    Haul Hint
    I just reviewed an interesting new Whiskey BA Quad from the Bruery. My target, and maybe somebody else will be seeing this soon.

    You have proven, over multiple BIFs, that you get the point. If, perchance, your target isn't as involved as he should be, do not feel obligated to wreck her. Send the minimums. No more. Run a LIF, do a raffle, wutever. Distribute the beer your target woulda got as you see fit.

    I hate that we've gotten here, but we have.

    If your targets target isn't satisfied, I'll deal with that.

    This is really why you should pack to survive a six-foot drop, not the crap reason they give about the miles of conveyor lines your package will travel in the sorting centers.

    While I tend to send out 1 to 2 ninja boxes Each NBS BIF, I won’t be home until Monday. So I will have to count myself out of this one.

    I am a fan of this approach, more than changing the minimum requirements or anything.

    I don’t know that anyone has been disappointed by the amount of beer they have received through this BIF, just the level of participation by some people.

    I did put him on my excluded list because his first hint was about his target liking funk. I do, but it's not something I go wild over.

    Maybe I excluded him too early.

    Not having my spreadsheet with me is driving me crazy! Even without it, however, I have probably 6 to 10 different possible senders right now. Not yet ready to make a second guess. :wink:

    My target somehow has not called me out yet, either, but I am not sure if there are any more hints I can really give. I have kind of given it away already.

    I think next round I will go with themed hints. Nothing as devilish as Corey’s Bond hints; those were wild!

    Hint #1 - North of my present location (In south TX when I posted #1).
    Hint #2 - South of Nuuk.
    Hint #3 – On my recent beer run to TX, we returned driving just north of Sam Clemens birthplace, which is west of my target’s habitation.
    Hint #4, revised. My target resides within (approximately) two kilometers (using Google Maps) of a major North American waterway that is used for transportation in excess of 40 million tons of goods annually. Depending on intervening buildings, he/she may be able to see the waterway or a connector from his/her residence.
    Hint #5- Incorporated into Hint #4, revised.
    Hint # 6 – I have reviewed brews originating less than five miles (even less as an unladen European swallow flies) from my target’s residence, one of which I rated quite highly. Again, distance is based on Google Maps.

    Hint #7 – All the bridges in my target’s area makes me think of John Donne’s metaphor.

    And that should pretty much nail it for most of you.

    I’ll be out of town Sun-Tues, so I may not post a ton of hints. ( but I’ll be hitting Trillium and Tree House during that time)

    My plan has been to ship out two ninja boxes but i don't know when I'm getting to town nearest shipper is 30 miles away and I'm too much of a worrier to ship usps. But there will be two and there's at least a 30 percent chance you were a Target
