From Day Dreams of a Spaced Out old Man comes

Have you ever wondered what the Tyranosaurus Rex looked like back when had it's beginnings?

 

Some new evidence suggests (suggests; not absolute) they began in a form like birds. Known as Petinosaurus!

As far as my Mom was concerned she trained me to be a cowboy.

She didn't realize I was learning all those home schooling courses my older brothers and older sister left out because they wanted to get out to play with friends their own age. By the time I was six I had a full grasp of stuff, had I known, would have gotten me into first college courses in laboratory work, biology, chemistry, Algebra, Trig, Geometry, psychology, and all the stuff I learned having fun because no one told me that I would have been preparing for a career. I am glad I didn't know because I have continued to have fun with the science of the ages history and all the others combined without the interferences of adolescents inhibitions and adult inhibitions.

Just because I have none of the experiences which would have occurred if I had known that the courses of educations were meant to become a means of support I don't have a problem finding other uses for the tools. While not having had a teacher, trainer, mentor, or lady friend try and turn me into a bread winner and drag me through all the reasons people don't want to continue their education after they reason they have had enough and know enough to get by I find more. While all the things that the educational tools I have learned to use give me leads to a lot of great discoveries that would make any philosopher/archaeologist green with envy.

I am only saddened by knowledge I gained and the fact I met no one along the way that I could share the delightful experiences that are only gotten because I went on without roadblocks, mentor interruptions about what could happen if, and without mental blocks that occur when too many teachers try to draw my focus along the path they think they have fully tread the distance of.

Farewell!

I am not a quitter in all things.

 

The day that I am tapped for my DNA by the most advanced scientists on Earth I suspect they will put it in a video player that can see what all my family history is. I learned about that possibility from 2K games from playing Assassin's Creed. DNA research is really an ongoing scientific reality.

 

Knowing how long it could take to watch the entire life of all my ancestors, I hope they don't put it in a repeating loop so it goes on and on since it likely will show the entire past connecting all my ancestors lives to me in the DNA strand.

 

Repeating it until it gets where my lift left off playing the day I succumb to my physical body wearing out.

 

I prefer to play video games rather then hang out at a senior center where people are strangers to each other even though they have lived most here for most of their lives. The only one here in the city allows only 55 and older people to visit and play pinochle to pass the time between meals, getting visitors, and shows put on by local groups. Also the occasional musicians visit and play western music for them to dance to. They have two pool tables, with pool sharks keeping them in use when they are around, but no one to play the game with when the usual crowd is there. No Rock and Roll no Footloose, , no rap, and No Square Dancing?!

 

I recently started another new game playing the Skyrim Anniversary Edition. All I can say about it is... Wow!

 

I hope some day to rest in peace in a life giving system so Mr. House from New Vegas isn't the only one who carries on while the Earth's people restore the planet too. Or do not feel my soul disturbed by the vibes from a looping DNA video of my family history after my physical body has turned to dust.

 

The Global Citizen's Concert is starting in a couple more hours and being broadcast LIVE! From New York! It's Saturday Afternoon Daylight Savings Time.

I have been shelling and eating peanuts for about an hour now. I have Skyrim AE running with the background music playing while the game is paused waiting for me to return to play. My Skyrim character occasionally hammers at the construction table in the Hearthfire home's cellar while I crack the peanut shells to free the nuts inside to get the salted peanuts inside out so I can eat them.

 

I remember someone told me that people walked around with a tray hanging from a loop going around the back of their neck. They were selling different stuff. They would shout; Hotdogs, hot roasted peanuts, soda pop, and beer.

 

I never got a bag at a baseball game. I recall some old timer saying the peanuts in their shell were still hot right out of the kitchen. Hot unshelled, salted, peanuts were still warm to the touch when you caught the bag tossed to you. I think the elder said that back then they charged a nickel for a hotdog in a bun. They had mustard, ketchup, and pickles too add if you wanted them. I think he said a penny was what it cost for a bag of hot unshelled salty peanuts.

