As a (now former, but hopefully again in the future) marathon runner I am accustomed to exerting large amounts of physical for little, if any, gain. Well, I came into possession of a 6ft pallet that I decided to break apart for some future projects. After 90 minutes of banging, prying and pulling nails, I was left with a small pile of crappy (mostly cracked or damaged) wood. I feel like I ran a marathon. Instead of a medal and a ton of respect from people that hope to someday run a marathon, I ended with this s***** wood and a bunch of people that think "hey I should do that and make xyz project". I have a new respect for people that bust pallets to make things that are better than an old used pallet. Now, where is the icy hot?
