“It’s Apple-Pickin’ Time”
It was a fun day in the Stoltzfus family this Saturday. We went to a local orchard where we met a family from across the river and picked $40 worth of apples — Golden Delicious, Red Delicious, and Jonathon. The kids had a blast, and we forgot to bring our camera. However, the other family brought theirs and got some good pictures.
This afternoon, I finally listed a Wii and Wii Fit on eBay. Hopefully it will go well. Unless I make out really well, I don’t think I’ll try it again. It is always surprising to me how much some people are willing to pay to get what they want right away. When we bought our Wii and Wii Fit, I waited until I could get it for the retail price at local stores. If I bought them on eBay I’d pay at least a 20% premium. The Wii Fit is already selling for more than I paid for it.
Early this evening the Phillies won and clinched the division title, so I’ll be enjoying the MLB playoffs this year (my wife is sooo excited, let me tell you).
Later in the evening we figured out how to play Mario Kart Wii over the internet and played with some friends from Wisconsin. Fun stuff. I won on the courses I’ve played before, and lost badly on the courses I didn’t know. We’ll do it again for sure. Mario Kart 64 was my favorite Nintendo 64 game in college and Mario Kart Wii is even more fun.
Right now I’m watching Penn State play Illinois in their Big Ten opener. I bought a KWorld tuner box with D-Sub output to we could play our Wii without buying a full-fledged TV. With the tuner we can watch TV (or play Wii) on our LCD monitor. Along with that we can pick up digital TV signals as well. We still rarely watch TV, but I am taking advantage of it during college football season (and now the baseball playoffs).
So that was our day. A Penn State win would cap it off nicely.
