Rest assured Dan. The other slab is in good hands.

 The gentleman who stopped me to ask what I planned to do 
with my butcher block has the other one. He was back at the 
end of the yardsale to offer $5 bucks for it. His plan was 
that they would take the $5 bucks rather than hump it back 
into the house. I don't think I'll live that one down 
either!!!! I've got along way to go before I call myself 
Galoot.
