To extend or not to extend the ship date!

[ALIBI]

As said before, I would agree that the only time FIRST should extend is when the shipping company can not pick up the crate on the 20th (this year anyway) and then that should only be for the affected areas. We here in West Michigan are not permitted to meet when the school cancels activites. We even had several days where we had school, but after school activites were canceled, go figure. Anyway, we have lost seven or eight days so far during the last three and 1/2 weeks of the build. Everyone works a little harder and we should be able to ship OK. The electrical/mechanical teams hope to wrap up Saturday AM giving the programers and drivers the weekend and monday to tweek and practice. We have been know to ship a box of parts to our first regional and have actually still done quite well. The biggest slow down we had this week was trying to get overnight parts out of Indiana, hopefully FEDex will be good to us today or tommorrow.
