Ashore. Didnt think I'd make it, then I noticed something that made my half baked idea succeed after all.

Well there you go. You just don't have anything, until you have everything. One nice elegant touch to seal this one up too. Count me ashore...

On the shore!

Good Mother's Day muggles

I hope everyone is having a wonderful Mother's Day wherever you are.

So far we have 10 on the ship and 169 on the shore.

Good luck to all solving the meta and winning the elusive mug

I have been very limited in my time to devote to any of the metas lately. I am in the midst of moving my mom from her current home to a retirement community close to me (along with work).
So, I held no great expectations of solving this week’s Friday meta.
But, I’ll be darned if I didn’t get it!
Good to be on shore! 🏖

On Shore. Took a ton of time but amen at last!

When the mechanism finally came TO ME, I thought I'd leave a hopefully subtle bread crumb with my "On Shore" announcement...
ATOn --> aMEn

I don't know if anyone else is planning a Last Call at Isaac's bar today. Between Mother's Day, the Padres game, and MST3K's premiere of "Beyond Atlantis" , I may not make it to the Zoom Room at 8 Eastern. But I thought I would start the conversation...

On shore. Wonderful construction. In April I solved only one puzzle, hoping this week's marks the beginning of a better month! Happy Mother's Day to all Muggle Mothers.

Never tried May wine. I have made dandelion wine (once…). Nowadays I prefer to buy Abita strawberry beer when in season made with Louisiana strawberries.

Still asea for me. Since finishing the grid on Thursday, lots of other things going on:

Thursday - Fiesta then Siesta
Friday - Trip to the Fort Worth Zoo then siesta.
Saturday - Daughter and SIL took us to the Dallas - Calgary playoff game, then long Siesta.
Sunday - Ongoing Mother's Day shenanigans with the kiddos. Whilst my wife takes her Siesta I took another look and found a first step, but that's as far as I've gone.
More visitors stopping by, so this will be either a last minute solve or another miss.

UPDATE:

I am on a beach. Submitted the solution I found and hope it's right - been a dry spell. All I can say is the solution I found is a chemical element (per Google search), arrived at using a reasonable mechanism. Whether it's the right mechanism, I'll soon find out! Too early still for another Siesta.

Oh my gosh. After looking and looking and looking all weekend, there it was. Just in time for Mother’s Day dinner with my two beautiful children! Phew.

Oops, forgot to post! Had my thoughts adjusted this morning and solved in no time. Stopped at halfway. Silly me. Enjoyed Mother's Day on shore.

Got to shore yesterday, but did not have time to post. Good one!

Remember McArthur wading ashore in the Phillipines, jaw jutted forward, pipe tightly clenched, purposeful stride. Just like me this evening, except I came tumbling in unconscious on the surf, stranded on the reef when the tide went out, and the pipe is in six fathoms.

But I am finally ashore.

I'll have a Heimlich.

Our final count is 8 on the ship and 176 on the shore.

Good luck to all and have a great week

Still on the boat. .... Still looking......

You made me laugh out loud. Thank you for that!

Finally ashore, after a long dry spell!
