Happy Hour

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

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

"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."

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

Beer Blogging from Upstate NY

We sneaked Missus ORPO into Syracuse NY so she could surprise our eldest son on his 40th birthday. My daugher in law did a bang up job on it as well!

Missus ORPO sampling something a bit lighter than what my son, daugher in law and I like.



Mrs. ORPO having poutine, eh!

His Mom said he did a double take!

San Luis Harbor, Firestone Walkerin Paso Robles and James Dean

We came home today from the Central Coast. We did however make a few short stops on the way...........................
First Up was Avila Beach and San Luis Harbor.

Seals Chillin






















Some of these guys are HUGE!







The nice lady we asked to take this actually made us set up for this shot!






Firestone Walker................A New Flavor was procured!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It is so very, very yummy. I am saddened that I never got to share something like this with Buck.


James Dean
Little James Dean, up on the screen 
Wond'rin' who he might be 
Along came a Spyder and picked up a rider 
And took him down the road to eternity 

James Dean, James Dean, you bought it sight unseen 

You were too fast to live, too young to die, bye-bye 
You were to fast to live, too young to die, bye-bye 
Bye-bye, Bye-bye, Bye-bye, Bye, bye
