One of the best things about having a questionable memory when something you posted (but don’t remember) pops up and it makes you laugh because that dude has the same messed up sense of humor you do…

On the wall in the Rainforest Pyramid in Galveston. It really stuck with me…

On vacation with my sweetie, today we were treated to a day at the Texas RenFest — it was so incredible!!!

A grocery store Starbucks being the gold at the end of the rainbow is really depressing…

I can’t find my coffee. I guess I’ll get another cup and warm it up… #DOH #ADHD

When you’re an adult, you can buy cookie dough, put some in a bowl, and eat it with a spoon. So far that’s the only benefit to adulthood I’ve discovered.

Farm still up for sale, but we already sold the tractor last fall… Had to buy a fixer-upper to mow the lawn. But hey, now the farm comes with a John Deere tractor with mower deck and snowblower! 😜

I feel the urge to start a club…

Millie is trying to convince me she’s a Newfoundland so she can get 25% more treats. Because tariffs.

The power has been off long enough that I’m bored, so building fancy lamps rubber banded to battery packs for mobile lighting, lol. #IceStorm2025

My bottom braces have become full top and bottom braces. With bands. Good thing my job doesn’t involve speaking. Oh wait…

Just realized my, “Christmas Sweater,” which I wear every Christmas, isn’t a Christmas sweater at all. It’s just a Garfield sweater.

The grandpuppies bought me a gift… 🤣

Got all 3 into storage by myself! Once the farm sells, my plan is to install an EV conversion kit into at least one. 😃

YouTube is wacky. 2 years after publishing it, this video suddenly takes off. (This is a LOT of views for me) Talk about a slow burn… youtu.be/AghVl-P3bzc

I forgot how horrible Covid is if you have a subpar respiratory system. Wish me luck y’all. 😞

I don’t dislike Bluesky. But it’s still social media…

We call this “Long Dogging” — and for some reason it makes me smile when they splut flat belly on the floor like this. (The tail blur from pure joy makes it even better)

I don’t get it either, guys. #VOTE

Canvassing is WAY outside this introverted couple’s comfort zone. But it’s not just about us.

He’s not wrong, the math works…

My youngest, Lizzie, and my wife, Donna got to meet Tim Walz today when he stopped into the bookstore where Donna was working. :)

I don’t think I’ve shared any photos of my two granddaughters online, but I got permission from their mom. So I present, Dragon and Chainsaw. (Those are their Boppa-given names, the rest of the world knows them as Emmy and Murphy)

OK, all is once again right with the world. #green

When your former self creates a screensaver, and you don’t see it for years. And it’s funny all over again.

Made a couple friends fishing today. Harry the heron was MUCH closer than my cellphone photo implies. :)

And here I thought he looked like a potato…

Spot having a little side quest in my comics, where he befriends random creatures, is one of my favorite things ever. :)

Shawn Powers @shawnp0wers.com · 29/08/2024

It’s been almost TWO YEARS since the last comic! We’ve missed your wholesomeness, Blue. :)

I found a list of potential book titles I apparently left for myself in my notes app. I have no memory of writing these down, lol!

I mean, we’ve been married for almost 29 years. But way start rumors, Facebook…

SUPER stoked to read this @aptshadow.bsky.social book. Not out until Tuesday, but when your wife works at an Indie bookstore…

Me naming hard drives. Guess which is the 40gbps NVMe drive, and which is the large spinning disk… 😜

That thing when you KNOW you’re out of shape, but climb Spencer Butte with a group of fit coworkers, and get empirical evidence of your condition.

Shawn Powers @shawnp0wers.com · 03/05/2024

Five years since I’ve last flown. The only thing that has changed is laptops don’t get their own bins in security. Oh, and doors fall off planes now I guess?

Shawn Powers @shawnp0wers.com · 30/04/2024

Apparently I’m done working.
