I found the Saturday fairly clued, but still particularly challenging. This was the first time in a long time I felt I might not solve it. I had so many fills left. I think I was not quite on the right wavelength today. But I stuck with it, getting OLDERGENERATION, SEEINGEYEDOG, and PENALTYKICK started the dominoes falling and finished slightly slower than my Saturday average. I quite enjoyed the challenge. Long story short, this made a 1000-day solve streak for me. Now onto the next 1000.

The one criticism I have is that TAILS with the "T" off the grid, combined with the BUTTOUT reveal sent me down the wrong path for the puzzle theme. Eventually I solved the puzzle. Harder than normal for me.
