The Original O'l Farts Club.

@bigsur51 If you run across some Fat Wood chunks from them pines. I'll pay for the shipping for a few sticks. Need some for the bugout/ camping kits. Absolut best thing for starting a fire. We don't have pines in my neck of the woods.

Lumber yard?

When Dutch was in his prime, I would buy him those big stuffed chuckit balls, and he would rip them apart and averaged about one a week. Then my friend started bringing over small traffic cones in which he chewed them to pieces and ended up leaving orange chunks in his poo. Finally, I made a 6 foot tall, slingshot out of pipe and used to launch the balls 100 yards for him and he would go get them every day and bring them back for more… both boys are out in the front yard enjoying the beautiful weather we have today… i’m very concerned about Ivan‘s emotional well-being when Dutch passes. Those two are inseparable…

Before they came out with Atlatl style ball flingers, I used a sling to launch tennis balls for our pups.

Really handy from the standpoint that I could wad them up and stick them in my pocket.

As a kid, besides real slings, we also made what they now call slingshots using inter tube rubber for shooting rocks, ball bearings, and marbles but that's not the politically incorrect name that we called them.

You gotta bring that cholesterol down man. Same situation here...and triglycerides are like 235. My LDL is like 240? I'm borderline taking medication for it. All I can do is walk my 3-6 miles a day and occasionally eat healthy things to keep me going. I enjoy muscle milk. Strawberries. Granola. Yogurt. Spring mix.

do some research because there are some new studies out about cholesterol that contradicts some of the previous findings

I think the original cholesterol studies were based on manipulated data

I read somewhere that the person doing the research study only kept the data that confirmed his bias and threw away other data that disagrees with his stidy

Not a doctor, but converting to mg/DL, it doesn't look high with a total at 170, HD at 45.5, and LD at 127.
