    Box landed today and there is a notification card at my targets place telling them where to pick up their box! Same thing here re: a note so if you get box with Kevin on the retun address its from me.
    Some hints on where it finally landed

    - The central and oldest part of this city shares the same last name as a famous hockey player who use to play for the St. Louis Blues

    - This famous hockey player while Canadian chose to play for the United States, and is therefore considered by most to be American

    Oh man, I had one of those as a kid. So awesome. We used to tie it behind my dad's car and go through parking lots!

    Hope they're mostly new to you. I went for stuff that I love ...except for that Phillips. ;-) Kinda fun though and many people don't seem to hate it like me. :stuck_out_tongue:

    Cheers!!

    My box is now in the city of my target. My target should receive it Monday (or maybe tomorrow).

    Last hint (I hope this one isn't too easy): My target's civic address number is the same as a telephone area code somewhere in my province.

    I still haven't figured who is sending me a box. Seeing some of the box received already, I'm excited to get mine!

    My box has made it to the postal hub of Mississauga, my target is actually closer to my house then the box at the moment. It won't need to backtrack very far though:wink:

    My box has hit the east coast, but needs to backtrack now. Expected delivery now says Oct 1st.

    Still 3 open slots in my box :grimacing:!

    It'll go out tomorrow or Monday. Tough target, every time I think of a good beer to send I see he's already ticked it! Mostly Canadian box somehow.

    I guess due to a large power outage in Memphis, Fedex shipments were delayed on Friday. Sooooo, for my last hint... Someone who hasn't received their box yet will get it on Monday.... :slight_smile:

    Drop my package at the post office. I had to ditch the styro shipper since I couldn't fit all I wanted (crossing my fingers that nothing breaks down during transit...). Somebody is going to get 42 pounds of mostly local beers by Thursday.

    I also got a card saying that a package is waiting for meat the post office. I'll have to stop tomorrow after work to pick up the package.

    42lbs? I almost hope I don't get that monster, I'd need help carrying it to the car.
