"Piece Process" May 10, 2024

[ZooAnimalsOnWheels]

On shore. I'll go against the tide here, the grid was not a problem but it took me a long time to see the meta.

[EVJ]

I might need to go to the nearest kinkos (do they still exist?) to print the puzzle.

If they don’t, Staples, UPS Stores, and public libraries can usually do it.

Who me? Frantically looking for a place to get a puzzle printed on vacation? Never! Well, maybe occasionally

The little library in the mountain town we often visit charges .25 cents plus tax. It’s the cutest thing.

@BarbaraK and @EVJ - I take a few of these with me on my trips. I get the clues on line and do the grid on paper.

I have a stack of those at our mountain cabin. Maybe when I go to kinko’s I’ll have them print me some to keep at mom’s house. Great suggestion. I’ve done the whole thing by hand before. Might do it again.

Solved from Germany - beers help with jet lag, right? That's my operating theory anyway.

On shore after two days of puzzlement. Having a little trouble falling asleep after attending a symphony concert where Berlioz's "Symphonie Fantastique" was performed, I tried figuring out the meta in my head. It worked. I got the meta and then fell asleep immediately.

On the beach after finally getting a chance to start on it

Ashore. Grid took longer than meta. Drink? G&T!

Good Sunday morning muggles

Happy Mother's Day to all the mothers in muggleland. Hopefully you have a quiet and relaxing day.

Slow and steady progress to the shore as we have 5 on the ship and 178 on the shore.

Ashore.

[Jarrod]

Ashore! The grid was challenging - had to sleep on the meta, but solved it soon after looking a new. Happy Mother's Day!

[Dickie_Dunn]

Supposedly the meta ever conceived , I must have become unable to see a solution such as this one. All that to say, Isaac and I are becoming better friends.

[Flying_Burrito]

Late start but ashore. 3 graduations in 3 days: need to get on the wagon and definitely no 33A. Lacroix please

[caf.caf]

Ashore!
And the lake beckons for an afternoon canoe…

[Penny_Keatley]

Man, still struggling with this one. Hopefully the “pieces” will fall into place before this day is over.

[LadyBird]

I guess my T-shirt motto could apply not just to hummingbirds but also to my time with Isaac and the cabana boy.

[haydendog]

Made it to shore after wondering if this one would ever come to me! Suddenly there it was.

[C=64]

The grid was something of a slog, and I am at sea for the second week in a row.

[Aragorn]

Nudged ashore with a little help from @SamKat9 . Got the first step but couldn’t see the second. Very fun aha moment when it all clicks together.

[avian]

Fell overboard and @michaelm threw me a life preserver.
Disappointed with myself but I doubt I would have ever seen that without the nudge.

[aaugusti]

Happy to be ashore on Mother’s Day! Pour me a glass of Pinot noir.
