Squeezing Out the Last Drops of Summer -notes from The Watt

 
   Evening air temps near 80 degrees, water in low 70s.  I'd say that is still pretty warm for us.   Squeezing the last few drops of summer outta the early fall, the sessions swell offered up some thigh highs with a rare waist here and there making for promising rides.  Problem was I didn't catch $hit until the sunset had turn the sky a near orangy purple.  Our Sony Digital is off for repairs, so a decent shot has literally become a "hard target" for HT using an older model Olympus.  Regardless, he does manage some artistic shots, no thanks to me.  The rides began pumpin' as I strung a few together in the waning moments of twilight. And, this led me to make that wave smashing, ride denying request..."one more ride."  Not tonight.

   Post surf's search led us to Duffy's Tavern in Montego Bay, 130th street. I am being truthful in saying that as patrons, we were the youngest in the house (that's sayin' somethin'...just sayin').  A local shuffle bowl league of retirees was in full swing when we got there, but that only seemed to enhance the atmosphere.  A true old OC locals bar, Duffy's had a nicely priced menu and decent selection of drafts.  The dark paneled interior added to the feel.  Our bartender, Ryan, excellent service.  The wings...we ordered Mild and "Kickin' Hickory."  Meaty, well cooked, very good taste.  Could have been bigger...maybe little more variety of sauces.  Still a great stop.  Very pleasant night. But like the summer, I do do not believe we want the quest to end just yet.
