"Keep on Truckin'" October 14, 2022

Keep on Truckin’
By Mike Shenk

The answer to this week's contest crossword is something you might call a trucker.

I am opening the thread this week because Bob has been "voluntold" to attend an open house at his grandkid's high school. However, Bob assures me he will be at his Muggle Forum Central post all weekend long to track the ship/shore denizens (many of us who will have an earworm, I suspect from the puzzle title!).
EDIT: At the truck stop at 9 p.m. Thursday. Coffee and a short stack, please!

Ashore! One of those that once you see it you find it hard to believe it took so long.

On shore! Nice one! Instead of a Guinness, I think I'll try a negroni sbagliato with prosecco in it to find out what the fuss is all about.

A new streak begun - a positive one for a change! On shore and humming some Hot Tuna.

Yay! Page 1! The cabana boy is enjoying the cool breezes. He keeps asking me what my costume is going to be for Halloween. He's going as a sexy cabana boy. Another margarita, please!

Ashore! Honk Honk

My first idea wasn't quite right, but at least I was able to get out of that hole quickly enough.

Ashore! Barely made page one. Had the right idea, wrong kind of implementation at first.
