Thank you, Dennis, Richie, RJ, Dave!
Dennis, I'm glad to give you some inspiration to carry on. As anyone who followed this thread can see, I had the same issue wanting to get settled on the changes/additions to benchwork and track before moving forward with scenery. Sometimes someone else on the Forum gives me that little nudge as well after seeing what he is doing. I'll be looking forward to seeing how you scenic your nice layout,
RJ and Dave, sometimes I have a good idea of how I want to scenic, but on this layout I have to make so many compromises because of lack of space, those ideas have to be changed drastically. After 10 years in O gauge, I still think like an HO modeler. Dave, if you mean what material I want to use for the water feature, I still have no sure idea. I'm thinking the poured epoxy like Woodland Scenics would be the best choice so you can see through the shallow water to stones below. The painted water surface and shiny coats painted on top seem to me to be best suited for deep water, lakes and harbors. I do have to include my dad and his friend both catching trout, that I do know. 
Dad's friend actually fished this area of West Virginia when he worked for Westinghouse at Mount Storm power station which my printed backdrop represents. He actually got me the application in 1976, which after submitting it, I ended up getting hired to work in Richmond first.
Richie, I know the problem, the doctor forgot to give me the remote when he replaced my knee!! 
RJ, I took my dad to get a shot in his knee 3 or 4 years ago. That was all he needed!! He's 91 now. The shots didn't do diddly for me.
On to the knees. As with cataract surgeries, I was surprised at how many folks had to have them done in their early 60s like me. My replacement was doing well at my 2-year checkup at the end of October; right before I went on Medicare. Over the winter, it has started little popping and gritting and is more painful. I just scheduled a visit with the orthopedic the week after next to see what that is all about, if anything. Monday, I do have to get a myelogram and CT scan on my lower back to see why the sciatic nerve in my other leg still gives me grief. The lumbar fusion was supposed to fix that. Oh well, like I told the back orthopedic last week, I'm glad they pushed me to retire a couple years earlier than I was planning. I don't have to worry about hassles missing so much work, or just slacking while there.
