Days 64-66: Something Strange in Uncle Hayseed's Barn

 Day 64

I didn't do much today.I talked to Mad Willy Hurtzya, and Daddy Bigbucks and that was about it. I'm friends with Bigbucks now, so that's good. Maybe I'll be able to ask him for that grant soon.

Day 65

Made friends with Vernon Peeve and talked to Maximillian Moore a bit. I felt like I was in a good place to hire a sculptor now. So I gave him a call and he said he'd get right to work. Now I needed to talk to Detective Dan and let him know I did everything. He was in The Burning Spoke. He was upset that the sculpture was of me, but I told him they didn't need to know it was me and ended up being pleased with it. 

Day 66

Today I just talked to to the townsfolk a lot. I stopped by Uncle Hayseed's to see how he was doing. I went into the old barn where I used to live and found a trapdoor where a bail of hay used to be. I went down it and what did I find? A rocketship! It looked like it needed some repairs, but when I tried to repair it, I got shocked and ended up in the hospital... I guess I'll have to do some mechanical studying. I left the hospital for Club Rubb to jam out to finish out the day.

Days 61-63: Let's Get Logical!

 Day 61

I spent the day at the library studying logic. If I was going to make some grand scientific discovery, I needed to be logical, and that was going to take some time. I ended the day with a jam session, and the hopes that Daddy Bigbucks would be at the club when I finished. Bigbucks wasn't there, but Olde Salty was, so we chatted and made friends. I did end up finding Bigbucks at VirtuChem. We talked for a few minutes, but I was so hungry, I needed to leave and find something to eat.

Day 62

I went to the library to do some more studying today. Then I went to the Country Cafe and bumped into Duane Doldrum. We chatted a bit. Then I headed over to Club Rubb and saw Daddy Bigbucks. I chatted him up and our relationship improved. I wouldn't call us friends, I wouldn't ask him for a $10k grant, but we're doing better than we were before.

Day 63

To the library! I think this is my last day I need to study. That's my hope, anyway. Once I was done there, I looked around for Daddy Bigbucks with no luck. Went back to Club Rubb to jam. 

Days 58-60: Loony Lemmings

 Day 58

I spoke to Nicki Knack today. She's a lovely lady, I love shopping her store. I ended the day with the perfect jam session.

Day 59

I bumped into Duane Doldrum today. He said he's trying to solve a mystery. When I asked him about it, he said he's wondering where all the "Loony Lemmings" have gone. Apparently they're a cliff diving club, but they've been gone for months. He's wondering why. I asked if he wanted to join them, he said no, because you could die doing that sort of thing. He also said the lifeguard, Misty Waters, isn't letting anyone dive because of how dangerous it is. Duane says the club meets after sundown somewhere. Maybe I'll try to find them.

Day 60

Not very eventful day. I just spoke to the lifeguard and jammed out, really. 

Days 56-57: Caught in the Act!

Day 56 

I made friends with Daschel Swank and Lottie Cash today. Then I earned some cash making pizza. Then I earned some cash at a jam session. Overall, a pretty low-key day.

Day 57

I worked on collecting cans and bought a camera to try to catch Giuseppi in the act. I tried making friends with the boxer, Willie, but he's hard to get along with. I'll have to keep trying later, but I got so hungry, I needed to go get some food. Uncle Hayseed's was nearby, so I went to his house. 

You'll never believe the scene I walked into! Giuseppi Mezzoalto was in his house, stealing his stuff, my uncle was tied up in a corner, and there was a GUILLOTINE in the now empty bathroom! I took his photo and Detective Dan arrested him. My uncle was fine, but he didn't get his stuff back. 

I headed to Club Rubb to find Vera Vex and let her know of the good news. Then we jammed out to celebrate.

Days 53-55: Making Friends

Day 53 

I woke up this morning to find my refrigerator was broken. Fixing it was easy. I left after having a snack and set out to talk to people. If I wanted to be mayor, I needed friends. I found Daschel Swank at the dock and asked if he knew any sculptors. He did! He gave me his number, so I'd have to call later. I went and chatted with Olde Salty as well. Then I bumped into Phil. I continued trying to convince him to drop out of the mayoral race. I think I made good progress. 

After lots of talking, I ended the day with a jam session.

Day 54

I slept in a bit and then headed to the gym. I wanted to befriend the weight lifter, Eddie Renalin, and that's exactly what I did. We hung out all day, and then I jammed out again to earn some cash. I wanted to stick around and chat with people, but I was so tired that I went home. 

Day 55

Chatted with the doctor today in my effort to make more friends. He said he was learning all sorts of cool things as part of an exclusive Virtu-Chem club and that I could join if I paid $10k and made a significant scientific discovery. I have no idea what to do about the discovery, but he said if I butter up Daddy Bigbucks, I could get the money from him. I spent the rest of the day talking to people. Nothing super interesting happened.

Days 50-52: Conversations

Day 50 

I woke up at 5 am and went fishing. The earlier I could begin earning money, the better. When I was done fishing, O. Phil McClean was at the dock, so we chatted. My goal is to make him drop out of the mayor race. I think I made some okay progress with that. 

I ran into Olde Salty and chatted a bit with him as well. He seemed to be in good spirits. After we talked, I went and did the pizza competition for some more cash. I got a promotion when I was done!

After that, I went home for the night.

Day 51

I spent the day chatting everyone up in an effort to increase my popularity. I talked to Vera Vex. She was in a mood. Apparently her guitar got stolen, and the cops won't believe her about who did it. She says it was Giuseppi. Honestly, it wouldn't surprise me. I never trusted that guy. I offered to help. She said I could get a camera and convince Detective Dan to set up a sting. That will be my plan for tomorrow.

Day 52

I spoke to detective Dan and offered to help him with a sculpting project. Then I told him about Giuseppi. He agreed to set up a sting, so now I just need to acquire a camera. And find a sculptor for this other project... I ended the day on a high note, jamming out. That's definitely my favorite of the odd jobs I do around town.

Day 49: Am I Running for Mayor?

 Moving day! I found Giuseppi at the old clock tower and got my stuff moved pretty quickly. I got moved into the Imperial Estates and felt like I was living large. This place is huge and it has a pool!

Once everything was moved, I returned the moving crate to Giuseppi and headed to the general store. They had a toilet, so I bought it. 

Walking around town, I stopped and chatted with Nora Zeal-Ott. She's still running for office. She says she wants to bring positive leadership to the Sim Valley community. She says no one is actually running against her. So I guess she'll automatically win. I decided to ask her about her campaign issues. Nothing she suggested actually seemed like big issues... She wants to make postage stamps "less gross to lick," and give everybody free shoelaces? What? I was ready to tell her how ridiculous those were but then she said something that caught my attention. Apparently there's a law with a loophole that would allow any citizen in Sim Valley to hold a mayoral election whenever they want, and she wants to overturn it. 

So I asked her, does that mean I can run for mayor right now? She said I could, but O. Phil McClean, the fisherman, is already running. He thinks the current mayor is doing a terrible job. Honestly, that seems to be what everyone here thinks. No one really seems to like the current mayor. I asked Nora why she wasn't running for mayor (she's running for assistant treasurer), she said the title isn't long enough. Weird reason, but whatever floats her boat, I guess. She did say if I wanted to run against Phil, she'd run my campaign. 

Sounds like it could be fun. I'm sure I'd be way better than the current mayor. I just need 10k simoleons and to be popular. Oh, and I'd also have to get Phil to drop out. I can do that. 

I went home for the night. Tomorrow I'll start making money and making more friends.
