Count me ashore. Agree with others about uncertainty however this has to be it.

Stay well all

At the bar. Went down a few rabbit holes with nothing to show for them.

We would appreciate a nudge.

Nudge received - Never would have gotten to that on our own. Wow. Thanks!

What time does the puzzle for Monday come out tonight?
I am eager to put myself out of my misery due to excessive rabbit hole exploration with no meta answer.
Isaac has lots of good stories to tell so it's not so bad.

I’m on shore - agree with all the posts that the answer isn’t quite 100%

I'm on shore with what I hope to be the correct answer! I prefer more certainty.

Midnight Sunday in New York (9 p.m. for us in California). I'll have to look up what time zone Zion is in.

My confidence level has now dropped from 95% down to about 30 as a result of a message exchange with Big Mac. In anticipation of his answer being the accepted one I've composed a limerick, to be posted tomorrow, in defense of my solution!

Aye, still asea. Deep in the hold, too. Weekend work on this n' that.
One of these is the old joist and one is the new. I think.

Was working on the boat this weekend, so haven't spent a lot of time on this one. I think I've got it though. Anyone want to compare notes via PM?

Edit: Well, I was quite pleased with my original answer, but then a couple of Muggles told me there was a better answer. Upon further reflection, I think they're right.

So, ashore! (I think...)

On shore with an answer, but short on confidence.

Muggle here. Been lurking for a few weeks.

I've been getting the grid filled pretty quickly since I discovered these puzzles last month, but only have a 50-50 hit rate with the metas. Hope to get better at them.

I'm on shore as part of the "90% crew" this week. And been keeping busy with ACPT!

Our flatware set came with these three sizes of forks. NOW I know what the little bitty one is for.
The one on the left isn't a fork, it's a THREEK

Count me ashore... enjoyed this one a lot!

Very distracted by the ACPT this weekend... I'm going to use that as my excuse for not figuring out the Week 4 MGWCC!

Got dragged across a fuzzy finish line. On my own, I would have drowned on the way to shore, so hitting practice balls off the back deck between sips.

On the boat and probably staying there. How many rabbit holes must a man walk down?

Speaking of....the wife and I got to see 17A at Red Rocks Amphitheatre (Morrison, CO)...'07 I think. It was a real treat!

Ashore, although I agree with those who are only 95%. I can see two answers but have decided which one I am submitting. To me, this may be one of those weeks in which a second answer could be defended.
