Left the house about 5:15AM and spent most of yesterday in a Weyerhaeuser Papermill in Plymouth, NC. I find papermills very interesting. They bring in fresh cut trees and from that, make nearly everything, power, lumber and paper. And papermaking is a neat process. The paper is made at about 30 miles per hour and 33,000 gallons per minute, on these machines. I was standing on top of a pulp "chest" ( a tile exterior tall tank containg paper pulp) about 350 feet above the ground. I had a great view of the Albemarle Sound and could see the ocean about 50 miles away.
BTW, I did sell some pumps too. They are for adding color to the paper.
Today, I am at NutraSweet in Augusta, GA
