Just talked to my buddy, has to head home his wife’s got some car issues. Someone scored a “ten”, got shacked and spat out!! Whoo- Hoo! Said all he heard were shutters going off on the beach and that was ten minutes ago. Well you can’t ask for more than these swells eh?
All the best to everyone, but especially to Joe Fish (Rickabaugh)!!!!
