wow, seriously flummoxed with this one - hanging out with Isaac for the near future.

Before removing a wing, how about graduating airplane mechanic school, using the maintenance manual for that aircraft, and following the complete procedure? Nah, just unhook the wires and hoses and go for it.

In college, my roommate once told a campus cop, “I haven’t dreen binking”. Haha. True story! The funny thing is I really don’t think she had been drinking.TeaJenny wrote: ↑Sat May 15, 2021 9:17 pmBut, Occifer! I'm not as think as you drunk I am!

On the beach! Why did it take me so long? I guess my wife is right. I have never been very good at FOLLOWING DIRECTIONS!
My avatar proves that it is sometimes better to be lucky than good!

On shore after my daughter pointed out something (she hasn’t solved yet). Masterful puzzle!

Don't say that so loud. Otherwise they will make up signs and all of our wives will be buying them.

Well, tried to follow the directions for a long time, but doesn't work when you just read the first page of a 3-page direction booklet. Exhausting swim, but finally ashore . . . . thx to my crossword whisperer.

Tax return calling,
But directions eluding.
Dilemma forming!

On shore thanks to a muggle friend. Exhausted and bedraggled.

I'm hopelessly Lost At Sea and have decided it's time to throw in the towel instead of tunneling down more rabbit holes and finding nothing but the previously-mentioned gibberish. I would much rather be helping out in the ship's garden anyway. Or maybe Isaac could use a hand... (Back in the day, I actually did a bit of bartending at the restaurant where I worked during my summer break from teaching school.)

I'm still with Isaac. So frustrated because I can just tell the answer is within reach. If I could only convince myself to stop trying THE SAME TACTIC I'VE BEEN FRUITLESSLY TRYING FOR DAYS. I'm sure we've all been there. May not make it to shore this time.
Happy to give nudges. If you notice I've solved, please tell me about avenues you've explored so I can nudge you in the right direction and not off a cliff.

Bob,
I know you want to keep your tallies accurate so I’m sorry to point out that you listed me as ON SHORE but I really am LOST AT SEA on this one. I stepped out of the bar to help with the gardening on Mainmarges’s stern deck. Must have been exactly when you were doing the head count. I’m quite firmly planted back in the bar with Isaac and a boat load of (quite tipsy) muggles!

Those of you on the beach: See that orange and white donut floating way out there? No not there, look much, much further out....juuuuuust on the horizon.......yeah, that's it! Well, it's not a donut, it's me and my 'buoyancy aid'.
A slight nudge would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
PS. In the meantime, might want to get the seadoo and tow-rope ready....just in case.
