If the USPS doesn't send it to Alaska or something I should have it by this weekend

I guess I should have known I would end up with a mushroom farm.

Bad enough. I'll probably try to clean it, it's a shame because the rest of the lens is beautiful. It seems to be behind the front element so probably just some loss of contrast. Now where did I put the JIS screw drivers...
