    I have a slight OCD when it comes to Stacking pellets.

    I still have 24 more bags to add to the stack tomorrow. Or another 3 rows (16 rows total)

    Here is a play by play and a pic of the stack that was there last year (Ligs and PTL's)

    Who else has an OCD? Who else does not care??

    damm, looking at the pile in the living room, you even re-flatten the bags after they have been tossed around a bit?

    Dont know if I should admire this or be worried about you :confused:

    Hey... He could have opened the pellet bags, sorted the pellets by length and then stacked them like rounds in different piles depending on length....
