On shore and headed for the cooler. I usually stick with Yuengling - never mix, never worry - but the mere mention of a Rolling Rock pony wets my whistle. Cheers!

Count me ashore. I’m sure what I have is right though I don’t see where others have said it clicks.

Grid finished, and I've seen something interesting, but don't know what to do next. I'm hoping there's a logical mechanism, and not mere guesswork here.

On shore! Took me a little longer than it sounds like it did for others.

Fun to read of the drinking preferences here. For once I'll top you all. Valentine's Day dinner needed to be the day before this year. Delightful little place in Ann Arbor called Logan. Champagne toast, followed by the cocktails Alpini (with rye, scotch, and other stuff, to accompany a gnocchi puttanesca) and a Sazerac (to accompany a wild board bolognese), then a glass of Riesling (to play off the spicy Thai scallops) and a Spanish white (for a Mexican-tinged shrimp and grits), finally a little chocolate and raspberry tart-like thing -- all for less than $200 with tip. Half-plate sizes helped.
There are advantages to living in the frozen north. Cost of living (and drinking!) is low.
Oh, yes, and I got the puzzle just before leaving the house, so I didn't need to obsess on it over dinner.
Treat your sweetest well tomorrow!

Grid solved, still in my usual spot on the boat.... 1D + 27D.... intentional? Another Miller Lite please, Isaac.

Wow, Chris, that sounds fancy! But in true Heck style, we will be spending less than that for our Yuengling/Miller Lite and chicken tenders/quesadilla.

Tomorrow I’ll be making filet mignon with roasted potatoes and homegrown sugar snap peas. And a salad with Bibb lettuce, pears and Gorgonzola. So there! Glad you had a great dinner!ChrisKochmanski wrote: ↑Thu Feb 13, 2020 9:01 pm Fun to read of the drinking preferences here. For once I'll top you all.

Well I think I can see the mechanism and I also think I can get the letters. However, that is where this little train stops because I cannot seem to make anything intelligible out of them. Gonna be a long week-end I can tell, or I think I can.

NUDGES!I am always willing to give nudges where needed; metas should be about fun, not frustration. Send me what you have done so far because often you are closer than you think!

Exactly! I'm sure I'm ashore, but I can't quite explain how I got there. It's like those movies where the ship goes down and our hero wakes up on the beach...

I'm curious how many folks on this chat have won the mug, and how many years of playing it took?

LAS. Feeling like the dog that caught the car - I see what must be the mechanism but not what to do with it. ...What category are the Wonder Twins?

I'm in the exact same boat (so to speak) as you. Working hard for that as of yet "aha" moment. Frustrating to be so close!DrTom wrote: ↑Fri Feb 14, 2020 2:06 am Well I think I can see the mechanism and I also think I can get the letters.
