God's Laws vs. the laws of men

Twelve lunar months, each having 4 sabbaths, do not make 1 year. A lunar month (or synodic month) averages 29.53 days (29 days, 12 hours, and 44 minutes) to go from one new moon to the next at 348days plus another 7 plus another 44 min times 12=8.8 hours. and 355 days plus that. (ref google) The sabbath is every seven days. so what are the rest called? Pretty soon the seventh day (we will call that saturday) no longer is a "sabbath". On top of that there are other holy days(holidays for those of you in Rio Linda ;-){thanks Rush} ) that confuse the Hallmark calendar makers.

Label me a heretic all you want, but I reached a personal compromise with Yah.
For business reasons we have chosen to temporarily hold our Shabbat on Sunday.
But wait, it gets worse.
Being in the trucking industry, weekends are often just an illusion. I do get more Sundays off than any other day, so there is that.
I do honor the day in not spending any money, even to the extent of not getting that free coffee refill, because it required someone to make it.

I do believe that the time will come when Yah requires us to go all-in on the day that He chooses, and I am prepared make the sacrifices that will be required.
Ok, so I’m coming in a bit late here, but the mosaic law had specifically included rules for if you could not take the Sabbath on schedule, ie traveling. Given that the Jerusalem council limited the requirements of gentiles to specific categories and most of us are gentiles. I’m pretty sure it’s fine for you to take the sabbath late, but please make time to take it.

You're thinking of the Pesache Seder. The Torah allows for a late observation of the Pesache (Passover) meal (the Last Supper) if one is traveling. However the Torah does command that the traveler cease from travel to observe the Sabbath. The weekly Sabbath is not flexible.
