I went out with ex-coworkers when the old Eastway Plaza Wegmans closed. We drank a lot of tequila. The guy in charge of karaoke was practically begging people to come do it. Tequila won, and I sang "Should I Stay or Should I Go" by the Clash.

I should have gone.
Nice! Yeah I'm thinking about singing this Danzig song when I go back.. mainly due to my deep ass voice.



I feel like it's dark yet appropriate and non-offensive to the crowd there (but noone would know the song). If someone records it I'll share even if I bomb.

The two times I went to a karaoke bar were horrible. Not that I tried to sing or anything, ( the DJ didn't have 'Grandma was a Bullfrog' in his collection) it was the amount of wannabe losers that thought they were Elvis, or Madonna. Plus, overpriced drinks. Somethings never change.

Returning to this thread! Went back to the trailer park a couple weeks ago to check on everything. Me toilet leaks more than usual! (fresh water of course, not sewage) Ordered a kit off amazon to fix.

Finally (after 3 years now) hung out with other waterpark people aside from Kelvin-Chan after work. Gay Master Plumber Steve kept talking about this karaoke bar and I was like you know what bro I'm coming out there! My "supervisor" Alex texts me and asks "Are you going out with Steve tonight?" Well, I wouldn't put it EXACTLY like that but yeah man. So he showed up too! He only drinks like once per year. Downed his first drink fast af lol. I just don't "do" bars and always drink beer by myself unless it's a company event or something but lately I've thought ya know what maybe you should get out more.

Oh man the bizarre scene I saw unfold.. part of me wants to go back tho and actually sing. I might elaborate more later. Tho next time I'll only buy one drink (I had an old fashioned and a double rum w/ coke and my tab after tip was 40$!!!!)

Wait, it's...sharky where you swim? That sounds like a Jaws scenario waiting to happen!

Went out there with some dudes I've known since HS and man it was a blast hanging out in the trailer park and kayaking and such.

However, on the last day when we went to actual beach oth of them complained of water temp.. haha I dove right in. It's around 70F in October and the sun is still hot wtf. Wasn't even sharky which is weird for this time of year. No surfing was to be had despite bringing the board. I watched a tourist paddle out and pointed it out; "There he goes.. he ain't gonna catch.. OOH BOOM WASTED!!" Everyone (2 other surfers) was wiping out bad so I just swam lol.

Oh nah. Thanks for asking. My house got dodged. Even my fucking trailer park got dodged lol. It was a scary storm around here though with high winds, a few downed trees etc though

However, just a 2 hours drive to the west from my house is totally fucked. That's around the Boone area and everything even further west of Boone is worse.

It's horrible, man. The death toll will probably keep going up for a while.

Oh and the hour it hit here the waterpark expected me to come to work and boss man called me a sissy for texting him "Ain't going out in this shit".
FIRED! JK, I'll be there in the morning lol

Back to Salty Shores this weekend for a "bro trip"!

Saturday: DnD night. It is getting hot in the house. The dungeon master is sweating his ass off. Check the ac and the outside unit isn’t on. Next day I check the capacitor and other things and determined with the DM (he and his dad do hvac work) that ancient Trane (at least 40 years old) is fucking fucked, mate. Going to have to cough up (or put on credit card) thousands to replace my old shit.

So I said you know what fuck it. I don’t have to be back at the waterpark until Wednesday.. I’ll just go to Salty Shores where the AC works and the scenery is better a few days.

When I arrive at my trailer I open the door to an awful sea stench. The refrigerator had failed and squid bait had thawed and leaked 😶‍🌫️ but hey I got AC!

Cleaned the freezer out and tomorrow if I can’t get it to work I’ll just say fuggit and buy ice for the cooler. I’ll probably end up having to remove and replace this RV fridge. If that ends up being the case I’ll probably just get a small portable fridge rather than an expensive large RV fridge.

The clam chowder I made yesterday with those was fucking amazing.

Having leftovers later this afternoon before frying up a couple pounds of fresh shrimp.

I shall return to the coast in 3-4 weeks.

Salty Shores this week. I was here again late June but skipped July for numerous reasons.

Recent hurricane only left a very small puddle of water on the shower curtain I leave over my bed because it sits right under a skylight. Lucked out there. Got ants though.. gonna remedy that tomorrow.

Today I didn’t do much aside from hang out with my older half-sister and her son and his girlfriend a few hours on the porch (they live fairly close to here) and take Lyndsay out to eat fried seafood at Bogue House. That meal and leftovers was basically all we ate all day but was plenty. Tried to eat blast early, but ants got in my little cereal boxes.

Already super tired at 11:30 but I have been up since 8 am. Tomorrow morning will be kayak in the sound then drive over the bridge and jump in the ocean yet again!

Wavepool party at the park was delayed last week. Cancelled today at the last minute. Picked a good time to be here instead!

Back at Salty Shores. Left at 10:30 PM and got here at 2:30 AM. All is OK here! Don’t have to be back at the waterpark until Thursday, though I plan on doing AWS contact work some.

Surf forecast so far is absolutely shit. May change though between now and then to at least get some sloppies in. Some work to be done on my shed. Should have lots of time for fishing both from the shore and my kayak the next couple of days.

Got a list made for grilling stuff and groceries tomorrow as well as other little errands.
