Pallets in fields

Funny thing happened. I stacked them pretty high and when I went out later the pile had a slight lean to it. This is where it gets weird because the pile was leaning in the direction of a distant cell tower.

You could be on to something. Pictures? Percent lean? Did we ever establish the inclination of the OP PIF's?

I have not paid attention to this forum for 234 pages but now I find myself about to clear out the back barn of a bunch of pallets. There is nowhere to temporarily stack them except in the field next to the barn. Should I be concerned?

Be afraid, very afraid. They are doing strange things in the field and getting organized.

They have been photographed making two women carry then around.

The OP reported pallets leaning together in an inverted V shape, and now someone has captured a triangular pallet. Are there more than two sides to this story?

Hhhmmmm,,,, I wonder if there were two cell towers and two piles if the two piles would lean towards the opposite tower and towards each other forming an inverted V

I believe that some of these pallets may have been used to carry wacky terbacky on them

What if what we perceive as pallets are actually just a shapeshifting lifeform that just wanted free tractor/forklift rides, but were not sure how to ask?

TomSeller · Feb 20, 2015

Shapeshfting lifeform..... Why haven't we thought of that before?

Well, the neighbor that I gave my pallets to said that "those pallets have my name on them" and to save them. hmmm...save then from what? Even more odd, how did the pallets know his name? Maybe that explains the leaning towards the cell tower? Even more strange was the cryptic message my neighbor left behind. He said if I get any more to CALL him. He didn't say let him know as most people would but specifically to call him. And how did he know that I have more pallets? Hmmm...

It seems these pallets have attempted to hide from the snow.

Steve,
I'm in the down south part of the upstate, in Greenwood. It got down to 9 degrees the other night and messed up an outside spigot. We were without power for a couple of days. It's getting back to normal now. How about your area?

I'm in Oconee County. Some folks lost power, but we kept ours. I lost a few limbs due to the ice from freezing rain, but the roads were clear when I ventured out at noon on Monday.

The fan on the exterior unit of my heat pump went out Thursday and we had to rely on the Emergency Heat until noon on Friday. My next electric bill is going to hurt.

I'm planning on going to my farm in NC on Wednesday. My neighbor says that we kept power, but it got down to 0. I'm going to be keeping my fingers crossed when I check for leaks after flipping the the breaker on my well pump.

There, that proves that the radiation emitted from cell towers is hazardous.
Even affects the poor innocent pallets.

We need to mount a protest movement and parade the white house.

I regret that the "History of Science" is no longer included in the core curriculum. Had you young scientists taken this course, you would have realized that this conjecture is without merit. Pythagoras addressed the question, "Does a bear go in the woods?" in 500 BC. He proved that bears and other undomesticated land-based mammals that were native to Greece indeed go in the woods. Subsequent research by his followers, the Pythagoreans, has shown that his proof is not specific to Greece, but is general, extending to all undomesticated land-based mammals with access to forests.

Also, I would remind young scientists to use scientific terminology. Rather than use the layman's term "pee," use "going number 1" or "winky tink."

Steve

Dear sir, I understand you've laid claim to the fact that Pythagoras proved that bears do go in the woods. I however did not see you post any evidence of this claim. I in no way consider myself an astute scientist such as yourself but perhaps could assist you in this matter. I'm surprised the lovely Pipette did not come to your aid in the matter earlier.

Regards, Rob

They go in my yard, I am sure they go in the woods on the way to my house. Phew!!! I mean, they can only hold it for so long.

Good luck with those pipes.

If I don't find a starter for my MF soon, I'll be heading to your Massey dealer in Westminster. The parts guy there seems to know what he's doing.

Pallets in fields and the amazing vanishing cabin have to be connected. Go over and check it out, I told the guys to wait for you.

I saw three or four trucks pulling cattle trailers in town yesterday and one of them had a pallet strapped to the side of it. I was gonna take a pic but several guys were standing beside the truck so didn't. Wonder if this pallet was on its way to a field?

Of course there are more than two sides to this story, Bruce... It's a triangle.

Yes! The problem is three dimensional. That is why we have not solved the problem! We have been stuck in two dimensions.

Wagtail · Feb 27, 2015

Ah HA! It's a COMBINATION of factors that we're dealing with here, not just a single phenomena.

We've questioned the shape, orientation, spacing, construction material, ground Ph, etc... but haven't questioned what two, three or four of these factors would lead to a formula as to the ultimate purpose of the "Pallets in fields"!
