have you cut out all the high fructose corn syrup and processed grains? The corn syrup is unfortunately in everything (check labels, it's almost in EVERYTHING!) , and your body doesn't process it the same way as regular sugar. When I decided to lose the weight gained from sitting at a computer for years, I cut out soft drinks and drank unsweetened tea or water, drank a glass or two of water every time I felt hungry BEFORE I ate anything (I waited a good 15 minutes or so before eating), and cut out the corn syrup as much as possible, and went rock hunting more, and dropped 40 pounds in 6 months. And this without radically changing my diet (got to have that ice cream, chocolate, cheese, sausages, and good European beers). Just drinking water before eating fills your stomach up, and actually many hunger attacks are water-related, plus you could cut out several hundred calories a day in non-necessary eating when you're actually thirsty. If you want something sweet in your drink, go with honey, it's better for you and much healthier. Hope this helps...

we used to go to Rockport and use chicken necks on a string, fishing off the public docks. you pull them in real slowly, then when the crab is suspended close to the water surface, try to nail it with a net. My mom once had a blue latch onto her big toe after it got out of the net. OUCH!

maybe the Rio Grande agate beds will be super if/when it calms down after the storm...

many, if not most, great finds are found by amateurs

I'm moving to Austin this week. First thing that gets set up are the tumblers, then the fossil sandblaster and cab units Fun thing, down there, my uncle and cousins are all engineers, and I plan on showing them my new plans for giant tumblers - think 15 and 55 gallon drums. Hopefully, I can crank out some SERIOUS polished stones soon once they get built. The way I'm collecting stuff, my other tumblers just aren't cutting it. I have close to a half ton of the OK coral alone now. On the way back from the last trip, I stopped off again and raided the site for what was left of the coral before it gets paved over. That, plus about 200 pounds of barite rose rocks. That site's getting paved over too . At least I'll be a lot closer to the Rio Grande for agates. You can never collect all of those out of the gravel pits. Lots of good rock clubs in the Austin area. There are 5 or 6, and I used to be a member of several in the 80's and 90's, so it's like I'm coming home. Maybe I can get into the opalized wood sites on field trips again...

Hello again all! I'm back, at least for a little while, as I settle into a new place to live. Lots of chaos here, and until it's settled, I will only pop in every once in a while. Fot those who have been wondering about me, thank you. It's appreciated.
take care for now, Dan
