Every year as the Memorial Day weekend approaches hundreds of thousands of people begin gathering in Indiana for a great tradition. The crowds gather and the partying begins. Then God looks down and says "what is this commotion that goes on every year in that place? The place is called Indiana so it must be a rain dance!" And the rain began on Wednesday, and continued until the weekend. This year the Indy 500 ran on Sunday without much interference from the rain, but half of Saturday was rained out, and the observatory area was a muddy mess. Nevertheless, the three day weekend allowed a lot of progress and we put in the second floor, cut all the posts to the correct level and added the beams at the tops of the walls and for the rails, and the rest of the wall frame, and put in a bunch of wall trim to bring the walls out as far as the joist support boards at the bottom.
