On the beach - maybe?

Not 100% sure it’s the right beach.

Ashore. Enjoying the holiday weekend beach crowd; decks cleared for the MGWCC Week 4.

Late to the party, but safely ashore.
Happy to give nudges. If you notice I've solved, please tell me about avenues you've explored so I can nudge you in the right direction and not off a cliff.

On the beach! 🏖

Optimistically started out with Samuel Adams Beach Session IPA 🍺

But it took awhile anyway! Enjoyed it!

Well, I found a lovely little mechanism--which leads nowhere! So I am still on the ship.

Everyone is posting billiards pictures--I thought for sure that the dirty pool had something to do with the renal system :lol:

On shore! I filled out the grid earlier, but didn't get the meta right away and then had to deal with other distractions. Like others, I'm almost completely sure of the answer but not convinced that I grasped the whole metanism. Good enough though, with a week 4 MGWCC tomorrow!

Several holes, nothing in them.

On the bottom.

Quick counterattack from Richmond. The keeper is out of position. A booming shot from mid-field by the Greyhounds ...

On shore with certainty. And great admiration for Mike’s ingenuity yet again.

No dirt left behind here when the guys finish cleaning the pond every spring

I'm glad I didn't think of that! I can understand why you are having difficulty with the mechanism..... :)

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!

Alas, I do not see the mechanism right away. However, I do see something that must be important. Still on the boat, Bob.
