Nice puzzle, Peter!

I thought of the general mechanism while completing the grid but couldn't get it to work. I then went down a rabbit hole tonight which somehow got me to notice that my original idea was the right one.

What a fun puzzle Peter. Took me FOREVER to see what I needed to and then forever again to see what I needed to, but finally it all came together.

Thankfully it did not kill me.

Tough grid but nicely tied up.

NUDGES!I am always willing to give nudges IF ASKED; metas should be about fun, not frustration. PM me what you have done so far, because often you are closer than you think, and I will try to help you move along.

Nudged off the couch (was halfway there, but needed the nudge to see the full picture). Thanks for the puzzle!

This was so fun! Did not need the nudges. Regret being so late getting to it… it would have made a nice diversion from all the unpacking… but my sister was here helping me and cracking the whip to keep me on (kitchen organization) task, God love her. Great fun and a rewarding aHA!
