Default McDonalds to the Rescue

I just returned home from driving to California, and at the risk of adding one more charge against me, discovered that the little plastic ketchup cups at McDonalds make great little paint mixing containers. These little containers are about twice the size of a thimble. I have no idea how a dozen or so of them got into my carving bag. The other charges are smuggling a plant into California, and driving through a red light at a toll gate in Oklahoma.

Good Grief, Tom
Such and adventure and a McDonald's caper to boot--I think I heard on the radio that there was an all points bulletin out for you. By the way thanks for the ketchup cup tip. I'll check out Burger King for you so when your welcome is no longer at McDonalds you can switch to Burger King. Stand by for more info...
Oh and by the way Merry Christmas.
Kathy

Hey Tom, wondered where you went to. Should have gotten ahold of me i could have gotten you around that nasty OK toll road. At least you got to see some beautiful country that way, i always loved route 40 especially at the Calumet truckstop.

Now i have to contact my friend at wendy's and see if i can get a case of cups under the table...hehe!

Interstate 40 eh. Nice drive from OK City to amarillo for sure. Love the red dirt and the wind turbines at Wealtherford OK. Interesting to see so many of them. Now we are getting them on HIway 400 here in SEK.

Glad you made it just fine. Well except the Micky D caper.

I hear there's a reward of small order of French Fries for whoever turns the McCup thief in. Wink

I agree those would make some good mixing cups.

I always say Tom, if you aren't living on the edge, you are taking up too much space!
