Good Monday Morning Everyone. Clear, almost sunny and 75° here on the SFW estate this morning. Weather guessers have changed the monotonous sunny, hot and dry forecast by throwing in a thunderstorm chance for Wednesday. Days have been a little cooler lately, low-90's temperature wise, so outdoor stuff isn't as stifling.
Scrambled eggs and a big pile of sausage patties for me today Flo.
Thanks for the comments and likes yesterday:

I am pretty much down to the finish line on the layout cleanup project. Finished dusting off all structures up to the packing plant, Sears and the following two railroad served industries.
Magic Pan Bakeries is a Walther's structure that I have added an additional tank to, for vegetable oil storage.

The four skinny tanks are for flour and sugar.
Then I have the Whitewater Brewery.

Whitewater is a DPM "Gold Series" kit that I expanded with DPM modular walls to make a much larger structure.
In front of the two businesses is a small "Trading Post", across the road is a Chinese restaurant.

It is one of the four signs available for the Blair Line laser-cut model of "Tourist Trap". Yep! That's a stuffed and mounted bear on the porch. I also have an Indian totem pole somewhere to add.
Tom O - Regarding the Walther's sale items. When there was a more local LHS to me, the owner told me that as a Walther's distributor, he would always meet any Walther's sale prices. They would then rebate to him the difference.
Joe -
You got that right. And who's left that is not represented? The kids!
Mikey, Joe, Garry, Curt - Yes the Jersey inference is there intentionally. Pizzaland is a spitting image of the real thing as seen on The Sopranos, and the Hoffa Cement truck is definitely in reference to Jimmy. Just don't have room for the Meadowlands.
David - Those sides of beef are supposed to be hanging on a rail on the loading dock behind the reefers. Just haven't figures out how Walther's attached them.
Justin - Nice haul. That will keep you busy for a while.
James - Hope that you have access to a hydraulic log-splitter. That stuff would be a bitch to do manually.
Fifty one years ago today, Neil Armstrong made his famous extraterrestrial walk on the moon. Where were you?
Everybody have a great day.
