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.

Perverts in TSA Wichita

I was in Kansas most of this week. The TSA have a training center in Wichita. They are well known in my circles for physical molestation. Males often receive a "groin anomaly" check. I clearly told the TSA agent that he did not have my permission to touch me there in private or in public. He did it anyway. It really is that bad. I suspect they truly are perverts. Below is a pic of a very weird "tribine" machine that makes no sense at all. Also, a pic of the new canopies under construction over the terminal drive up area at Atlanta airport. Last week I heard of a former co-worker who died last week. He was 50. He was in good health. After a lot of speculation on our part we heard that his son has been arrested for his murder. mankatofreepress ---Lifted text follows : Text lifted follows: MANKATO — The Minnesota State University student accused of murdering his father reportedly stood to receive $500,000 from a life insurance policy and lied to police about his whe...

Generally a quiet week and weekend in Georgia. I put a new main tire on the plane and worked on the current remodeling project. All the electric is done. Sewer drain and water pipes, and insulation is done. I am hanging the 20 sheets of drywall on the walls. It will be done soon and on to the next project. Since the walls were opened up facing the garage, I put a 50 amp outlet in for a fast charger for the car. I don't need a fast charger, but it wont hurt anything either. Electric vehicles are the future. We have been really struggling getting my new truck registered. I bought it in November and I still don't have the title. I have learned a whole lot more than I wanted to about Ohio titles, Gwinnett county GA DMV and incompetence and belligerent behavior at Huntington National Bank in Ohio. Dozens of phone calls and screw up after screw up. The bank told me that the GA DMV is wrong and they don't know what they are doing. Pretty much unbelievable.
