REMINDER: Our weekly Friday 4:30 Eastern Time ZOOM will be held as usual. All are welcome! Whether or not you have already solved and just would like to meet other muggles, we look forward to seeing you!
Don & Cynthia

We are always happy to get to know other muggles and help in any way! PM's are always welcome. The next best thing to winning a mug is helping a fellow muggle win a mug!

Good Friday morning muggles

An interesting challenge from Mr. Gaffney

So far we have 4 on the ship and 113 on the shore.

Nice to see everyone clear out so there's a stool for me w Isaac. And I can make connections with Ray, MatthewL and KatieD since I can't do the same with the grid!

Late start but Count me on the ship with Isaac! I think I must be overthinking this one…. 😫

UPDATE: just 10 minutes later and I saw something that made the connection! Woohoo! Count me

Ashore. Very fun, but only obvious in retrospect. Not a "gimme" for sure.

Ashore. Trying to solve a meta while watching the Celtics is not a good strategy, even when the game is one that does not require full attention.
Put something cold in the ice chest for me -- I'll need it come Saturday's weather. Or if someone would care to share the answer . . . .

Struggled with the grid.
Stuck deep in a rabbit hole.
More coffee, Isaac!

Made the connection after a struggle. Now awaiting a record heat wave in Delaware.

I'm with y'all as well. As Yoda would say,

Later, again, try will I.
Good luck to all for a successful solve. If you see that I'm ashore - rare occasion of late - message me if you'd like a nudge. Be sure to include your progress so I can know better how to assist.

Alan A. and Maggie Muggle

Isaac handed me binoculars, and from what I can see of you all partying on the beach, ain't ONE of you got a completed MEOW in your hand. Keep the ruckus down! :lol:

Those rabbits, I swear...
Who gave them a backhoe, y'all?!
Time for dynamite.

I, too, am warming a barstool at Isaac's. I feel as if I am 95% of the way there yet cannot get it over the line. Which then leads me to believe I am stuck in a rabbit hole of sizable proportions, What gets me is that, if this is, indeed the wrong path, I have never seen such huge coincidences. Sigh. Back to it. Or maybe read a while instead
