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.
It's About Connectivity Not The Internet! Today is Bonnie's birthday
SINGLE to 3 PHASE CONVERTER It was busy day. Now it is off to toastmasters in Owego. I have a minor role, but we have new members. I have to be there at 7:00 pm. It was 6 degrees this morning. It sounds like it will be in the fifties this weekend. Woo Hoo!
Toaster Tech Talk This link is has instructions to turn your toaster into an internet ready bread printer. Cool
The Running Network -- Main Page Sometimes my blogger pop-up works and sometimes it doesn't. I think some websites may supress the pop-up. I am unsure of how they do that. It must be with a javascript. It is about 13 degrees today. We got a far bit of snow this weekend. Neverthe less Bonnie managed to get the chicken coop clean and the llama house. So when it gets warmer ther will be less stink. I had quite a bit of homework. It looks like it takes about 6 hours of work a week for this class. There are no further short cuts, It just takes time and concentration. A lot of new concepts for me. It is exciting to learn new things. There was neat progam about cows last night on PBS. Something as simple as a cow... who woulda thunkit? http://www.pbs.org/wnet/nature/
