Great fun on the zoom getting to know more muggles! We had over 25 this week! Nice to see all who came on.
Don & Cynthia

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!

UPDATE! Thanks to the Zoom meeting I am headed to shore. I am not too proud to be using water wings.

I actually figured out the answer via other means a couple of hours ago BUT I could not make the back solve work. Great metanism! I was dancing all around it without realizing it.

Nice! Not the vehicle I was thinking/ wanting it to be either, lol.

Still took some brain work on my end, but now resting comfortably ashore thanks to the 4:30 group solve!

Current dilemma... a nice glass of Pinot Noir or some Hotel Tango Whiskey. 🤔 😂

Great to see/ hear everyone! Have a great weekend all!

Thank you zoom group! Not the car I was expecting, and wouldn’t have solved it without help, but still satisfying. Going to get a scotch from the cabana boy

Wow...

I see two possible avenues of attack and neither are working out. I suspect I'll be staying at sea this weekend; we'll see...

Bummed to have missed the zoom... didn't pay for the onboard cellular plan. Guess I'll be staring further with my compadres with Isaac. May be seeking artful nudges later this weekend but so far still enjoying the hunt. Cheers all!

Ashore. Took awhile and assurance from friends that I was on the right track. Clever construction.

I need a nudge. I feel like know how this "should" work and it's not adding up.

Still at sea. Going back and forth from WSJ to MGWCC. Maybe not the best strategy, but we’ll see what happens.

Old Fashioned with Piggy Back rye tonight.

New York Sour! Then you can enjoy both.


ed: Also, still afloat with my shipmates. At least I'm in good company.

Ashore after a nudge. This was one of those where I thought I was chasing rabbits but they weren’t rabbits at all; I actually had what I needed but didn’t realize it.
I never would have put this together without the nudge. Not submitting. Good luck to all!

Our plans a bit upended. We'll not make it to the Tiki Bar this evening.

On the Ship


Well, it's Earth Day -- and Isaac is doing his part by recycling all those bunnies that got their ears nibbled off last weekend --
Now we know why they make em' hollow!

Had to go back and count my current streak, which is at 14 and apparently ending this week. I feel like Jerry Seinfeld after he ate the black and white cookie. The streak isn’t over yet but you can feel it coming!
