I'm still here, waiting for my bone graft to complete. We have my
mothers affairs taken care of, we just have to pick several local
families to sponsor for Christmas. That will be a annual affair, early
on when I was pre school we were the sponsored family, so this is pay
back time. The younger of the seven of us doesn't seem to remember
those day's but the 4 oldest do, so we made it the family mission.
There was a little more than we expected so we decided we were all doing
pretty good and to help someone else for a change.
I want 2014 to be a better year, we each lost our remaining parent and
several close friend, some younger than we are, so we are retiring in
2014, partial May 17 and complete August 24! Then we can travel the
country in search of trout in our camper for several years.
I am up for a swap this winter.
And Don you are a prime example of how to treat diabetes, exercise and
diet, it is the one disease that medication alone can't take care of.
Just think, by next season you will be peak for some remote fishing. I
had a close brush with it 2 years ago and always walk every day.

VFB Roll Call... Who’s still here?
And let us know how you are doing if you feel like it.
I’ll start. Got my diabetes on the run. Off insulin now (un-officially)
and my BG readings are still all normal. Exercise and diet have been the
key for me. Up to a mile on the treadmill now- walking, jogging, and
wind-sprinting up to 6 mph so far with incline. Two months ago a 5 min.
/2 mph/ /level walk/ pooped me out. My BP is now normal after the
workout and after the cool-down. Have lost 45 pounds so far (less of me
to love). Who-hoo!
Anyone interested in *fly swaps* now that winter is here? Something
with ice-dubbing? or polar bear?
