Fading Fast, notes from The Watt

  It didn't take long for Autumn to firmly establish itself.  Since feeling the initial blast of temperature drops into the lower 60's last week, we finally got a reprieve back into the 70s.  But the evenings and early mornings remain in the upper 40s to 50s seemingly whisking away summer before anyone could mount a debate.  I mean Damn!  I've even gotta wear the full suit.  Not because of the water...still upper 60s warm, more the cool evening winds, tonight, outta the Northeast.  Nothing stopping the sun from setting a few minutes earlier each day leaving no doubt our weekly surf sessions are fading fast.  On a sweet tip - this time of season provides consistent surf.  We've had waist+ bangin' since the last weekend and this evening's session, no exception.  Not the cleanest.  But fun...even more so once I git acclimated to this f#%kin' rubber again.

NE onshores, Backsides provided 10/6

  Target and I came to a revelation tonight.  We are not so much in pursuit of wings that exceed Smitty's tradition (which we do value), but rather enhance our experience.  Not so much a replacement as an addition.  What is life without choices, eh?  More choices = Enhancement.  An augmentation to our post session experience, so to speak.  Tonight...Blue Ox Bar and Grill.  

Endless Summer Cruisin' thru the weekend

   A restaurant tryin' to do the sports bar thing, not quite pulling it off.  The bar was airy, but a bit bright.  Slow tonight.  Definitely off-season here.  The bartender called it "winter."  I mean C'mon Man!  Next thing ya know you'll have 'em puttin' up Christmas lights... actually the town Has already started.  The music play, a poor mix.  All over the board.  No focus (but no Christmas music either...good thing).  Beer selection fair, but more importantly cold.  Service was good.  Pricey though, getting only 8 wings an order vs. our accustomed 10.  But...they were good.  The Maryland style (Old Bay) were excellent.  Hot.  Crispy. Tender.  The Spicy Honey BBQ - I liked.  HT not as enthralled.  They were fat.  Well cooked. Just couldn't get past the Stoke Killer lack of football on the main screens (Oregon tonight!).  This is the life we live.  The hunt continues into yet another week...
