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.

We are enjoying Fall in Duluth GA. The leaves have just started to fall. I will be taking the boat out of teh water soon. I have some improvements to make. New batteries, better lighting, better main power distribution and more. It seems like I just put new batteries in the boat, but it was 6 or 7 years ago. They were not treated very kindly either.

Gracie has her own style of relaxing. This is not an action shot. She was lying there like this.
