Blew up my sewing machine??

[Maher]

Maybe you needed a stronger coffee ... see, this is why I'm not allowed to use the coffee machine. Strictly cold brew or a pour-over using a Vietnamese filter. I can't botch basic physics.

All my coffee came out of a keg until that Mullner woman foisted that newfangled contraption that just produces cup after cup of coffee day after day after day on me. And then, if she isn't giving me a weed, er, forage item, she grew in a pot out back with great love and attention, Leah's foisting even more coffee on me! Coffee and dandelions!

Actually, as I look back, maybe I should have drunk the coffee before sorting my pack.

OK....

Farmer Bobbi admission time.

So.

I do Deluxe Speed Gro to get in 3 of the outdoor valuable crops per season, Rhubarb (Sp), Starfroot (Su), Pumpkin (Fa) as all 3 take 10 days to mature. If you get a Crop in on the 1st, you harvest and replant on the 10th and 19th and then last harvest on the 28th.

Suspicious, I know. Seems like Min/Maxing . Hm, I will consider how to rebrand this...

But it makes me feel like a Farmer so I do it anyway. That means that I can't let the Wheat grow so I'll probably stick with Fiber for Su-Fa. But Coffee from Sp-Su sounds great, I will consider this option as it's renewable and I recently reduced my dependence on Coffee with a strategery change. I generally like to grow Winter Seeds but I get 2 or so of those crops in so I can have Fiber Seeds in the ground Wi-Sp but really, do I need Winter Forage?

Hm. I believe this works and is lifestyle-consistent.

I will repay the Min/Max loan I take out with 3 crops per season by leaving the Fiber in the ground the entire Winter, to be Scythed up on Spring 1.

Ah, yes. Farming just like 'ol Grandpa used to!

This is me anytime a single tree or debris gets in my way while walking through cindersap

Argh, there's always that one rock or log hiding behind a bush even when you're positive you cleared the whole area. That goes double for behind the movie theatre... walk by a week later and I'm like wtf why are there weeds everywhere again? Every year.

Hello,

I think I blew up my sewing machine that I got from Emily when I accidentally placed a bomb in my house. Is it possible to get it back or did I make a huge misstake??

Is that sewing machine really that low quality? My grandma's ol sewing machine would have gotten hardly a notch from some small bombs...

Yeah, that sewing machine is an entry level Kenmore from the year that Sears went under. Emily got a pallet of them on the cheap from Joja Bulk Buys.

It sure seems like it but I'm wondering if it's actually less work overall. Nahhh, I looked at the growth tables for a while and I'm totally doing more work, and especially on the Summer-Fall transition. Because I could plant Starfruit twice (assuming no Speed-Gro) and be done on Su 27th. Plant Wheat and it's done on Fa 2, plant Pumpkins twice and done on Fa 28. No wasted Fiber or Wheat Seeds.

But!

I don't want/need Wheat. I super have loads of Tortillas already that Emily and I use as house frisbees. Also: Sunk costs! Mmm, sorta. I already have the Speed Gro in the ground and a fun&easy way to manage the seasonal transitions, plus I would need to Pickaxe, Hoe, and Water every one of those 191 Farming Spots to return them to no-Speed Gro.

NOT gonna happen, this is about less effort overall even if there's 1 more harvest/plant cycle each month.

Hm, now I want to know how much more work/time happens each month. How long does it take me to Iridium Scythe and plant my field? Gonna test at the next harvest.

You just reminded me of an entertaining series of reddit stories from a lady who did sewing machine repairs and restoration. I need to go re-read those.

Oh no! I did that before, but took out a perfection item (not too perfect now, am I?). Immediately started the day over.
There's an old thread that talks about this exact situation. In short, you yourself cannot get the machine back.
I'm not sure if another player joining your farm (friend or afk second controller) would get all mail rewards from board missions. Worth a shot?

There's also this thread which started off discussing a way to recover the Statue of True Perfection, but also touched on a way to recover the sewing machine.

Aw man don’t make me feel like ancient fruit with talking about Sears going out business. I still remember clearly when they were originally quality hardware and appliances, then they introduced that whole “come see the softer side of sears “ bit in the late 80’s/very early 90’s. That’s when things started going south. They were trying to keep up with other mall mega department stores but shoulda just stuck to what they were originally known for. Branching out didn’t help them at all. However, most kids today would have no idea what hanging out half the day or more at a mall with your friends or family was like even. Good times.
