Totally agree about not having a repeat of the 2019 winter/spring weather pattern. It did challenge you to get to our KC Get-Together, and we were exceptionally water-logged in MO much too long!

the impact on us was a matter of inconvenience but friends throughout the affected area tell us that it will take many years to clean up all of the damage .... the sheer size of the affected area is mind blowing

Don't worry about getting older and still doing stupid stuff. You'll do the stupid stuff as always, only much slower. Hold my beer and watch this.......
