Other than that the process was pretty easy and straightforward. Turns out I had to inform my iPhone of my new email password, too. The trouble with using the recommended strong passwords is that it's hard to remember all the capital letters, digits, and punctuation marks.

Let's not try to overthink this. <br />I think Lucina has a bead on it, and BEB nailed it.<br /><br />Dennis - Glad my vectoring could help. Hope S. Florida is not too hazy for your telescope.<br /><br />Many of you - I, too, was blown away by the Ocean Liner stretcher-outer clip of yesterday. I guess the work was done at the Blohm & Voss yards in Hamburg. The inserted section was fabricated at Bremerhaven and transported up the Elbe to Hamburg. <br />PK pointed out all the welding necessary in such work. The clip seemed to gloss over this very important phase, both of cutting the vessel apart, and then welding in the inserted section.Spitzboovhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04448007368332133086noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5995532066584316410.post-8130403150216161102014-04-11T17:13:21.864-05:002014-04-11T17:13:21.864-05:00My two cents worth on 35A Origami tablet?: I-PAD O...My two cents worth on 35A Origami tablet?: I-PAD OF PAPER:<br /><br />I do think it is a clunky clue, but it fits the theme.<br /><br />Tablet clues us to I-PAD. Easy.<br /><br />Origami involves making objects out of PAPER.<br /><br />So, I-PAD + PAPER gives us I-PAD OF PAPER.<br /><br />And pad of paper is a common phrase the constructor could add a vowel to make a new phrase.<br /><br />As Tinbeni said, don’t overthink it.
