    They only explode for non-believers. L

    LOL! That'd actually be a fuckin riot. But alas, tis not the case, I did have one explode on me, fortunately before the box was in FedEx's hands.

    I will also say that Tired Hands MORE than made up for it. As if I wasn't already, that sealed it for me as a customer for life.

    By the way, the box wasn't a perfect representation but I too was trained in the Elting school of beer box packaging. Patrick uses shrink wrap and electrical tape around the caps and I'm pretty sure he doesn't pack boxes with old red chair covers.

    I should do a YouTube video on beer packing.

    Yeah you should! The amount of likes on BA would set a record!

    The shrink wrap was new to me and a great way to pack! Part of Patrick's packing is on the way to my target, with the inclusion of a 3rd box! Triple packed! That will be my pack motto.

    Shrink wrap is the key to a good beer cocoon.

    Killer box @Yourahoser! And welcome to the BIF world Mike! I think you'll like a lot of these... Definitely will have to figure out a bottle share once my box lands later this week... I cheat and have FedEx shipping notifications... Texas bomb scheduled for Friday!

    Had that FB Sweet Potato Casserole tonight. Interesting, in a good way! My wife, who hates beer, I mean HATES it, said it was the best beer she has had and would like more. Little did she know it's from Florida.

    @RuckIt Well since you are a cheating Masshole let me just say....You're body isn't ready for the contents of that box. It's gonna shine like the briefcase from Pulp Fiction when you open that fucker. :grinning: :grinning: :grinning:

    lol can't wait! In all fairness though, you did leave me so e pretty blatant hints... North Austin to Location X is 1950 miles? I'm 1946... Close enough?

    In other news, Thursday delivery is all but confirmed for my target. Had to split it into 2 boxes, but I think they'll stay safe with the buddy system since I shipped them together.

    I'm pretty sure I identified my shipped a few weeks back. Since then I have avoided going back and looking at all the content hints. Tonight I decided the boxes will be here tomorrow so it would hurt to take a quick look. Now I'm even more excited to get home and open them up tomorrow.

    Thanks. Nothing super rare or hard to acquire but a nice selection of what the Sunshine State can offer. Was pissed when Cycle released Pallet 3 and 4 after my first trip there (2 hour trip for me).

    Thanks @RuckIt ! I'm definitely down for some sharing and tasting once your box arrives- can't wait to see what shows up from TX!
