Month: July 2023

Over the weekend, I got to see Bob’s house now that he’s all unpacked. Of course, it wasn’t really a surprise what his house looked like. I’ve seen him in other towns, after all…not to mention every other Animal Crossing game. 😆

He was working out, perhaps trying to show off for me. 😛

I went diving and caught a scallop. Of course, that caused Pascal to pop up and ask for it. His words of wisdom were about tuna this time. 😛

I love that I’m still getting new Pascal dialogue 3+ years into the game. Even if it’s only because I haven’t done tons of diving after earning all of the diving achievements.

I found Bob sitting on the bench outside of his house on Sunday night. He told me he was feeling creeped out, or maybe gassy. 😆 I’m glad he’s already comfortable enough with me to say things like that already. 😛

He was really just scared because Wisp was in town, though. (Wisp gave me a zen low table after I helped him out.)

But then Bob said he was also smelling things that he doesn’t normally smell. Hmm, I don’t think ghosts have any odor, do they? Maybe Bob really was gassy, after all. 😆

Yesterday, Flick was in town, and I sold him 24 bugs for 164,000 bells.

The Nooklings’ price for turnips has been going up and down this week (I bought them for 95 bells apiece on Sunday.) So when they hit 133 bells today, I decided to sell 1,700 of them…enough to ensure I wouldn’t lose money this week. And I still have 730 (including 30 from the hospital) to sell if the price jumps up more.

As for my next obstacle course (where the vaulting course was), I have some ideas in mind. But I haven’t really started on it yet. So it probably won’t be done in July, to be honest. But maybe in August, in time for a Sunday Night Fireworks one week? We’ll see. 🙂

Yesterday morning, the Nooklings were paying 172 bells for turnips. I sold all of mine for a total of 400,760 bells. I’m now 28% of the way to earning the final Nook Miles turnip achievement. So this is still going to take years, most likely. 😛

Here’s a few quick notes about yesterday:

• Gulliver sent me a sombrero in the mail.
• I broke four tools. 😮 It’s rare for me to break more than three in a day.
• I sold C.J. a nice selection of fish for 367,500 bells.

After I was done with all that, I redeemed some Nook Miles for some Nook Miles Tickets. So I started visiting some mystery islands to look for a new villager. Tipper the cow was on the first one, and she did nothing to tip the scales in her favor. I simply was not interested.

Of course I tried to earn some of my Nook Miles back while on the islands, cutting trees and catching bugs. While going for a diving one, I caught a sea pineapple…while I was wearing a pineapple cap I bought at Able Sisters. 🍍

The second island I visited was even worse than the first. It had Rodeo; what a bunch of bull!

He couldn’t last eight seconds on my island. I left this island rather quickly. 😛

I was already getting pessimistic, and I was mentally preparing myself for a random move-in. That is, until I saw who was on the third island: IT WAS BOB!!!

Bob is one of my favorite villagers in the entire series, so I couldn’t possibly say no to him! I asked him to move to Forest, and he agreed. 🙂

He moved in this morning, and I couldn’t wait to greet him. Welcome to Forest, Bob! 🙂

I believe has now become just the 2nd villager that I’ve had in all five main Animal Crossing games. (Bones was the first one, and that happened last year.) I’m glad to have Bob around in New Horizons now (if you couldn’t tell). 🙂

Charlise was camping over at the campsite, but even she couldn’t bring me down today. 😆

Later, I put some money into the bank, and my account balance reached 62 million bells. That’s approximately half of my New Leaf total. Eventually it will overtake my New Leaf total, but that will probably be a few years still.

See you next time! By the way, I’ll be posting a new Wi-Fi Moments video by the weekend. 🙂

Sunday (July 9th) was Static’s birthday. So I crafted him a traditional balancing toy, which is made out of acorns. (If he doesn’t like balancing it, he can always eat it.)

I headed over to his party, and Marina was also there. I gave Static the gift, and he acted like it was a generous gift. 😆 But at least he liked it, and now he has an excuse to cut loose. 😛

Daisy Mae was in town, and she was selling turnips for a good price (91 bells apiece). I bought 2,300 of them. Later that night, K.K. Slider performed K.K. Mariachi for me.

Yesterday, Marina pinged me and told me she wanted to move away. It wasn’t easy, but I decided to let her go. She has lived in town for nearly two years, so she’s had a good run. I am trying not to let my island become too stagnant, so that means saying goodbye to villagers I like. But I’m sure I’ll see her again someday.

Just to be clear, this had nothing to do with Midge’s return. Midge didn’t talk me into this or anything. 😛

Gulliver was in town today, so I grabbed my shovel and started digging up his communicator pieces. I was having unusually good luck, because they were all in the same area. In fact, it only took me 55 seconds to dig up all five, and that’s with stopping to talk to Ankha too! I returned them, and Gulliver will send me a reward tomorrow.

And of course, I headed over to Marina’s house to say goodbye before she swims away. Good luck to you, Marina!

Outside, Punchy was telling me that he plays so hard, he sometimes forgets to go home when the sun goes down. Then he tried to convince me that the moon is a light bulb? I wonder what gave him that bright idea?

I’ll probably spend a few Nook Miles tickets tomorrow to search for a new villager. If that doesn’t work out, I’ll just see who I get randomly. I’ll be back with another entry when the next Forest resident moves in!
