"Make It An Even Dozen" May 3, 2024

[Wendy Walker]

Per @Joe Ross 's request, here I am helping my friends Bob and Trish feed three orphaned Angus calves. They get two bottles of formula twice a day. The mother of one rejected her; the mother of another died while calving; and the third, the only steer, wasn't claimed by any of the other cows in the herd.

Ashore!
I was about to give up, because (as usual) I have to be somewhere else this weekend. Something caught my eye as I was packing up and of course I had to chase down that rabbit. And it turned out not to be a rabbit - I think. Like a lot of others, I'm not 100% sure; unfortunately, I can't make the zoom call today, maybe Sunday.

Pretty confident I am on shore. Will check on today's Zoom -- in the meantime, enjoy a view from my hike today at Mohonk. Tried a new trail and it did not disappoint!

EDIT: Confirmed and correct - hurray!

[Zobo3737]

Good to be on land.

[metaatem]

Ashore! Thank you @SamKat9 and some small nudges from a couple other folks.

[HunterX]

On Naboo. Had my landing gear down early. Now cue up the "Imperial March" as I head over to the cantina.

While congrats are in order for making page one, I'm surprised you didn't wait until Saturday to post. Or maybe you'll post something special then?

"[Saturday's date] be with you!"

@Abide: "Golf is a particularly severe strain upon the amiability of the average person's temper, and in no other game, except bridge, is serenity of disposition so essential. No one easily ruffled can keep a clear eye on the ball ... In golf it is safe to say that he who loses his temper is pretty sure to lose the game."
From "Emily Post's Etiquette," 1929 edition (collecting old etiquette books is one of my odder hobbies)

As someone who caddied at Merion (East) Golf Club as a teen, I can attest to the truth of this. Also, my parents, both avid golfers, were people who didn't lose their tempers. (Dad especially. As a kid, I seemed to be able to get mom mad.) Mom had 7 holes-in-one. Dad, 2. Though dad had a lower handicap.

And mom was a good bridge player too!

Pretty sure we're on shore, but missing the click. Pretty much has to be what we've got, though.

[EVJ]

Ashore! Team solve with Acarl.

[Acarl]

Ashore! With a life vest from meta-buddy EVJ. Didn’t feel the click at first, but the more we looked at it the firmer the sand felt.

[Deb F]

Ashore. Would not have made it without wonderful assistance from ship4u (Don). Thanks a million.

Have a great weekend, Muggles.

[fourletterword]

Got it. Just before the Zoom!

[JaneGummy]

Mug arrived

On shore, found it quickly during zoom call, thanks zoomers

And my mug arrived

[Libbypibby]

Ashore - I hope

[dk letter]

Ashore! A fun and merciful Friday solve!

And a Week 1 over at MGWCC so my weekend is looking open!

[Brainbow]

I made it, thanks to the muggle zoom! Thanks folks!

[DaveG]

Thanks Zoomers! Lots of eyebrows as I mentioned the right current to find my way to the beach. I'll take a margarita in honor of Cinco De Mayo this weekend! Have a great weekend all!

[IHeartMusic]

Ashore!

[Eric Porter]

On shore thanks to the Zoom meeting.

This was another instance where I'd seen mechanism on my own... mostly... but didn't think I was actually on the right track and stopped.

[BrennerTJ]

Ashore. 🏝
