Good luck!
Thanks! I had a great ride today and finished strong!

For those still on the ship, ask Isaac for a Jessica Rabbit drink! It sharpens your eyesight for finding rabbit holes.

Ashore on a fine sunny Sunday morning (prime rib on the counter coming to room temp as prep for the oven, Isaac gave me a recommendation for a fine pinot as I left the ship!)

Forgot to post on Friday. Done and done.
If I'm around, I am willing to join the Muggle Zoom room at other times to lend a hand to those in need.

I assume that if you click the exclamation mark icon to "report" the post, it goes to the moderator (Brian), who can delete it, perhaps with a note to the person who posted it.
btw, whoever posted the BODY comment obviously didn't know about the rules of the comments, but just as obviously didn't how metas work.

How hilly was the course? Century's are always tough but a hilly one is brutal

Made it to the beach with a little teamwork: My grown son got tired of me complaining that I couldn't see it. (Thanks, Jim!)
Hopefully the beginning of another two-week streak which is my record so far for 2019.
Good luck to everyone on winning the mug!

First time posting on the meta thread! I’m with Isaac enjoying a cinco de mayo margarita. Meanwhile, my table is littered with papers because this week is driving me nuts. Oh well.

And Hi!

Welcome to the land of the muggles. I gather that you have been watching our antics for a while. If you go to the Come Aboard link you will see one thread for hints to solve these things and an introduce yourself thread

Good luck

Add me to those drinking on shore. Margarita please.

Finished the puzzle fairly quickly, but have been busy entertaining guests for the Kentucky Derby and haven't had a chance to post.
