I think this might be a great topic to dig into in the next zoom meeting for a few minutes Matt as many folks may benefit from it.

Denali is my goal for 2022 and has been on my list for 20+ years and keeping that focus works most of the time. However, it still seems a long way off ……
Any tips, tricks etc gratefully received!
