Today I BOUGHT

[silver]

Today I bought and had fitted a new Titanium knee. Get to give it a test "run" tomorrow, and with plenty of practice, should be back in the GT next Spring :lol:

Now that's gunna be some fossil they'll find one day while digging with the Superior Experience eXpert Yesteryear Garrett 1000000 (SEXY 1 for short) in the next 5000 years.
Let's hope the popular consensus then is,"WOW, that thing musta kept going for a hundred years under extreme conditions" Then they'll laugh about how you were probably a detector operator way back when. :lol:
Hope it works well for you BW.

Thanks Ag.even got to watch it live on video - better than watching "Days of our Lives". Today's dry run went well. Can't wait to get back out there. Meanwhile, I wonder if Matlock Police or Number 96 are still showing

Sullivans would keep you busy 8) , like forever nearly (if you start from no.1)

Silver,
I had to draw the line somewhere Thanks gr. All the best to your gold buddy. Sure he'd wish you out there now and not waiting.

Great times were living in though, really, when you can get a new knee instead of the natural inevitability of lameness and a difficult existance dependant upon the goodness and compassion of others to see you through.
Tis truly a wow moment of scientific and medical advancements that we are looking over the cusp of in these our times.

I hear you, and wonder at technology now. Imagine gazing through our childrens' eyes in 50 years. Probably glad that I lived when I did?

 

[silver]

I'm putting my money on population reduction by choice, with the gene pool fully mapped and the grandchildren of the young now making choices that involve not having to look after children at all in a life of excitement and adventure vs a life of choice to procreate knowing full well there genes are in the store pool should anyone ever want or need them ,... that very fact will breathe choice moderation into common thought of the day, with only the rich deciding to have children in a one world govnment situation, and even then, they won't carry them, they will pay others to make em up to order from the gene pool store and have some poor family in need (but healthy) carry the baby full term and a paid group of people to raise em real good into proper adults fit for the new age ,... and lets not leave out the wealth concentrations as the population falls and wealth passes from the many to the few in this scenario, as that's the very feed n fuel that will provide the impetus for it all to come to fruition. Just look at how the young are thinking already and multiply that by generations of slow thought alterations by the bombardment of technologically enabled choice modifications foisted upon them that become the norm and standard thought practices over time and I'm sure you'll see where it's all heading ,... you just have to see foreward through the tangability of connections and what they all imply. 8)

Absolutely a work of art.Agreed. I would imagine it would be a lure to catch the legendary Murray Cod.

They are great Davent very skilled maker . Definitely for Murray Cod . My Avatar is a Giant Tasmanian Freshwater Cray . They are only found in streams that run into Bass Strait . Under threat now , due to logging and totally protected . A customer in our Exeter Hotel brought in an old photo when they were prevalent it's tail hung out the back of a baby bath with claws out of other end to first joint . ( wish I had taken a copy ) Cheers goldrat
