Although not a board member this year, we may as well go with 3 as 2 since
the price is the same either way.

Problem is, I don't know who you're going to find who will haul the little
honey pots out into the middle of the desert like that. (Unless Mitch and
Lori want to make their trailer available.)

Hey Board!
I may have to after all, Rich. Bad news, the guy wants to raise the $250
rate from the AASP to $300 for the AAMM for the weekend, even tho we are the
less moneyed. He says he barely broke even for the AASP and gas went up.
It's the same price for 2 as for 3 portapotties, so I made no 'head'way
there. <gotcha> This development is for the Board to mull over. I don't know
where else to 'go', anyone else have another source? Take a vote or give me
a go-no go from the Board, let me know. As far as weather permitting, I can
cancel up to the Thursday before, in case of inclemency.
