    So my BIF package from Joe finally arrived. There was no note about damage, the box looked fine (as in dry, no crush/stain) so I don't know if anything was lost.

    Thanks Joe!

    I'd be inclined to say the driver just wanted to cut the route short yesterday, but they delivered another package! Oh well, at least it was a false alarm on the damage. :)

    Dang, that was fast. Delivered yesterday afternoon - hope he got it inside yesterday. Did not think it was going to be delivered that fast - just shot the recipient a PM to make sure he grabs it...

    Crap. Still above freezing here for now but supposed to get down into the 20s tonight. I could drive up there tomorrow and grab it and hold it, but that may be too late?

    Haha! I put those coordinates into google and it came up as the airport right near me. Thought to myself "No way would it be me." Sure enough, I get down from putting the kids to nap and the FedEx truck pulls up in front of my house! Thank you so much Jeremy (and finsfan I assume), you totally made my day even better! This community is GREAT and so generous. Cannot wait to break into beers that I am completely unfamiliar with!

    Thank you again for making my day great!

    Love the bif (fed) as that is exactly what I think of with this thread!

    Whoa! This was on my front porch when I got home today...outstanding! Thanks so much Dennis! And thanks to all of you folks...this really is a tremendous group of people.
    Are homebrewers that awesome or do awesome people become homebrewers? A little of both I would imagine.
    My first BIF goes out today...first day above freezing in what seems like 6 months!
    Thanks again Dennis!

    You are quite welcome, but we should all be sending thanks to finsfan for keeping this little beer it forward community growing and busy.

    I hope you haven't had any of those beers, they didn't show up on seekabrew for your state. I enjoy them all and I hope you do as well.

    Makes me worry now. I have at least a case on a glass shelf in a newer model fridge. If glass & model year matter at all.

    Should we send bud light lime? :p

    I have one BIF package to get out eventually and a local one for a guy who isn't a member. If that's done and your busy hasn't had a package, I'll send one if funds permit.

    He hasn't responded to my messages but I know he has seen them. He had a family issue so I don't expect him to post on here for a bit

    That is very understandable. Hopefully the BIF gave him a little happiness to cheer him up during the tough times.