 

I think they shouted that they were hot roasted peanuts?

 

I found some unshelled peanuts at a place where a person sells the salted peanuts still in their shell. They must have boiled them in saltwater to get them that way? I can't imagine how they could have gotten the salt taste in through the shell onto the peanuts by roasting them?

 

Maybe there was hot roasted popcorn and peanuts being sold by one vendor, hotdogs by another, and beverages by yet another vendor. That would make more sense. imo!

Ah! The moments of turmoil due to body aches and pains has been reduced. Again the play from video games inspired me to get out for a morning stroll. A walk until I became limber. Waking from dream sleep views of moving about talking to people reminded me of how outgoing a person I am. Even in my sleep when dreaming I travel further from where I am known.

Today I had joints stiff from laying on them and cutting off the circulation. My hand on the left arm was tingling only moments after I found it limp as a ragdoll's. After the first quarter mile I sensed the voice of reason struggling with the voice of fun about the idea of turning back. Which would have only given me a full half mile of morning exercise. I decided to continue walking farther away from the warm blankets and comfy pillows.

At about a mile my finger tips began tingling when my circulation improved. I noted my heart had begun to pump at 70 beats a minute. I was strolling, not running! For those who might be analyzing all the pertinent conditions I was not interested in breaking any records to get into the Track and Field book. Although my age could rouse a scientist's attention that studies and records that kind of stuff. I stopped a couple of times.

I stopped to look at the scenery from a bridge where I was standing at it's northern connection to the land. A view along the river for several miles filled my mind. I searched for birds in the air, I turned to watch the water below for fish soaring out of the water to catch a bit of breakfast, and looked for other's along the paths beneath the bridge for people and beasts to hike along.

Other then vehicles crossing the bridge I spied only a couple birds among the cloudy sky.

I continued to stroll. I decided not to stop until I got across the bridge. Old as I am it looked like a bit of a challenge. To avoid quitting I have I learned not to pondered any thought except getting to the end of my quest. No obstacles occurred, no persons appeared traveling in the opposing direction, and no interruptions occurred to my thought. The clouds parted as I strove to the next point I chose to reach after I got across the road. A traffic light showed me a hand warning me not to cross just then. I relaxed. Study the traffic lined up waiting for the green light. I took two steps while the lights still showed me no welcome. As my third step touched the asphalt the green character appeared.

I managed more than three miles. All the while my bodies evening sleep knotted muscles became warmed. Limbering up. I took in air through my nose and exhaled through my mouth. A good practice to avoid getting a dry throat. I made it all the way across the way to the central street. Turned west from my southern journey. A place of business I intended to visit was the finish line for me.

After taking care of business I was pleased with what we accomplished. It being nearly noon I decided to call a cab service and get a lift to a place to dine.

After lunch I rested up. Pondering while I did what to do. My memories from the past rose to my conscious with all the advisory directives from my youth. I began to find it perturbed me to think that I had learned so many skills for making a cozy living area. I became perturbed because none of the people I knew or children were available to do tasks around the property. They are all at work or in school.

It's Monday! A school day. The internal twins who advise went on without pause ignoring the fact that I had tired of all the suggestions they read off one after another. Since the two need to get some notice I quieted them by reminding myself I do not receive any benefits for the tasks I am a master of; anymore.

The reasonable one argued with the other who offered fun things to do. I reminded myself, I have Skyrim AE and am now preparing to explore the reaches and look in on places I have yet to nose around in. Even after several years of exploring Skyrim's land there are still places there I have yet to explore. While I wait for a new chariot to arrive in RL I can still keep the delight of my youth alive for exploring.

Only in and around among the video game's places. It's a great game to keep that part of our mind's alive. I'll be roaming around Skyrim until the new vehicle arrives ordered for transporting among the living and museums where they left their discoveries.

