On shore! Only figuratively but I am sitting outside in my relaxation station enjoying a coffee ale and 70 degree weather.

At sea, silly me.

This NC Tar Heel is on shore. Beer me. Meta and grid solved. 100% percent on the solution. ( I like it when there is no ambiguity)

We watch only one show here on Isaac's TV.
It's about a boat. Don't change the channel.

Close to reaching for the Wendy phone, and then I noticed something which connected to an earlier thought and here I am on shore! Happy to provide nudges.

Was about to give up and thought well maybe I should try one more thing. Turns out that was the winning ticket! Ashore and ready for a glass of sauvignon blanc.

Hadn't had a chance to look until this evening. Safely ashore!
Delivered 3 wedding cakes, a dessert table (brownies, macorons, cupcakes) and 600 cupcakes to a non-profit event. One more wedding cake to go this weekend!

Appreciate the thought, the other daughter and I already have some semi-devious plans of our own involving tags and an alternate address if Carter gets lost. Should be a great wedding present.Bob cruise director wrote: ↑Sat May 20, 2023 10:45 am@Scott Lindholm I bet that with muggle support, we can supply your daughter with tags from every team in MLB.

Ashore! Got a late start but not that late! Impressed with the crowd. I had a hard time this one even though I was sure of the answer just needed to find the mechanism to swim there. I guess this was a previously used mechanism I hadn’t seen. Glad it’s not Sunday

On the boat with my BFF Isaac.
Terribly difficult grid, and contest same vibes.
I have 3 days to let this percolate into a solve.
I swear I tried the mechanism on Thursday and it didn't work, but perhaps I was rushing myself

Ashore!
After sleeping on this it came to me.
I'm off to explore London however so no libations quite yet!
Cheers!

Since days of bumper stickers are all but gone, team-logoed license plates can have allegiances realigned with careful measurements and patient searching for correctly-sized stickers. From experience, I know it can take brothers-in-law weeks and months of dirty looks, angry honks, and single-digit signaling before digging the changes.Scott Lindholm wrote: ↑Sat May 20, 2023 10:11 pmAppreciate the thought, the other daughter and I already have some semi-devious plans of our own involving tags and an alternate address if Carter gets lost.

I'm wondering if this is a tv show I've ever heard of. If so, it must be "I've Got a Secret."
Been down some very clever rabbit holes. Maybe I'll suggest the mechanisms to Mr. Gaffney.
Ahoy, Isaac!

For nudges, feel free to PM me. I won't have a clue how to help you, but you might shove me ashore.

@PhantomPhan Good luck with the wedding cakes. My wife had a wedding cake business and the delivery was the most stressful part. Getting to the facility and then in from the parking lot can mean moving the cake through a maze. And there is no Plan B.PhantomPhan wrote: ↑Sat May 20, 2023 10:09 pm Hadn't had a chance to look until this evening. Safely ashore!

She also hated doing cupcakes. You can't charge enough to pay for the labor that goes into them.

I can safely tell you that this is not an arcane TV show
