If you are in a spaceship that is traveling at the speed of light, and you turn on the headlights, does anything happen?

Steven Wright

 

Survived another night. Cats fed and one feral cat rescued. It is going to be a rough couple of days while she gets used to her siblings again.

I made hot sludge for breakfast. Instant oats, hot water, honey and cinamon. Add a little oatmilk stir and you have tasty brown sludge. Don’t worry made hot coffee too.

I made a deal with myself, stay home do litterboxes or go in to pickup freight. TBD after coffee.

No vitamins the daily dispenser is empty needs refilling. I will do that while I drink my coffee.

Solar panels are producing like crazy, over 13 AMPS last I checked. That’s good. I drained the batteries playing Starfield, down to below 60%.

After vitamin refilling I will play for a bit. I am converting the worst starship to the best one, just to see if I can. Yup, I am rebuilding and redesigning the Frontier into a Class C ship. Those of you that play understand.

The reason I play? Starfield is as close as I will ever get to space. I don’t think NASA is hiring disabled 66 year old men to become Space Pilots. I was born at the very begining of the Space race. I was born when Sputnik launched, I watched with wide eyed anticipation as Armstrong landed on the moon. Now I get to do the same.

 

Unfortantely the game is a little prophetic, with the destruction of Earth. I see that happening.

Just like now there are bad people in space, I play as a Ranger, a take off of the Texas Rangers. I fight the bad and help the good.


Litterboxes got done. Solar panels didn’t produce enough power. The gen is running. As you saw in the pictures the sun is down

I am spent, soaked in sweat. Soon to play a bit more Starfield. All I have to do is kill a hundred or so trained veteran mercenaries, then I am done for the day. No problem. Huh.
