I hope everyone I have shared these fun times texting are safe out of the floods harmful path.

 

It rained so heavy here it knocked down trees, scared wildlife that normally only passes through at night as they ran for shelter in the old building outback. I know how it feels, I was where the flood surprised us twice and was on the clean up crew after both times.

 

I hope the blessings of your skills have given you a place of safety as we work through the changes in our Earth's weather.

I hope you weren't too badly impacted by this flood.

 

It's been raining more oftenly these latest days but it's far from the flood level and I don't live in a floodable area anyway.

Thank goodness i live in high ground, i hope Pagafyr is safe and well.

It got real wet. Still damp. The barrier that the elders constructed on the west side of the city is still holding. They built it after the second flood reached the eaves on everyone's houses. The first flood barely made a puddle in people's yards that lived along the Sun River. The second time the mountains got a lot more snow. When it melted on a hot spring day, the river rose and like a wave it crossed the land like an Ocean wave all the way from the Rocky Mountain Range west to the west side of town. The water made a new lake that lasted for about 5 weeks. I helped clean up two houses with a mud vacuum machine that second time.

 

Mktavish mentioned that where he lived in New Orleans that it was only a few inches above sea level. Orlando, Florida got flooded real bad with is not above that sea level mark where Mktavish lives.

 

Hey niph; Glad to read you're on high land. Hey Oblivionaddicted. Thank you both for your concern.

If you haven't got a UPS that modulates the surge from the power companies output you're paying almost twice as much as I am to your electric company, because the UPS can actually smooth the feed into your equipment and cost less for doing it.

 

I used to pay the electric company $80.00 big american (bucks) dollars a month. For the past 19 years I have had only a $40.00 payment with a few American pennies over the top.

 

Now if I had a house with solar panels, or wind generators, I could be selling electricity back to the electric company.

 

Ooo! Do I sense someone is going out to buy a new house, maybe even build one of their own design after learning to craft, I mean MOD, with one of the building construction kits like the G.E.C.K. that provided crafters, I mean MOD makers, a Fallout 3 construction kit?

Hey check out the new water mod that competes directly with realistic water 2.

They fixed some major seams in water so that is a no problem at all.

Wow! Water almost the way it looks in real life!

 

Advanced mod users will love that.

 

It's a little too technical setting it up though for someone like I used to be back when I was just barely making sense of mods and following the instructions once I realized that there were important steps to follow in the Mod writers Readme. There's no Readme with the Download so you will need to Remember to Click on TRACK the mod if you download it so you can get the step by step instructions to fine tune all the water views.

 

It's a lot of tweaking to do so it will work on your computer with your video card and equipment.

Its pretty simple setting it up through NMM the installer is pretty straight forward. :geek: :geek:

[Deleted54170User]

Pretty?!

 

I find it amusing that NMM: Nexus Mod Manager; MO2: Mod Organizer 2; V: Vortex. Vortex is easier than the earlier two, MO2 and NMM and yet they all provide the same basic functions. Only easier than the previous one.

 

NMM works for you because you're in love with it. I prefer moving on. So I moved on to Mod Organizer 2, and then Vortex. Mod Organizer 2 and then back to Vortex. Then MO2 and then with the latest upgrade to Vortex I downloaded it's back to Vortex.

 

Some day there may be another easier tool box full of stuff to make life easier, I know I have a whole tool chest full of tools that made life easier as I got older and weaker. Now! Hey! I am trying my best to act and be an old man, but it's more fun thinking and being myself than it is acting like someone I have no idea on how to act like.

 

So Vortex is now the new manager that is giving us a lesson in new and if I am going to continue to feel active and be myself the only way to do that is the hard way.

 

Learning something new to keep the brains muscles active is the hard way.
