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 have a quick trip up north for a couple of days (leaving tonight). The first couple of weeks in Oct I will be in Europe. I am planning a weekend in England. I'm not sure what I am going to do, but I will have a car. This will be my first right-drive car experience. I will also be going to France and Finland.

I am getting in the air in a couple hours with a new instructor. I need to finish up with my license before all the prereqs start expiring..

Its all about the tractors. The open window pic needs a clever caption.

How do you expect me fly this thing; I can't get the window shut right?
