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 is summer, or close enough, to blog. I am too busy having a life. I worked on the barn (foundation), worked on the pig water, worked on the tractor, the subaru and took Douglas's new Honda Insight for a drive. The neighbor came over in a donkey cart. The jeep crapped out and now it is fixed. The chickens aren't laying musch. The llamas are good, but artemis still has mites. I have to get some radios together for a buyer. I have many photos in queue to post. Stop back.
