After a few false leads, I finally saw it. Nice puzzle.

On shore! To the previous poster who said "Doh!" I say "Double Doh!" because I stared for what seems like way too long before seeing it.

Got it.
I didn't find this one as easy as some others did. Step one was quite obvious to me early on in solving the grid. But from there, it took me a bit to get the right pathway and I did have to google a tiny bit (learned 2 new bits of info with this puzzle).

Early morning tornado warning got me out of bed ahead of time, so I knocked out the grid. Still scratching my head about the meta.

Done with the grid, have some ideas, but the pollen is really making me stupid. I'll sit here with Isaac until Claritin kicks in and inspiration hits.

Eureka!!!

On the beach. 🏖 🍷

This one was just right for me. Hard enough to keep my brain churning overnight, but not chew up my entire weekend. Loved it! Kas 2.5 I think.

It took me a while to see what some people saw even before they’d finished the grid. It took me a couple of logic steps to get to what others saw all at once. As is often the case, the title wasn’t a help till after I’d gotten the answer. Oh well, as Donna Summers said before her annual check-up, “Let’s Get a Physical.”

Several rabbit holes have yielded nothing. And there are way too many four-letter nouns to guess.
Count me LAS for now. And since it's before noon, Isaac will have to start me off with a Bloody Mary.

On shore. I actually had a reasonable, but not 100%, false rabbit-hole answer before I spotted the real one.

Nope, I just don't see it. Count me at sea for now... this is the most time I've spent with Isaac in several weeks! (BTW, I love the picture at the top of the forum page, makes me smile.)

On the shore. This was a Goldilocks puzzle for me - not too easy, not too hard; just right. :) Happy Passover and Easter to those who celebrate.

I think I've got it ... although that rabbit hole may have been vacated in advance of the bunny's other relevant duties.
