Greetings From Andrea, notes from the Target

Andrea's itinerary

  Summer is just about on top of us.  Hot days, full beaches, warm water, great waves.  We got none of those.  Instead, the hurricane season greeted us in the form of Tropical Storm Andrea.  She blew her skirt up the East Coast a bit inland dumping plenty of rain.  SE winds up to 20 knots churned up Holidays at 66th and a higher than usual tide stole all the power from the knee to occasional waist high closing swell.  DWatt managed to squeeze a few frontsides as the gray, windy conditions made for a short session.

   Water still in the 60F low lows but rising... always a good sign.  New camera means an easier target... and as a couple Hard shots prove, the progression thru pain will not be missed this year.

 










      Weather conditions took us to a strip mall up north on 118th.  Our second visit, but first rating of Whiskers Pub.  Nice local sports pub whose obvious loyalties lie with the Washington Redskins.  Our Barkeep was quick with our much needed brews though the selection was slim.  Ice cold. I mean EVERY glass he poured was iced.  Nice.  The wing selection was average, so we went with our gold standard.  Hot Buffalo (covered in jalapenos- a plus), and house BBQ.  Food service a bit slow considering the near empty bar.  However, both wings were above average in taste, meaty, and hot.  Excellent classic rock selection played loud enough to enjoy.  Plenty of flatscreens.  Nice, comfortable bar made more so if there was a good local game on. May garner a return engagement during football season.
