Rum-runner. :p

Alrighty, new host is established and the database is migrated, but I have actual work to do before I can get everything else running. Stupid work, always getting in the way of fun. :rolleyes:

Why does it need to be chilled?

Yep, Texas is one of the fine states that will allow the shipping of wine. ^

man was driving down the road and ran out of gas. Just at that moment, a bee flew in his window.
The bee said, 'What seems to be the problem?'
'I'm out of gas,' the man replied.
The bee told the man to wait right there and flew away. Minutes later, the man watched as an entire swarm of bees flew to his car and into his gas tank. After a few minutes, the bees flew out.

'Try it now,' said one bee.

The man turned the ignition key and the car started right up. 'Wow!' the man exclaimed, 'what did you put in my gas tank'?

The bee answered,























BP



I see you smiling.......

That's good to know.

On CO50 with ATCDLY. Will get there as soon as I can. One wheels-up time they gave us was 5:15... Now it is 3:25. Let's hope it stays near that one!

Do you hunt anteater, alpaca, or three-toed sloth down there? I hear the sloths are easiest to catch.

I prefer Grilled Tapir.

No need to even bother with DHL. Just add the 4 50# boxes to the regular moving collection. Not perfect, but also probably not going to ruin the wine.

Baird's tapir goes best with some fennel and a bit of lemon juice.

Wine + heat for an extended period of times = bad.

I've tried to trim down the collection as much as I could, but I think it's still going to come down to moving about 40 of the bottles.

I have styrofoam cartons/boxes made for wine bottles, but only enough to hold about 25 bottles. I'd feel comfortable shipping in those because if you chill them before packing they are often still cool when they arrive (assuming overnight or 2-day shipping). I may just have to go with a cooler for the rest of the bottles.
