Didn’t really have a chance to look at this before my distant solving partner twirled my head in the right direction. Did someone say snap peas‽

Been awhile since Isaac and I were separated for two consecutive weeks.

Don’t worry, Isaac; it’s a separation, not a divorce.

The interrobang is criminally underused. Just saying.

Thanks to a "DOH" moment on the Zoom Party, I am ashore and ashamed I didn't see this sooner... oh well, pour me something bitter and sour for my troubles!

I got an answer really quickly that matches the clue (it has to be it), but then upon add'l review there was one grid answer that popped up that threw my original meta answer off. It looks from all the muggles that I am the only one who encountered that. Will let the beer get colder in the fridge until further review.

update: I am thirsty so I will go with my original answer. I see something else in the grid in terms of what to do with my original issue (and if it was planted on purpose, bravo MS). Count me ashore Commish.

Great time on the Friday Zoom!! Sorry for the technical audio clitch, but thanks to our very knowledgeable group, it was yeah, there isly solved (no need to redact that one @Joe Ross ). It was an "AUDIOCORRECTION".

Have a great weekend everyone!!

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!

My post here, while I was distracted,
Was unceremoniously redacted.
One “bad” word was “fixed,”
Seven others deep-sixed,
And the one little joke was subtracted

On shore. It was right where I expected it to be when I started swimming.

Got to work on this relatively early this week. ("Relatively" in this case because my daughter could work on it a little earlier than usual.)

Drink of choice: Anything, once I finish the two hour drive ahead of me to the mountains. And the more rain there is, the stronger I want the drink to be.

Eight in a row! The puzzles must be getting easier because I know I'm not getting any smarter.

On a shore. Not fully committed yet. The mechanism I applied yielded an answer that fits. Since it's 5 o'clock somewhere (actually 5:15 here), I'll start with a cabernet. Then we'll see what comes next.
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.
