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 am putting the final touches on the master bathroom. This remodel included replacing the jacuzzi (sold it on Craigslist) with a fiberglass shower unit and added a bathtub. All new drywall, insulation, electric and plumbing. Interestingly, I didnt have to move the toilet. I incorporated LED lighting in the base moulding. This is the first time I installed an electric heated floor under the porceline tiles. Also included heated fog free mirror, and high-end plumbing fixtures (including a German temp sensing shower faucet). I certainly feel I could have done better. But at least it is done.
