Good luck with the grid and the meta

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

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.

On shore! Liked this one. I'd like to think I would have gotten it without (spoiler) but maybe not, my track record hasn't been that good lately :-)

RFLOL! That was a great meta! I am on the beach with my margarita looking forward to some baseball!

Still laughing about the meta, but spoke too soon about baseball. There’s always tomorrow.

At first I was like, ???? Then it all became clear. Thankful to get this after the embarrassment that was last week.
Happy to give nudges. If you notice I've solved, please tell me about avenues you've explored so I can nudge you in the right direction and not off a cliff.

Roh-roh. "Great meta" means I'm going to have great difficulty solving it.

Ahoy! Isaac!

On shore! So clever. I had an idea what was going on while doing the grid.
BTW I will miss next week's Zoom meeting. I have an actual in-person township meeting. Will stop in if I can though!
