    I'll let my LIF go through the night to let more folks chime in. If no one guesses the three by morning I'll give a couple hints and everyone will get a chance to guess again. There were two ppl that was very close, started to think this wouldn't last 24hrs.

    Hey target -- my last hint eliminated all other options, so if you've been paying attention and haven't eliminated me yet, I'm your sender. And your box is packed and in my car for early Monday morning dropoff

    Hint: As I am packing tonight, my target is not aware of me being their sender. Let's reduce the number of possibilities here. I am a marathon runner and I hope to run the main marathon in your state in the future.

    You should ask them for old boxes to use for shipping (or at least labels!)

    Old Hints:

    Hint: East
    Hint: Target's state has gotten more snow than mine.
    Hint: I've never shipped to my target's state.
    Hint: Boeing. = They make Jets

    Yeah, really lucky to have this one... Was saving it for a special ocassion but after some cellar restructuring i realize i dont have as many special ocassions as "special ocassion" brews - so why not make drinking it the special ocassion? :wink:

    So... I think the group is thinking to themselves... "Pics or it didn't happen"
    I could be wrong though

    Adam Firestone and David Walker still call it Abacus. They refuse to say Sucaba
