    In honor of your attempt of losing weight @PG2G I'm having a bomber and house made garlic noodles with bacon wrapped shrimp. This hoppy goodness is brought to you by your friendly neighborhood @lefty17

    83 beers in two weeks Adam. You had better start hitting up some breweries and doing flights!

    Damn Martin, you're testing people! Go greedy and hope for a CC or support you and hope for a good box...

    You know where my guess will be!

    12.2 lbs (since @Dave_Treat will probably go with 11.1) for 205.6 lbs. Good Luck! (Hopefully your porch avoids any wayward cheescake or crab chip bombs... we do have some deviants in here...!)

    I dropped my two boxes off at a never-before-visited Fedex location this morning. I'm a little apprehensive. First the woman working there told me (in a difficult-to-understand accent) that next time she wouldn't take boxes like mine. I finally figured out that it wasnt the size or shape or tape (or even perceived contents), it was that she considered them "end of life". They WERE in pretty bad shape I guess (the sixterhood is on about it's 20th trip), but I've sent and received worse. If push comes to shove, I think the sixterhood would need to be kept in the existing box (with decorations) and placed inside another box.

    Anyway, she said she would take them this time now and walked away, so I asked her to scan them (which she did). But then she just left them on the counter -- I'm guessing/hoping a coworker (whoever is responsible for carrying them from the counter to the shelf) was just running a little late. She also said they will get picked up at 6PM today (10.5 hours after dropoff), but I think Fedex usually says that and it often ends up being earlier.

    So HOPEFULLY one box gets delivered tomorrow and one on Wednesday, but I don't have details yet.

    Eh, my FedEx only has one pickup time the whole day and it's at 6pm. I've been told that I could get there at 5am and it wouldn't help my package get anywhere faster than if I got there at 5:30pm. I wouldn't worry about that.

    Yeah even my great FedEx guys says it's a liability thing when boxes get in rough condition so they'll reach a poitn where they won't take them or make you sign a waiver saying yuo won't make ANY claim against the package. More to protect themselves. Also even most FedEx/Kinko's branded locations only have a single GROUND pickup time so I wouldn't be too concerned with the 6pm pickup. The easiest way to tell is to go to Fedex.com and look at the location (I'm sure you're aware of this) Most likely that location is either A near a FedEx office or B near the distro center which is why a mom and pop is getting picked up so late.

    Enjoy Mike! If it makes you feel any better, the St. Lam was procured with some Local beer. If not, feel free to send it back in exchange for some Oberon. The tags did get wet during the fill and probably continued to get soggy due to condensation. Let me know if you like them.

    Thought I'd put this up here since I know a few of you love football and are degenerate gamblers like myself. Let me know if you'd be interested in joining my confidence pool. Shoot me a BM if interested.
