Didn’t get much done today for some reason.
Got on a call with my Distributor. I was looking to get some Pokemon that I pre-ordered a couple of months ago. Nothing for me. Turns out since I haven’t ordered any Pokemon in the last few years, I am at the back of the line.
We’ll eventually start getting Pokemon again. When? I don’t know.
Gran Turismo 5.
My son likes playing that game. He’s on a mission to buy a Lamborghini. In the game that is. He’s at 120,000 credits, only needs 160,000 credits to go.

Wednesday morning, let’s head to the Swap. Just got to drop the kids off at school first.
Not much there today. The guy I got all those Pokemon games from last time was there, and once again he didn’t have anything for me. I tried striking up a conversation with him, and realized he didn’t understand English! That’s ok. This whole time I thought he was going to bring me some more Video Games. I won’t give up on him, he’ll eventually find some more items for me.
We did not leave empty handed today. A nice gentleman had a copy of the Final Fantasy VII Advent Children OST. The first printing Outer Sleeve included! And, that my friends is something that I can’t pass up. He said I made his day better. He made mine better too!
Also got a 20% Coupon running on eBay at the moment. This one expires at the end of the month. I can’t remember what the Coupon Code is, but it’s automatically applied when you buy something.

Also picked up some Final Fantasy VIII Triple Triad cards. Just waiting for those to come in sometime next week.

Palos Hills Bargain Days! That’s what was the plan for the morning.
Driving around from garage sale to garage sale, it was like a car pool. The same four cars driving from one to the other.
Found some Minecraft Plushies that should do good at the shows, some 90’s cassette tapes, and a Chicago Fire Jersey from 2020. I’m a Fire fan, even though I don’t watch them as much as I used to. I stopped watching when they made the switch to Apple TV.

There was a big fat skunk out there today. Even with the Village Wide Garage Sale in Justice. I’ve come to realize that the only good day for Garage Sales is Thursday. The other days might be good, but they’re most likely already picked through.

It’s Saturday, got to wake up early and get moving. Took the two little ones with me today to make my rounds at the Swap in Alsip.
I thought I hit a jackpot early on, when I saw a case of Wii Games just sitting there. Right on top is Mario Kart. That tells me to take a closer look. I grab it and hand it to my daughter, and start going through all the games. I should check the cases before I get anything, and they were all empty. 
Time to keep moving.
Ended up finding a Power Pad for the NES. I don’t think anyone really used this. Even in the 80’s I can’t remember if any of my friends had it. Got to test it out now, I’ll just have the kids try it out somehow.
It was still early, so we went to a second Flea Market, this one was in the city. And this was maybe 3 times as big as the one in Alsip. Found a couple of Wiis that I probably over paid for.
Time to head home, an get ready for Toy Con Toy Show.

Early wake up call once again.
TIme for the Toy Con Toy Show. Grabbed my daughter and off we went.
It’s a Star Wars Celebration, and there were Storm Troopers walking around. It was a fun show, even though it wasn’t that busy. We still made a decent amount of sales.
The vendor next to us didn’t show up, so we got some extra table space. I told my daughter that if she sells anything that I put on the table, I’ll give her 5 bucks. I then gave her the task of making it presentable. She kept rearranging everything, even built a wall with all the boxes.
She then asked if I can put the Minecraft plushies on her table. I gave them to her, and she sold them. All 3 of them.
She was proud, and then she got bored and just wanted to play Roblox.

Decided to go see the Chicago Fire for their Wild Card match on Wednesday. Picked up some tickets, but we still haven’t told the kids about it yet. It’ll be a nice surprise for them. I told them we’ll go to a game this year, and this might be our last chance, so we’re going.
After that, we got ready for the night, and jumped into a game of 99 Nights in the Forest. And, what a game it was. we got all the way to 86 days. It would have been more, but my kid jumped into the Bear Den where the third child is and he got mauled. I tried saving him. Even took care of one of the bears, went back to camp to heal up, and the cultist attack was happening, all while the deer was chasing me down!
