Don't talk to me about your weather. I'm still getting over our Get Together in January. It was 72° when I left Sacramento that day. When I stepped off the plane in Rochester Minnesota it was -14°. I felt like I was flash frozen. I was lucky in that I saved my fingertips, toes, and nose. My ass wasn't quite as lucky because it froze off.
I'm thinking another Get Together is in order. Maybe several days, on a lake, in another state, with fishing rods being mandatory. Missouri in the spring or fall sounds good.
If there's any interest, perhaps we can start a new thread and start talking about it.
