I'm busy with work and haven't started writing on the grid, but I'm pretty sure I'm on shore with the help of your post and solving some of the grid in my head.

To all a good weekend, and a good weekend to all.
Once again, I think I'm overthinking it. Note to self: Stop doing this. You don't always need Evel Knievel's motorcycle to get over the initial hurdle. Putting it down for now for my usual Thursday agenda: Pre-trivia Guinnesses --> Trivia --> Post-trivia Guinnesses. Save me a spot on the beach, pals!!

Solved. And watching a beautiful N.C. Piedmont snowfall. Something we don’t see all that often.

And not often we see you in the grid 🙂

Fun puzzle, and the answer is a game I’ve spent more time playing than I care to admit.

On shore! I was going to complain about the number of movie/TV clues, but I love the meta so much I'm going to let that slide!
