Ok - I need a check. Because if I figured this out I'm gonna lose it. But I found an 11 word.

Wow - I'm amazed at how fast so many people are getting it. I must just be a moron!
You are not a moron, believe me. Some of us don’t see it for days.......

I'm on shore and submitted!
My second idea worked. It's a 100%er, which I hope we can all agree on this week.

Ashore. Time for a bourbon or margarita before taking on tomorrow’s puzzle.

You're not a moron. It often takes me hours, days sometimes infinity, to get it.
This week, I have no idea, which is typical for me.

I'm claiming my 6 foot spot on the beach. I expect it will not be quite as crowded this week though. Very clever and fun, but a bit tricky and different. We haven't seen anything at all like this in quite a while, which means our newer muggles may never have.

TPS, you are SO not a moron. The only reason I got the meta so quickly was that I noticed something while I was doing the grid that led directly to the correct strategy.

I thought I saw something for a minute there, but couldn't make anything of it. Still hanging with Isaac. A glass of cabernet, please.

Went very enjoyably (week 2-ish, MG-wise), after wasting much of the day (instead of doing the puzzle) working with four separate heating firms to diagnose a broken furnace. I'll celebrate this fun meta sitting in front of the . . . oh, yeah, we're out of firewood, too.
As a Californian, I need to know: approximately how many Manhattan cocktails does your body require to prevent freezing solid with extended exposure to temps in the 50s?

I've been staring at it for 2+ hours - Not even a clue. Normally - I have at least a red herring to chase down. I was doing origami looking for an answer.

Four. That’s a 100%er as they like to say here. (Just kidding).

Finished grid. Have an answer that is a real hail-mary, but "nothing" to support it.

Not to spout too many platitudes but one of the constants is "what is the constructor trying to get me to do with the title"

A few wrong paths led me astray before I found the proper AHA.

Grid, done.
Smithwicks from Isaac, and a chair on the lido deck with TPS and a few others, waiting to discover what's "inside".
I started these just this past November, so I'm one of the noobs who are going to dig around in the dirt for a while.

I appreciate the advice and that is how I always start. I just think Shenk gives crappy directions. At least with Gaffney I can at least sorta figure out what he wants us to do even if I can't solve it. Whit Shenk even when I see the solution I'm like - I NEVER had a chance.
