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.

There has been a lot of activity lately. Spring gets that way every year. I need to get up in the air this week. I took possession of my Mom's rocking chair. The story goes that the rocker has been in the family and my ancestors brought it over on the Mayflower. Anyway, It is very old and has had lots or repairs over the years. It is an interesting design and looking at it makes me feel comfortable. Sometimes "stuff" can do that. Although, "stuff" doesn't often do it for me anymore.

My time management skills will really being put to the test soon. There is so much to do on so many fronts. We had a good great Easter. We have had some great hikes and I have been flying solo. It is a profound experience flying around in the heavens by yourself. It puts everything in such a different perspective. Having the time to fly during the day has been a real blessing.
