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.

Back from several days in Minnesota. Cold! I am not accustomed to the cold anymore. It really does happen. I am sure I could easily get used to it again, I guess.

I drove some large equipment in MN. This one even had my name on the front. It was good trip. It felt good to be working with Engineers.

It is warm in Atlanta today. The tops are down on the convertibles. We had a chance to take some nice walks. The picture in the dark is Douglas after all the big snows up in NY. It looks like it is still coming.
