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.

The story of inhabitant in Kunugiyama Here is a photo journal of my new commute. Every other day I catch a ride from a neighbor. He lives 2 miles away through the woods. I drive my jeep through my property to the edge of it. I get out of the jeep, walf about a hundred feet to the county park trail. I then walk about a mile through the trails to my waiting ride. It is different and good.
The Hawaii Five-O Home Page More information about Hawaii Five Oh than you ever thought could be concentrated. I love this stuff. Lets all get lives... or actually let us all not have lives but share our obscure and quirky findings with everybody else! Celebrate the bizzare and obsessive/compulsive behavior in all of us! Here I serve up a 16 MB file for the theme song. This could be a wait for the dial up folks. I thought the fidelity was worthwhile.
Victrola Music on Cassette and CD Early 1900's Recordings I was thinking that I should list something like the best ten musical pieces in my life so far. Of course, this list changes, but I thought it would be neat to list the way I see it today. So here it is: The following are not in order. I have listed the artist(s) or the the composer, sorry if I have not given appropraite credit. Tough. Tchaikovsky: Violin Concerto in D Major Satn Getz: The Girl From Ipanema Patsy Cline: That Wonderful Someone Thin Lizzy: The Cowboy Song Frank Sinatra: My Way Pink Floyd: Pigs on the Wing Elvis Presely: In the Ghetto Solte: The Planets Morten Stevens: Theme to Hawaii Five-OH Art Farmer: Killer Joe Something must be wrong. I don't really have any devil music there?

Wilderness Resource List Don't have a large cart? Use the improved SUV (Super Under-utilized Vehicle). It also comes with a great pine scent package.
