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 have been listening to much Reggaeton music. I particularly like this The Maluma blockbuster with the mix of Spanish and Portuguese. I have also added the "original" in Portuguese. The Maluma video was shot on one of the highest buildings in Sao Paulo. I have added a pic we took when we were in Sao Paulo a couple years back.

One of the springs broke on the garage door this week. I found replacement springs (wholesale) replaced them and was testing the door and the whole mess just exploded. It was a humbling experience. I could not fix it by myself. I had to call a professional. The new 1/2 bath laundry room is finally nearing completion. I think I have been working on it for about 8 months. I am ready to move on to another project already.
