    My box is coming together...

    Some of my targets wants have been captured... I use that term on purpose as it somehow relates to my target profession.
    A few more interesting goodies to go, and hopefully the box could be out Tuesday.

    I got the wife to give the boy his bath so I can run out to the FedEx depot to pick-up my box!!!!! Given that there are two people participating in this CANBIF from this province, and my last box was from one of them, I think I know who it's from! I can't wait to see what's inside :grinning:! So excited......

    Picked up one final fresh IPA today for the box. Everything that tastes better fresh was bottled in September. Everything was brewed and bottled within a one hour drive from my home. Most beers are brewery only. Will box up over the week-end and get the package out on Monday or Tuesday.

    I think I'm done shopping, but then again I also thought that a couple days ago. Box will go out Monday.
    It wont need to go as far East as Toronto but will easily make it past Manitoba on its way to my target.

    A great couple of boxes to start!

    My box(s) went out today....a tad over 300 oz with the styles my target likes. Something in there is counter pressure filled and may or may not have fit in a styro shipper.

    Hint #3 - it's been a rough 3 weeks, but at least you're keeping it pretty even.

    That was the time I discovered that ~20% ABV beer is actually fairly flammable, unlike the "regular" stuff. :sunglasses:

    Picked up a small growler from a brand new brewery today along with a nice piece of swag. Going to do more shopping Monday and then pack things up.

    220 oz of some awesomely amazing beers from the booming NS craft brew scene. Hmmmm, not sure I want to part with the box. Will try to part ways with it Monday or Tuesday after I get some swag to add. Hope my target enjoys it as much as I would have! :slight_smile:

    Hint #2: Resistance is futile

    So, the bad news is that I won't be able to make the beer marshmallows this year due to some timing difficulties, but the good news is that I can now fill the empty slot with a new seasonal release.

    The good news is I have too much beer to send. The good news is that Sartori comes out soon. The good news is I might get to drink some of the beers I can't fit in the box. The bad news? Hmmm, it's +27 in Vancouver now, sorry dudes, no bad news :grinning:
