Lots of fun with the bird theme…Funky Chicken brought back some memories! A good, tight puzzle to start the day.

“Oh, boy!”, I thought, in noticing a favorite celebrity and co-puzzlemaker. But then, I took a pleasant journey, digging into my limited knowledge of tools and nostalgia of my grad school days in the machine shop. What fun…thank you, Mr. Offerman and Ms. Iverson!

Solved this one line by line - and delighted to see the ice cream cone pattern at the end…what fun!🍦☀️

Nice debut, Mr. Brody - as a fellow scientist, I especially loved the technical clues…and learning about Hesse, the “mother of microbiology”!

Delightful, Mr. Martinovic!
