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 Normal Commute Between Duluth GA and Berkshire NY

We are back from Vacation. This time to the farm in NY and back. The land swap with my neighbor is complete. I now have three entrances to the farm property. I am getting someone to put in the driveway on the most recent aquisition. It was a lot of driving. I trailered a boat north and another boat south for some new friends. Boat trafficing we call it. We stopped in Washington DC (with a boat on a trailer) to see my Aunt and Sister. It was a good visit.
