How much is going to cost to ship all that beer?

13 cases * 24 beers / case * ~12 oz per beer /16 oz per lb = 234 lbs is a hell of a lot of $$$ in shipping! (and I'm ignoring the glass)

kinda makes you wonder how Chile, Argentina, and Australia can sell so much inexpensive wine, doesn't it?

free... military pays for it... your tax money at work right here !!! we have an allowance of 11000lb for household goods... about 9000 actual lb, so the diff, of 2000lb is free... i had to look into the duty regs for CA tho'... 99% sure i ll get away without any duty... if i don t it ll prolly be no more than a quarter per bottle...

Ahhh I see, one of my Dad's friends got a Porshe home like that back in the '60s. Bought it directly from the factory I think.

looks like somewhere in vicinity of grass valley... but i may still spend the year (april - april) living in / around tahoe in a small cabin somewhere... but the though of moving (again) is making me think one move - straight into a house...

Do they ship it in giant casks and bottle it here? Glass is heavy.
i would doubt it. i would think they'd have one factory for filling, labelling and crating, rather than have localized ones at each far-flung market.

You know he's moving to boston before next winter right?

I however will still be here. And I don't mind drinking beer. And I've been in the area longer than he has. And I'm cuter. And my muscles are bigger. And I like drinking beer.

Get in touch son. We've been getting some good snow as of late. I haven't touched a bike in 3 weeks. (that never happens)

He just moved here 2+ years ago. As far as I know he's just moving back to return "home".

Unless it gets stupid warm, check out a spring pass at alpine meadows. Cheap full week pass and alpine is a GREAT place to ski corn.....or snow if it keeps coming that late. It has been known to happen.

Thank the lord you remembered to stock up. I'm sure I, I mean we, will be drinking much of that come July or August, eh?

Grass valley is a little closer to SF than I thought you were going to be. Cool. Have a good move.

And if Ciaran drinks any of that before I have a chance, he's going to find out that his mace has been worthless since about 1312 AD.
