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.

The new year is started off pretty well. I have to admit that parking my sports car in my hanger after I pull out the plane to go flying was a great experience.

We took this photo of the Ugly products at one of the Asian markets close by in Duluth. I guess they are trying to say "seconds".

I was in Tampa for a day or so, this week I will be in Detroit for the day.

I finally got around to plotting the flight log from one of our flights in Hawaii. It was 174NM. Very memorable.

I have been talking with some folks going on an Expedition to an Antarctica Island called Heard island. Very interesting.

We are looking forward to and planning our party on March 8th in Duluth. It will be good to see people.
