the final stipulation of business I cited before I would sign any agreement for employment in January was ,
" oh. aside from those weeks of vacation, I am in a group which goes in our jeeps to very remote locations once a month. These trips have been scheduled a year out so ...I am already booked on the following Fridays thru this coming year. I will give you list of dates for each year in a similar manner."  then I provide them our Fridays b4 trips dates.

maybe tell your company for next year if it'd work?

The weather is the bigger factor for me. The good thing is our hobby makes it fairly easy to avoid close contact. I just won’t take any passengers this trip

do I dare mention it further?
Since you did , Travis , I will back that up (on the weather aspect) since , we all know if it rains all this week like it's doin now , what our conditions'll be like. I told my uhaul guy ystrdy the trailer is reserved for Thursday-Sun but if if rains , I'll bck out.

the scenario of our defacto ,awesome helping of each other during a recovery could have opposite effect w all this going on , if the situation were to require pulin line or getting someone outta somethin..

I say this well aware tht I NEED & want a few days of crawl as bad as any of us.
playin it by ear

Based on the rain that has fallen and the forecast, it pains me to say it, but I'm out.  I have zero interest in a mud fest and I think that's what it will be.  For those that soldier on, I hope conditions are better than my yard leads me to believe.  Have fun and be safe!!

Due to the virus, Sherry's gpa will not be going for sure. Sherry is also wanting to back out because she doesn't want to chance bringing the virus back home to her gpa. So, to err on the side of caution we will most likely not be going.
