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.

Angie and I are back from a few days in Jamaica. It was the first time we every stayed in an all-inclusive resort. We did some side trips, but mostly chilled. We got back into Atlanta on 4:00 PM on thanksgiving. We put the 14 pound frozen turkey (with olive oil, some white wine, a tied bough of tarragon, salt and pepper) in the pressure cooker and it was done in 1 hour 15 minutes set on 10 PSI steam. It really is a great way to cook a turkey well and fast. Its a lot safer than a deep fry as well.
