Grid took a while, still not 100% on mechanism but willing to declare myself on the beach.

Emergency conference call shipped me to Page 2 :x

On the beach a little late. The cabana boy is trying out a new guacamole recipe. A margarita, tortilla chips, guacamole and the sunset. Perfect!!

Ashore. As soon as I saw [REDACTED] I was sure I knew what the metanism would be, and I was right!

Have the answer, but not sure how mechanism works - a first for me I think.

On the beach! I snookered myself there for a while.
Good luck, fellow Muggles!

We had the card playing version of that picture. My oldest daughter, for a media class she was taking in high school, photoshopped all of our old dogs' heads into the picture, along with my head, and gave it to me for my birthday. I don't know where that is, but I need to try and find it again.

Like many of you, on shore and 100% confident of my answer - but still working through how I got there.

Me and the fam all came down with COVID this week, which makes tasting or smelling anything nearly impossible. And for that reason, I'll drink whatever is cheapest and puts me back to sleep fast!

Yeah. SOME of us have a recurring meeting every Thursday at 4pm...lol. Today I cheated and turned my camera off at around 430 so they wouldn't know I was working on the puzzle. :-D
