Commercial Items Identified on my Commute

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 got some antibiotics for my cold. I am feeling so much better. I didn't even realize how bad I was feeling.

I am taking a three day weekend. I will be going to the scrap yard, geting parts for power equipment and mowing.

I had some guy show up to buy the 4 wheeler he bought off me on ebay. It was easy for me to empathize with his 4 hour drive each way. He got lost in my neighborhood. I live so far off the beaten path GPS doesn't even work. The mapping is wrong around here.

The llamas really kicked back yesterday. They were just sunning themselves groving on the scene.

Friday I had a flying lesson and my instructor and I agree that I have made great progress. I have turned a corner. There was a fly-in to Greene as well. So after my lesson we went over to the restaurant and talked aviation. I realized at that point of how nice a place it is to live around here. The word perfect came to mind.
