Heading to friends in St. Louis area Sunday for an eclipse party.

After watching the evening news I wonder what the drive will be like?

I haven't had a "first" in quite a time so I'm looking forward to it.

How about you guys?

Going to set up a time-lapse camera at the house, 99% location and head out the back roads to see the 100%.

I bought two pair of flip up cutting goggles and installed number 14 filters.

No, a number 14 welding shade, most welders use a number 10 shade for routine work. They are the little rectangular lenses in a welding hood.

If you mean the time-timelapse camera, I plan on pointing it out the window, not at the sun to show the approaching darkness and second dawn.

My eye doctor headed out today to see it in Idaho.
Talk about kicking them while they are down.

Eyes hurt? Step into my 5th wheel.....

Ahh got it, I had made my own N stop filter for my camera using a replacement welders shade for 3 to 10 minute long exposures on the water. An awesome effect to say the least.

My back yard is smack dab in the middle of totality. No traffic.....no nonsense. All businesses are close because of all the people. I'll just be sitting in the yard enjoying the show

I am going to just take the afternoon off in Michigan, have a cigar some scotch and brisket. Plus take pics of the eclipse with a filtered lens. Got a thousand oaks film lens from b&h a few weeks back.

Just drove through town. Lots of people, but not as many as we figgered. The city park is totally full. Be interesting to see if the police enforce the 10pm closing of the park....

I feel bad for everyone who traveled to cloudy weather.

One guy built a house and an observatory right in totality.
Spent the past decade preparing.

I hope he don't get clouded over.

Today is the day folks. Stay safe and keep them peepers looking in a safe direction if you are out and about. Dont need none of you going blind. Most of you already have issues counting and sh1t.
