Reply to "What did you do on your layout today?"

What did I do on my layout today?  I have two through truss bridges, one an Atlas that another Forum member modified and the other is the Menards, both are single track.  The Atlas needs a bit of gluing since there was minor damage in shipping.  No big deal.  The Menards looks way too tall in comparison, and I had thought of seeing if another Forum member could use it.  Well, cancel that thought.  I was moving it and dropped it on the concrete floor.  It is spare parts now.    I am at least glad it wasn't an engine.  My grip is not what it used to be.  No Lew, I am not posting a photograph in the hopes that since there is no photograph, it didn't happen! 

I did finish setting up some shelves my wife assigned for my use when she was taking her Christmas decorations down.  I was more careful than I was with the bridge.  Now I can have all my engines out between here, the shelves below the layout and a couple on the layout.  I have a couple Menards boxes on the lowest shelf behind the B&O Mike just to try for size.  If I do something similar with wood I could display a number of cars also!!  Also, please note the license plate, cup, and ash tray commemorating the Butler Pullman Standard factory closed in 1982.  Also, the caboose on the Menards box is lettered for Armco Butler Works.
