    @$%(^$&% I did it again and switched up @PA-Michigander and @RayOhioFelton in my brain.... I think I need to meet one or both of you in person (and not at the same time) so I can keep it straight.

    Last time I tried to change my guess on a LIF like this Ray gave me what for (see: p406).

    Wanna talk about "unpleasant surprises"? Ok lets discuss this box I got from @Houser this morning...

    With @Mipper joining recently and this 'development' (and @lurpy1 coming to PA) you might think it a nefarious plot of mine... but quite honestly, the more guys in PA the less you'll all want to trade with me, so it wouldn't be in my best interest anyway! (At the end of the day it really just doesn't matter to me either way, the more the merrier)

    Funny you say that, there's a small box landing in the south tomorrow to someone who is definitely not MY 444th target.

    In other news, my 444th box will be landing tomorrow as well.

    We might have a winner... although @zekeman17's is pretty strong too. I do not envy the position of deciding on a winner for this one.

    Just for my own reference, what did you do to piss him off?
    He knows where I live, I don't want to duplicate your mistake.

    I am ok with being confused with him actually he is a solid dude. I'm going to be pulling off the highway in his neck of the woods potentially to watch the Americans put a beating on Belgium. Or so I hope!

    Ya I'm a dick like that sometimes...this time I will not give you crap...you are solid bro and I enjoy your banter. I think I might have to meet up with Nick in the least creepy way possible.

    I'd have some big problems if I didn't enjoy banter, so I'm glad. Enjoy your wings and beer with your doppelganger.

    That's my submission into your LIF that I'm picking the winner for. I hope I win.

    I'll just make the box bigger. I'm not shipping two boxes to you. That is of course IF you win the LIF that you are judging.

    Heady Topper question for those of you who trek up there from now and then.
    My Parents are heading up there for a short vacation in a few weeks. Does HT sit
    around at all, or do you pretty much have to be at a place that gets it on the day they get it?
    If they can grab me some off a shelf, great, but I don't want them schlepping around during
    their vacation hunting for beer for me.

    I think it gets bought up pretty quickly. I was at the Beverage Baron in Barre last Monday and I got there around 4 pm. They get their deliveries between 1 and 3, and they said I was lucky to get some because the delivery was a little late that day. They said there were like 20 people in line waiting for the delivery and there had already been 70 people in before me! On the upside, the Alchemist website posts which days they deliver and where, so they can at least look at that instead of running around.

    Yeah, hesitant to do that. My Dad is the kind of guy who would go a little nuts to find it, even if it took away from vacation time (and pissed my Mom off). If it was something that I could just ask him to keep an eye out for, it would be ok, but if he sees it as a challenge, look out.

    I did get one hell of a LIF box from @BuckTuckian on Friday. I was out of town so couldn't post pron and I'm still having trouble getting around. That being said, my porch was blown up, lots of bowling swag from the tourney as well. Can't wait to break into these, super excited about the Gose Gone Wild. Not pictured is a 64 ounce growler of Against the Grain The Brown Noise. Thank you man, this box is awesome!

    Soooo many ups and downs today.

    Upside. Bif in a box made my new porch a pile of rubble. That bitch is like 20lbs of tape. Will post pron later tonight.

    Down- fed ex is fucking stupid. They sent the damn 444 box I dropped off Saturday morning. And what do I find this afternoon.... The damn box back at my house. Needless to say a couple corporate phone calls and 3 hours later the box is headed to my CA target. I apologize if the box is a little late but I plan a follow up ninja box to make up for it.

    FWIW, The Growler is Against the Grain Brown Note. Hopefully it's not too shitty. Seemed apprapo for my bowling and a bomber was $8. 64 oz growler $10. Whatever....
    Sounds like I shoulda sent ibuprofen or an Asian massage lady....
    Feel better Ryan and Cheers! !
