Ski hills should hire me...

Os: What a great weekend! Two long rehearsals on Saturday, with equipment load-ins/load-outs by myself, all at the same facility where I almost snapped my leg in half two years ago, and where I ran into that guy's truck last year. The music is great, and it should be enjoyable. And hey, it could be worse...

Maybe rehearsal will get canceled?
May your luck change this year, if you do indeed have rehearsals. :)

Unfortunately, cancellation is not an option. We scheduled this double rehearsal so that the out of town people could be there (not on a weekday), because we're using a larger-than-usual orchestra this time. These would be the same people who won't be able to get here due to the "emergency travel only" restrictions that are inevitably going to go into effect tonight...
