mcdonald's wood is good!!!

[steeltowninwv]

after work today i went thru mcdonalds drive thru for a milk shake...while i was waiting for them to take my order, i saw a very large downed tree..what i thought was a ash tree.....so i get my milkshake then walk in and talk with the manager about cutting it...she tells me..here is a piece of paper...write something saying they wont be responsible if something happens..i tell her no problem....came home got the saw and went back....as i get up in the woods behind mcdonalds i see it is in fact a locust tree instead of ash..by far the biggest locust i have cut...and its straight as an arrow as well......i got this load this evening...after work i will get another load each day until i get it whipped...the pic is of some of the limbs from the tree top.....this locust is probably 26-28 inches across for a good 30- 40 feet of log...gonna be some awesome wood.....and to beat it all.its pretty dry wood...could probably burn this year if needed, but this will be for 3 years from now...im sure it will get greener and wetter down in that butt log.

You deserve a tree today. So get up and get away. To McDonald's.

Will that tree be for here, or to go sir?

Keep your day job of moderator of moderation
When I was singing along, it sounded out of key LOL

 

[BrotherBart]

Back in the 70's when McDonald's aired that tune for ads dozens of their store employees came to work to find front windows smashed and a brickbat inside with a note attached reading "You deserve a brick today...".

Yes that ash will be fine in 3 years.....heck Sav probably has some ash in his stacks that's 33 years old.
