    Yeah i don't understand how fedex works either. How cna my box leave Orland at 8pm only to get to Orlando at 6am. How long does it take to drive across town. Is it traffic or does everyone stop to see Captin EO when they are in Orlando.

    I was 99.9% sure anyway. The fedex thing threw me off a bit, but I still figured it was me. I'm looking forward to it.

    Scenario 1: There are two FedEx buildings in Orlando. They loaded the truck at one, drove it across town, parked it overnight, and scanned the boxes on the morning shift.

    Scenario 2: It stayed at the same building, but they had more trucks than loading docks, so they cycled the local boxes through the sorting process, loaded them into a truck that never left the premises, and unloaded it again on the morning shift.

    I had a Stone 09 a few weeks ago and its was amazing. Age better it better IMO. Really glad to see everything made it in pne piece. I hope you enjoy everything. Drink the IPAs(New Mexico's Finest) First of course, I figure you could drink those while you unpack the box. haha

    I'm drinking the IPA's tomorrow, while I get some "honey do" stuff done around the house. It should make it tolerable. I'm excited to try them, as I have not heard of them but they sound great!

    My honey-do list for the day consists of helping stick address labels on postcards while I yell at a hockey game. All is for the best in the best of all possible worlds.

    Here's another clue for my target: I just won a LIF with an incredibly lucky guess, and the box/winning guess includes two of your wants. I'd already thrown my only bottle of each into your box although I haven't tried them myself, yet, so this makes that a lot less painful for me. Of course, pain is a sign of a good box, so now you're going to get an extra bottle or two that will cause me some more pain to toss in.

    Did some sleuthing today and narrowed it down to five potential senders, with one clear frontrunner and four guys who haven't been very active with clues. Don't know how I missed the Tuiasosopo clue, they're all over Seattle sports
