An epic trip - 6-hours, 30-miles from Ouray to Lake City, Colorado - with rough rocky patches, switchbacks, shelf roads, and sweeping vistas all the way, reaching almost 13,000 feet at the summit. A Jeep Badge of Honor trail for good reason.
From TrailsOffroad.com: In the late 1800’s, miners started digging for gold, silver, lead and other ore in the San Juan Mountains. They needed a way to get people and the ore out to the nearby towns. Those roads left by the long-abandoned mines are now some of the most famous off-road trails in the books. Engineer Pass, a 30-mile trail, is one of them and is part of a trail now known as the Alpine Loop.
There are multiple mine ruins to view and explore the grounds of along the way including the Hard Tack Mine and the Michael Breen Mine.
Mile after mile provides new and more amazing views of Colorado and the San Juan mountains. Oh Point and the official summit have breath-taking panoramas of the mountains.
This trail goes well above the timberline at just over 12,900’. With the altitude comes stunning views of the mountains to the north including the Uncompahgre, Coxcomb, Wetterhorn and Wildhorse mountain peaks. The view is so expansive at Oh Point that on a very clear day, you might be able to see all the way to Utah if you turn your eyes to the west.

Oh my god! I felt a nostalgic tear come to my eye (not really) when these guys passed by because when I was in first year living in residence at U of T, the engineer's band (bnad?) would march down the street at around midnight and annoy/amuse the crap out of everyone. Now that I'm living at home, I miss the eccentricities of U of T on campus life. And engineers always make me laugh. ALSO, they were chanting things that they said during Frosh Week, and I totally knew the retaliating frosh cheers, but I (thankfully) kept my mouth shut.
For the sixth consecutive year, engineers and staff from Pima County’s Transportation Department will teach kids how to make asphalt cookies during the “Discovering Engineering at the Mall” event on Saturday, Feb. 20 from 10:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. The event, held at Foothills Mall, 7401 N. La Cholla Blvd., brings together engineers from across the region to increase awareness and appreciation for the profession as part of Engineers Week, Feb. 21-27.
For background, I am a military engineer and the engineer castle is a commonly used symbol of military engineers. The castle used in the US is derived from the US Army Corps of Engineers and it has since proliferated into other branches and nations’ engineer corps. On of the more interesting versions I have seen is a Japanese-style pagoda engineer castle used by a Japanese engineer unit.
I have been thinking about how to build a worthy version of the engineer castle out of LEGO for a few years, and then one day I saw a build using cheese wedges turned vertically on a stud-faced brick combined with a hinge plate to create 45°-angled wall corners. This is when I had a “no kidding” moment and my idea finally evolved into something interesting. However, I ended up moving again and the idea was shelved for a few more years until last March. That is when I finally downloaded Stud.io and started exploring its capabilities, as I had only used LDD previously. It was not long before I imported my castle files, and over the next two weeks I started crafting the design, building small section mockups to test the building techniques. I luckily had about half of the parts on hand, but I put off buying the rest of the parts until this past December; they all arrived in January, and completed the build in early February. One of my favorite details is the inclusion of the various engineer tools and capabilities represented on the back side.
As a LEGO hobbyist and as a combat engineer, I am excited about the build as a whole and being able to see a digital design transition into actual bricks was extremely satisfying, and I of course had a great time building this. Enjoy.

Northern class operated by AT & SF Railroad and made by the Baldwin Locomotive Company in 1944. Because of wartime restrictions some of the parts were heavier to offset the lack of high-tensile alloys. As a result of the substitutions, these locomotives became the heaviest passenger locomotives ever built. Retired in 1959. [credit]

The Order is the roster of engineers in the United States who have participated in an Engineers' Ring Ceremony and who have accepted in public the "Obligation of an Engineer".
The Ring Ceremony is the public induction of candidates into the Order of the Engineer, during which the engineer candidates formally accept the Obligation of an Engineer and receive a stainless steel ring to be worn on the fifth finger of the working hand as a symbol.
I seen a similar pic online and decided I wanted to try it and put my own spin on it.
The ring is my Engineers ring, given to BASc students in Canada when they graduate University. The book is actually my electric motors textbook from probably 14 years(!) ago

My best recollection is that Tamburro had been getting crashed for most of the game. After this rush, and the shoving of one of his teammates into the net, he decided he'd had enough and leapt onto the offending offensmen. I'm not sure who they were playing here. My first guess with this kind of mele would always be Clarkson, but it looks like the wrong uniform.

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Los Angeles District Arizona-Nevada Area Office hosted a Business Opportunities Open House March 17.
The event featured morning and afternoon sessions with two training opportunities; successful proposal preparation, and job site safety.
"We want contractors that are capable, safe and do great work," said Col. Kirk Gibbs, commander of the LA District. "If they can submit better bids, we're going to get a lot better work and our projects will have better partnerships."
The day's intent was to acquaint business owners and representatives with how the Corps operates. It was also an excellent opportunity for District program managers and division chiefs to learn about contractor capabilities.
"I always fall back on relationship building," said Gibbs. "Don't use the word client, use the word partner. Because we can't do it without you, you can't do it without us."
Brig. Gen. Mark Toy, commander of the USACE South Pacific Division, spoke about a change in the management of Veterans Administration projects and what it means to the Division.
"What we're going to do here in our region," said Toy. "We're going to run that Program Management Office, right here in Phoenix, Arizona."
The District’s Small Business mission is "to sustain the Corps as a premier organization in developing small businesses and maximizing opportunities to participate in federal procurement.” It is a mission that the District excels at, having placed second out of all USACE districts in the Service-Disabled and Veteran-Owned Small Business categories for fiscal year 2012.
"Last year, $358 million in total contracts awarded," said Gibbs. "Of that, $213 million with small businesses, we're very proud of that and we hope to have a bigger year coming up."
