Yesterday was a brutal 93 with 89% humidity. I was power washing my deck, mostly in the shade. I quit around 3 when I ran out of shade. Pool breaks helped. I hand-watered my patio pots. We had a big t-storm cone through around 1 AM that scared the cat. Everything got a good soaking. Today is 72 at 6 AM... back to power washing while the sun is hiding.

I saw this behemoth when out and about yesterday. It had its own zip code.

Any issue telling them apart (as in the striped ones...) ? They must be a lot of fun.

Another hot one starting up. I need to hand water a few things before it gets too hot. Yesterday topped off at around 91.

There was a TV detective show, Honey West starring Anne Francis from 1965 to 1966, IIRC. She drove a Cobra (and had an Ocelot cat named Bruce... who bit people on the set...) around LA. So I built the same kit when AMT brought it out. I painted it with an AMT green lacquer spray paint.

A few of Brie washing up yesterday.

72 and sticky by 6 am. 95% humidity, I am about to put the AC on.

'72 Torino spotted outside of a restaurant. Triple black... had to be a furnace inside.

If she doesn't have predators to fend off, outside of loose dogs, she is probably okay for a while.

Can you find a rescue group in your area? Just a thought.

It rained late Wednesday into early Thursday, the high was 73 but still sticky. I'm close to a major highway and a piece of pavement on the express lanes buckled on Wednesday, it was fixed yesterday. Today is overcast and 63, the weekend should be tolerable.

I use Ace Hardware paints sometimes. They tend to hold up pretty well.

Yesterday was the hottest so far, 101 on the deck. Humidity around 84%... I did my watering very early. Also some weeding. Whatever is happening, the corn and cucumbers are digging it. Today, 80 and rain which has not cooled things off much. I have to put the air on soon.

I use Tamiya TS-68 often, also Vallejo lack primer and even Mr. Surfacer 1500 black primer. The TS paints don't hold up to much handling. Those I'll shoot some matte clear over.

Glass is one of those things to think about very early in a build. Test fit if course. I usually make up tabs inside the body so it doesn't skate around.
