Re: [VFB] QUOTE FOR THE DAY -Butter?

[Tom Davenport]

I just heard a report on the news about the worst kind of fat... the fat "hidden around your organs near your stomach", the internal fat.  It comes with the highest risk for heart disease. Well, that is the only kind of fat I have, and it isn't hiding itself very well.   The whole thing made me feel so depressed that I did the logical thing... I called Famous Dave's and ordered their "two meat special" which comes with two meat entrees of your choice with three sides.  Nothing gets rid of depression better than slow smoked Beef Brisket and Ribs with corn, baked beans, cornbread and potato salad!  (Famous Dave's brisket is the closest I have found to approach the Brisket that Jeff and Jimmy cooked for us a Sowbug '04.  I never eat it with out thinking of them. ) I don't know about belly fat and heart disease, but I know for sure that it makes it harder to lace my wading shoes.  That alone is a pretty good reason for losing it. Last August when dehydration left me hospitalized and my electrolytes took another month to get back in order, I lost 25 pounds, almost all from the stomach area.  Was I smart enough to keep them off?  Nope. All those pounds have come back and they brought along a  few of their friends. Maybe I will do something about it  next month... after Sowbug.

I know it helped a great deal getting in better shape last summer when I went to Florida with the Mokai. Dr. D ----- Original Message -----  From: Tom Davenport It is an interesting theory, but I have never tried to present a fly with a pound of butter.  Carry around too many pounds of butter and you might have a hard time finding your fly! Tom " If your rod weighs six ounces, your reel nine, and your line another ounce or two, it means that you are holding a pound of weight in your casting hand - much of the time at arm's length - all the time you fish. Try carrying a pound of butter around that way for four or five hours."
