When you're harvesting squash like these, cut the squash from the vines with a pair of hand pruners, leaving an inch or so of stem. Lay them out on the ground in a sunny spot and allow them to cure in the sun for a few days. Rotate them every couple days, and watch for signs of sunscald on really hot days.
