Now... where is that leftover pie?
According to the bathroom scale, most of it is around my waist.
That would explain it...

With so many of you solving this, I must be missing something very obvious and overthinking.
I'll take another look at the puzzle before I need to do other more important things. :-)

Never mind....figured it out, at least I think so. Was definitely overthinking this. Should have seen this one a lot faster.
I am 99.99% sure I'm ashore. :D

Considering my one-in-fifty chance with a W.A.G., I decided to lob a Hail Mary.

Still counting myself as With Isaac, even if I get lucky.

Any one on shore I can bounce my thoughts off hanging around? Feel like I might be on the precipice
If you see me on the beach, feel free to pm for a nudge. After all the help I’ve got, I am happy to send it forward when I can!

Good evening muggles

Halftime at the snowglobe game in Buffalo.

We have 3 on the ship and an even 200 on the shore.

Good luck winning the mug.

Make that four on board.
Family, food and footy,
Left no time to solve.

(But great weekend - hope y’all had the same)
One world. One planet. One future.

Decided to take one last look and finally saw what I was supposed to see! *facepalm*

Count me ashore!

Got to this late. Busy with food and family for Thanksgiving. Then ran a Festivus 5k yesterday after airing grievances. Placed high enough in the race to win a prize: a donation has been made in my name to the human fund. "Money for People." So if I don't win the mug, I'll always have that.

And finally made it to shore, after trying all sorts of dead ends. No grievances to air about this puzzle, since it's very well constructed. A scotch ale for me.

On shore! A late solve, but whereas I finished the grid Thursday, I didn’t have a chance to circle back to the Meta until a little while ago…

The answer is a 100%, IMO…but the clue(s) to get there were a bit on the sparse side, unless I’m missing something.

(Okay, who are we kidding—I am almost *always* “missing something.”) :D
