Last minute Xmas gift: Sharkfin book ends

[Cheese]

I had a T-110 and then a TR 6.  They both came with a tool kit.  I soon found that the best place to carry the tool kit was in my jacket pocket where i could get at it quickest.

That's funny...unless you've owned one you can't relate.

Just recounting to my wife yesterday about taking the Norton to my friend's cabin on a very hot summer day. I got 75 miles from home and the points/condensor gave out leaving me, coincedentally, also 75 miles from his cabin. This was long, long before the advent of cell phones, so the question at the time was....where did I put that tool kit with the extra set of points in it?

@ Cheese,
I sent you a PM.  I did not want to hi-jak any more of this thread.

@ Peter Halle
Thanks for the connection.  That is a more complete report than i had found in the past.  It is interesting how many other trees have the same effect, altho not as bad as Walnuts.  The report mentions the effect of Walnut trees on other plants.  It does not mention its effect on animals, particularly about horses.

I guess my searching fingers are working well today.  Regarding walnut and horses:  http://www.omafra.gov.on.ca/english/livestock/horses/facts/walnut.htm

Now going on a tangent - did you know that cyanide comes from peach pits?  Dogs who chew on peach pits get a mild dose and get sleepy.  I know this one from experience!
