I have a nest too. Tho last year the crows killed the two day old hatchling, so this year I've tried some swirly shiny decorations to dissuade them

So cute!!! I love bird's nests

By the way, I am still on the ship. I see what I need to work with, just don't know what to do with it. All I get is gibberish.

Some of us long for pure, blissful blankness. Enjoy it while you can. This one is very gettable.

Finally ashore! The answer came to me in the middle of the night -- so much for sleeping!!

I'm ashore! This was a great meta!

Ashore. Took three looks before it all clicked.

ALS

Pardon the interruption - but for anyone needing a virtual arts fix, The Shows Must Go On is streaming Matthew Bourne's The Car Man this weekend (free). It's a modern dance based loosely on Carmen. I just started watching, and so far it looks really good:



We now resume our regular program schedule...

Ashore! Feeling proud.
Ask the cabana boy to bring me a G & T.

I’ve asked Isaac for a rabbit cocktail...

On shore! This is the first one like this that we've ever gotten, which is pretty exciting.

We also got our 2nd shots today, so double exciting.

Grid completed, but aimlessly floating with the meta.

Had half of the first half for ages, then decided to have one more look see. I have finally left Isaac and heading to my other favorite bartender Russell at Ruth's Chris. Since it's not Friday, tonight is going to have to be the vodka martini, Mr. Bond. No connect four at this bar though.

Thought about editing my page one post to say I was on shore, but fear the wrath of Khan. The evil side of me thought it would be funny, but the not evil sliver decided I didn't want to be 'that guy' forever here. Maybe I'm late enough to be on page last.

Added note for the vaccine tally: the missus and I both got the J&J before it was pulled. Other than what could be hangover symptoms, no after effects. n.b., 6 incidents out of almost 7 million doses for the J&J vaccine. Glad we got it just before it was pulled. Saved another stick and the logistical gymnastics to get it.

Got part one before going to sleep. Then couldn’t sleep until I solved it.

Took a while because I’m traveling and am without a printer. The Excel sheet saved me. Thank you Mr. Ross!

On shore. My first post here! That was not easy at all!!

Safely ashore. This was an enjoyable, clever romp.

Congrats! You realize you are now hooked, right?

I can't even find Isaac.

I really enjoyed the construction of this meta,

and admire the creativity of the meta creators to

dream up this stuff and make it work for us hapless solvers!

I’m ashore.
