Weed Buster Badge

Late last night, I saw that the entrance to the Reset Surveillance Center was open. So I dropped on in for a visit. However, I seemed to catch Resetti at a very bad time. Let’s just say I was not his #1 priority at that moment.

Resetti at his toilet: I got me an emergency! Get outta here, would ya!I left him alone to tend to his business. Back outside, Pashmina pinged me for a very good reason: She wanted to suggest a new public works project! Unfortunately, that PWP was just a wood bench. But I appreciate the suggestion regardless.

Pashmina: We totally need to fund the best wood bench there is! It'll be quite the tourist attraction!
It’d be a tourist attraction? No it wood not.

I went into town hall to see how it looks. I got board just looking at it.

Wood bench: 42,500 bells.When I went back outside, I got another surprise: I saw Phineas! The badge I had earned was also something quite unexpected; I earned the Weed Buster badge. It’s the silver badge for pulling lots of weeds. I thought a fishing or diving badge would have been more likely, but I’ll gladly take it.

I got the Weed Buster badge! Weeds are my mortal enemy!Apparently, that means I’ve pulled 2,000 weeds so far…in nearly three years. Yet you need 5,000 weeds for the gold badge. So it could take me another five years to earn that one! Yikes! That will probably be the last badge I earn…other than the gold StreetPass badge, which I’m sure I’ll never get. But here is a look at my current badges:

Snowmam: The season for snowpeople has come to an end...Dizzy was sick, so I took some medicine to him. He should be careful about jumping like this, though: His landing could cause an earthquake, or at least knock some of his furniture down.

Maybe the world really is flat after all! 😛

And then today, I saw that carpet was the premium item at Re-Tail. So I took my six ice floors to Reese and sold them for a total of 106,656 bells.

Reese: Since I'm paying premium for all of these items today...the total is an amazing 106,656 bells!

Furniture Premium

Late last night, I decided to change my town tune to the airship theme from Final Fantasy VII. I’ve used this town tune before, and you can hear it at the beginning of my Animal Crossing Train Ride video. Here are the notes for it if you’d like to use it too:

Big Top: The only good thing about rain is that you can skip a shower that day.Saharah was in town, and I hired her to put in some new wallpaper and carpeting. She chose a meadow vista and a sci-fi floor. Those are both good items, but they certainly don’t fit well together.

Meadow vista and a sci-fi floor.Over at Re-Tail, I saw that furniture was today’s premium item! Yes! I gathered up all my extra ice furniture and started selling it. Each item sold for 17,776 bells, so a pocketful of 16 items earned me 284,416 bells.

Reese: Since I'm paying premium for all of these items today...the total is an amazing 284,416 bells!But I had more than a pocketful; I had 43 pieces of ice furniture, to be exact. In total, I scored a cool 764,368 bells for everything. And I still have six ice floors and two ice walls to sell at a later date. When I deposited my money into my bank account, my balance reached 62.5 million bells.

Your current balance is 62,500,000 bells.Up at the Dream Suite, Luna told me that Moonstar from Forest was my most recent dream visitor. Thanks for visiting! Have a good weekend, everyone!

Transformation Thursday

It’s February 25th, and that means spring is here! Well, sort of. But at least the snow on the ground has all melted away and the grass is green again. Quite the transformation that has happened overnight. I also made sure to change my path from ice bricks to green bricks.

Green grass and a green brick path.After returning an item to Daisy from Pashmina, Daisy told me she had already replaced the item so she didn’t need it. She offered to sell it to me for 97 bells, so I bought it. It turned out to be a blue tie-dye tee. I went ahead and put it on. It’s spring now, so I don’t need long sleeves, right?

Wearing a blue tie-dye tee that Daisy gave me.A snowmam that I built yesterday wasn’t enjoying the weather. It felt hot to her, and she just wanted a glass of iced tea. Interestingly enough though, she won’t melt any quicker in the warmer temperatures than she would have in winter.

Snowmam: It's hot! I'd love an ice-cold iced tea right now.
Get this woman some iced tea! Stat!

This evening, I did some fishing and diving. I was trying to lure Phineas out to give me some badges, but no such luck.

Up at the Dream Suite, Luna told me that Nisno from Partom C was my most recent dream visitor. Thanks for stopping by!
