Pallets in fields

[dragoneggs]

I'm almost afraid to post, it might make me turn to du

Oh no... did we lose txdon as well. We might need to start tracking TBNers that are dropping off. Sparc, TX? We could plot them on a map and analyze any correlation to a 'ley' pattern.

Apparently blueriver believes in lex talionis -- retributive justice. I am in favor of such justice for major scientific felonies such as breaking Ohm's Law, the First Law of Thermodynamics, the First Law of Demand, etc. Although sparc deserves punishment for his slackness, we must not overact.

Yes, let's try to quell any overzealousness by singular constituents of our scientific community unless laws of physics, or similar such sciences have shown to be delict. Pardon me Steve, but I cannot legitimately lump economics into this scuttle.

Okay continuing my research although my day job has me busy on the road. Reporting in from Singapore. Today I spent some time researching whether there are geographical differences in pallet forms. While this may sound to be obscure and maybe even a waste of precious time... I again have to mention that we have not yet even identified the substrate materials and finishes of the pallet in fields. Before we even address fastening methods and processes (yes Wagtail... including your bloody nail patterns) we must understand the basic molecular makeup of the pallets themselves.

My initial findings are that the two prevalent materials are in play here in SE Asia. The popular substrate is wood and most prevalent species is Philippine Mahogany with a nail fastening scheme. I was unable to determine the type of nail (ring-nail, hot dipped galvanized, screw blunt diamond, etc.) but the nailing patterns were somewhat random suggesting robotic process are not widely employed. This was a little disheartening to me for some reason, I think because I think it shoots holes in the alienist theory (if they came this far, truly there would be more organization unless of course they are just trying to fit in and not be noticed).

The second material I discovered was a composite that appeared to be a thermoplastic, and I am guessing to be of high density polyethylene or possibly polycarbonate. This of course was homogeneous in that a primitive fastening system was not evident.

Thirdly, I discovered a wood/metal combination constructed pallet. This type seemed to function as a platform for very high mass objects. In all cases, I am unable to disclose the content that is being transported by these pallets. I apologize but this information is protected by ITAR and EAR laws. I however wish to submit the following photographs as evidence in our quest.



Note: I apologize for the third thumbnail being inverted. I don't understand this phenomenon only on this pic as I am at 1.300degN latitude. Clicking on the thumbnail seems to properly 'orient'. Sorry for the pun.

Note to big brother (NSA): Please understand that our quest for the truth re: pallet in field... the information herein should not be construed as an assault on any national secrets both domestic and foreign.

Yaawwnn.......



How did they get the pallet to stick to the ceiling?
I'll bet that really saves floor space....those Asians are so practical!

Whatever you're on I want some.

Monkeys normally feed on fresh fruits such as apple, mango, papaya, banana, grapes and fresh vegetables like carrots, tomato and fennel. For spider monkeys or marmosets, insects like grasshoppers and mealworms are the perfect meals for them.

I have found that monkeys are lacking in the social graces. -- their table manners are atrocious.

Wagtail , I stand corrected. I spent 4 days reading all the reply's to this post to try to learn as much as I could about pallets as I noticed that I am seeing more and more plastic or pressed particle board. I truly believe that we are seeing the extinction of the real wood pallets.
After reading all the reply s to the post I am sure you can see my forgetfulness and sort of confusion. What started out as a simple question about why pallets were erected in a lone N.J. field has turned into a physiological search for answers about the creation and the demise of the universe and the economical down fall of nations and much more beyond my puny mind.
What I thought would be "Pallets 101" and to ,as I said before, learn more about the real wood pallets has turned into a ,what seems like a 4 year ,full time course. It has grown much beyond my thinking but like drugs I am now addicted an feel I must learn as much about pallets as I can in order to save them from extinction.
I thank you

Lots of pallet ideas...........

wood pallets...Ohhh the possibilities!!!!

Emily,
Please be advised: You can hurl insults at the monkey if you dare. When the monkey hurls back, it might be monkey poo.

Oh my, I had no idea. How vulgar.

Actually, I made my comment based on my one contact with a non-hominid primate -- a Mr. Consul Bozo, a college classmate of my former husband, Mr. Post. Mr. Post and Mr. Bozo had a chance meeting at their club, and Mr. Post invited Mr. Bozo to dine with us. I was horrified when Mr. Bozo used his dinner fork for the fish course. I can assure you that was the first and last time that Mr. Bozo dined at the Post household.

Mr Boso needs to burn strapped on the pallet with Sparc ... Set the pallets a fire!!!!
