Good Morning All. Clear and 36° here, only going up to 55° today. A week of cooler weather in store with rain tomorrow before it gets back into the mid-60's by Friday. Rain yesterday was only .15", only enough to moisten everything. I miss the warm days and the daily dips in the swimming pool every afternoon.
Nothing adventurous today Flo, just a handful of bacon and two over-easy eggs.
Thanks to all who commented on or liked my post yesterday;

Yesterday out in the train shed, I sat at the workbench long enough to finish (?) the mobile home. Finished up the trim on the remaining windows, touched up all of the body paint, and installed the window acetate and venetian blinds.
Oooops! looks like I have forgotten to install the propane tanks. I have a canopy and support poles as well, but I will not install them until I plant the structure on site. I know where it's going, but the site prep will not be done until after the holidays. It's a bigger project than just ground cover etc, I want to paint and ballast the main line immediately behind it before the trailer gets in the way.
Let's revisit the Saw Pit Store. It's a laser-cut wood structure from JL Innovative Designs.
Lots of action here.
Adjacent to it (and part of the kit) is the local "shade tree mechanic".
Guy - Cardstock structures are not too bad for me at least. All of mine are set back on the layout and they offer a variety from all of the usual plastic structures from major manufacturers. With my medium sized layout (two levels at 640 ft² each), I need a large variety of structures.
Regarding the curtains in the Pizzeria, I cannot take credit for them. That structure is a "pre-built" one that I received as a Christmas gift from my daughter last year. I only added the sidewalk so far.
I am liking your truck.
Troy - What the heck is in that chili? It does look good. While I make mine with meat, onions, various peppers and diced tomatoes; in competitive chili cook-offs in Texas, the only solids allowed are meat. All spices and condiments must be ground...not to my liking. I also don't use beans.
Walt - I agree, who says chili is not for breakfast?
Hughie - Wow! you're looking at a lot of action in a small space. I like the tug and barge as well.
Wish that I could comment on politics here. It's interesting out there right now, but it's mostly depressing. Nothing is getting done.
Prayers and good thoughts go out to all who have family illnesses or personal illnesses right now. The holiday season is not a good time to be dealing with them.
Everybody have a great day and an awesome weekend.
