Bill,

Just so you know, there are *rules* we follow in using the English language.

"Went" is past tense. "Look" is present tense. The proper sentence would have been, "I went out and looked". "I will go out and look" is correct also, but not in your paragraph because you are refering to something you did before you did your typing.
