It's probably that I'm wrong, but I thought adipose tissue/fat cells were mostly water, aka, storage tanks, that shrank or swelled as reserves were put into them/taken out. If that's the case, how is it that lean tissue (muscle) is more water than fat tissue? Of course, if that's not the case, please quietly disregard this posting. 
(Serious question...no disrespect intended.)

Any sarcasm here, I suspect, would be stomped on pretty hard by the fellow Clydes, though!

Of course, I can be just as sarcastic--ask my wife--but I am trying to direct it at inanimate objects or situations, not people. Oh well. C'est la vie.

Sun- Sat, or whatever seven day period as long as they are consistent and to me on time to make the posting on Monday. I'm easy to get along with.

Okely Dokely! It's that time again! Time for the Spinner miles to be reported! Get them to me, (51), I have yours! By the way, all, (51) kinda banged himself up this week, so while we post the miles, lets wish him a good and quick heal up. He crashed and kinda banged himself up a bit, but is OK, not hospitalized or anything broken, just some good bruises.
(51), remember, "Injuries heal, chicks dig scars, but glory lasts forever!"
