12 days and counting, OBX here we come!!!!! Got way too much to take care of before heading down to North Carolina but that's a good problem to have. And with a holiday weekend between now and then it'll all get taken care of. I've got a pile amassing, one might guess that I'm going on tour if it wasn't for the beach gear. Couple of guitars, couple amps, set of bongos intermingled with beach chairs, towels, bocce ball. Least I forget to mention the paper plates, beer pong balls, dish soap, bug spray and pool rafts. (Lol)
Hitting up a local surf shop at lunch tomorrow and "re-gearing" myself. I've got a 6' 11' gun (hot rod surf board for you land locked folks) that I pull out maybe about once a year, if that. The surf in Jersey is not what I surfed my college years in North Carolina. From time to time the thought crosses my mind of getting a starter board to fool around with up here. But dropping $600 or more for a board I'd only use from time to time seems a bit much..... so going to hearken back to my youth and get a new bodyboard, fins and rash guard. Won't spend nearly the same amount of money and will get three times more use. Can ride regardless of how good the waves are.
In other news, got the call from the Devils today about my season tickets getting delivered. I'm penciled in for next Wednesday or Friday. They're still figuring out schedules. Don't know which player but of course I'm hoping for my favorite player, David Clarkson. Regardless of who they send I'm thrilled. One of the Devils, a freaking NHL player is going to roll into my office and hand over my season tickets. I would have them come here to the house but my place in general but even worse with all this stuff for vacation. The Devils website had an article about the guy who won this last year, so I don't want to be "that guy" ya know. Much better for them to come to my nice professional office for my few minutes of awesomeness!!!
Happy Tuesday to everyone out there in SG land!
