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.

I finished up my Authentic Leadership class last week. I think it was 15 weeks. It was fun and a learning experience. I got my passport back with more pages sewn in. I had run out of pages. These days it harder and harder to run out of pages, The US doesn't stamp it when you return anymore and there are no stamps as you travel around in the EU community (some exceptions). For the 250 USD it cost you would think they would put the pages in straight. After Easter I am headed to Southern Brazil. It is Fall in the Southern hemisphere. This is a nice time of year in Atlanta, 55 degrees at night 75 during the day. I have been flying, but haven't scheduled the checkride yet. I have decided I like my iPad. It is good when you are looking at property in the car; you can get all the stats right there while you are looking at the property. I have been taking golf lessons. Yes, I know, I can hardly believe it myself. I have decided that Golf is Yoga for Guys.
