Pat, have you checked the geneology section in the Round Rock library on the second floor? They have quite a bit of information there that might help.
I also live in Round Rock and like the library here it is very good for a small city.

Good Luck

Table saws typically turn the blade at 3400-3600 RPMs. Jerry's saw is no exception if it is the correct motor. The saw stop works very fast by jamming an aluminum block into the spinning blade. The company owner demonstrates this with a hot dog, or frankfurter or weiner, your choice of term. He slowly advances the weiner into the blade and the weiner does have the skin broken but not a deep cut.
He has also demonstrated the device with his own finger. The secrets to success is to move slowly and make sure you are in contact with the cast iron saw top with skin surface, non metalic tops probably do not work. It might not be 100% fool proof but nothing ever is.

Excellent, I have watched it three times now and will watch it again as well as send to link to several friends including my gun toteing sister.

Well done, Thank you.

I do not know what you looked like before but you look great now.
All survivors look great to me and I am amazed at their strength.
I pray you will continue to have good results and keep up the fight.

Dave

Howdy and welcome from Round Rock.
The flower is called an Indian Blanket around here.
Nice photograph.

Dave

This is beautiful, great timing and a great eye.
Thanks for sharing this with us.

Excellent Gary, I always enjoy your photos.
People around here ( Round Rock Texas ) don't restore and collect the large vehicles such as busses and trucks.

Here is a link to a 1927 Video of London that shows some busses of the time, enjoy as I know you will.

Welcome, I really like the photograph.
Ditty Boppers, I haven't heard that term since I was at Keesler July 64 - April 65 My AFSC was 30131B Airborn Nav Aids and I shared a barracks with several ditty boppers.

Thank you for your service and I say that into your good ear.

Dave

I enjoyed the tale but Snopes has this to say.

A lot of really great photos Gary.
How about some of that old boat that is rotting on a beach, the photos are some you had from a couple years back.

No favorites they are all fantastic, true art.

Thank you

Teacher Arrested
A Public school teacher was arrested today at John F. Kennedy International airport as he attempted to board a flight while in
possession of a ruler, a protractor, a compass, a slide-rule and a calculator. At a morning press conference, Attorney General Eric Holder said he believes the man is a member of the notorious "Al-Gebra" movement.

He did not identify the man, who has been charged by the FBI with carrying weapons of math instruction.

"Al-Gebra is a problem for us," the Attorney General said. "They derive solutions by means and extremes and sometimes go off on tangents in search of absolute values. They use secret code names like "X" and "Y" and refer to themselves as "unknowns", but we have determined that they belong to a common denominator of the axis of medieval with coordinates in every country. As the Greek philosopher Isosceles used to say, 'There are 3 sides to every triangle'."

*****When asked to comment on the arrest, President Obama said, "If God had wanted us to have better weapons of math instruction, He would have given us more fingers and toes."

******White House aides told reporters they could not recall a more intelligent or profound statement by the President. It is believed that another Nobel Prize will follow.
