    This, for me, is the most stressful time, now that my box is out of my hands. I'll be checking tracking info obsessively for the next few days.

    Aw, quite trolling for more beer! I know your game!

    Getting @sharpski on board (and any other Oregonians, for that matter) would be a big help. There's a lot of great Oregon beer I, for one, don't have access to for sending to other parts of the nation. Kinda surprised no Coloradans are on board, either.

    Except for the folks involved in the BIF, most of my BA friends tend to be on either coast for some reason. All we can do is ask, wheedle, beg, threaten, and encourage others to join in. Which I will be doing.

    I'm actually a little dismayed no movement has happened yet re: my first salvo. I'll be checking later on when I have a chance while at work (now regretting having signed up to fill in for someone at work this afternoon).

    Fedex's computer system doesn't seem to actually keep up with physical movement. My inbound has been listed as On Truck for Delivery since 5:48 am, Saturday, in Burlington. I'd suspect it's actually headed north by now.

    A box full of AMAZING hops just landed in more doorstep courtesy of @ONovoMexicano. In the next few days, I will have gone from having zero New Mexican beers (as far as I recall) to as many of NM's top ten as I've had from Pennsylvania -- and I'm told there's a SECOND box on its way, too. Thanks, brother.

    Or maybe somebody who works in a Burlington warehouse had a great day at work.

    Nice. The box only looks like it got punted two or three times and only one handstand was performed atop it. Well done USPS!

    And yes, you're next box is scheduled for Wednesday. I wanted to make sure the IPAs got to you more quickly though.

    So my swag box from @thebeers arrived on Saturday. Completely unexpected but appreciated for sure. Good stuff man!

    Watching this week's NBS and now dipping into this thread, I've started thinking about what I'd include in a box. Some longtime ambassadors from Bend Brewing, maybe some of the new cans from Sunriver, Silver Moon, or Crux, a crowler or three from Growler Guys; it's got my brain turning. I think I'll be ready to participate in #4.

    Got bottles here, and it's on tap pretty regular. I prefer * , but 2x4 will do in a pinch.

    You know anyone up in HR who might be interested? Pfriem, Double Mountain, and Logsdon would make a heavy impact on some poor New Englander's antique porch. :wink:

    And, as for you, you could just nuke folks with Boneyard left and right.

    I don't know who my sender is. I am going to try and go through the hints again tonight.
    I am not going to make myself crazy about it though.

    Still waiting on the * and yeah, 2X4 are at 2 places in Casper so far. Shaolin also worked in a pinch; hope it comes back again.
