Lounging on shore, sipping a cold beer.

But not a Corona.

I’m ashore.

Time to crank up a British Invasion playlist. And maybe some Beach Boys.

Why isn't it a Spinal Tap song if "they go to 11?"

I am sure I see step one, and I already know what song it has to be, but I think there should be a step or two I'm missing.

Frustrating. I might just go ahead and submit, but it bugs me that I think I'm missing something. Or maybe what I think is step one is a rabbit hole. If so, it's a very, very tempting rabbit hole!

On shore in under ten minutes - will the tiki bar end up under quarantine?

Done and done. Dare I say, 111% sure :)

So many comments I want to make, but might be spoilers.
If I'm around, I am willing to join the Muggle Zoom room at other times to lend a hand to those in need.

Swam up to a beach. Not sure if it's the right one. I'll wait for rescue...

Ashore with a smile on my face. Truly a lovely meta that made me laugh and sing.

Note from the wife: though we are positive with the answer, we are still struggling with the "hard core proof" theory. Both of us are singing it now 🍻🤓

OK, I just submitted what I'm sure has to be the answer. All these "easy" comments are telling me that I must have it and (as I did a few weeks ago) am second-guessing myself because I assumed there had to be more.

Was also hoping for a Spinal Tap song or album - maybe Listen to the Flower People or Stonehenge. Oh well. I have the first step (maybe the only step?) so count me on shore...

On shore with it now incessantly running through my head. Worth the 30 minutes + checkout line at Meijer tonight to enjoy my Shiner Bock. Stay safe everyone.
