Mr. Mack & Free Lumber

Tother day I went out to the front yard for some damn thing or another and saw Mr. Mack, my neighbor across the street and down 1 raking. I hadn't seen him for a few weeks so went over to see what was new w/ him & his wife, Ms. Jean. Turns out he'd been halfway keeping an eye out hoping to see me. As luck (or God watching over me) all turned out to my favor. He's got some assorted lumber scraps he was considering taking to the curb but wanted to offer me dibs (which I graciously accepted). Mostly it's fair to middling 2 x 4 some 4 to 6' long w/ some fire fodder in the mix. But the jewel of the lot is a 4 x 6 between 6 and 8 foot long. My brain is running wild with options for that baby! He said there's no time limit for me to fetch the lumber over to my house but I'll try and do it PDQ just to get it out of his way.
