The Mints Of Wrath (A Rags To Riches Challenge)

[Minty]

Day Three & Four




Minty started at the crack of dawn with some grapes before planting the four best available, four tomatoes, two lettuces
and an apple tree.




The idea was not to have too big an allotment that he ended up having to spend every moment maintaining it. He needed time to fish, to raid the Science facility garden, and do some exploring of the island.




Fishing in a new spot to the west at the sea edge netted six rainbow trout & three goldfish using a tomato as bait.




Oh dear, this challenge is so boring currently that the raccoon hanging around Minty's tent has now fallen asleep!






The first few days of a Rags to Riches can be like that, harvesting, planting and saving basic resources so you've room to go exploring without worrying about food. So back to the Science Lab it was.

Something I forgot to mention last time is that Magic_Dancer put the science lab rabbithole in the basement of this building, unfortunately my Sim could not enter it. I had to go into Edit town, delete it and put in Jynx's rug replacement.

Donating a rhinoceros beetle bagged §121, a spider §18 (that looked like a ladybird but never mind) and a water beetle §42.

One mystery that was perhaps solved was why this garden grows so fast that it has been possible to do a full day of harvesting every day.




No wonder this garden grows so fast with all these horses crapping and piddling everywhere! The nitrogen content in that soil must be at record levels.






Heading for the usual shower, there were these two deer that spent most of the evening going backwards and forwards bouncing over the bridge. What was that all about?

Found a Rainbow Gem worth §524. Will need to make the time to sell these bits of rock at the consignment store!




Decided on Day four to do something a bit more interesting after tending to the garden, doing the Science lab again, and after the usual shower at the barbers.




Minty decided it was time to take advantage of the free books at the Coronado Library, taking the Gardening Vol 2 one to skill up on. He finished with 27 minutes to spare before his bladder burst! Now he's got level 5 gardening, and can plant better, more money making plants.




The only other person in was Wade Diamond, typing furiously away on the internet




"Bored baldy man in pirate cast offs seeks woman with bits of paper stuck to her face from shaving cuts for discreet adult relationship. No time wasters please."




See that speck in the distance? Top left between the arch?




That's Austin the puppy going home. Yes, dogs running around unattended along with all the other wildlife. Is this island's government PETA?




On the way back home, another dirty great big rock to snaffle (only a yellow sapphire worth §42), just before some deer did.




Haha, up yours Bambi, you big bottom burp! (Better hope PETA aren't listening!)




Of more worry, IT was back.






"Just run past it, pretend it isn't there"




It didn't bother chasing Minty probably because there were enough deer and horses chasing him anyway.




Back at the tent, that raccoon was still hanging about.




Now unfortunately the deer and horses are following Minty around as well.

What gives? They all keep having these thought balloons saying how much they hate him! Tomorrow, it has to be getting those rocks sold and getting a bike so Minty can outrun them (or at least outpedal them)
