Ashore.

Didn't find the metanism immediately. But wasn't searching empty rabbit holes all over the globe either. So the correct path revealed itself reasonably, but not too, quickly.

Ashore! Needed help with the grid and meta, but actual time spent on the meta was less than the grid. A nice cab to warm the soul on a chilly night!

Just got to the WSJ today--I was out all of yesterday. I would say Guinness me but from the way this day is going it would appear I have had multiple Guinnesses already.

Ashore and enjoying a refreshing lager. Clever mechanism and I'm not sure why I didn't attempt it the first time I noticed it. Ah well. Glad to have it done before the weekend.

Maybe today or tomorrow on Oktoberfest Zinzinnati. My first goto is Warsteiner Dunkel with a Limburger & onion sandwich. The sanch helps create space amongst the hundreds of thousands on 5th Street. 😆

I do add a Sam's & other local suds.

Bearcats tonight!
