    Well FedEx managed to damage my shipment. It's getting back to me tomorrow. Hoping the damage is minimal and a bottle that is easily replaced, in which case it will be back out, probably trying UPS this time, by the end of the week.

    This bomb left today, it will be there on one of the days NOT on my targets days he likes boxes to arrive (sorry).

    I didn't notice it until after I already shipped so this is the final heads up.

    First box is out with 123.66 ounces of sours and 25.36 ounces of extras, with an average BA score of 93.25 and rAVG of 4.20. Unfortunately due to me being temporarily dumb, I left the second box sitting on my desk with the other extras and goodies. I will get this out as soon as I can, but will likely not be until Tuesday. I apologize to my target for having to wait; however, the first box should be substantial enough to hold you over. And who knows, maybe the Iris I ordered weeks ago will finally get here before I send it.:wink:

    Aha! The mystery is solved. Sometimes our building is a little slow to notify me of deliveries. The shirt and the glasses are both awesome. I happen to love Troegs, btw. Thanks!

    The story of my damaged box continues to be a mystery. Sorry to my target, I'll be putting together an apology box after I straighten out this one. When the damage was noted last week it said it was being returned to me. Then yesterday it said that it was going to be delivered to my target today. Now today it has the red damaged note again, and says return to shipper again, however it looks like it is actually in Pittsburgh again based on the last place it was scanned. And it again says that it is going to be delivered to my target tomorrow........

    Picking up the last extra tomorrow, a excellent seasonal stout from Olde Hickory, then shipping out Monday.

    Last hint till D-day, my target zip code adds up to 21 and he has no food allergies.
