Good Morning All. Overcast and 34°, warming up to 54° later today when the sun makes an appearance. Radar shows that it is raining here, but the weather rock and back porch show otherwise.
Make that another on the sausage, gravy and biscuits this morning Flo.
Thanks to all who liked or commented on yesterday's posting;

Yesterday was both good and not so good here on the SFW estate.
Good - The traditional Prime Rib Roast before.
After - better!
And then the not so good.
Not one, but two kidney stones passed yesterday morning, about an hour apart. Saving them for the urologist. Since I am a rural country fellow, all I had to do was pick them up off the ground. Thankfully not as large as the one
James just had removed. Not painful, but extremely discomforting for a few hours.
No train shed time yesterday, darn! No time this morning for the year 2020 in review either. Dammit! I'm retired, I should have all the time in the world!
Jesse - I like your ideas for MR II with the law firm, post office and diner. They go well in this type of block. Here's my version.
The corner contains a natural foods store on the ground level and professional offices on the second level. There's residential quarters on the third floor. Next door, the Western Auto store occupies both levels while a gym anchors the other end. Another residence is above the gym.
Close up of the corner.
On the MR IV that you posted the other day with your thoughts on the police station, etc; I went with the included interiors when I did mine.
From L-R, Photo Studio, Hardware Shop and Bicycle Shop, since they all fit well with the locale.
I like the Merchant's Row structures. You can't completely credit Walther's for them, though, They were all originally issued by Magnuson Models back in the 80's before Walther's bought them out.
Troy - Thanks for the cinnamon rolls yesterday, even though I wasn't hung over!
Mikey - I went out and measured those drink cups at the pizzeria that you asked about, I made them with .040" styrene rod, not the .020" that I originally posted yesterday.
but 9:00 pm is the new midnight.
Then I must be a trail blazer because that's been the case in my life for over 45 years!
Sherrel -
Looks a bit like DDSS to me ... or is it SSDD?
Looks like SOS to me!
Tom O - That's going to be one hell of a complex there when finished.
David - Glad to read that you finally were able to get someone else up on that roof of yours .
Everybody have a great day. Stay safe.
