After record downpours in some spots in the Houston area, more heavy rain is forecast for today as the remnants of Tropical Storm Hermine remain in the region. The rain gradually will taper off later this week, and the weekend is likely to be mostly dry as a strong ridge of high pressure builds above the area and the storm moves further north. Areas south and west in the Houston region were among the hardest areas during the downpours Tuesday. Hobby Airport received 2.83 inches of rainfall, a record of the date, according to the National Weather Service. The old record was 2.67 inches, which was set in 1956. |

| Fascinating information on the gusset. Can't say I ever heard the phrase 'don't bust a gusset' but it would be immediately understood. Gussets can be fiendishly tricky to place in small models and also fiendishly difficult to cut to the right size. Does this Bearcat contain a multitude of gussets? I asked about Mike Midkiff because I thought the construction looked very similar to a Hellcat plan by him that was published in Model Builder many moons ago. I gather he's still going strong. |

| Ha Ha! You made me curious, therefore: In sewing, a gusset is a triangular or square piece of fabric inserted into a seam to add breadth or reduce stress from tight-fitting clothing. Gussets were used at the shoulders, underarms, and hems of traditional shirts and chemises made of rectangular lengths of linen to shape the garments to the body.
Gussets are used in manufacturing of modern tights or pantyhose to add breadth at the crotch seam; these gussets are often made of breathable fabrics for hygiene when wearing pantyhose without panties.
The term "don't bust a gusset" comes from this sewing term; a gusset in this context was usually a piece of fabric sewn between two others to increase mobility or increase the size of the pant waist, the latter being more common in the early 1900s.
Gusset is also an alternate spelling of gousset, a component of late Medieval armor which functions similarly.
The term 'gusset' seems to have fallen into disuse in some quarters in recent times due to a perception that the word may contain sexual connotations. Thus the gusset on pantyhose was changed to the 'butterfly' as to represent the join of one side of the fabric to the other.
