Morning Meanderings…. The Crocodile Hunter Meets the Arrival Of The First BEA Box!

Good Morning ! 

*sips coffee… slowly.. stalling…*

Ok.

So – the good news is my first box arrived from BEA yesterday afternoon.  Super SQQQUUUEEEEE’s heard throughout Brainerd Minnesota. 

And uhhhh… the bad news, or perhaps I should say super geeky news… is that I had an idea to announce it’s arrival.  Bear with me while you watch the short video:

and as if that wasn’t bad enough…. I did it a second time….

Yup.  I did that.

Anyway…. lets forget about the box.  Let’s talk about what was in the box.  😀
