    Lol, yeah I know what you mean. We lived in NY for a while and I will miss it, especially Keegan Ales and Halftimes, but AZ is in me. Figured it may have been the kilt, and I'm glad it wasn't the Odell. It's funny, but I wish I could send one to every American in the US so they could taste the awesomeness of the balance and hop complexity. Enjoy!

    If that's what you're referring to. A few pages later from the start of this thread. I believe there might still be one or 2 left. Also just an FYI theMan starts a new thread for the bottle swap.

    I don't get it. UPS came, but didn't leave me anything. I don't understand.

    Morning time at UPS is reserved for next day air deliveries in most areas. Then business deliveries. Then residential deliveries.

    Maybe your sender paid for the new anti-theft invisibilty cloak so someone doesn't steal it off your porch. Crawl around on your hands and knees and carefully check every area of the porch.......

    Its funny you say that, because i've actually been so jacked up about a package that i've gone to my neighbors stoop and checked if it was my package delivered to the wrong house.

    Its ok, yesterday I was working from home the second half of the day and the doorbell ring, I knew it was my delivery, I was so excited when I opened the door to find it was a delivery, but I was sad when I found it was just golf balls, not a box o beer.

    You guys make me laugh. I feel the same way. I'm anxiously awaiting mine too. I love seeing everyone elses pics though.

    I dropped my package off today at Fed Ex. I have to say, even though I packed that thing to outlast WWIII, I'm still nervous about breakage. The person that gets mine is going to probably think I'm crazy. But, if it makes it there in one piece, I'm comfortable with that.

    The funniest thing is that I had written a long note about what I chose and about 3 seconds after it was sealed up, I realized that I forgot to actually put the note in the F'ing box. Lol.

    Haven't seen a post of it yet, but it shows Jeepguy's box got delivered today.

    Props to Jeepguy! His box broke, and he still got a new one delivered faster than some of you schmuks shipped! lol

    Well I re bought today and will reship by Friday. I apologize to my recipient. I tried to get it to its destination early but apparently I didn't bomb proof the box good enough

    No apologies necessary. Boxes can get broken. As long as you get one to him thats really what matters

    Quite frankly, I'm surprised mine made it ok. With all of the tragedy, I was sure mine was next. I did use a can of great stuff I had lying around; maybe that was the ticket?!
