Arrived on shore. But since the beach is looking to be quite crowded again, I'm going to 12D (a car, that is) and soon head up to the mountains this weekend.

ASHORE!!!! First time!! Thanks for the slight nudge @Doc and @boharr. I won't be submitting this week since I needed the help, but my confidence is up and I'm ready for next week (so long as it's as easy as this one :-) )! It sure is nice on the beach here, just happy to be with the crowd.

On shore, tho I needed some help from Boharr cuz I had one error that threw the rest out of whack.

My doves fledged on Tuesday, I cleaned out the nest box and mom is already back for the next round. Nature!

Finally got my answer to submit after a couple of tries. The fix was explained a few pages back so I won't repeat it here. Good luck all.

This is the sign that still reminds me of a past meta.
Coincidentally, puzzle was a year ago this week.

Been awhile since I've been at Isaac's, so I'm glad to see my corner seat is still available. This one is not jumping out at me as quickly as last week's, alas. I am down what I thought was a very promising rabbit hole, but it's not revealing itself yet. Hopefully a fresh mind and a fresh drink will help!

Created this just to say I'm ashore.

I'm also drinking desk whiskey, the best whiskey.

Marion and I are on shore again - for the second week, I rowed and she rode............but who's counting! I spent many weeks with my ass in the aft so a couple up front feels good.

Luck to all........

Oh I remember that one, it was a hard one that I actually saw thé mechanism for when others didn’t (which is distinctly odd). It just shows that , as the adage says, even a blind pig can find a truffle sometimes.
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!

Ashore. Not too easy. Not too hard. Nicely playful.

Still on the boat, getting better at the crossword itself but the meta still eludes me. Went down a rabbit hole but I think its wrong, definitely gonna need a nudge.
Usually found struggling with the meta late Saturday and Sunday night.
