Good Morning All. Light rain and 60°, looks like it will continue for a couple more hours. The forecast actually called for violent storms with hail and tornadoes to pass through, but other than some thunder and lightning around 0200, nothing more than light rain since then, about a half inch in the rain gauge right now. Hard to actually see with a flashlight in the dark!
Thank you to everyone who either commented or liked yesterday's progress post on Ramone's;

Blueberry waffles and a double handful of bacon this morning Flo. Let me switch to apple juice today.
I continued to make progress on Ramone's out in the train shed yesterday. I added weathering powders to the remaining two walls and started adding crates and barrels to the loading docks.
This is about half of the Hydrocal detail castings, the rest will be placed on the ground after I get the building planted on the layout. I still have additional stuff to add, compressed gas cylinders, pallets, a forklift from Walther's, and of course figures. I did build a stairway to add to the front of the structure, but it is unfinished right now.
The long tab is for attaching it to the underside of the loading dock since there isn't much gluing surface on the stairs themselves.
Steve J - You're right about the wait to get the new card. I had only one compromised debit card which cost nothing to me, but took a week to get here. My last AMEX card was lost in the mail somewhere, but they FedEx'ed the new one overnight! Since I always pay off that card every month, I never accrue interest charges but still get cash back every year. I couldn't use travel points anyway.
Mikey -
Willie- you need a couple sunbathers laying on towels, of the female gender.
Just don't weather those bodies.
You mean like this?
Today is National American Beer Day, so I guess that I will have a couple of Sam Adams' Octoberfest brews instead of my usual Heineken.
Everybody have a great day. Stay safe and dry.
