Got up early this morning and Scott and I went to the airport to pick up Chuck. Took a couple of great pictures of both Scott and Chuck standing in front of some tall Sagauro cacti.

Chuck commented about how bloody hot it was. I've been here almost a week and feel like a native. It was only in the low 90s. Almost cool.

We stopped for breakfast at the Grill and had way too much food. Chuck and I opted for The Haystack. A platter of french fries topped with a burger patty and two eggs, all covered with gravy. Scott had what looked like an entire loaf of bread fried up as french toast.

Yum.

We got to Patrick's around 130 to pick up the cars needed for the shoot and caravanned to the set - a lost in time 1950's style motel made up of little bungalows.

Three of the units were rented for the shoot. One for shooting, one for Michelle and one for the crew. None had air conditioning. Instead they had a swamp cooler and considering that the temperature was north of 100, they did a pretty good job.

The shooting room was really small and only had room for four or five people. I was selected as one of those four or five. We shot all of the motel room shots that involved Michelle and at the end of the evening she was wrapped for the movie.

It was great to have her in the picture. Watching her work was like watching a classic actress perform in a 1940s film. It was great.

We wrapped around 11 and struck the set by 1130. We caravanned back to Patrick's with the old cars.

Patrick needs to return the Buick to its owner tomorrow morning and wants Scott to meet him at his house at 630am. Scott took Patrick's Mercedes so I wouldn't have to wake up just to haul him over there. I'm really grateful.

Chuck has been up for almost 24 hours, changed climates and suffered some mild dehydration. I'm guessing he wants to get some sleep...
