ShiftShade Blog

Good morning, 

It is 4am and I’ve been wide awake since 2am.  Got off work Fri morning at 7am after (4) 12 hour shifts.  When I got off, I slept until noon, trying not to sleep too long so I could sleep tonight (that worked well)!  As I sit hear watching sportscenter and type this blog, I am trying to decide on how I want this blog thing to work.  I want it to be about managing Shift Work.  Maybe identifying the negatives and discuss what works for us.  Anyway, I am going back to bed and toss and turn some more, got to be at ballfield with 7 year old son in the morning!

I want to introduce the entire Shift Shade Pro Staff, Blake “Scoot” Hodge.  Blake is the “2007 Sportsman’s Warehouse Columbia, SC Junior Duck Calling Champion” and the “2008 SC State Junior Duck Calling Champion”.  He is going to Stuttgart, AR this November to compete in the Junior World Championship!!! 

Scoot is a determined 12 year old that excels in academics (straight A’s), sports (football and baseball) and the obvious, duck calling!  He has been nominated to the “Who’s Who Among Students” the last 3 years.  Blake is also a polite and thoughtful person.  His accomplishments are proof that hard work pays off!!

We are very proud of Blake and honored that he wears our Shift Shade Logo!!  We wish him continued success and will keep you posted on the Shift Shade Blog of his accomplishments.

Since his dad (Daryl) is looking over my shoulder as I type, I will mention him also.  He is Scoot’s biggest fan and puts a lot of energy in supporting Blake in all of his activities.  To be a world class duck caller it takes a tremendous amount of determination, time and desire.  Scoot and his dad practice every day.

VERY EXCITING!!  The first entry in my new blog!  I am not exactly sure what a blog is but the best I can figure is a place to put whatever you want?  My plans for this blog are to post things dealing with Shift Shade.  I have a lot of pictures to post and information that will help potential customers decide on whether Shift Shade is the right product for them.  If you are in the market for a window treatment then Shift Shade is probably not your product.  If you are in search of TOTAL DAYTIME DARKNESS then Shift Shade is your product.  I will explain later how Shift Shade works, how the idea evolved and anthing else you may want to know about Shift Shade.
