The Locals HINTS AND HAULS THREAD

So glad that you were happy with it. I appreciate your patience and willingness to let the Sixterhood box float around! I'm anxious to see all the states that it gets to travel to.

 

WTF. I hadn't paid attention to these LICC things, but now that the federal fiscal year is over, I have my life back. If @devilfluff doesn't take LICC this, I will.

And Alaska money sent.

 

Still waiting on a bm for donation info, I know @Mikexw is gonna be limited as far as internet usage goes for a couple days. Anyone else know, and want to send it over.

 

Done

 

Also done, had no pending time. Already says completed.

Thanks again for info.

 

Getting LICCed feels so good!

I will pack the brews this weekend and will ship them to NJ or MD early next week.

 

Limited access from my hotel tonight. But a few comments...

1 - per @Lehighace06 the donations are rolling in. I can not express how impressed I am with this group as a whole.

2 - since I don't want to get deleted like @treznor , I spelled "whole" with an "l" and not an "r" in my first item

3 - I completed my first pass at targets, but tomorrow when I get home I need to do a final check. Which will include a mapquest or google maps of all 35 addresses in order cuz I think it will look cool. Hope to send out targets Sunday or Monday.

4 - I was literally in my driveway when the fedex truck pulled up with my LICC ME package from @UcDru yesterday. All I did was put it in my garage, but will open it and post pron hopefully tomorrow.

5 - I love the LICC me concept. But statements like "who wants to LICC me" and "getting LICCed feels so good" still make me a little uncomfortable ;-)

 

You'll get used to it.

 

Yay I can post again!

 

I'll try to behave.

 

Righteous box, but having had the good fortune to have tried almost all of those, I'm glad I passed so someone else could experience them.

Yes too soon! Though posting off-topic, particularly with pictures, was part of the actual reason, so you weren't too far off.

The stuff I got my timeout for wasn't anything 'offensive' (while not directly involved, I did instigate a conversation that went into that territory), though that was the reason a ton of posts were deleted.

For those that don't know, untappd same as here.

Welcome!

I think this has been taken care of, now that I'm up and running again, BM me if not.

I've done targets for a group of a dozen and I agree, it can be more daunting than you'd think. I am definitely in the 'math' camp though, so I enjoy the challenge (I actually named my homebrew 'brewery' "Abacus Brewing Company" and name all my beers to date with an incremental number involved...
Hefezweizen was my 2nd batch (zwei is German for 2) and was a Hefeweizen
Fire Water was my 4th batch (fire pronounced fee-rah is 4 in Norse) and is a mead, thus the Norse
Lucky Zeven was my 7th, a Belgian Pale Ale; zeven is 7 in Dutch
I8A was an IPA and my 8th batch
1r1sh Stout was an Irish Stout and my 11th
...you get the idea

Awesome box man! And not a shabby Maine haul either.

There was no formally set goal, it was just a number in my head that I was hoping we'd get somewhere close to, so that I could cover all but $25-ish of the cost of the guy sending TO Alaska and still have some money to send to @blackcloud himself; he has said he doesn't need much since he knows what he's getting himself into, but I still want to help him out as well.

Not gonna quote them all, but thank you all for your contributions, a couple 'pending' have already cleared, and a few to go but I have no worries. Paypal doesn't give a shit why you're sending me money, just that you have it available to send.

Welcome back bro, and thank you, I'll look forward to receiving it.

Completely agree Mike, I've been floored by the generosity of these donations (especially the big ones... apparently bottles of beer isn't thing only thing about which you guys are having trouble with numbers.... )

Lastly, I really wish I could do some of these LICC ME trades, they've all looked so awesome and I LOVE the concept, I just can't add any more boxes to the trades, return fire, upcoming BIFs and soon-to-be-released LIFs I'm already involved in, my wife is going to murder me as it is and I can't blame her.

 

tl;dr: I'm back bitches!

Nice box! Jelly of that Dark Apparition, just polished my Black Crack (it's awesome) and I've never heard anyone complain about Noir or Bomb! beers... and Live Oak Hefe is hands down the best American interpretation of the style, and is neck and neck with the guys that have been doing it for half a millennium. Lots to enjoy in there.

 

This is an epic and classic @Lehighace06 post after sitting in timeout. This dude doesn't miss a beat. I think he was taking notes on posts waiting to get back into the thread

 

I think I need to get @rspauldi or @cultclassic89 to send me some recently released Prairie Pirate Bombs!!! Side trade gentleman?

 

You should see the shit I put up in SWTFYW, I literally had to break it into 3 posts just for BA to not reject the post. I did take some mental notes of things I wanted to come back to, but really once I was off timeout I just went back to my last post and moved forward from there, about 3 pages in this thread, 9 in the other one.

 

donation ssent this morning gonna be a good weekend

 

Sent my contribution to the shipping funds this morning too. Cheers!

 

I know you needed it last weekend but did you ever get the Heady you were looking for?
