On the shore! I really like these types of mechanisms.

You'll need that second one. You completely missed Thursday! :lol:

Edit:

Update -- on shore after realizing that it was Thursday. (and some early palpitations fearing Dubliners -- or worse, Ulysses -- clues)

Must mean it's sushi night. A little sake later.
Been a long week already!!

Got it with a mindset from watching The Blues Brothers and some consultation with my solving buddy

Ashore! Late start just back after a long week in Wichita for aircraft customer support…

On the beach.
First time I can remember in many years, except for holidays and vacations, I wasn't able to be sitting at my computer at 4 on a Thursday.
Certainly took all the "page 1 pressure" away. :roll:
Quick and efficient solve.
Have a great weekend everyone!

I'm mad at MG. He handed us the answer. Why o why?
I prefer a challenge. Being on page 7 at 9 pm on Thursday should say a lot about the puzzle's KAS level.

Okay…early solve for me this week. But I feel like Dorothy after she lands in Oz and everything is in color. All these fancy doo dahs in the quick reply box!

On shore. Knew the meta answer but was having a hard time figuring out one bit, so I asked my husband and he got it right away.
If you want help with a meta, feel free to PM me. The more specific you are about what you have and what you want, the more likely I can help without spoiling.

(And if I help you win a mug, I’ll be especially delighted.)
