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.

I am gaining on the fence. These pics were taken Saturday. You can see the llama house is moved and the holes are done. I rented a 35 pound demolition hammer to clear out what I thought was shale in the ones I couldn’t get the auger through. In a few I did find however some concrete slab from the old house. That made the job go a little slower since I was cutting through 8 inches of concrete with the small hammer. I would have rented a 60 pound jack hammer if I had known. I am taking Monday off. I will have it ready for animals on Monday I hope. Some tweaks will be left and the gates to make, but the animals will have more room.

I stopped over at the Labar's the other night to take some pics of some horses (hor-sees’). This little guy is about 4 days old.
