Good morning! I’ve got an answer that’s just teetering on the line of being too far-fetched. I like it but will keep thinking.

Good Morning, all! Cold and rainy day here, so no golf today and plenty of time to think about this one.....I'll be back.....

Okay, Ahnold🤠

Good morning! I was up bright and early getting the bird stuffed for Thanksgiving. Happy Thanksgiving weekend to all. 🇨🇦🦃

I’ve got three ideas for this one. One I think is better than the rest. It still needs work, though.

Thanks, Jasdip

Only some odd ideas. Thanks, Jasdip.

Well what a wonderful day! Good company, good food.

The weather was fantastic and we even managed to get outside and have a few rounds of bocce. Thinking about how wonderful the weather was today, and how it is getting to be more the rule than the exception for this time of the year, made me settle on an answer for Jasdip’s puzzle.

Is anyone else thinking along this line?

That’s not speaking to me, roxsol, but I’m still not sure of mine. Who knows.

Glad you had a great Thanksgiving, rox! Hope the same for all of our other Canadian KTers! Your hint put a couple of other thoughts in my mind, but I still can't really make this work.....hmmm....not giving up just yet.

Thanks, letters. My answer isn’t quite right so I’m going to think on it some more. I think I’m on the wrong track altogether.

I hope you have a great day.

No Os, nose, knows…who knows?

tj

The nose knows, so they say.

Still thinking.

eta I keep going back to the weather angle. 🤔

Yep, that’s the direction I’m headed. Two to pick from.

Haha....going by tsugajunkie's train of thought, it might be nostrils! (nose holes....ha!) I'm settling on an answer that I highly doubt is correct, but I don't think I'm going to get any better.

Two to pick from.

LOL!

Yep letters, that’s one of my answers.

Nostrils…no Os holes.

Golf pro…knows holes.

Maybe just empty holes.

tj

Maybe something to do with mountain climbing. That’s my guess….
Do I give my answer yet?

djacob, Jasdip usually gives the answer later on today.

Now, I’m thinking about your mountain climbing comment. Hmmmm

djacob, we usually just toss around ideas. Some cause AHA! moments, others just cause more confusion. 🤠 We mark/grade our own papers.

And sometimes we give out hints to our ideas too early (😗 just IMHO!!!) but I think Mondays are fair game!

Yikes FOAS! I think hints to our ideas are fun right off the bat. I like listening to what others have to say.

Hmmm, I think I’ll just be a silent observer for awhile. LOL 🤐

^LOL!!!!!!!!!!!

(I only 'outed' tsuga's answer by accident....didn't actually think it would be the answer, just thought it was funny, and food's 'two to pick from' made it too hard to resist!)

Haha its all good Roxsol - I’ve taken to reading carefully if I’m still working. It works out fine! Don’t change on my account!

As a basic non combatant( I almost never get it with this venue) I do love the give and take. That is part of the fun?

Sorry, evidently my comment came across more seriously than intended. Yes there’ve been one or two times that I read an early comment that I thought totally gave it away, but whatever. Like I said, I try to be careful about reading when I’m still trying to get some initial thoughts on my own, but I enjoy the hints and banter as well. And I still have no idea what the nice weather could have to do with this weeks’ puzzle!

FOAS, it’s fine. 🤠

I’m not worried about my hints giving it away as they’re not very good, and usually my answer is wrong. Case in point, my comments about weather are not very good hints as to what I’m thinking about. I’m thinking more along the line of maybe needing sunscreen.

And where’s that darn Jasdip? Soaking up the sun somewhere on this long weekend I bet. 😎🌞 Who knows.

eta I am intrigued by the mountain climbing hint, though.

No loopholes? Alrighty then.

Now I don’t feel so bad about guessing ”holes in the ozone”, I got sucked into a black hole on this one. 🤠

Thanks, Jasdip

Ha, roxsol, holes in the ozone was where your hints took me but I wasn’t convinced that’s what you meant.

I had two no o’s holes. Two nose holes. Didn’t elevate that to nostrils.

Pre-coffee disclaimer. Someone’s gonna have to explain how loopholes (or no loopholes?) works.

I’m guessing the two holes have no O’s (loops) in them. Who knows.

Food, sorry. I was going by memory when I said nostrils. Obviously I should have said nose holes. Lol

The only thing I can think of the answer is, it's showing it twice, so on a loop. Best I can do.

Well, that answer has thrown me for a loop. But it did spark dialog. Thanks again.

tj

Jasdip - nostrils were brought up ealier ss well!

Where was the mountain climbing headed?

I’ve got yodelling in my head.

Now I can’t get ”olly olly oxen free” out of my head.

tj

Oh my God -- No loopholes was my answer!!! Maybe it's an occupational hazard since I'm a contract negotiator. I thought it was a stretch - should've been more confident!

And I actually like holes in the ozone....it didn't occur to me but makes as much sense. Thank goodness for self grading papers!

No Os is the term climbers use when they climb tall mountains in the Himalayan mountains (or other very tall mountains ) without supplemental oxygen.
