Commercial Items Identified on my Commute

Image
I see a lot of interesting commercialitems on truck on I-75. When you make the commute many times you start to see the same items over and over again. Sometimes it is huge equipment tires, sometimes heavy equipment of different types. I see these huge blocks of aluminum going North. I think about what the mill must look like and where it is going. And how much aluminum foil a block like this will make. Using the Tesla Full Self-Driving (supervised) allows me to look for these things on the highway. The FSD also helps me through the crazy stop and goes. Easily over 70MPH and then sudden traffic at dead stops, frequently. I see accidents every trip. It is amazing there aren't more. A side note- aluminum foil has a shiny side and a dull side. The reason why is that the foil is folded as it goes through massive rollers. The shiny side is the side that faces the steel roller. The dull side faces itself - aluminum.
DEALING WITH DISAPPOINTMENTS

Woo Hoo!. My blogger is working again. Man, I was really getting PO'd at IQuest Hosting (sucks). Now I have to migrate my stuff to another host. There is no justice. It will cost me money, effort and most precious time to move my files to another place that I shouldn't have to move. I had to troubleshoot changed paths and guess as to why I could not gain access to my files. They pissed me off and showed me they really suck. The article above however shows me that I am probably gaining something out of the experience. I may not be able to see it currently, however.

Douglas and I are going out back to gather wood when he wakes up. The llamas really enjoy some new hay I bought. They like it almost as much as their grain.

I brought my orange tree home from work the other day. I planted a seed from an orange I had for lunch when I was working at Microwave Data Systems http://www.microwavedatasystems.com. I was having a bad day and I decided to take it as a positive and planted the seed from the disappointment I was feeling. It has grown over 5 feet tall now. I transplanted it into a much larger pot now. I also plan on trimming and pruning a bit. It really needs a haircut. Growing things is truly a lot of fun.
