One was 7 lb 6 oz and the other was 7 lb 9 oz.

We got a lot of wind last week so it was slow on bass, AG we made a living on the crappie at night though

We used to fish Toledo using an old roadmap made before the lake was formed. That's how we'd get back to the hot beds we found. All the trees were still in place back then. It was a forest in a lake with roadways. This was over 50 years ago, of course.

Just got some test results back. I gotta find some cholesterol friendly recipes. Lemme know what anyone has please! Oysters look promising, but shrimp, Steak, sausage, and lobster are frowned on.

Boston, it seemed forever my cholesterol was high; Doc nearly killed me once leaving me on Bayer's recalled Baycol...

Even in my 20s/30s when I was in terrific shape, always had that battle with cholesterol being morbidly high...

SO, I really took the time to educate myself re: fats, HDL, LDL, Trans fats. and here were some of the life-changing things that made a difference for me...

Eliminate/Greatly Reduce Soda Consumption, especially those with artificial sweetners - daily they're still not good for you...
Start consuming high density lipids; I eat a lot of honey roasted sunflower seeds, use extra virgin light olive oil or avocado oil...
While I like spicy food, don't like pungent jalepenos, but I do eat a lot of avocados in salads, soups, or in pasta; avocados are cholesterol reducers...
Organic Peanut Butter, even Org PB Cookies (in moderation); ever take tape to reduce adhesive glue from CD/DVD cases? That's how HDL can clear up LDL, Cholesterol...

Don't forget about your fibre as well...
Find Fruits and Vegetables you really like and double up; Sweet Peas worked wonders for me...
Another thing getting back to sugar, is I now use Demara or Turbinado (Sugar in the Raw); still has some fibre bound to it and is great with Sweet Potatoes...

So while I knew I was going to have a personal struggle reducing caloric intake, I basically substituted things that had high density lipids and fibre that I really enjoy...

Voila', I've been in the normal range (cholesterol) ever since...
