Missus ORPO and I did some galavanting around today.................
We went up to Cambria and out on Moonstone State Beach.......................................You read that right folks.................Moonstone. Californijuanastan, ya know.

Dude.......

We also hit Morro Strand State Beach for a bit.

Mother
Mother
Ocean
I have heard you call
Wanted to sail upon your waters
Since I was three feet tall
You've seen it all

Then we went to Tap It Brewing in San Luis Obispo.....The Barrelhouse is from our stop in Paso Robles on Friday. Central Coast Craft Beer is Awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sunday Night Beer and The News

Watching KTLA after some Mythbusters and the new Cooking Channel All Star Academy...............
Got this at the WinCo in Bakersfield last night after the Condors game.

Adventures in Beer

Missus ORPO and I went to Palmdale on a stuffed toy animal run. Saturday is the Teddy Bear Toss Game in Bakersfield at the Condors Hockey Game.
We decided on BJ'S for Dinner........The Cru was excellent! I also procured a new glass as well. After a stop at Wally World in Lancaster for Holiday Desert makings and a 12 of Sam Adams Winter Lager, we returned to the Casa de Sharon y Glenn. I must admit that the Winter Lager is quite good!

What are they building? Old Olympia brewery coming back to life(plus a bit of a rant)

A friend of mine had this little ditty on her Facebook page....................
As an old Pacific Northwest Navy Hand, it does warm my heart.
We had two flavours back in those halcyon days......................Olympia and Rainier....................
Both left us in recent years. I was working my ballast train along the Columbia Gorge in Washington State a few years ago, staying in The Dalles, Oregon. The Fred Meyer had the Rainier. Olympia was shut down by the parent Miller/Coors in 2003. The Rainier was brewed in Irwindale, California.................let that sink in.............................Irwindale, California................
But enough ranting.............................
The Olympia Brewery may come back to life......................................

I may have to find an excuse to head north to see some "old friends!"

Developers have announced ambitious plans to bring craft brewing, restaurants, retail and more to the old Olympia Brewery in Tumwater. (Dana Commercial)

Friday night unwind

I have to work tomorrow. Show time is 0800.
Already Showered and Shaved.
I am trying the Beck's Sapphire for the first time.
I like it.
It has a nice almost spicy hint with no bite.
The Garcia and Vega is quite nice as well.
