She had her breakfast for tomorrow.

You know she's going to grow up to be just like you, don't you? Is that good or bad?:flipoff2:
 
I have no idea what that is.

It doesn't move, so antenna of some kind? Doesn't look like wires going to it.

The one shows a pipe like 10ft away.

Is this an underground storage tank for wind generators?

I don't know what it is, but I drive by once a month so I should see the project progressing.

Permanent foundation so it has a long lasting purpose. And seems the shape and direction both may have a purpose.

Solar powered something inside of it?
Weather monitor station?
Cameras to look at crop from the couch?
Wet bar for those long days pushing the workers?

Corner reflector - RF signals coming from anywhere the the open quadrant are reflected directly back to the transmitter. Also explains why it's mainly mesh - to RF that is solid.

Orientation is interesting - pointing slightly up, so something airborne, and only being one array it's only useful in that quadrant (normally you see 4 or 8 back to back to provide hemisphere or spherical coverage.) Size also suggests a pretty long wavelength - similar reflector for marine navigational radar for instance is about 6-12".

Pretty sure I found it. Part of the calibration array for a Nasa radar satellite.
