Well, I don't see anything there that would worry me... Heck, mine just stay outside no matter how much rain we get... I'd probably bring em in if we were gonna have a hurricane or something tho. Everything looks okay to me.

Seems a bit of discolouration,nothing to worry about. are you sure that is due waterings and not happened randomly?

I water my trichs every day outdoors and they love it. If the temperatures are warm, you can't overwater a trich. Really.

rain might've washed glaucous away...if the plant becomes chlorotic (splotchy yellow green) just uproot and let roots dry, before replanting in dry soil.
Right now, they look like they might have taken a little more sun than they are used to. Some of mine can take sun all day, and some have to have shade.

It was random.had them inside a while because of the rain.put them out in usual spot in full sun.just happened to look at them and they were yellow.first day I was able to have them outside in a week.a little softer than usual think it could have something to do with full sun?

Same thing is happening to one of mine, hoping it doesn't get worse.

How soft are you talking here? Ripe tomato soft, or rotten tomato mushy? Wrinkling like that is sometimes associated with under watering rather than too much water... that is, unless somehow that thing is rotting from the inside out...
If you are worried about it badly enough, generally speaking uprooting a cacti isn't going to hurt anything and at times does have it's place to help dry one out, but to my eye, I still don't think these guys are in dire condition...
Perhaps a more experienced cacti doctor will mention an ailment I am not familiar with that matches what you have posted and suggest an action...

Ripe tomatoes that have been sitting in window a day or two.they were healthy and firm they got the full sun after being wet and inside for the four days prior and just turned yellow.not wet the whole time but took a while to dry deep down in the soil where roots are.

Hmm, well I am at a loss I suppose. Hopefully tonight a cacti doctor will pop in for a second opinion, but to me it don't look too bad

If it has wrinkled like that whilst being in active growth and watered, then it might suggest a problem at the roots. I'd probably pull it up to check myself. Is it in a pot with another cactus? Keeping them in single pots is more convenient for issues like this, only one plant has to be disturbed and rot can be contained.
