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 has been a while since I last posted. I put the electric car project on hold for a while. We were having some issues with the male cats (Amos and Archie) so they are no longer in the house. The female cat has a tumor (Amy) on her head so she goes to the vet tonight. The chicken that was sick (broken leg) is all better. That was the first chicken we saved. Often times when they get sick the other chickens will kill the sick one. The chicken culture is harsh, but almost understandable from a physical standpoint. I mean if the sick one is killed it is a flock purification effort. The Arian chicken flock as it were. Chicken Eugenics in action. They are very mean to each other thats for sure.

Today it is the 50s. Last week it was 10 below zero (maybe colder). Tommorow it is supposed to be in the 60s!.

Here is a picture of me with my new non-beard look at work.

And it all goes on.
