Puzzle Description:
Me and my hubby (the REAL furface) taking a ride on the lake in our pontoon boat/fishing barge.

With 12 reds left over, the grouping of 3,3,2 must be in the upper right corner because no combination of those can make the remaining four reds.#2: Norma Dee (norm0908) on Aug 20, 2012
Great puzzle. How I envy you. Dramamine anybody?#3: Tom O'Connell (sensei69) on Aug 21, 2012
looks like fun, Joel Lynn & thx for entry#4: Kristen Vognild (kristen) on Aug 21, 2012
I was gonna say "looks like fun," but Tom beat me to it :(#5: Joel Lynn (furface1) on Aug 21, 2012 [SPOILER]
So...it looks like a hoot!
Thanks! Norma, since it's a pontoon boat, it's a lot more stable than other types of hulls, but we don't go out on the lake (Ontario, a really big lake) if it's the least bit rough. We are on a bay off of the lake and usually just motor around that. It only gets bouncy when another boat passes us going fast.#6: Jota (jota) on Aug 21, 2012
Awesome! Thanks!#7: Aldege Cholette (aldege) on Aug 22, 2012 [SPOILER]
Very nice Joel,do you and the real furface get romantic in it at night on the lake. Now that sounds like fun and a hoot. You are a lucky girl and i'm happy for you,:)#8: Teresa K (fasstar) on Aug 22, 2012
Fantastic puzzle - what a fun solve! And the perfect idea for keeping cool. Don't forget the sunscreen and lots of fluids.#9: Joel Lynn (furface1) on Aug 22, 2012 [SPOILER]
Now, Joel Lynn, are you going to answer Aldege's question? Aren't we nosy? :-D
Thanks, Jota, Aldege, and Teresa!#10: valerie o..travis (bigblue) on Aug 23, 2012
Aldege, too many bugs at night. It's an open deck boat with just a small canopy, no cabin, no screens. I hate bugs, as soon as they come out, I go in the house. Bug spray (and sunscreen, too) feels yucky on my skin, so I try to limit my exposure and wear long sleeves and pants.
great joel :)#11: Aldege Cholette (aldege) on Aug 23, 2012
Joel,i wouldn't care if you wore full armour,if i was furface i'd be enjoying you on the open deck boat just the same.lol.:)#12: Joel Lynn (furface1) on Aug 23, 2012 [SPOILER]
Thanks, Travis.#13: Web Paint-By-Number Robot (webpbn) on Oct 1, 2024
And Aldege, too, I guess. Kinda scares me!
Found to be solvable with moderate lookahead by wombatilim.#14: Wombat (wombatilim) on Oct 1, 2024 [HINT]
Initial line & color logic solves 91% with only red remaining.
R1: Whether the 3 is within C17-20 or in C28-30, the 3 in R2 will need to be placed in C28-30.
LL to finish.
