I don't hate you, I'm glad you got it. I was thinking hard about it all day, but just couldn't pull the trigger. As you said, it would have been a good Christmas for me, but pretty crappy for the wife and kids. Congratulations.
I put it in my cart lst night at 12:30 Pacific time (9:30 HI time) but was struggling with the shipping to Hawaii so I went to bed. Couldn't sleep so I got back up at 2 my time and it was gone.
It's great that it went to a BN army member. I saw that this afternoon long after you bought and I almost shit a brick when I noticed they cut $3000 off of a 1550.
Happy Brewing!
I think I've had about enough beer tonight...Now I need some Whiskey to sober up
