While the sun is blistering everything in sight our
intrepid Sandpiper Construction Crew bravely struggles on. 
Garland & Bill, being up on ladders and thusly dressed for the occasion,
Garland & Bill, being up on ladders and thusly dressed for the occasion, show off their hammering skills.
Did I say "hammering?"
Did I say "hammering?"The noonday sun must have taken it's toll.
Mayhem was narrowly averted.
The cool, ahem, "head" of Gary brought peace to the construction site.
Head Honcho.

I removed the egg from the fridge early in the day to warm up to room temp. Then pre-heated the skillet in the sun for several hours.
When it reached 142 I couldn't wait anymore, so sprayed the pan with non-stick spray

Temp dropped right away to the mid 130's.And stayed there.... After an hour and a half of not much happening I covered the pan with Saran Wrap...trying to make an oven, don'tcha know?

to lower in the sky and I got bored. 
The finished product.
The finished product. The yolk did cook along the edge of the temp probe.
And it's kinda hard to tell but the yolk did, hmmm, firm up a bit.
All in all, not a huge success.
Next time maybe I'll bake cookies in the car.
