In the last 17 years we only had 2 small delays (summer one time with the infamous greg who had no clue on rules) and when dad died though that was only a month or two.  For me this is a exception to life the election..the shootings...its as much a stress relief for me than anyone else.  This is why I've lasted 17 non stop years (7 adventues).
