Worst Weather in the World

I flew up to Maine to see my sister and cousins for a few days. As part of the trip we went up Mount Washington in NH. We went up on the Cogged Railway. It's A unique old vehicle system that only uses a large cog underneath the engine hooked into a ladder type of rack on the tracks all the way to the top. The modern engine uses a 600HP John Deere driving a hydraulic pump which in turn drives several hydraulic motors turning the large cog. Mt Washington is known for the extreme cold and highest wind in the world. Yes, the world. That was not the case when we went up. The winds were 3 MPH and the temp was 62 degrees. the highest ever temp ever recorded was 72 degrees and a 3 MPH wind is generally unheard of. So, the weather was quite kind for us.

Another week has gone by. I cancelled my November trip to Europe. The only real travel I have planned for this month is NY and Wichita Kansas. In December I will be getting down to Argentina and Brazil. I have about 4 cities to get to in South America.

I joined a really fancy fitness club. It is probably more of a resort than a fitness club. Let's see how that goes.

The answer on how I got though the broken key incident is: I went into a store and bought some super glue and I glued the key together. The glue worked perfectly on retrieving the broken bit of key. The torque on the key was handled by the shank.

This morning I went out to LZU for a EAA pancake breakfast and hanger fly. I wasn't disappointed. I also looked at the plane that I might buy fractional ownership.
