    I just spent way too much time trying to figure this out and apparently screwed up somewhere along the way...

    I guessed an average of 3hr, 180min/26 =7mph *114 -- about 800miles away

    Yup, answer is that it is 90% complete - just working on permissions.

    Looks like your mph calculation is off, that is minutes/mile.

    Well now I know how some of you feel with the terrible winter weather. Schools closed, roads are treacherous, businesses shut down, flights cancelled, public transportation non-existent. Grocery stores running out of food. End of days type of shit here folks.

    And I just had my lawn scalped too. Can I borrow someone's snowblower?

    I think you did your math wrong to get mph; should be 26.1mi/3hr = 8.7mph. 8.7*114 = 991.

    edit: @ajaylock beat me to it but at least I added the correct math :slight_smile:

    It's a beautiful day today out here in CA! On my way to San Jose with shorts and a t-shirt on.
    Apologies to those of you on the east coast who are less fortunate

    Math is looking good, however, I will refrain comment on the inputs to the equation.

    Whoops, I was thinking of the sticker on my coworker's car and forgot that it's a 13.1 sticker for the half marathon she did. I know also that your fastest time was <3hr, but for the sake of how far your target is, neither of these will affect it much; 7 vs 8.7 mph will make a pretty big difference though.

    So, the snow in KY finally let up and the roads are clearer. I returned home from work to find 2 boxes, one of olive oil and one of snow globes......Even though they sat in cold much longer than normal (damn Fedex lost tracking on both packages for 2 days), only 2 wounded soldiers. I added them to the picture anyway and since there was some beer left in each bottle I will be consuming them tonight. These boxes were courtesy of @Kylo76 (left 4) and @Vinithing (right 4). Thanks a ton fellas.

    150oz+ Box being picked up tomorrow, hopefully getting delivered by Friday to one of the top 10 most populated cities in USA. Used to have my favorite NFL team ( besides the Eagles of course) but they moved.

    Well I believe this narrows it down to Houston. Hmmm.

    Hint #5 (I think???) : 4 of the numbers in your zip code appear in your phone number -- at least one of them appears twice

    Edit this is probably my last "target" hint -- as I said before I'm going to be shipping close to the end of the window for this one, so I don't want to give it away too much and then have a huge gap. I may throw a couple content hints as I get stuff for the box

    Are you near Dallas? My division is having its annual leadership meeting at the DFW Hyatt, which I somehow escaped attending this year. most of my co workers were stuck in various airports all day trying to figure out how to get to DFW.

    #VBS. This is fantastic. I'm glad I decided to go through with purchasing some. I'd love to side by side this with BCBBW just to see which I like more (something I can do... but won't on my own lol)

    I am in Dallas. And fucking karma of making fun of it- power just went out.

    It's pretty bad here actually, we get straight up ice and don't have the resources (snow tires, plows, common sense, etc) to deal with it. Cancelled 1000 flights. They're screwed.
