Pallets in fields

[k0ua]

Holy Cow! This thread is still going! I'm not about to go back through 3k posts, but I'm curious if you guys ever figured it out

Mike, just to spare you the pain, I must tell you that ole Sparc abandoned us a long time ago. He ran from his own thread like a scalded dog and never stuck his head in the door again. So we will never know why those pallets were stacked in those fields that way. It's a sad tale isn't it?

LOL James, great minds think alike!

Yes, i remember the beginning of this thread and followed it for about the first 2 years and the op hadn't returned then so I guess I didn't really expect him to have returned now... though it has provided some good entertainment and an escape from some of the more serious things in life.

Man I miss this place! Not sure why it's been so long but, hopefully I'll be able to be here more again. It always was and probably will always be my best source of information.

Glad you are back Mike.

Back in October, I offered a research strategy that should answer the question. Unfortunately, it appears that no one has followed up.

Here's a research project that might allow an ambitious junior scientist to earn tenure.

Cooperative Extension County Offices: Rutgers NJAES provides a link to the Cooperative Extension office in each of the counties in New Jersey.

The junior scientist could e-mail the Extension Department Head in each county and inquire about the pallet formations. The e-mail could be along these lines.

"An associate was traveling through rural New Jersey recently and spotted several fields with pallets stacked in an inverted-v formation. He asked me about the purpose of the formations and I drew a blank. Are these formations used in your county? If so, what is their purpose"?

However I am not convinced there wasn't foul pallet play... Sparc may have accidentally exposed them and suffered retribution before the truth was discovered.

Yes but the last time that I followed one of your pallet related research strategies I ended up in Casualty!

You should stop seeing pallets in the feild. I've taken the next year off to drive around the Country and laying all the pallets down.

See, everyone complains about the weather, but no one ever does anything about it. Here's someone being proactive and doing something about it. Cat_Driver deserves our support.

... and prayers! It's a brave endeavor... be safe!

Yes, but only one man do it? The pallets will have time to re-group once Cat_Driver leaves one area. The cause has to be a coalition of many.

The mystery started as "why are there pallets" in this field. The mystery now is "why did I stay with this thread for 300 plus pages".

As the current regime is now allowing again the importation of exotic trophies (Elephant Foot Stools, Gorrila Paw Ash Trays) I figure those of you lucky enough to capture and kill your wild pallet can make it into some lovely patio furniture.

Oh yes, making things from discarded pallets is today's 'in thing'.
While wood used for pallets is about the lowest grade there usually is 1 foot sections or so of perfect grain that can be used to create clever objects like book ends, small shelves, desk top organizers etc.
Some are actually using palled wood to create rustic wainscoting, and it can look good.
With all the importation we see today lots of exotic woods are used in those pallets.

Years ago when Luan was popular for paneling I obtained the crates which consisted of 2 ea 1 x 6's 4 and 8 ft long.
Luan is in the mahogany family so about 20% of the 'crates' were nice dark mahogany.
The yard was going to burn the crates.
So my back yard was fenced in mahogany and lots of small furniture and other items in the house.
LOL, my home office walls were mahogany wainscoted as well.

Awesome!

Wonder how long it took to set that up?

Maybe they were already in an inverted V formation and readying for the take over? All the humans had to do was outflank them, then decouple them, and push on one end of the battalion to defeat them all! :confused3:
