Count me with Isaac as he chilling the martini glasses.

Many rabbits chased but still can't find the direct route to what I think is the answer.

Will send up the Hail Mary Sunday if no inspiration comes. Then off to the Bronx on Monday for dinner with 45,000 of my closest friends. Well, one close friend and a lot of acquaintances.

I mentioned putting a roof over my grill deck last week. Here's the finished product:

And the view from the grill:

Sorry for the large pic sizes. Despite a very expensive engineering degree, I couldn't figure out how to make them smaller.

After a couple of twists and turns, I have made it to the beach. Una paloma, por favor!

A very enjoyable Zoom today! Thanks everybody and have a great weekend!

We are always happy to get to know other muggles and help in any way! PM's are always welcome. The next best thing to winning a mug is helping a fellow muggle win a mug!

Ashore after a nudge (or three) from the Zoom crew. I'm learning that I need to look for more specific patterns than just general similarities.

Time for a refreshing beverage.

Enjoy!

Couldn't get to this yesterday, but a speedy solve today nonetheless. Plus, I think I can use a couple rabbit holes for my own constructions!
