The 'tree service' arrived today to remove recent storm damage. A huge Box Elder 'shattered', next to my barn, doing some minor damage.
Looks like, I get a new toilet seat out of the deal ......

What a fabulously massive and beautiful tree. Sorry it did so much damage but the toilet seat is a real prize! Lots of history in that tree seat.

We'll miss the shade. It kept the barn cool.
I gave the "Seat" to the crew. They're going to hang it on the wall at their office to "frame" the Employee of the Month!

For some reason, seeing this impromptu "toilet seat" makes me think of corn cobs from a "rougher" past. :o
Hope your place gets back into good order.
Your a redneck if you can answer this. If you had both red corn cobs and white corn cobs, which one would you use first and why?

Now there's a question I would have never imagined! :D

There goes a lot of fire wood for the coming ice age. Wait, um, Global warming. Ice age is so 1970s.

Funny, I'm sitting here reading this thread and drinking my coffee and I have this insatiable urge for a doughnut!
Good bye to Chuck's Acer negundo friend. :'(

Box Elder is not fire wood. It generates no BTU's. I would have used up a lot of hardwood to burn up that junk wood.
Re: When Life gives you lemons ....
I may be pushing it on the corn cobs. But you use the red ones first. Follow-up with a white one to make sure everything is in order. So says my Dad. I never had to try this theory out myself.
