    Hint #1: All your hints are belong to me
    Hint #2: Both boxes are heading east

    Haven't hinted in a while... But I'm shipping to the state I went to college in and also to a state where I stopped to check out a brewery last fall in my Kansas to Virginia road trip.

    Shared Hints
    My target's are over 3000 miles from each other per Google Maps.
    Both participated in at least one other BIF that I've been part of recently.
    Both will be getting about 250 oz, mainly IN distro, but will be getting at least one bottle from a recent visit to the west coast.

    Target 1
    Box is packed and heading east of me.
    Couldn't hit much his wants, but will be getting a significant hard-to-part-with want from my cellar (among a few other hard-to-part-with bottles).
    Should also be getting a box from another BA with a similar name as me.

    Target 2
    Box is packed and heading west of me.
    Will be getting a significant amount of FFF, mainly wants.

    2 boxes to each of my targets should go out tomorrow :grinning: - with more boxes going out later in the week

    I think I may have made a rookie mistake--I don't remember putting my BA name in or on the box.
    Since my target has shipped to me in the past, I'm sure he'll figure it out.

    I made that mistake last time around, but made sure I included it this time :grinning:

    I make that mistake every BIF, but my real name isn't too far off from my user name

    It was about 110 degrees in the warehouse yesterday and I was sweating my nut sack off while I was packing the box. I may have been a little delirious by the time I got done.
    I realized it this morning, but an equally sweaty UPS driver had already picked it up.

    Sounds uncomfortable to say the least. I am rather attached to my nut sack...I can only imagine.

    Hint #3: It would take about 11 hours and 10 mins for one target to drive to the other target.

    Targer one probably had to have his cane custom made.

    Target two lives in a state that my favorite TV series is set in. The show has a doctor, former male model and Inigo Montoya.

    It's not looking like I'm any closer to coming up with a want. However, two local breweries are supposed to be releasing limited brewery only beers in one of my targets preferred styles. Unless I come up with a want I'm planning to pick these up which will cause me to ship right near the end of the BIF

    Tomorrow, I think my target in CA will become the first person to have received both boxes?

    Box number two (first to ship, but second with all of the hints) was shipped today. Will be heading to a state that some can extrapolate the use of a writing implement. This target has also been curiously quiet so far, so it may be a surprise porch violation. Disclaimer - not responsible for the lack of porch reinforcement. It was in the fine print drbenzo sent out. Unless you were on the same thread as cuzco, then you completely missed it :sunglasses:

    Got over-packed boxes for both targets. Making a last stop at Jolly Pumpkin & Kuhnhenn's friday, then voting some bottles off the island so the shippers will actual close and sending Monday. Target one current sitting at 220oz (including bonus beers for sending to IM) w/ and average of 88. There are couple beers in there with very mixed reviews and low ratings (77?!?!? :astonished:) that are dropping that average down. They seem target's style though. Target 2 currently sitting at 174oz with an average of 89 (again, a low rated beer that I think target will like.) Well see what JP and Kuhnhenns has though, to mix things up. :grinning:
