What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

[FedOregon]

Maybe a lounge event, we all could meet and watch, I think I can hold on til 2024. Looks like we can take over @Fruno's house in Ohio.

Or maybe up near @alanfgag for the tour!

Fantastic shots, Mike!!
Thanks to everyone for their play by play posts and sharing the emotions of the eclipse.
I know I'm not alone in eagerly anticipating what @alanfgag comes home with.

Thank goodness for the Public Library in my town!! They had free "goggles," beginning at 1:30pm today. I went down at 12:30 to queue up, with only about 150 people in front of me. Waiting in the 85-90F sun, I was happy to have a nice wide paja toquilla brim. At 1:30, I grabbed a pair and bolted (well, by speeding car, anyway) back to my office to share with about 20 very appreciative ladies.

The liner details are drool worthy indeed!

Thanks! Unfortunately the liner crest has oxidized overtime.

Excellent eclipse hat, @hatsRme !!!

Thanks Doug. I sent it to Scott & I couldn't be more pleased with it.

Scott?

68% to %70 here in SoConn. And it got cloudy and overcast. Supposed to be bright and sunny...

That was the guesstimate for this part of southern California--68-70% totality, clear and sunny. I have no idea what actually happened because my old friend insomnia visited last night. Didn't even bother trying to sleep until after 3:00 a.m., and saw 5:00 a.m. come and go before I finally nodded off. By the time I woke up just after 11:00 a.m., it was already over.

I'd best start cleaning up around here...

Why bother? We're just gonna' mess it up again. But we'll help you clean it up before we leave.

Didn't miss anything. A non event.

I just got a text from my brother. It took them 5 hours to go from Monmouth to Eugene. They are
{{{{ c r a w l i n g }}}} back to California.

We'll miss you Red, but I hope to still be around in 2024. It will be on my wife's birthday. Maybe I should book something in Hot Springs, AR.

Gives me something to live for.

The solar eclipse was not visible from Portugal due to weather but then we would only see a tiny byte on sunset.
Anyway, the Real Nutria Stetson today.

Bob, you need to pay more attention to the weather.

"Total" garbage. A nothing burger.

I've heard that from more than a few sources. Unless you were directly under the 100% path it apparently didn't live up to the hype.

 

[Wesslyn]

I drove a good 5 hours today to be in the path of totality and I gotta say... it was worth it for me.

Yer right. We were 70% in SoConn. Sounds like alot. A little hazy skies but still...
It was alot darker over the wknd when we had a light rain. Genuwine Eclipse Sunglasses helped cut down on the gear but it didn't get DARK. I wanted just a little dark.
