We had a beautiful 43 degree sunny Sunday in mid-north Indiana today, so after church, my wife and I drove the 25 miles to Lafayette and had lunch at Chili's. Then we drove to Menards, finding that the merchandise pickup place was way towards the back of the building, "off govt. property." Love that line from South Pacific. Great big box. It barely fit in the trunk of my 28K '91 Seville. Did some more shopping and ended up at WalMart for soft drinks and cat treats. Unloaded the car in shirt sleeves and the lady cat helped me open the box. The cars, and figures tumbled out, and the freight cars were nicely wrapped. I was pleased to find that my building was the Gamer & Thrones building. With my floor (carpet) layout, this will work well in the middle of the two tracks of my version of the Horseshoe Curve. I haven't had time to open it as yet, but that will occupy Monday morning. I think that I really "lucked out" in my surprise box. I hope the rest of you that ordered are similarly pleased with your surprises. I'll add some pictures in the morning.
