the way that dock is set up, looks like a good way to sprain an ankle.

Looks a little like it was made of pallets.

Cane pole fishing from the water's edge is great fun!

A lot of things can be made with pallets. Boats, planes and probably fishing docks aren't the best examples.

I have got about 100 pallets [mainly oak] ready to be taken apart to be used in our home.

hoping they have not been treated,
any pallet used outside the USA has to be treated for pest, IIRC

My wife wanted me to retrieve some barn wood from her father's horse barn before it was torn down and burned. I said sure honey, no problem. I soon realized that the whole structure was mostly made of pallets. I finally got about a half a pick-up load of actual oak lumber out of it, and made an area on the family room wall for her to display family pictures. At first I thought it was a bad idea, but now I see my grand children's pictures up there on their great grand fathers wood. No way to match that.

Nope, heat treated only.

I've recycled quite a bit of used lumber over the years when I noticed the "scrap" would easily suit my needs.
I used some clean pallets and leftover flooring to build a butcher block topped microwave cabinet. Pallets for the carcass and maple flooring for the top which included jatoba inlays. She's still using it after 30 years.
An oval picnic table salvaged from old decking including four radiused short benches.
Wrecking out a faux fireplace with built in bookcases I recycled the longer lengths into replacing some facia on my garage.
The same garage has French pane windows with frieze and matching service door frame. All constructed using packing crates from modular walk_in freezer panels.
The list goes on to include toy trucks and scooters etc. for my kids and nephews. Used scrap white oak to build a two wheeled truck for moving my tools from one job to another. That showed off I was a carpenter for over 25 years. Now that I'm retired I dismantled it this winter to get small pieces of aged oak for another upcoming project.
There is a certain feeling one gets from the extra work involved. Probably surpassed by harvesting your own tree, but that feeling is there.

saw that as a window sticker a couple of weeks ago. MILF in big letters, man I like fishing in very small letters underneath
Allen you hijacked the fishing thread to pallet wood....
Cane pole fishing from bank or boat IS fishing. Rod'n reel fresh water fishing is work. Some of my best memories are of my dad and me sculling along on a 14' John Boat on any nimber of small lakes or ponds; nearly 60 yrs ago. Really loved fishing in Dump Lake, near Vicksburg MS., an old slough closed off when the Mississippi River changed course, a loooong time ago. There are alligator gar in there that look like they belong in jurassic park.

used to fish with a retired C&P lineman,
he knew every small pond around town, and in several counties,
taught me how to fly fish, and how to scull a boat with a paddle,
good times
Rod 'n reel fresh water fishing is work. He ain't justa woofin'. I've seen Alligator Gar skeletons on the bank it was my introduction to Texas. Hot. Not unlike, well... I've caught Northern(or something) Pike in an extinct volcano in AZ. I'm sure it's dryied up now. Maybe they were planted. But one of the best days of fishing I can recall. A thunderstorm was brewing. I'm lazin' about in the 12ft. I put out a bobber and then another. The weeds or seaweed or whatever that stuff was called was so thick I had to pull clumps of it off the little prop. About the time I saw lightening I figured it was time to pull up anchor. Great, five lbs. of seaweed on the thing. More lightening. I reeled in two, I'm calling them, Northern Pike. I've got pictures. I've nearly been hit by lightening on the lake, but like the golfing minister in Caddyshack, take me now.

there is a fine line between fly fishing and standing in the water waving a string around like an idiot.
yeh I like fishing, more than just about anything else except riding a motorcycle.
My summer home is near a 16,000 acre Pymatuning Reservoir that straddles the Pennsylvania-Ohio border about 40 miles south of Erie, PA. We bought a pontoon boat a few years ago and enjoyed catching the Walleye and Muskie that seemed so willing last summer.
My favorite is trailering my old bass boat to bass fish in Erie’s Presque Isle Bay a few times in June. Always catch and release. The usual 3-4 pounders are fun with an occasional 5 pounder here and there.
Last July 4th, we decided to take the pontoon boat to watch the fireworks with six friends/relatives at a state park at the southern end of Pymatuning which is an 8 mile trip from our dock. The lake is about 1-2 miles wide. The maximum allowed HP is 20 so the max speed for a pontoon boat is about 8 MPH. We made the trip to the park and dropped the anchor while we still had some daylight and waited another hour until it got dark.
The fireworks were fun to watch and we were surrounded by many other pontoons. It was a moonless, windless night and the smoke that hung around over the water from the fireworks was really heavy and obscured the shoreline and open water to the north. I had my wife’s I phone that I tried to get a north compass heading for the return trip but that didn’t work. Finally, after an hour, the full moon rose in the south east and I was able to identify our location. We made the trip back and docked safely at about 1 AM.
Now, I bring my iPad with me all the time that has a detailed GPS/compass/navigation app with a back-up hand held compass that eliminated landmark navigation. Through it all, we had a good time but I wonder how many will want to go again this July 4th.
It's a long way from Phoenix, but I would go...

Thanks, you’d probably enjoy a challenge. Pull up a map of Ohio or Pennsylvania and see how big the lake is.
I’ll be in Scottsdale in April for a week. Your weather should be warm by then. Happy they grounded the 737 Max that Southwest flies.
