Interesting fact: Bill Gates was 20 years old when he started Microsoft (actually his 2nd company) , Steve Jobs was 22, Elon Musk was 12, and Mark Zuckerburg was 19. I also think if you were to poll many of us on here, you would find we were all young when we started our businesses.... So is Age the real factor? Or change in general and not wanting to see a new business plan?
If you own a business, change is always the biggest challenge. The status quo is generally what takes a business out over time. If you are not willing to change and move with the market, you become stale and it is only a matter of time. Look at the Corp 100 from 50 years ago and today. There is VERY few that have survived, and I think it is fair to say, none are the same structure they were in the beginning and now today!

Either way I really do not have a opinion good or bad, doesn't effect me in any way. Not worried about it. Like you say, the only "constant" is change.

Sorry I don`t know every launch at LOTO.. it`s confusing as hell and I`ve only been there for the cig run and maybe a handful of times beyond that.
Can you google launch ramps?
I used the public one for the first time last year.

You stated you were in a bind, there is numerous private ramps between the resorts, condos and other marinas. (They usually charge a nominal fee) But if you are looking for a regular public launch, there is only a handfull ran by the state.
I am only saying, you shouldn't expect a private ramp to be open arms, to person who just feels they have a "favor" coming.

Between the dam and mm21, I believe Shawnee Bend access at
the 10mm ( right by Ozark BBQ) is it…. the only other one relatively close is
PB2 in the State park in the GG arm

I hope you don't take financial advise from any politician. I don't know you other than from this board but you seem to be quite successful, I'm sure it didn't come overnight and without pain and hard lessons. Those who are out building and being successful have been at it for a while too.
