Howdy, y’all! Joe Hills here writing as I always do in Nashville, TN!
It’s never too late to unburn bridges. Auto-correct tried to tell me that I should have written “to sunburn bridges” but I’m not letting artificial intelligence write this for me!
Some of you may recall that Docm77 wasn’t thrilled with my defensive strategy during his trial (even though I lovingly rendered it in glorious 360° video).
I wasn’t thrilled about Doc not being thrilled, so after giving him some time to cool off and hearing that he has a huge poker tournament coming up, I reached out to him about trading some of my surplus Hermit Holmdel dirt blocks for a reserved spot at his tournament. I might not strike many of y’all as a huge poker player (because I’m not), but I did briefly get really into Balatro earlier this year.
When we met up, Doc was in good spirits and hyped about his upcoming tournament, as well as for the opportunity to avoid afk farming dirt for a while. I recorded the whole thing for an upcoming episode, so I won’t go into more detail about the convo now, but I will say that Doc directed me to his laundromat’s delivery area as the dirt drop-off location, and promised me a seat at his upcoming event. A most excellent outcome!
After that, I mined a couple geode’s worth of calcite and some extra tuff to ensure I had enough to complete my Tuffest Teef trophy topper. The sketches I drew to mock up the design on this morning’s stream allowed me to hit the roof running and turn around a lower mouth that I’m particularly proud of.
I’m not sure I even should build the top, since most Hermits will be flying over it and that’ll just obscure the lower part.
There’s still room for refinement, but that was all the time I had this afternoon. I’ll revisit this with fresh eyes another day, after I deliver Doc’s dirt. After all, my grass delivery to Impulse the other day was a real highlight of his latest video (starting at 14:47):
