Wow. Ashore and impressed with the construction. My brain is very thirsty! This torrential rain is calling out for a hot chocolate with a shot of "whatever ya got..."

It was not Blue in Buenos Aires, nor a Blue dye, nor even a Blue hue, but a whole lot of Blue language when I finally got this.

Two of the best, two weeks in a row. We're witnessing some top shelf creativity, muggles.
Unfortunately, I am dealing with bottom shelf brain power! :?

My luck with the bracket is no better than my luck with the meta. I am currently dead last (#42) in the family bracket. Although I did pick Oakland. A group text from my son...

Still asea, looking for a theme.

Wait, Oh wow! I may be onto something. Sir, are you a good bunny or a bad bunny? And don't give me this, "Oh, I'm not a bunny at all." nonsense.

Man, I hope this pans out. 8-)

UPDATE:

AHA! It worked out perfectly. I am ashore. I concur with what @Joe Ross posted earlier. We are witnessing brilliance at work with this and last week's puzzle.
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.

I gave up and asked for a nudge, now out of my misery. Hats off to all solo solvers-this was a KAS5 for me.

Stay well all

Ashore, between the first and second round.
Just found time to post.
Have a great weekend and hope UK and KU didn't destroy your bracket.

Sigh... forgot on Thursday, too busy on Friday, too tired when I remembered today. Finished the grid but I think I'll just sit here clueless with Isaac until someone hollers the answer from shore in a couple days... :lol:

On shore. Wow that is impressive, Mr. Gaffney. A large Gaffney Gulp of Woodford Reserve celebration following today’s pickleball tournament. Go hard or go home.

Double Wowsers to Matt for this stunning meta ❤️❤️
