Good Morning All. Drizzle and 38° this morning. Supposed to rain until mid-afternoon, Temperature will not get any warmer and the wind will turn from the north around sunset with a freeze tonight. Snow looks like it is staying north in Oklahoma.
Today is my granddaughter's sixth birthday party, so we will have to get on the road in this mess to visit for the party. Family only affair out of precaution.
Big day today Flo, give me a big stack of blueberry pancakes with a pile of bacon and lots of butter and maple syrup.
Thanks for all of the comments and reactions yesterday;
Tom, Guy, Karl, Phil, Luke, Walt, Gary, Chet, Hughie, Garry, Tom O, Mikey, Greg, Sherrel, Rick, Curt, Patrick, James.
Out in the train shed yesterday, I did some fiddling about. I posted a day or so ago, that I had a place in mind for the trailer on the layout.
This spot is just to the north of a feed store that I posted a week or so ago.
The existing trailer is unfinished right now, it was just "place-holding" the area. I will be moving it over to the workbench for finishing up this week. The whole premise is that this is a family lot with parents living in the big newer trailer and one of their deadbeat offspring living in the old disheveled one.
Here is an overall shot of the area after I removed the structures from the other side of the tracks and painted the existing track where needed.
The track on the upper right will be inside the manufacturing facility.
I wasn't even planning on doing this until after the holidays, but the paint over in my other project (Pizzeria detailing) just wasn't drying quickly enough, and I needed something constructive to do.
Guy - Color on the cafe looks much better than the blue.
Mikey - I considered putting aluminum foil into some of the trailer windows, as that seems to be a common practice in places.
Tom O - Does the KOW part of WKOW honor the Wisconsin dairy industry? No pictures of the beautiful weather lady?
Sherrel - Like the train. Do you have one for all of the other trees?
Curt - I did not make the venetian blinds, They were just printed on the bottom of the instruction sheet for the modeler to cut out. Should be easy to make at home with a computer and printer, as they are just a bunch of horizontal lines somewhat closely spaced. I plan to try it out for some other naked structures on the layout.
Tom - I think that the spacing on those venetian blinds is a bit too wide. I am going to try to make my own for other structures and may replace these later. But that is a winter time project if winter ever really gets here.
I like your light weathering on some cars. I try to do the same with a variety of weathering. I think that I have weathered about 40 of my 212 covered hoppers so far.
Chet - I guess that congratulations are in order for your efforts in restoring all of those cars. Just wish that you would post some pictures.
Yes, the dachshund is a bit overweight, but look at his owner seated on the crate behind him.
Patrick - That's one expensive battery, or maybe it's been some time since I purchased one. You may have missed the snow on the way home, but it's coming to Doo-Dah this morning.
Besides being my granddaughter's birthday, today is the U.S. National Guard Birthday. Oh! And it's also the birthday of Taylor Swift. I never heard any of her music, but she's a pretty young girl.
Everybody have a great Sunday. Keep your distance and be smart.
I'm liking all the switching possibilities! 
Here's one of my fave pictures of some MP power........
