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.
Chazd's (Charles Dowdell's) News Burps I took half a day off today to try and coordinate the new electrical service entrance disconnect, inspection, and connect. The way things are looking. I may have to use my generator for a day or so. The schedule is not working out well. It is a hassle, but doing the work myself saves thousands of dollars. Life is exciting today. I believe there is opportunity. Finding it can be sometimes be tiresome.
Asilomar Institute for Information Architecture I have been visiting the Information Architecture listserves, wikis and other e-lands regarding information architecture.

weather.com - Local Recreation Page Jeff and I went turkey hunting on Saturday and Sunday morning. We did not get anything. I am moving forward on the new electrical service entance work. I am using a Square D load center in the barn as the load splitter between the barn and the house. It only has 8 circuits for the barn, but it has a load bypass feature that feeds the house service entrance. I ended up buying a whole spool of 4/0 aluminum cable at Home Depot. I need to take back what I did not use, about 190 feet. The 500 foot spool cost about $600.00. It is moving ahead. Hopefully I can get stuff buried pretty soon. It is a hassle trying to get around the ditches all the time.
