    I was assigned to officiate the western Massachusetts adult men’s semi finals and finals in Springfield, mass tonight. Treehouse was on my way and as I have waited a LONG time to pick up my beer (3+ hours personal record), I budgeted plenty of time . Picked up my beer in only 20 minutes , a new personal record for this brewery. This gives me extra time to have a late lunch at one of my favorite restaurants , the student prince . Alas , no beers but a gorgeous bier hall and German comfort food . And, added time to answer your question

    Some answers to help all

    Hint 2, 3,& 6- are both true for you and my target

    Hint5- focus on my latitude and my targets latitude

    The latitude of my locale is approximately Plymouth Rock 41.96 N, 70.66 west. Rock hill , sc is about as far north as Sc goes but that latitude is 34.92. Coincidentally , the Rock Hill soccer coach Stafford, did coach both of my sons but that was in Massachusetts . Myrtle Beach is 33.69N, 78.87 w. A right angle to me and the western brewers that I will also be shipping from would make an obtuse triangle and not a right triangle.

    me to my target to the western breweries back to me. Not an exact right triangle but pretty darn close

    Hint7- I did not play college soccer against Clemson. I did scout for my college ( Miami university) coach but not when he was at usc- spartansburgI did win an over 4O national soccer championship playing with North Carolina United.

    Hint 9- refers to my targets town

    Hint 10- refers to my targets surname

    In a word “No”, but I am verbose

    Your call out will help my target with their clues...now, where are my yellow and red cards...?

    HUGE fan of the Student Prince. Day drinking at that bar while enjoying a pretzel or some wurste is not to be under estimated.

    I encountered this Canadian quota business while camping outside of Port Angeles a couple years ago with my whole family, and picking up a mostly classic rock station from somewhere in BC. While whenever Rush did play my brother and eye would pretend we were taking part in a drinking game, it was mostly either something kinda bland and derivative from a Canadian artist we'd never heard of, or something that didn't really fit the classic rock format so well, like Glass Tiger, a band I mainly remember as a mid 80s pop outfit.

    I have a feeling you're not shipping to Washington because @BBThunderbolt would probably be all over a racing hint by now.

    Totally got zinged here!!

    There’s a Margaritaville Latitudes planned community in Hilton Head (the only other ones for now are in FL, which is ruled out by #3)

    My delivery address is 7 miles from USC-Aiken, plus there’s a large youth tourney here every (non-plague) year.

    oof.

    Well, Vancouver B.C. used to have a yearly street race, so it's possible he flew into Sea-Tac. Portland used to have a race, and I'm trying to remember if Seattle International hosted one to make it a 3-race swing. You, @kemoarps , and I are still alive in this.

    EDIT: Seattle does not appear on the wiki list: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Champ_Car_circuits , but he could have flown into SEA for either PDX or VAN races.

    Between where I currently live, and where I'm from (the shores of Lake Ontario) I'm very familiar with this rule. In Rochester we'd get a lot of Canadian bands that got U.S. airplay playing in town.

    We all might as well go for a soda:

    Hint #18: The scene in Hint #17 is from Max Max: Fury Road. Which is a visual elaboration of my Hint #9.

    I'm concerned about the possibility that this hint is an indication of a mutant guitarist with a flamethrower being in our BIF. Especially if that person turns out to be my sender. If s/he is, it's probably just as well I quit smoking. The stuff they send could be flammable.

    Similarly, my Hint #16, a photo of Meadow Soprano, was meant as a visual elaboration of another earlier hint.

    Hint time: #1: I am, per usual, shipping south and east.
    #2 - My targets state touches a large body of water.
    #3 - I have been in my targets county, and I am trying to remember if I've been in her/his town.
    #4 - My targets town was/is home to a minimum of 1 Olympic Gold Medal winner.
    #5 - My target lives in one of the below states.
    #6 - A product and a service that the vast majority of us have used also calls my targets city home.
    #7 - If the Interstate Highway closest to you is I-"Number Tony Stewart had his first few years in NASCARs top Division", you are not my target.
    #8 - There is no Big 10 school in my targets state.
    #9 - There is no Big 12 school in my targets state.
    #10 - At least 1 piece of swag I send will be totally useless to my target.
    #11 - The King of The outlaws, Steve Kinser, has won at least 1 race in my targets state, and that was at a track that might might surprise some folks.
    #12 - My target lives East of the Mississippi River.

    Oooh... that's a good one.
    Similar in reflection to you, I'm pretty sure I know who your target is. And similarly feel like I'm layingit out pretty clear, ha.
    Also Fury Road was a fucking great movie.

    Yes. Glass Tiger, Platinum Blond, Men Without Hats and other similar ‘classic rock’ luminaries are regular friends on ‘classic rock’ radio....

    I wouldn’t say that. I do know all the lyrics to both Go for a Soda and Patio Lanterns. I can even pick a Max Webster ‘hit’ out from a hundred yards.
