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.

It is now pollen season in North Georgia. I am sure glad I don't have an allergy to the stuff. It gets everywhere and piles up like yellow powdered sugar. Me and the guys went to the range the other night to finally try out my 45 Caliber Kimber Pro-Crimson Carry II. It is going to take a while to get it broken in. There are quite a few ranges around. Shootin' is a family event or a opportunity to meet girls in this area. Kimber Pro Carry Crimson II

"Today I will do what others won't, so tomorrow I can accomplish what others can't." -- Jerry Rice, Football Player I have been reflecting as usual. I think it is an interesting practice we all have with labeling ourselves. I mean the one or two word lables, not the extended descriptions. the question comes up in our own head simply? "What are You?" Usually, it has mostly to do with how we spend our core hours. I have been through many. Student, Technician, Engineer, Tech Writer, Manager, Senior Manager, Global Manager and today Businessman. Think of the above quote both in an organizational sense as well as a personal sense.
