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

Central Coast

We are at Vandenberg AFB VQ for the long weekend. It was time to get out of Dodge, ya know.
The required stop at Firestone Walker resulted in a full growler of Wookey Jack Black Rye IPA. The Blue Retired ID netted a discount of $5.00 off of the $27.95 regular fill price. They give a wicked discount to The Armed Forces Of The United States. If you ever get to Paso Robles, California, do stop by and find a flavour that you will surely enjoy.
About one and one-half miles to the south of this fine establishment is another one we discovered, Barrelhouse Brewing is another in the plethora of Central Coast Craft Breweries that I have come to enjoy and Missus ORPO loves the glass ware available at all of them.
Tonight's fare is the Wookey Jack as we relax a bit from the trip. Missus ORPO is out like a light. Yours truly is bringing you some pictures of the Wookey Jack................
When I set my growler on the bar, all I said was "Wookey" and viola, it was magically filled!!!!!!!!!!!!!!




Cheers to our most beloved friend and comrade, Buck Pennington. This one is for you my friend.
Tomorrow, I hope to have a review of the two 22 OZ bottles I procured from Barrelhouse..............Till then my dear friends!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
