t that high off the ground, our characters act like it is. 😛
We then had a bit of a revolving door. Nami left temporarily, Logan left for the night, then Nami returned. We went over to my house, and I showed everyone my wall of former villager posters. We also checked out the other rooms of my house, some of which I haven’t been in for a while.
Shortly before 1:00, I ended the session. I had a good time! Thanks to everyone who came! And sorry to Jac, who tried but couldn’t get in.
Today, I posted a new video, New Horizons Moments #21. It has my latest highlights from Forest (one-player clips). I hope you’ll check it out.
