Viewing of the eclipse was awesome yesterday 99.9 percent coverage like dusk outside birds roosted temperature dropped a good 10 degrees was worth the trip

Good morning! We mowed during the eclipse yesterday, well mostly the wife did, I was busy trying to get a pic - failed. We could feel the lack of the sun's intensity and thought that this is how the people up North enjoy their Summers. Temperature did not drop but it did not rise and we stayed 5˚ cooler at 95˚. We had about 60% coverage. Cloud coverage would have been darker but the kind of light when there were no clouds was different.

Good morning all, 69 now going to 93 today. Been busy for a few days doing life. Wife got a few pics of the eclipse yesterday, but none half as good as Don's. Hope to talk my barber into giving me a haircut today if she's not to busy cooking or cleaning the house. Other than that not sure what I will do.

Daugen, Your welding looks great for the time you have been welding. You must have the knack.

David. Kitchens look great, won't show wife as I don't have her pantry done yet.

Have a great day all. Ed

See the crescents in leaf shadows?

71°F and heavy rain this morning, going up to 81° today. That 86% humidity we've been "enjoying" recently is supposed to drop off with this front as well.

I didn't bother trying to take any eclipse pictures through my welding helmet, as it was flashing a bit trying to stay on, and I doubted I would get very good focus. I'm sure NASA got a bunch of better pics anyway. We didn't get totality here at work in North St. Louis City (about 99%, I'm told), but The Wife drove to Sparta IL with neighbors and had a picnic at the World Shooting Complex there. She said she had her glasses off for about a minute during totality, and could actually see the moon.

Listening to an eclipse on the radio, Eric? Now that's some quality entertainment right there. :laughing:

I missed my opportunity, lit my bonfire an hour too soon, was thinking if it got real dark and the fire was blazing away
a bunch of Druids would show up and celebrate...dancing around the fire.
but then I have an active imagination...

Thanks Ed. A lot of grinding and filler primer work magic over bad welds. Drew

Bird, I made the mistake, only once, of turning down the offered free sunglasses after an eye exam, thinking I had mine in the truck.
I didn't and said well I didn't live far away. Big mistake. Awful searing pain in the eye. So really good you did not try...
btw, a major congrats on reaching 40,000 posts.

I wonder who has the most posts?

The low this morning was 44* not sure of the high yesterday. Today is going to be in the 80's with a chance of showers and wind.

We made a day of going up to see the eclipse. Left here about 4:30 am got back to the house about 6:00 pm. Their wasn't as many people as I was thinking there would be. The traffic wasn't to bad. We were at over 8,000 ft and had to put our coats back on for awhile. We all had a good time and was glad to to see it. It's something we will never forget. Sorry this is the only decent picture I have.

Hope everyone has a nice day.

If you go to the Members page and sort by posts, it shows that Bird has some catching up to do.

I'm glad someone got a clear pic of the eclipse.


Since I had my zoom lens out I got this pic from the back yard. All I need is a witty caption for it.

Deer dab.
