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.

Building Moving Day

In working on the church Thriftshop we decided to move a small building. After a couple of attempts I got it done. We had to take the building out onto Holcomb Bridge Road. Don't tell any one and I aplologize for the extra traffic congestion it caused. We used some interesting equipment made by Cardinal manufacturing to move small buildings.

Snow in Atlanta

It is snowing in Atlanta. It is pretty close to the forecasts. Best not to drive for sure, not because of my driving skills, but other's lack of skills. It is almost funny. Living in Upstate NY, especially in the rural hilly area I can appreciate what we did on a normal basis in NY, other folks not so much.
