Moral Question

[5 Oaks]

So my Father brought over some wood for me to "feed the beast". However I noticed it is Maple. I explained that burning Maple in an Arch is not morally acceptable. I explained to him it is like eating a Banana on a Boat, (he's a Navy Vet) it can be done, but not the correct thing to do. Bad karma.

So, can you all help me? Do i use it in the arch or give to the kids for the camp fire ring?

It'll make some fine syrup.
Heck Mr. Potato head eats lays.

Here I thought you were gonna talk about mushrooms. LOL
Regarding the wood, I wouldn't chance it. Send it to Central Wisconsin please.

Is it wrong to put cheese (a dairy product from cows) on a hamburger? Or make an omelet with shredded chicken in it?

Thanks for all the input. "give me sap or give me fire wood" just about had my mind changed. But then I read about cheese on a burger...Who doesn't put cheese on a burger? So I guess I go home split it up and burn it. I will give my Dad a bottle that it helped make!

Hehe, think that'll be my sideproject this year...get some 'Give me sap or give me firewood' T-shirts done up...problem is trees can't read ;-) And definitely make the most of that great maple you have on hand now to burn.

Galena If you make them I want a link to it. I WANT one of them. LOL

No one would really understand when I wear it, unless they are as twisted as the rest of us here on these forums. I love doing things that make people question me and my sanity anyhow.

I wore one for the longest time that said, "Please to not interrupt me while I am trying to ignore you."
I used to get some odd looks and it made it more enjoyable to me.

as to if its morally wrong?
If its laying next to my woodpile and split. Its going in the fire. Its a warning to trees no matter what its best not to die or tick me off.

Who doesn't put cheese on a burger?

Those who are lactose intolerant.

Your not the only person that feels that way. Im a logger and i wont cut hard maple if its healthy. Moral objections.......

Good point. I was watching Youtube the other day and saw your smiling face. We were in the shack. My buddy jumped when i yelled "hey its the Doctor!!" and I cranked the volume so i could hear you.

"Hehe, think that'll be my sideproject this year...get some 'Give me sap or give me firewood' T-shirts done up...problem is trees can't read ;-) And definitely make the most of that great maple you have on hand now to burn."

I will send you money for one.