I found a museum in a place called Glendive Montana that offers training for anyone interested Paleontology, Osteology, and Archaeology. Real life; Seeking where others have left their markers on maps and in journals. Seeking what were and could not find for one reason or another. I might seek what they were seeking where a note in a journal for anyone who might be inspired to seek out the marvels they had been. To possibly find more! Carry on aiming to find more bits and pieces to add to what they had and maybe even complete the search for what they began with.

Hm? Next Spring will be a delightful time for me. I will go on! Old as I am, still spry, and desirous of seeking one thing I have always thought was real important to me. Important to me, at least.

Yesterday the News from Steam Festivals reawakened my memories of all those times I spent playing Fallout video games. (Fallout, Fallout 2, 3, 4, New Vegas, and Fallout 76.)

 

Fallout has been around for 25 Years? :woot: When did Interplay give us the first Fallout video game?

 

In 1997, "Interplay" developed and released Fallout, a successful and critically acclaimed role-playing video game set in a retro-futuristic post-apocalyptic setting. :woot:

 

 

[Pagafyr]

I tried to visit the 25 year Celebration of Fallout games. I didn't get on in with it because I haven't had any account with the three Web chat services for over 10 years. Never got an invite from friends for Discord, so, I didn't bother getting a microphone, headset for it and opening an account with Discord.

 

I decided to relieve my excitement, from thinking about getting involved in the 25 year celebration, by getting my bicycle out of storage and going for a ride. I had not ridden it in almost ten years.

 

My trek on it was an eight mile stop and go with lots of fizzle, fumble, stumble, bump, and a flat tire. At near the end of my trek on the bicycle I got three deep abrasions on the inside of my left ankle above the Achilles heel. When the back tire lost it's air I stumbled trying to get moving before I realized it was flat. I had to walk the last mile or so.

 

I will be completing the search for all the shouts additional powers. I realized I never quite got them all. This time I am focused on just that. I will have to search on my own now as the Skyrim Greybeard Arngeir hasn't heard any whispers of late. The other three can't help since the others cannot speak without using the Thu'um.

 

With my improved heart rate beating at a nice 60 beats a minute, I am slightly wounded and healing up. This evening I will spend some time back at the computer playing Skyrim AE.

 

Game On!

[Pagafyr]

Skyrim SE. I completed the quests Skyrim's Greybeard Arngeir gave me and need to meet with the blade's leader to continue to get more shouts. Since a great deal of time has passed since I last played the game this far I have the good fortune to have forgotten a number of quests. I believe it is because I had so many mods I added to the game.

 

The mods I added are in the archives, also available at other websites. I feel comfortable with the new mods since Vortex has made a collection or two that almost meets all those previous mods.

 

Thus! Nvidia's new release of the update for their video cards Driver has removed the need for lighting, graphics, and color mods. The new DLSS 3 and new tool adding a creation kit really brought about all the focus from those kinds of mods that enhanced the game's scenery. Even for Morrowind.

 

The opening of a new game with Vortex after testing the Nvidia GeForce Experience launcher without Vortex as the starter needs my attention today.

 

After I downloaded the latest Driver for the RTX 30 series card; I launched the game Optimized by NGE without thinking. Wow! The only thing is; the mods loaded up with Vortex weren't installed, so that NGE when launched didn't appear to use them.

 

I desire to see Skyrim SE launched with Vortex when I play to see if the optimized settings are included and hold the same astounding image views, ray tracing, etc..

 

I hope Nvidia's RTX 30 series drivers will launch with the mods I set up when I launch Skyrim SE with Vortex.

[Pagafyr]

I've launched Skyrim SE with Vortex. Played for an hour.

 

The NVidia GeForce RTX 30 series video enhances the textures of wood, stone, etc., etc., is loaded too.

 

Vortex has all the NVidia Geforce Experience's Optimization that I chose and set up working.

[Pagafyr]

I like the way Vortex saves me time so I can play the games.

 

I really prefer playing the game; as my Tech days are long since passed. I just wanna plaaay! :happy:
