I think i'ts a birch tree. Well, did I make an A or an F ? Ha! Ha! Maybe a Sapling. So What's up? Where in Alaska is Carl Donohue???? Hey, do some more of that trivia! I like it. We can learn a lot. So punish me & give me my grade. Have a safe & great day!! Hey Carl- I like trivia like this, even if I get it wrong! I think i’ts a birch tree. Well, did I make an A or an F ? Ha! Ha!

Not a Sapling!! Haven't had my coffee yet. I say a Birch or a spruce. It looks big enough that some nut would climb if he ran from a bear. But it would probably bat him out of the tree anyway! Ciao!!

No matter, you probably already chopped it down to feed your growing fortress. ;-) I suck at tree ID, but if I had to guess, some version of a beech.

I think that may be it is something to do with the desert. Or maybe a movie. Can I really call you anything? I promise , It'll be nice. Hey Mark, I suck at tree I.D. also. But you are probably right, looks like good firewood, or maybe an extra door. That's it, it's a DON'T AXE ME CARL TREE!! Hey Ron!!What’s up? I think that may be it is something to do with the desert.

How soon I forget. Come to think of it, I think Guy DOES have it right. But I always thought cottonwoods were smaller than that. If Carl doesn't hurry up & reappear it may morph into Bono!! Hope everyone is having a great time, wherever they are!! Hey Ron, that was an album! How soon I forget. Come to think of it, I think Guy DOES have it right.

I do like "Balthazar", is that Latin? Mark, don't tempt me - I heard it's still in the minus 35 range in McCarthy, and firewood becomes a premium at that temperature. I think the fortress is done for now .. just have to put in the pool, and it'll be complete. :) Cheers Carl Hey Folks,
