I can do Summuerish now.

Yeah... I'm not sure its the darkness that sucks or the edgey chill that is constant that I am tired of. I know in the middle of summer when its 97 out I will be whining about the heat but heck... I really do like the sunlight. What if we did one month of summer then one month of winter?



Okay...ah.... two and two? Perpetual 72 degree would suck.. how bout between 50 and 80? Come on!

Blah.

This was the first full week of work after the holidays. It was tough. Five full days in the row was not really the problem..it was the problem of other people still on vacation that caused lots of delays. More delays in the future. My regular gripe of not enough information or incorrect information or vague information has continued into the new year. What would I have hoped is that clear and concise directions were delivered instead of documents that only go to confuse the subject instead of illuminate it. Go ahead and complain.. You will be told you need to figure it out. No.. That is not the deal. Email takes a lot of time of my day.. lots.

A few more shots of the trip to Clines Corners... I was trying to get some shots of billboards but we were moving too fast and the angle cause too much bokeh to the shot. But the idea is there...and some polars came out but they are not that good.

Lets hope people read and heed instead of read and repeat. Track record so far...not so good.


The attack of the Clines Corners signs....


Count them as we go....One..two...free fowa..


This turned out the way I wanted it too..... Could be brighter...the focus is very nice....


Fallout 4 portions...

I was in Imgur last night and someone posted a fuzzy shot and said... go to this tower in the North East sector.. go to the top and flip the breaker and watch what happens... What happens.. It let out two big Deathclaws that decided to attack the local legendary raiders below.. funny.. But more raiders showed up after. Loved this shot.. great angle.


Carrying too much and can't run.. that is always the problem... I am walking with cement buckets on my feet all the time.... makes defending or trying to foil attacks very hard...

Oberland Station rebuilt with cement walls and turrets... very large settlement housing. Not completely done. The build zone is on a hill... so very easy to work with.. Uh...NOT.


Traders crossing paths...With Rabbits on the side... First time I saw it.... I sadly have traders going everywhere, every which way, and they show up in packs that unfortunately draw attacks like crazy.

Greentop Nursery..  almost perfect but where the house is ( I am standing on at this point ) I cant set cement blocks so its walled in back. Its working so far. Attacks always come from the right side of this screenshot so there are twenty gun turrets on that wall alone. Stupid synths. The kink in the wall is due to an overhanging tree branch I can set a cement block near.


Nordlinger Beach rebuilt. Massive area to cover and I didn't use it all. The biggest problem is that some of the items that are on the ground cause you to be unable to set walls down and you have to work around it.. it's a big pain. Right after I finished this it was attacked at the same time as another settlement... One raider blew up 8 guns and three plants.. How I have no clue how...and the plants and half the guns healed themselves... . I put more walls up.

 Kingsport Lighthouse. From the lighthouse.. which is nice. Its a temp wall. I have to figure out how to set it with all the damn ground trash problems.


The Slog. Resort run by strange people. Wood metal walls for the most part. No time and supplies to cement wall it yet. Nice and comfy though. Lots of guns.


Outpost Zimonja... The place Raiders go to die. Since the game zaps them into the middle of the settlement even with four block high walls I felt no compunction to not ringing that area with gun turrets... Raiders last about five seconds. Stupid game.


Hangman's Alley. Stupid place. Its an alley and there is a settlement in it. Freakin hard to secure. More cement blocks. Many. Had to go two levels on the housing to fit all the idiots who want to live there. Guns everywhere because the game zaps raiders in wherever.

The Silly places and poses the game makers create with the teddy bears... I wished I had started taking screenshots of the game earlier. It's sitting on a hot plate.

I think I get more frustrated with trying to lay down walls then I do with the silly goules that jump into your face all the time. People have said that they have finished the main story and gotten bored with the game. I have not. I've stopped chasing the main story line and have been spending most of my time between farming.. building up settlements and the odd quest on the side. So far two new places and one found place. It's better than running the streets and getting picked up for loitering at street corners.

I will probably play it through this time and then try it a different way next time.. in a year or two. Hopefully there will be some DLCs on this one. It would be cool if they did some expansion packs with more areas to build on... but I'm still just making walls. Big .. Thick.. Huge... WALLS!

Maybe next weekend I will feel up to going ballooning. Still in a funk about it all. Bad thing to get into and hard to get out of.

Oh.. and I could be watching football but I don't watch football.... Well a bit for background sound.

I have no clue who is where in the standing and what or when the Superbowl is.
