    I did the same, really. I took my original box, a ton of packing foam and cardboard, and plopped it into a bigger box. It didn't eliminate it, but it definitely helped - and I'm obviously far less worried about breakage now, too.

    As a side benefit, that gave me room to toss in 12 cans and glassware, so now anything else I find for my target can just go in (a) standard 2-day priority box(es). :grinning:

    The slug wasn't the focal component of that hint. It was the plant (and the state that is home to the plant).

    With no real basis to do so other than a gut feeling, I'm calling you out, sir.

    Let’s see if hint 7 helps you confirm that.

    Hint 7: My target has rated more than twice as many beer from one of my favorite breweries in their state. Funny enough I just happen to be wearing a shirt from the brewery today!

    Time to go back through some of the confirmed senders so I can rule myself out. I still haven't figured out my sender.

    In the mean time: normally I put my boxes in the front seat. Well .....

    Unfortunately, USPS was closed, so I'll be shipping Monday. I'll make sure it arrives Saturday at the latest.

    Is this the first official call-out? And successful, at that?

    It is an official call out, AND I AM HOPEFUL THAT IT IS SUCCESSFUL!!!

    Premature speculation can be very embarrassing.

    More call outs, please. They’re the only way I can eliminate potential senders.

    Hi guys! i haven't been on a machine much the past 10 days or so, and I've fallen behind (again). I've got 2 LIF boxes that will get sent out after payday at the end of the week, and at least a first strike box will hit my target in time.

    Speaking of my target, here's hints 3 wutever: I have shipped tp my targets state in previous rounds of this BIF.

    And.

    The MLB team in my targets state has not won a World Series this Millennium, but has appeared in at least one.

    One of the reasons I've fallen behind is that the theatre I work at held multiple showing of the Rocky Horror Picture Show. So, now, after seeing it 6 times in the last week, I've got those somgs stuck in my head. Here, have this:

    Assuming "team" is definitely singular, pretty sure I've nailed your target. But hey, I love baseball. :slight_smile:

    Okay, final FINAL hint (since I shipped a box to my target today that will arrive in his state that is on a coast south and east of me on Monday - heads up!) .....



    And a haul hint, this will be included in the boxes that ship along with swag next week after a trip to Chicago that will yield multiple beers for my target along with this juicy old school DIPA that I am enjoying on a chilly evening in NORTHern (another hint for my target - I am too kind) Indiana .....

    Shipping on a Monday from Ga arriving on a Sat, I’m guessing it’s heading west and it’s a long air ride. I’m kinda in and out with work, so I’ve no idea if your target knows.

    I’m shipping on Mon too because it’s hard to find swag here, and my boxes will take half the time to get to my target as yours.

    All possible targets (save my target) were eliminated within the first three hints (albeit .... somewhat accidentally on my part lol). Every subsequent hint was just to help out. So, my target may or may not know, but no one else should be left in the dark. :slight_smile:

    And yeah, I'm not anticipating it arriving earlier than Friday. It's a bit of a haul. :slight_smile:

    Your a 6 working day ship at least unless it’s expedited. I’m shipping out your LIF box on Monday as well.

    Oh, BTW, myself and few friends have birthdays within about a 12-14 day window, and we're having our nearly annual bottleshare on 11/24. Y'all are invited. Alaska Air flies right into bellingham, and we have over a dozen breweries. C'mon by!
