    2. We have shipped each other beer.
    3. Your name doesn't rhyme with bro-gap.
    4. My zip > your zip

    Happy to take the bait @y2kawakami :slight_smile:

    Hmmm.....down to a small handful of possible senders. None of which are jumping out, calling my name with the hints. But I also cant cross them off my list. So, for the hell of it, since he says he is shipping soon, @Eziel, are you my sender??
