Ashore for quite a while and literally as well on LBI this weekend. I normally struggle with this type of mechanism but came pretty easily. Much more important is that my meta mentee aka daughter in law got it on her own. I think she’s hooked. They will be living with us this month so will show her as many of these as I can

Oh and MGWCC?? Yeah right. Not a clue.

Stay well all

Ashore on Friday night, but the cabana was having "server problems" and couldn't serve my drink. I swam back to the boat and Isaac took care of me. Back ashore with a thermos from Isaac.

horribly lost at sea. I thought I was back in it after my solve last week but I'm running out of time here.

Trip update: We crossed the equator this week and are now camping in the Andes in Ecuador. It’s beautiful!
Cool! And nice dedication to Muggledom to work on the meta while camping in Ecuador! I'm looking in the photo to find the cell tower or satellite dish that allows you to post from there....

As a guitarist, I'm also curious about the guitar's top piece decoration. Close up photo?
We are about a mile from a town so we’ve got 4G 👍

Husband’s guitar. All bumper stickers!

Cute! And I see he's a southpaw, playing a right-handed guitar strung for a left-hander.

On shore. The numbers in the parentheses made me shudder when I saw them, but that was the only red herring I saw.

I can't believe it: A Matt Gaffney meta that made me laugh as I entered the first "clue" and was on my way to solving it. My reaction? <it was the answer to an earlier meta>

On Naboo. Landing was delayed apparently due to technical malfunctions and some needed orbital boosters. :shock:

I spent Friday languishing. But then a miracle -- Mrs Shalmanezer, let's call her Banitu -- said, doesn't Savvy Goalie sound like RAVIOLI ... ? From there we were off to the races. Five minutes at most, and we were finished. This is Banitu's first ever participation in my weekly Meta shenanigans. I would put lots of Spoiler buttons around this, but I have no idea how; and Banitu is unaware of all things technology.

Held off on posting while having emergency meetings with the Great Council....

Discussion revolved around how many of them could be in the picture without us blowing up the server again...
As I understand it, as long as they DON’T play Wordle and post, we should be ok! 😂

You deserve a mug this week just for catching all those bats!
