Only got through 2 days, because I spent several hours writing. Now I'm finally into week 2 of Summer year 4. Remembered to make a cycle of coffee before starting the next cycle of ancient fruit wine. Then started a new cycle of starfruit wine on Ginger Island the next day. I'm quite happy that I'm running out of starfruits. That means I should be able to run a couple of batches of pale ale soon without feeling like I'm losing out in a major way. My stack of aged Legend II roe is fast trying to overtake the stack of aged Legend roe, but then the fish ponds are 10 to 1, so no surprise there.

Went down the quarry mine in the hope to get a lucky ring. Didn't get one, but one of the haunted skulls dropped a magic rock candy, the first time I can remember one dropping.

Gave Haley a tulip on her birthday. I still have a week to get that last heart. Fingers crossed.

I'm nearing the end of my trial attempt to ignore farming in spring year 1 (save for my flower garden) and focus on the mines and fishing instead. I don't know if it's because my attention is divided or what, but I only have 3000 the day after the egg festival. Yes, I do have lots of copper bars now and I'm in the late 40s of the mine so I'll probably get iron bars and maybe some gold bars by the time it's over, but I'm feeling doubtful that I'm going to be position for a better-than-usual summer. We'll see, though.

Found I had a best luck day combined with a luck blessing. Unfortunately it's on a day when I need to turn my preserve jars and kegs over to a new cycle, but I've been ignoring the animals and headed over to the Skull Cavern with a magic rock candy once those were done. Have restarted the day 4 times so far, hoping to get either a second auto-petter or a lucky ring out of it.

Continuing in my save where I ignore farming in spring year 1 in favor of the mines and fishing. I bogged down in the mines in the fifties because the level 1 steelsword is inadequate and I keep forgetting to go into the AG to shop for a new one. (Made it as far as level 58.) I have a habit of waiting until a better sword drops from monsters. -_- At the end of day 28, I have six hearts with Haley (5 stars from the flower dance, then the caravan gave me pink cake so I gave it to her), two hearts with Gus, and one hearts with a lot of others. I have ~7000 gold in the tank to begin farming in summer five, along with 10+ copper bars, 2-3 iron bars, and 1 gold bar. I don't think I was productive as I could have been, but I went to the flower dance with Haley so I feel it was a success. :grin:

Mining: 3
Fishing: 7
Foraging: 3
Combat : 3
Farming:0


I could have more gold if I fished more, but there's no point in swapping the boredom of constant ordering for the near-boredom of fishing all day, especially when fishing EXTENDS the day.

Reached Fall of year 4 for my first time ever. Increased my dehydrators to 40, as I got close to having a full stack of common mushrooms. Sold off a full stack of red mushrooms. I remembered to run a cycle of coffee between wine cycles, and over on Ginger Island I've run a few cycles of pale ale. In the last week I've kinda forgotten to check if the aging starfruit wine has reached gold quality, so I might be a bit late in putting fairy dust on them.

One item left on the shipping list, a scorpion carp left to catch, and a few Serpents left to kill. Then there's the crafting, and of course making some attempts at getting at least 3 of the remaining golden walnuts the proper way. It will be my slowest time ever in reaching perfection, but since that's not my final goal this time, it doesn't matter all that much.

Farmer Ray has arrived in Summer Y 2, and somehow it feels like a speedrun, even though it isn't. Extreme progress for such a short time... Ray has become a pretty decent angler and fighter, and thanks to the lava eel, he completed the CC before the Egg Festival Y2. Abby didn't win the egg hunt this time, and the first Desert Festival is also over (best find: 2 dino eggs). Ray urgently needs a better sword for the SC... And after all the battles, he has a few ideas for these huge sandy areas on the farm. The greenhouse is well stocked and bearing fruit, the chicken coop is fully built, and the farmhouse and barn are next. He's also making progress with the girls. Abby accompanied him to the flower dance, the sisters are already at 7 hearts, and Leah and Penny are still playing hard to get. Although I think he secretly has a soft spot for Maru, as he often goes to the clinic and saved a gold star strawberry especially for her birthday... We'll see. He's taking it easy at the moment; the cinema will have to wait a little longer until he has enough money for a cellar to age the needed wine.

Got a 2nd Auto-petter on Winter 1 year 4, but I had to dive down to floor 206 of Skull Cavern to find it. Got an Auto-grabber too. So, when I returned home, the grabber went into the coop, and the petter in the barn, completing the sets.

Way back when, I bought an auto-grabber for the barn, so I wouldn't have to spend an hour milking my cow and goat, and wouldn't miss any of their produce. To me, it's more of a convenience than a necessity in the coop, hence why I didn't bother to buy more than one.

I also had a SDV related dream, telling me why Jas isn't allowed to go out after 6 pm... Nice little backstory bit for my fanfic.

Didn't happen recently, but I started a new save where I only get to leave the farm on the first of the month. I'm not sure how far I'll be able to get, but I bought a bunch of corn on summer 1st, meaning I'm set for money until winter.
