    Dem bones, dem bones, dem...........

    Looks good - they make them so much better these days. Should last for a good long time. Hoping you're back on your feet really soon!

    This thread has definitely taken an odd turn. Rather than the Display Case we've evolved to a Cabinet of Curiosities. However, its all good. Keep the reveals coming!

    Different approach to perfusion - continuous rather than pulsatile. Smaller, lighter, better for destination therapy. I'm amazed by the rapid advances. Wasn't long ago we were chasing baboon hearts.

    Vintage Things That Have Disappeared In Your Lifetime?

    ZPG - That train pulled out of the station. I did my part.

    Not vintage - but maybe weird: HeartMate II Left Ventricular Assist Device (LVAD). I use it for school and community education. While not a full artificial heart, there are plenty of these out there chugging along. The HeartMate III is a different style and now half the size. Simple design means...

    Vintage Things That Have Disappeared In Your Lifetime?

    Going, going, but not quite gone... pianos. I read a piece by Neal Wertheimer in the AARP Bulletin for October 2017. Neal talks about the difficulty he had finding a new home for the family's upright piano. Having recently lived through the exact situation, I thought it worth commenting. My...

    Garrett Popcorn - shops all over the loop and some suburban locations. Excellent! Great gift for friends.

    Forgotten Advertising Characters of the Era

    Two of my favorites... remember, just a little dab will do you (when I had hair): And Big Boy - still in the land of the living.

    My daughter the weaver, who was the only American to be invited through an international competition to weave an item with Welsh wool for HRH's Cambrian Mountains Wool Design Challenge in Wales. I was one super proud dad! This was about a year ago and in my humble opinion, much more of a...

    Classic Safari vehicles!

    To my surprise, my wife suggested the 4WD pick-up. Fewer points on my drivers license than the 5.0 Mustang I traded. The 4-door medium-sized truck with a full backseat was a great decision. She drives a car.

    I never asked him the history behind his getting the knife. There are a lot of them in the marketplace. Almost like mugging a 16yo for his knife. Would a soldier of age actually carry this?

    Life is good! It's only 4 days a week in Augusta, then back home to Nashville.

    dh66 - I think I got a small (6') boa skin from that same tribe years ago. Name sure sounds familiar. They had an anaconda skin that could'a gone 8-10' with scales larger than my thumb. I couldn't afford it at the time. They also just brought in a fresh bushmaster - poison spear kill. Head was...

    Classic Safari vehicles!

    ...and a few degrees to the south, the Tropic of Capricorn (Stuart Hwy., Northern Territory, AU) with the Aussie's favorite camper and the world's healthiest and hardiest camels. (They actually export them to the Saudi's because they're healthier than the indigenous ones).

    Classic Safari vehicles!

    Now this isn't too classic, unless you're an early Ford Bronco fan, say '65 or '66? I learned how to drive stick shift on this trip to the Ecuadorean Andes... check out the road behind us. The clutch was worth @#$%^ when I returned the truck. Obligatory Equator picture - one of the few...

    This was "liberated" by the glider guy above (my dad) along with a clean P-38. Hitler Youth Knife with motto: "Blood and Honor".

    Terms Which Have Disappeared

    Waiting in traffic for a red light to change and the guy in front doesn't go when it's green, my dad always commented "What's he doing, waiting for a color he likes". I think my wife is sick of hearing it.

    Here's one you won't see too often... AA 82nd Airborne 325th Glider Regimen. I can't imagine a controlled crash landing behind the lines in a wooden and canvas box with wings.

    Napkin Rings - any collectors?

    I started buying these for my wife years ago and the collection has turned out quite nice. There are none later than 1920 and most are in the 1895-1915 range. All are hallmarked English sterling. She prefers them with a monogram as it ties it to a real person. I found this vintage needle display...
