Wouldn't have had a prayer of solving this without the CO's nudging on the puzzle group call last week...thank you!! Stopped to sign this one on my way north for work this morning. Thanks for placing this puzzle.

FTF today at 11:00 am!
I started looking at this puzzle the night it came out but had to Break Off. I went down so many wrong paths (Botched Operations) that I lost count. Was this a Bad Omen? Barack Obama couldn’t help me here. Neither could the Buck Opposition in the Background Optic. I felt like directing some temper by playing Black Ops or Blood Omen or listening to some Blue October at high volume through my Bang and Olafsens. I knew I had to Back Off for a while but couldn’t get BO and CB and FQ out of my head — Brain Overload!
I slept on it and had a Bedazzling Observation at 4am. Later in the morning I chased that down to no avail. Big O. Bucked Off again. So I sat and stared at the puzzle some more. Getting stir-crazy…. Then something came to mind that fit all the clues and with one more Google search, I had the answer! Blindingly Obvious! Turns out I had already landed on the right answer for one of the clues… just thought it was a Bad Option and didn’t take it far enough.
When I found success in the checker, I activated my Battery Operated GPS device and was on my way! Beautiful Obfuscation at GZ! Adding a favorite, TFTC!
