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 Hurricane Watch Net We still have not heard from my brother. I bet they had a rough night. Hopefully, we will hear soon. They may have been in the exact vicinity of where the hurricane was going.
MSNBC - Fla. official: Charley death toll to rise "Bonnie tornado kills three Hurricane Charley arrived a day after Tropical Storm Bonnie came ashore in the Florida Panhandle and quickly moved north. Three people, including a child, were killed and 29 others were injured Friday when a tornado hit a North Carolina trailer park. Charley could move northward, bringing heavy rain to the mid-Atlantic. Across the rest of the East, the remnants of Bonnie were expected to stretch from Florida to northern New York." We have not yet heard from my brother James who headed to Orlando from Brooksville to get away from the storm. That move very well may have made things worse it seems.

Royal Sovereign Shingle Page Today is the day I started working on the new roof. I am going to tear the old roof off and put a fresh 25 year roof down. I originally planned on using the bobcat to get the shingles on the roof, but it didn't quite get make the height I needed and I hate getting out of the machine with the boom in the air like that. So I hoofed 33 bundles up there today. I still have to get more up there after I get the one side done.
