Happy Hour

"IF A LIFETIME CAN BE LIKENED TO A DAY, THEN THIS IS HAPPY HOUR!"
BUCK PENNINGTON

Mother, Mother Ocean

Mother, Mother Ocean, I've heard you call
Wanted to sail upon your waters since I was three feet tall
You've seen it all, you've seen it all
Watched the men who rode you, switch from sails to steam
In your belly you hold the treasures, few have ever seen
Most of 'em dream, most of 'em dream
Yes, I am a pirate, two hundred year's too late
The cannons don't thunder, there's nothin' to plunder
I'm an over-forty victim of fate
Arriving too late, arriving too late

Yoda

"Size matters not. Look at me. Judge me by my size, do you? Hmm? Hmm. And well you should not. For my ally is the Force, and a powerful ally it is."
―Yoda, to Luke Skywalker

Counted the Stars

Counted the stars on the 4th of July
Wishing we were rockets bursting in the sky
Talking about redemption and leaving things behind
I have these pictures and I keep these photographs
To remind me of a time
These pictures and these photographs
Let me know I'm doin' fine
We used to be so happy once upon a time
Once upon a time
But the sun sank west of the Mendocino County Line
And the sun sank west of the Mendocino County Line

MCAS Miramar Air Show 2014

It was hot at the Show.
Really Hot. I spent a ton of money on bottled water.
Got three cool T Shirts, a raffle ticket for Royal Enfield Military Motorcycle, A set of cool dog tags with my name and the usual for Missus ORPO.
It was a good day.......I even hung around for the Blue Angels. I haven't watched them fly since I was still in the Navy at NAS Whidbey Island WA.
Without further ado, here are some pictures of the day..............

Didja get a new camera, Glenn? I notice your first shot is titled "DSC-0001."

I picked up a Nikon D3000 package from Sam's Club when I got my back disability after the increase........
I am still learning how to use all the features.

Funny. If I were taking pictures, I'd have some of the guys in their flight suits...

I will not go down and tell my children I didn't have the courage, the conviction, the commitment or the character to fight for this country...Don't go home and let your children down~~ LTC Allen West
