Texas Fall/Winter thread!

Brandi, I would, for no other reason but CYA. Never know how an irresponsible owner will react. Get it on the "record"

I'm with the others also Brandi. Contact the Sheriff. The first time might be a fluke but 2 attacks is inexcusable especially coming on your property. That dog needs to go.

I seem to remember my mom buying vanilla extract and also white liniment from the Watkins Man.

I never remember the Watkins man, but I asked my Grandmother years ago if she had heard of them, and she said that he use to come around and they would barter Chickens & Eggs for the Watkins products. My Dad always like their Black Pepper.

In Michigan we still had a Watkins man coming until about 10 years ago. As a kid we had Watkins, Fuller Brush and other door to door salesmen. Still see Watkins at TX flea markets.

Lou, Thank you, thank you, thank you. I followed you lead on a little electric 5 ton wood splitter and I am very happy with it. I split all my wood in an hour with no pain. I do like how low to the ground it is but did not like staying in the stooped over position while holding down the lever so I made a quick foot pedal with a board, wire and duct tape - then it was perfect! No problem splitting dry Post Oak.

What is the cycle time for the ram to close and then reopen?
Does it reopen automatically when you take your foot off the pedal ?
