Count me with Isaac and not a marine leporine in sight.

Ashore & submitted. Very nice puzzle.
Had my celebratory brews, yesterday, after my first round of golf, this year: Two Yuengling lagers at the course with friends & a Nut Brown Ale at the local brewery with my son.
Best wishes to all muggles!

I lost track of time, a symptom of being too long in PandemicLand, and was happy to realize it was Friday and there would be a WSJ puzzle. First idea was on the right track, but it just didnโt pan out. But trying to make idea #1 work made me notice something else, and that was the charm. So it is solved. Now, like the other addicts here, I am looking forward with anticipation and dread to a week 5 mgwcc.

I'm with Isaac and a rabbit at the bar, for now. Back to the 8-5 job. Hope to crack the code after work.

Sitting with Isaac for the first time in a while. May have to lay this aside to noodle on MGWCC for a while. I'm 0-fer this week as I haven't a clue on PGWCC, either. Weather is going to be nice this weekend, so I need to get these solved before being tempted outdoors.

on the boat, socially distancing from Isaac who's become very adept at sliding mugs and glasses down the bar ...

At some point in life, I will be stealing this without remorse, but a good thought for Al & all muggles.

Good Friday afternoon muggles.
We have a good contingent of 48 on the shore with 6 keeping Isaac company. A respite from last week

Still hanging out with Isaac, but it's OK because I haven't spent time with him in a while. I will also try again later with fresher eyes. Oh, and thanks for the 17-Across, Mike!

Good news: it's only Friday lunch hour.
Bad news: Like Sergeant Schultz, "I see NUTHing!"
I have a feeling that this weekend I'll swim with the sharks.

For nudges, feel free to PM me. I won't have a clue how to help you, but you might shove me ashore.

[Was hoping to use that on DrTom when he flew into one of his fantastic, raving, ranting, rabbit-holes-a-million tirades on why he wasn't going to be able to solve this week. ]

Hung out with Isaac all last night. Haven't looked at it today, but will give it more scrutiny when my workday ends. For now, feeling a bit frustrated and covered in dirt from all those rabbit holes.

A late start on the puzzle, a false start on the grid, and a minor misstep on the meta, but safely ashore.
Whenever you find yourself on the side of the majority, it is time to pause and reflect.

Good one - ashore and understanding the temptation to drop an affirming hint...
