pretty much got approval for my leave. been wanting to go on this trip i've been preparing for, for 30+ years.
now it looks like it may be washed out, an ex tropical cyclone is dumping inches of rain all over the place where I want to go.
link textWell that sucks, what's teh trip?
Canning Stock Route - link text
Long drive to get there.
It should have dried out by the time you get there but I imagine that there will be some new corrugations that might pose a problem. -

They offer free Hardware, monthly payments. However Down side is Once you swipe a credit card you're in a contract for 5+ Years per site that swipes a credit card. and they change processing rates once or twice a month and have it in their contract that they can and will change it whenever they feel necessary. They start them out at 1.2% (which is almost illegal processing rate for credit cards) and by the end of the 5 year contract they're paying close 5.6% (also almost illegal)

@WrCombs Something is either illegal or not (not really a gray area), this just means that this company is making the value proposition such that the client will sign up and then get locked in.
Maybe your company should be doing the same thing.

Agreed on the either is or isn't illegal thing.
But damn - I hope that owner knows what the top end charges are and broke out the calculator to see if it was worth while...
It's all a math game.
