Glad that you appear to be felling better and that your puzzle solving ability is also getting back to normal. I give you full point for light blue, you were close enough. That was the category I saw right away. I did manage a perfect solve in light blue-purple-green-yellow order and after a spate of challenging puzzles, one of which I failed, it's nice to get back to a perfect solve. I hit a dry spell for a while. As for the Mini, well done. I got it in 2 minutes flat, so you beat my time by a few seconds. I do not consider this a race unlike some other Puzzer Solvers on UA-cam who seem to act like it is. I'm not very good at Crosswords, I am just happy to to finish the Mini and yes, it's common I will finish one with an error I have to go back and fix though that did not happen with this Saturday puzzle.
“Indie” in general just stands for “independent” there is indie music, movies, games etc. it’s just anything made by independent artists outside of a major music label.
Not necessarily veers from the expected, that’s more avant garde. Independent is specifically artists that aren’t signed to a major record label. It’s the same thing with indie films.
Caterpillar Inc. Is known for a variety of heavy machinery like backhoes, excavators, dozers, loaders, engines and generators, etc. You also see their CAT logo on workwear and tools. I think the reference to Caterpillar is because the equipment is painted yellow and black.
You appear to be doing a little better. Have you been working with your doctor? Are you dealing with a really bad cold? I am guessing that you are pushing fluids and taking medicine for your condition. Aside from myself, I am sure that others want an update from you, Art. You do not have to get into specifics .As with me, I continue to have my good and bad days in these games. I finished mailing additional Xmas cards yesterday and I have been watching all my Xmas Hallmark movies. 😎

Great job on the Mini, despite that errant N. ❤
FIGGY: as in "O, bring us some figgy pudding..." in "We wish you a Merry Christmas".

"Indie" is short for independent. Music that veers from the expected.
It's good to see you!

Thanks Chazz. Yes, I'm doing a little better.
Great! A lot of us are guilty of pushing ourselves too much.
Going to deduct points Art. Caterpillar is not a logo. Green is not scheduling.
My buddy from England is being tough on me :(
@ no hard feelings ! Also you do seem to be on the mend I'm glad to see.
Well done, Art! Hope your health continues to improve!
