Last night, I decided it was time to finally pick out a location for my geyser PWP (public works project). After an initial walk around town, I thought it would look best if it was visible from the yellow bench in my southwest park.
Beth came over to help me test out some spots. I asked her to stand in certain spots while I sat on the bench to imagine how it would look. Of course, she’s not as tall as a geyser, so I joked that she should grow to be 20 feet tall. š She said that if she had a famous mushroom, she could! That was a great idea that hadn’t even occurred to me!
I had two of the mushrooms near my event plaza, so I asked her to grab them and then return. I originally was thinking of placing the geyser on the left side, but I soon discovered it would be partially blocked by my street lamp. So I ultimately decided to put it on the right side instead.
We purposely disconnected to save one of the famous mushrooms, and I went to town hall to start the preparations. I immediately paid the 98,000 bell fee before ending my game for the night.
Today, I rushed over to check out my brand new geyser!
I also added that picture to my town page. As expected, the geyser is visible from the yellow bench.
I then went inside town hall to trigger the geyser’s completion ceremony. Isabelle started things off, I said a few words, and then everyone fired off some party poppers. Unfortunately, I didn’t get a good picture of the party poppers going off (and the geyser wasn’t going off at the time anyway). But still, I consider the ceremony a splashing success.
This is the second PWP I’ve installed in 2016. The other one was the custom design sign I added in June. I also verified that I have not yet reached my maximum number of PWPs, so I’m still able to put in more projects…even another geyser if I wanted. But I have no current plans to do so.
Later on, I tried to glitch onto the geyser. But I didn’t end up on it…I was standing in it. I got soaked; it was a real pain in the neck.
My villagers were gushing over the new addition to town. Hamlet made up a game about it, called “Geyser.” It involves blinking right as the geyser goes off. I don’t see what’s so exciting about that, but whatever floats his boat.
At T&T Emporium, I bought some medicine for Daisy since she’s sick as a dog. Get well soon, Daisy!
Julian asked me for a hammerhead shark tonight, and that’s a lot to ask. But IĀ would like to earn Julian’s picture, so I used it as an excuse to go to the island and do some fishing. (I also caught a bunch of valuable bugs, too). It took a while, but I eventually scored myself a hammerhead.
I returned to town and gave it to him. He rewarded me with some plank flooring. That’s all he’s giving me for a hammerhead? What a tool. I should’ve made him walk the plank for that!
On my way up to Re-Tail to sell my catches, I spotted a scorpion! I quickly caught it with my net. But my pockets were full, and there were no free spots on the ground (not covered with patterns or flowers), so I was forced to release it!
When I made it up to the post office to deposit some money into my bank account, I was able to get my balance to 77,777,777 bells! Jackpot! I’m 7/9ths of the way to my goal! Or…seven of nine? š
Just a reminder that there’s no Friday Night Forest tomorrow. Instead, I’ll be opening my gate on Sunday night at 8 p.m. Eastern time (5 p.m. Pacific time) for Sunday night fireworks.
My recent dream visitors have been Katy from Torquay, Victoria from Mt. Lebo, and Ilayda from Istanbul. Thanks for stopping by!
