I've reached a step but I am pretty stuck. I tried to listen on the zoom call but I had to leave quickly to handle today's domestic disaster (Paw Patrol slipper has a hole in it). While that crisis has been averted, I am no closer to moving on to the next step. I'll keep working on it, but I would appreciate a mild nudge if anyone is willing

Happy Veterans Day to all you who have served out great country. Thank you for your service!
If I’ve solved and you need a nudge, you can PM me. Happy to pay it forward.

Grid done. That’s all so far.
Looks like I’m settling in for a weekend with Isaac. So I’ll stick with faux tinis.
Thank you to those who have served and those who wait for their return.

One of my silly superstitions is that the universe sends me messages through license plates. This car parked next to me yesterday. I think this might mean that I should sit this one out.

This puzzle was a lot of fun thanks to the amazing zoomers. The rabbit holes are extraordinary. I'm on the beach but still chuckling about those rabbit holes.

I cannot submit because I got a big nudge, but OMG what a puzzle! I think I would have to say that was one the all time greats. To even think of how he did that makes my mind hurt. Patrick Berry has the mind of a Bond criminal cause what other genre of person comes up with something like that. So elegant, and so deceptively straightforward but hidden masterfully. If he ever decides to start hanging out with Felonious Gru the moon is TOAST!
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!

Made it to shore under my own power, finally.
The word for this puzzle is DIABOLICAL.

Remember how sometimes the class would get all excited because the teacher was absent, and then everyone realized the substitute was that one person who was even more strict than the regular teacher was? Just me then, okay. Anyhoo, still on the ship. The bar is dismissed when Mr. Berry says it’s dismissed.

Finally made it to shore after a few kind Muggles made me realize I was missing a couple of important pieces. (a big thanks to them!)

Good Saturday morning muggles
First welcome our newest muggle @DJWell528
If you missed the zoom last night and want a nudge before the Last Call zoom tomorrow at 8 pm ET, the best approach is to send a private message to anyone that has solved telling them what you have done and where you need help.
The challenge for solving this Patrick Berry special continues with 20 on the ship and 87 on the shore.

I'm also drinking with Isaac today. I will bring the puzzle with me to the brewery to see if that spurs any insights, but I have a feeling I will be grasping for a lifeline on Sunday.

Hello from Dubai! I’m LAS! Coming up with quite a few of rabbits but none are matching! Oh well! I’ll keep at here and there but I’m afraid I won’t see my way to the beach this week! (Here’s a photo of me in Abu Dhabi today! The buildings over my right shoulder were used in the film Fast and Furious 7))

Ugh! Got the obvious but too many of them so not so obvious? I feel like I’m going to be annoyed Monday morning. One maybe I could have gotten but instead spent the weekend on the boat. Yo Isaac what’s up? Haha Is Isaac a clue?

Nope. Completely lost at sea and about to fall off the barstool.
