    Barstow, Ludlow, Newberry Springs

    Those places should key the reader’s mind to something near and dear to ORPO’s heart and that is trains. Yes, my friends, I took a jaunt to the East along the Mojave and Needles Subdivisons of the BNSF. The pictures are in order, sort of. I started by attempting to get some from the 58…

  • 11:11:11

    This day is known in the United States of America as Veterans Day. In my childhood it was called Armistice Day by the wizzened, white haired old men in the little towns that I grew up in in Montana. When I lived on the Prairies of Southern Alberta in Canada, it was Remembrance Day. On…

  • Day trip to Baker

    We decided to run up the 15 to Baker. One of our favorite little places is there, that being Alien Fresh Jerky. I got a T shirt that after it is laundered will be posted. I did take the Trusty Nikon and I did get a few pictures taken. It was an aim and fire…

  • Monday run to Lancaster…..

    Pictures ensued….. I had to take a release form to my VA doc from my dentist. It seems he is worried about the mixing of medications used for doing the dental work that I need and the ones the VA has me on. Another fun process………..argh……… The dentist also thinks it is a good idea…

  • A look at the Hometown….

    I was actually baptized in the Church of Saint Jude Thaddeus……. It’s a long story, OK? Perhaps one of these days…… Enjoy the pictures……….. via Back on the Hi-Line at Havre

  • Ridgecrest run 

    I left my truck registration and insurance card at the DMV on Friday… It was off to retrieve it today. 

  • New Coffee Machine

    Mrs. ORPO bought a Kuerig 2.0 sometime back and I was introduced to using one on our last trip to the Central Coast. The billeting at Camp San Luis Obispo has replaced the traditional drip coffee makers with Kuerigs. I admit that they make a “damn fine cup of coffee.” OK, I love that line…

  • Funny Stuff 

    Found this one on Facebook….. Personal experiences with this 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

  • China Lake Air Show

    It was a small show. I was impressed by the way it was run though. The Blue Angels were there for their first show on the road. I have seen them so many times that I spend my time wandering through the static displays. The Brits and Dutch had their Test F-35s under the canopies…

  • Eyes of a Stranger

    Queensryche……………………… Eyes of a Stranger………………sometimes when I look in the mirror, I don’t know the man looking back at me…………………… All alone now Except for the memories Of what we had and what we knew Every time I try to leave it behind me I see something that reminds me of you Every night the…

  • 10 Ancient Warriors who were certified badasses (10 Photos)

    Germanicus During the height of the Roman Empire, Germanicus was universally recognized by soldiers, citizens and politicians alike to be the single most ferocious, merciless yet honorable warrior ever to be produced by Rome. Despite being born into the elite, Germanicus spent most of his life knee-deep in dead enemies on the battlefield, writing poetry…

  • Silent Lucidity

    I like Queensryche…………………… Hush now don’t cry Wipe away the teardrop from your eye You’re lying safe in bed It was all a bad dream Spinning in your head Your mind tricked you to feel the pain Of someone close to you leaving the game of life So here it is, another chance Wide awake…
