Good Morning All. Overcast and 44°. Radar shows that it's raining here, but I just made a trip to the woodpile and didn't feel any. But I expect that I will see some before too long.
I'll start the day with a pair of sunny side up eggs and a plateful of sausage links this morning Flo.

What the heck do in the train shed yesterday? Well I added some of those trees that I made Monday to more fully enhance the trailer scene. Just need a couple more to shield the trailers from the ROW.
I started the new feed store kit by taking out and examining the parts.
Added the stripwood roof supports.
Later after the wind died down I went outside added primer to both sides. Too late for a picture but it wouldn't be too interesting any way.
Meanwhile since the girlie pictures have elicited so much comment, Here's a few more.
Here's one with Sherrel in it!
A couple of girls looking for dates outside the Coco Club.
And even girls have hobbies
Jesse - Get well soon. The NMRA gauge is an invaluable tool, although I don't have as much of a need for it anymore. I still need it to check wheel gauge on locos when I overhaul them though. Used it all of the time when I was still using plastic wheels on the freight cars...they always seemed to slip out of gauge.
Joe - Bet that you're glad that your wiring project isn't as complex as some of your recent prototype pictures!
Karl -
Hmmmm, lotsa legs in Willieland!
Ya gotta have legs to stand up!
Guy - I have been sold on terminal strips for many years.
Mo - Dad must be in real good shape if he didn't have a heart attack when that picture was taken!
Hughie - Great scene.
Jerry - I guess that I am spoiled in my corner of rural America. My Internet has come from my local phone company located in a town of 1500 folks, for about 30 years (mid-1991). There has never been limits and everyone was upgraded to DSL around 2004. We now have fiber optic service (courtesy of a grant from Uncle Sam to upgrade rural services) and everything happens almost instantly. Never raised their prices and the upgrades were all at no cost except for the new router/wifi when it switched to fiber optics. Interesting sidenote. One of my neighbors who had dropped his landline about ten years ago, had to pay for the fiber optic service to his house. Those of us who had maintained our landlines received the installation for free. The neighbor just couldn't keep up reading stuff on his phone's small screen and he was forever running over his data limit.
Patrick - Good luck with and enjoy the "new" truck.
Speaking of legs, I have a leg of lamb thawing for supper tonight. Got it on sale last week at Winco.
Today is National Cheese Lovers Day. I fit into that category very much. Wife and I actually have
over 20 different varieties in the fridge right now, and I consume at least three varieties a day. She eats more, but some of hers are real niche varieties that I don't often indulge in.
So, everybody have a great day. Be safe. It's still not raining yet.
