    Going to wait until the middle of next week. There are some days early next week that don't reach above freezing.

    My box went out today, should arrive on Friday or Saturday morning, which has the highest low temperature this week at 20F.

    Btw. Here's the nice box from Duffman:

    Nice! Nothing wrong w/ a box of loons (and perhaps 3 of the tastiest ones made today). Looks like LP Kriek '10 is out and about.... :drool:

    Someone whos almost as active in here as me but probably not as crazy has a box sitting at home waiting for them. I hope it doesnt sit outside too long i would hate to see them freeze.

    I just got home from work... I see the wife has brought a box in for me... It's from MA, so I assume it's from this BIF since I had no trades lined up with any MA people.

    Box looks to be in pristine shape-- no damage, no signs of leakage.

    Let me put the kids to sleep and I'll be back to open it up.

    Im slightly insulted you think i would pack the heat in anything less than a pristine package...

    Ok... So the box was from jsilva, which was unexpected. I kinda had the feeling that this BIF was going to end up where my target had me as a target, just one of those hunches. So I hadn't really noticed any clues from John that really fit me...

    Anyway, John broke the rules of this BIF, much like I plan to.
    He sent 4 bottles...

    Here's the group shot;

    Here's the 2011 Mamouche joining her new home with her kin on the 'Rackoloons';

    Here's the Cuvée De Jongleur chilling with my homebrew sour program lead barrel;

    Here are the 2 little guys hanging out with my ukelele (pictured starting in rear and moving counter-clockwise: Fender Koa Nohea Tenor Uke, 2010 Framboise de Amarosa, and batch 5 Sanctification);
    [​IMG]

    All 4 of these bottles are wants, FdA and Sanc are perpetually so.
    The Cuvée de Jongleur is one I got to try 2 years ago today at a tasting and I really liked it-- happy to have another shot at it!
    And mamouche is made by my favorite brewery-- need I say more?!

    Thanks a bunch John!
    I know I'm a tough target to get, so I appreciate the effort you put into this one!
    Cheers

    Edit--
    The packaging was fucking bombproof. This guy needs to write a blog on how to package beer for trades!

    so is this a spoiler?

    I guess it is for Jsilva since I am stating outright I'm not shipping to him... Although I posted a hint that I am shipping to CA.

    as for my hunch:
    I requested my target, and when I did, our host seemed slightly hesitant to agree... I just got this feeling that my target had just requested me or something.
