You are right Mike. I did measure them yesterday when I got the mower out. They are all a little different size, but close to 8-feet long. I figured out where they came from. Dad took out the rotting door frame for the back door of the shop about 10 years ago. He got rid of the bad stuff, and just walled in where the door was. On the interior, he pulled out some wall boards to fit in his new wood, and these came from there. Then he piled a bunch of junk up where the door was again. I was paying more attention this summer to what was junk, salvageable, and things to keep, and hadn't paid close attention to his handy work walling in the door. And yes, at 8 feet, I wasn't going to put them in my '04 Hyundai Sonata to bring home. 
On another note, I pulled out the temporary tracks for my operating accessories on the layout build in the 11 x 11 room. It had sat that way since my wife suggested I build in the family room. I put some town buildings in their place that are a bit more delicate, just for safe keeping.
