How It's Made
Not that I'm bored or anything, but between weather (snow and rain making ice today) and this Corona stuff, I'm killing a Saturday by watching a How it's made marathon on Science Channel. Doing other stuff at the same time, but, this one caught my eye ... fascinating stuff. I don't know much about Western Stuff, but, I'm betting these things are pricey

They had one on this morning about making pigs heart valves ready for humans ... pretty amazing stuff. I always thought they just put the valve in, but, it looked to me that they strip the pig "meat" from the cartilage, then put human "meat" on it and let it grow. The are doing the same thing with nylon "skeletons" for ears, then let the human "meat" grow on that ... pretty weird stuff.Originally Posted by Mykneesbehurtin
My new valve is from a cow. It's probably the same process.

I don't care where it's from ... just glad you're still with us ...
My Great Grandfather made saddles from 1865 until his death in 1915 and my Grandfather continued until his death in 1946. Here is one my Father used to own and now belongs to my cousin in Tennessee where they were from.Not that I'm bored or anything, but between weather (snow and rain making ice today) and this Corona stuff, I'm killing a Saturday by watching a How it's made marathon on Science Channel.

Thanks for the post Alan! Made me remember the 1870's saddle I used to ride. It was made by a saddlemaker in Cheyenne, Wyoming. It was still in good shape after a little TLC... and rode nice!

My sister and hubby are team ropers and have spent bukoos of money having custom made saddles that fit the horse AND the rider. To get that in sync with each other is a real skill.

Got me to thinking ... rutro
I wonder if they could make a comfy saddle for the FBG, more importantly, could I afford it ...
If they did you would have to change the name from FBG to FBN, fat bottom nag.
It takes years to develop trust, it only takes a moment to lose it.
I saved this one in bookmarks some time ago.

I assume you have to take those anti-rejection drugs for life too. Would be great if they could change the DNA somehow so that's no longer needed.Make it YOURS right from the get-go.
The only reason some people are still alive is it's illegal to shoot them.
