What are you plans this weekend. (Long weekend in the States.)

 

 

You might be an engineer if:

 

You look forward to Christmas, so you can put together the kids' toys.

You think that people yawning around you are sleep deprived.

You see a good design, and have to change it.

You spent more on your calculator than you did on your wedding ring.

Since you're from Houston, you may want to pack a winter coat. At 9:00 am, it can still be in the low 50°'s (~10° C) in the morning. The high is supposed to be around 70° (21° C).

 

I'll put some extra bacon on the fry pan for you!!

From minute 10 and 20 seconds the presentation video

It will be an exceptional stage with the double climb (and of course double descent) from Monte Grappa.

 

Here a bit of the history of the mountain that gives its name to my city after the events of World War I.

We also had the famous American Red Cross boys including Hemingway to whom a museum is also dedicated inside a villa where he was housed.

While what happened in September 1944 led to my city being awarded the Gold Medal for Military Valor (here unfortunately I cannot find a site in English as well, but you can easily translate it)

Ended up being a misty 57 degree air temperature. The pavilion was open so we ended up using that. Just under 30 in attendance. Several people backed out do to weather. A good time was had by those who attended.
