Surf Omega, notes from the Target.

Last ride, 10/30/2014

   Time change. End of Daylight Savings Time. Beginning of 5pm darkness. Least there's Halloween festivities. But wait... no little boxes of milk duds? Walmart runs out of the small bags of M&Ms? Are these people TRYING to send me over the edge? I've even found myself gorging on M&Ms straight outta the big bags instead of the proper way; one color at a time.  I've gone rogue.  But, I digress. The real issue here is our Omega; the end of our weekly surf sessions for the year.  It has been said, "sometimes you find yourself in the middle of nowhere, and sometimes in the middle of nowhere, you find yourself."  For us the ocean is where we find ourselves. Each week when we leave the beach we have found a little more of ourselves than we had before. Knowing this week would be our last until Spring, we had high hopes for one last blast of stoke. Alas, upon arrival we find ourselves facing the lowest tide of the year with barely knee-high albeit clean, left breaking waves. But, DWatt sprinted in like it was the beginning of a new season. Maybe it was that he saw the potential.  Maybe it was the dying rays of the last sunset. With barely enough light to discern one small set from the next, the Wattman managed to jump several short backside rides. Stoke realized. Nice end in fine fashion. Still got the weekends... I suppose. Not the same.

Thursday low-low's.  Holidays and 66th, 10/30/2014.

   Leaving the beach the Journey led us to Ponzetti's Pizza on 144th. An OC family owned institution since 1962, DWatt was old friends with the owners so we gave them a look-see.  This being off season, and a bit early for Thursday Night Football the place was somewhat quiet. Maybe 6 others during our tenure.  Beers were ordered. As if to further expunge our season the Summer Shandy I ordered was literally the last.  Killed the keg. Like that keg represented the last surf. Damn it Jim!
 We put in our food request of BBQ Chicken Pizza (this is what they do), and Buffalo Hot Wings. Service was prompt and we delved into the pizza which was quite good.  The wings didn't make the minimum cut. Not real spicy. Not real there. After a closing round we called it a night. The mid-week, non-surf, very much off season begins.
