So Long Summer


Happy last day of summer. 
Or Merry Autumn Eve. 
Do you have a good summer? 
Mine was OK. 
It would have been cooler if I got invited to our local My Little Pony Motorcycle Club but I guess some dreams aren't meant to happen. 
Seriously, we had a few good trips and made some awesome memories.
I could have done without the month of triple digit weather, the smoky air and more COVID.
Maybe the fall will be better? 



Happiness 

I am happily domesticated. 
I have been for a long time but I don't think it dawned on me until recently.
I really enjoy being at home with Mrs. Shife, Kyle, Hayden and Ms. Frizzle. 
Or if we do go out and do something, I would rather do it with them.
Does this mean I am becoming an adult? 
Damn it. 
Why didn't you guys warn me about this? 

Happiness #2

Happy anniversary to my better half, Mrs. Shife.
We will be celebrating #17 this week. 
She is awesome and I am a lucky guy. 
Probably a big reason why I like being happily domesticated. 

Crushed 

Hayden with help of Kyle made a video for me to share with my blogging buddies. 
What do you think?
Can you tell where Kyle helped out? 

Best practices 

And here's a life tip, if you really want to mess with someone and drive them crazy, change the language settings on Spelling & Grammar in Word. 
Mine somehow how got changed to Italian so every word I typed had a big red underline. 
It was driving me pazzo.

Meme dump









I am better than I was. I will be better than I am.

I will persevere. I will keep moving forward. I will be the stream.

  1. Sound effects by Kyle?

    This is true. At work, when associates don't sign out when they leave one of our many computers, I will change their language settings to either Spanish or French. I do find it amusing.

    Mrs Shife is very lucky!

  3. One year I was tutoring in the school district main
    building and the $&*# computer was set to
    some crazy language. And nobody could fix it.
    Enjoy Fall and Happy Anniversary!!
    xoxo :-)

  5. Well, Happy Anniversary to you and the Missus, and cheers to many more.

    I, too, have that I'd-rather-be-at-home-or-anywhere-with-Carlos thing. It is kind od adulting, I guess, and, for me, better late than never!

    Kyle's sound effects were spot on!

  6. I have accidentally changed my own Facebook to Portuguese. Luckily, I can understand French and Spanish enough to put it back the way it was. I feel the way you do about summer-lots of wonderful memories, but those temperatures, ugh. And Covid, YUCK. We didn't battle the smoke like we have the summers prior to this. Happy 17th Anniversary! Hope you get a chance to enjoy yourselves.

  7. Happy Anniversary to both you and Mrs. Shife! Before I retired I once had someone turn the screen on my monitor upside down. I enjoyed Hayden and Kyle's video! Thank them for me. ; )

  8. Yay!
    Happy anniversary!
    And summer was ok. It kind of went too fast, I think. But I like summer overall, so I'm biased.
    Heh. Becoming and adult.

    XOXO

  9. If I ever ended up in a public bathroom making skin contact with the floor, I'm not sure enough disinfectant in the world exists....

  11. Happy Anniversary to you and your Mrs.! I also think it's wonderful that you are content just spending time with your immediate family. It would seem to show that you have got a good thing going!

  12. My Little Pony Motorcycle Club! Bahahaha! I remember when my son told me about Bronies. Lol! I managed to change some setting on my TV to where a creepy woman’s robotic voice would verbally narrate my actions on my Roku. Took me weeks to get rid of it.

  13. I don't see the benefit of growing up.

  14. Happy Anniversary! And what, we were supposed to Grow Up at some point?

  15. I like being a grown-up. I can make my own decisions. Right after I get out of work, and make supper, and clean up the kitchen, and...

  19. Happy anniversary! Love that first meme! Fall has arrived here and the weather is definitely cooler (it dropped 20 degrees the first day of fall).
