I could've sworn that El Salvator tick was mine, but now that I look up my countries list (when did that happen?), it's not there.

 

Of course it's our world-travelling @BBThunderbolt:

Bless Mi Rancho ( https://www.miranchomeatmarket.com/). A Mexican meat market/mini-mart/taco stand/bakery ($1 tacos, 8am-8pm, 7 days a week), and random Central American sixers pop up., less than a 10 minute walk from the domicile.

Great folks, family run. Worth visiting North Kiribati just for.

 

Ya know that every town in the U. S. of A. has USPS access, right?

 

I think you missed @superspak

 

Being a bit zombied out after a couple long work days on a couple nights of crappy sleep (and more than a couple beers today), I couldn't figure out how to bring up my countries list. I'm not 100%, but I think I've ticked Cuba.

 

The onus is upon you to find me a square inch of 'Mirka that does not haz a Zippy Coad.

Bucanero! Reviewed (of course) by @BBThunderbolt

 

HA!!!!! Figured it out! And, yes, I haz ticked Cuba, but I cannot recall who gave it to me. I do have a likely suspect though....

Ah Bucanero! It has been about 20 years or so, but I spent many a day drinking Bucanero or Cristal in resort swimming pools. I hadn’t thought about those beers in a very long time.


I need to ask. Cyprus? Did anyone else log a beer from Cyprus? That is my most ‘exotic’ tick I think. My first international trade was with a guy from Cyprus through this website.

 

My apologies to all you great BAs but Ive decided to sit this one out. I have multiple reasons and I just dont have it in my heart right now.
Rock on my friends and I will definitely see you next time...
That being said I may send out a few small Ninja boxes - getting nothing in return if thats cool with everyone.

 

@Ozzylizard has one:

You have five. Yours are about four years younger than his.

 

@Dimidiata definitely said she has too much beer. Hoping that means she's in!

 

I guess if anyone's curious about the specifics for those unique countries...

That one from Malta was fairly nasty, iirc, but it was also free.

 

In your review...

 

I'm more comfortable with Excel, but this particular one was done with Google Sheets. Seems like it can do most anything Excel can, though some of the functionality / workflow is a little different. The big benefit to me for Sheets is the ability to access the same file from anywhere, even having it open in multiple places with (apparently) no conflicts, confusion, or lost work.

Probably using Excel's web-based version with cloud storage would give me similar benefits.
