Ashore. Enjoying a Karbach "Yule Shoot Your Eye Out" left over from Christmas. Maybe I'll win "...a Major Award!"

Got home about 30 minutes ago and was noodling around in another area of the forums when I realized "Hey, it's Thursday!"

I'm ashore. Thank you, Patrick Berry! Much more straightforward than the M&Ms.
I don't have anything clever to say, but if I did, it would go here.

Is this waterlogged lung condition the inspiration for your name?

On the very crowded shore.

Congrats to Mr. Sisti.

On shore. Got a late start due to being out of town visiting family but solved quickly and, fortunately, without needing to print because I don't have access to a printer here. The beach is already awfully crowded for a Thursday!
