Good Morning All. Foggy and 55° in this part of the world. Weather predictors have suddenly added rain into today's forecast, within the last hour. Must have something to do with the band of showers from Wichita Falls TX that stretches up to Wichita KS that appears to be moving east towards me. Had to make a run into Denton yesterday to make a pick up at Kohl's for my vacationing wife. I was able to pick up a Rx while I was in town so it wasn't all for nought. While driving through the countryside, I did note the number of presidential campaign signs that were still out, and indeed some seem to have been put out since election day. On the way home I made a point of counting and I passed nine residences, all rural, that had them up. They were all for the same pair of candidates.
Those blueberry pancakes that
Patrick is having sure look good to me, I'll have the same with a double helping of bacon.
Thanks for the likes and comments regarding the restaurant tour yesterday;
Guy, Sherrel, Karl, Garry, Ken, Chad, Tom O, Alan, Joe, Curt, Rick, James, Phil, Tom, Walt, Jerry, Patrick.
Another low-level day out in the train shed yesterday. I planted a few of those trees that I made the other day and ran trains. I am reviewing my options on the maintenance yard right now. I don't really have a good route in or out for ground traffic. One possibility is to put in a road between the two structures and cross the tracks into some pastureland. The other is to enter and exit off to the right into an essentially dead end in the staging yard.

The last two eateries on the layout are both pizzerias. This one in Ft Wish is a Blair Line kit, called Pizzaland. It's still in an undeveloped part of the layout. Yes, it is modeled after the real thing in New Jersey somewhere.

Lastly is Don's Pizza. I think that this is either a Smalltown or DPM structure. Thoughts all run together these days.

I'll eventually replace the greenish interior with something I can download off the Internet.
GT - The controversy continues. Not sure why some people refuse to get over it.
Sherrel - Telegram??? Even we had a telephone by then!!!
Troy - All ballast for modeling tends to be too large for its intended scale. Use your leftover WS ballast for gravel roads.
Terry - Get well soon.
Everyone have a great Tuesday. Stay safe. The fog has turned into a mist.
