I won't be able to work the puzzle until later this evening - so you'll all have to do w/o my moaning about not getting the meta fo a few hours!

Compared to some of the grids I've struggled through this week, this one was a snap. Thank you, Matt.

Grid: easy. Meta? 80% ashore? I hope? Maybe?
Got a favorite answer, but I'd need to beat to fit & paint to match, at this point. I can see myself staring at this a long time.
Good luck, muggles!

I'm on a shore, but I want to think about this one a little more before I submit. I'd agree with the 80%.
Edit: Never mind - I'm 100% sure I see the tiki bar! I'll take that Guinness now.

I knew what the answer was but It took a while to get the last bit. I wonder if we were all stuck on the same part.

On shore! That was a great puzzle.
The last one made me laugh out loud. Was close early but derailed myself a bit. Film at 11 (or Monday).
Enjoy the weekend, Muggles!

Yeah - I was able to actually do the grid on my phone on a call - very easy. Unfortunately, it wasn't one of those grids where the methodology to solve the meta became apparent as I did the grid.

Elegant mechanism cleverly executed, and a fun solve. I'll take an adult beverage.

Done and done. Found too many things at first. Then chased stray rabbits for a bit. Finally went back and chased the rabbit down the first two turns and got stuck until I realized what I was first doing was correct, and was able to pare down and sort my overfilled list.
If I'm around, I am willing to join the Muggle Zoom room at other times to lend a hand to those in need.

As promised...I'm here to moan about not getting the meta! 90 minutes in - Not the faintest clue. Had an idea got nowhere, thought I saw something - it was nothing.
This is the first time in a long time I don't even have even the slightest idea what the methodology might be. I hope Issac is lonely because its going to be another long weekend!

Less solvers than usual after 5 hours I think? Iโm having a very tough time making any headway so maybe Iโm not alone.
