SWTFYW Hints and Hauls!!!

So everyone in Michigan with a BORIS thinks its them? Geez.

My target will also get a barrel aged version of one of their wants. Hope they like barrel aged shit but it doesn't matter, I'm sending what I would like to get since our distros intertwine like a gross game of drunk twister.

 

And yes I hate UofM, but not as much as the Tigers right now cause it seems to be way easier to beat that team up north than the Tigers.

 

Well there is an image I wanted running through my brain right before lunch.

 

If a sender is really new, they can't post in the trade forums for a certain time period. They could have enetered the BIF via just BM'ing Nate. That was the case I had when I had a target in the Can Can BIF.

 

Yes! Congrats to all dads and expecting dads!!!

 

I hope this is the case w/ my target. Although, if he's truly green, I can't say I'll be gentle his first time...

 

... you didn't say that you were not my sender. But If it is me i do love me some barrel aged beers!

 

Hint 1: Shipping west
Hint 2: My target has been on BA longer than I have.
Hint 3: My target has posted in this thread.
Hint 4: I have shipped to this state in at least one previous bif.
Hint 5: My target lives pretty close to a natural body of water.
Hint 6: My target has had a beer from my state in the past month.
Hint 7: If I were to drive to my target, I would be on one single interstate highway for about 99% of the journey.

Lunchtime shopping trip. They were just stocking the shelves with some of these:

 

Stupid alerts keep intermittently working. Planning to duck out of work to do some shopping later/shop my cellar for some wants.

 

I'm reading all these hints and I can't say any look like me. Unless maybe Don Knotts filmed something in KY...

 

Hint 1: I am shipping South.
Hint 2: I am shipping West.​

Hint 3: My target is NOT in my time zone.​

Hint 4: I have been in a BIF with this person before.​

Hint 5: I've been on BA longer than my target.​

 

Man, I don't know what a caffeine-loaded robot rooster tastes like, but I'm excited. I've been pretty hopeful since about hint 5, and if you've falsely roped me in through 7 hints you're a master.

I-80's a sweet drive (no, not really). I got to enjoy multiple days of it when I moved from PA. Wyoming is, for lack of any better adjective, miserable.

Although, to be fair, I didn't pick up I-80 until Iowa City because I was visiting friends in Columbus, OH; Madison, WI.

 

It's a Wisconsin rooster, and as such, probably deranged.

And I probably should point out a huge portion of people in this country live close to a natural body of water. Just sayin'.

 

Just looking up the ratings of what I have for my target so far ... 87, 92, 94, 84, 94, 100, 100, 91, 85, 95, 94. More to come of course, and I'll be shipping early next week.

 

Down to 23 people officially, but there's a few I could kinda eliminate.

Currently have 2 or 3 strong guess'.

 

Same boat, down to 16 with three that are more probable. Not counting any non-posters.

 

I'm actually counting non-posters. My list is all inclusive.

 

My plan has worked perfectly. Mua ha HA HA!

 

Damn did I watch that movie a lot of that as a kid - well, that and The Waltons and Little House on the Prairie.

 

Hint 1: My target did not post in this thread prior to my first post in this thread.
Hint 2: I will be shipping to the north of the Mason-Dixon line (if it extended indefinitely).
Hint 3: My target will be happy to receive a bomber of Bear Republic Cafe Racer, even though I do not see it listed as a "want" on his BA profile.
Hint 4: Today I visited a local brewery that delivers one of its brews exclusively by bicycle to keep that beer local to the town. If they were instead located on a street with the same name nearest you, you'd be able to have this beer delivered to you at home.
Hint 5: My target has some sort of voodoo skills for acquiring out-of-distribution beer (even ones just released), and I've been made aware of the fact that he has about half of what I was planning to send already in his possession (if the internet does not lie).
Hint 6: My target's state has as many people in this BIF as my state (based on the awkward 66-person list that may have up to two inaccuracies).
