    Let's just say that I am in eager anticipation of ticking a new state! One of the fringe benefits of herding you kittens is getting to choose my sender. :wink: Incidentally, Lehigh changed most of the pairings that I had come up with, there were 3 I was married to: mine, yours, and my target from last time. I paired him with my sender from last time.:stuck_out_tongue::grimacing:

    I didn't think the 35's were out in use yet. The Marines are still having issues getting their variant up to speed.

    I didn't actually tell, just hinted about telling.

    If you go to this WA State Park: http://parks.state.wa.us/497/Deception-Pass , you can sit on the beach and watch 'em come and go. I promise you, those 18's do not whisper. Some locals actually complained because they were so much louder than the EA-6s. YMMV.

    I've been let down by their hoppy stuff too many times...especially recently. The stouts I will occasionally pick up though.

    I wonder if that's due to pilots in those squadrons, formerly limited to the performance of an EA-6, coming in excessively hot. I'd probably do that in their position. I know my old man steps on the throttle of his GTO a lot more than he does in his Honda Fit!

    Yeah, I think your right. Still F16's. I figured the change in flight was due to the new aircraft. Base in VT selected, but they are getting some push back.

    Hint #something - My target lives in a town that sits at less than 1320 feet of elevation.

    My target will receive one or possibly both beers posted in NBS today. :wink: My last vague clue isn't so vague now that I've given it more thought.

    As being a former Grafton county resident I can attest to the A-10's that used to fly directly over my house on practice runs just over the tree tops. Now residing in Merrimack county I only have to deal with the noise from the foul weather approach routes to the MHT Airport. I was kind of amazed to find Alpine Pure Hoppiness in fresh bottles a local bottle shop this morning NH is finally getting a little better in the beer selection. And for added info I'll be headed to Night Shift on Friday to pick up a few things for my LIF box.

    Been reviewing the hints today, and eliminated quite a few folks. Still not sure about my sender...

    Not trying to spoil anything, but, your sender resides in a state whose name contains letters.

    I've narrowed it down to six possibilities at this point.

    Hint: My target may be a fan of a sports team that has been the subject of some recent controversy.

    Or they may not.

    Vague enough, not sure if it would apply around here. Still can't count you out, yet. Though the list is getting shorter every day (I'm at 8). Also, I am still trusting there is no chicanery going on at this point :slight_smile:.

    This attitude is what we rely on. "We" being the sneaky beer ninjas.

    My first spoiler: My target will receive beer from 2 breweries that just started to distribute out of state. One of which used the slogan "Michigan Only, Michigan Forever" as part of their marketing campaign.

    Hint #7
    What a coincidence...
    My target lives North of I-70, and East of I-29 also.

    Three spoilers and/or pertinent bits of information:

    #1- smoke 'em if you got 'em!

    #2- The shopping is done and I plan on packing up the box tonight.

    #3- when it's packed I will let loose my final clue, which should seal the deal as to who my target is.
