I always forget about the month change. I usually don't remember until the previous month gets locked out.

Oops, sorry I was late for the cookout.

Better late than never, as long as there is still food to go around!

Show me folks having a picnic or cookout

The dog can't understand why the burgers need to be cooked.

Looks like the lawn could use some Scott's Turf Builder. It's faded badly since I laid it down about 15 years ago. A little TLC is on the to-do list.

More cookouts or picnics please.

People in a boat on the lake in the mountains. People celebrating Oktoberfest on the shore behind them.

Please show me a boat or ship.

Please show me figures (people or animals).

 
I have very few populated scenes. I have 100 Presier unpainted figures that I haven't gotten around to painting. I do have this one scene with lots of people. Crabapple Cove's man made beach is a popular place in the summer resort town of Willoughby.

Something from the petroleum industry, please.

This propane tanker was running a little hot, so it was dropped off on this siding and is waiting for repair.

Please show me another tank car.

More trucks. Big, little, or in beween.

I made this truck inspired by the Jim Croce song Speedball Tucker, "Got a broke down rig..." A 1935 Mack and a Walthers trailer with home made decals and a lot of weathering

More old trucks, please
