Interesting video about other military operations that will be going on or starting the same day of the eclipse. Also tying in with other video about Sept. 23rd. Will earthquakes worse than ever experienced before start due to this eclipse? Should we all buy some depends? Or will this be just another day but with an eclipse?

All this hubbub over a few minutes of semi darkness...

I'll be in my windowless office. Probably won't even know it happened.

Just another day.

I will get the other half of my place mowed today,
The wife is not allowed on a mower until her back completely heals.

I will wat until the eclipse is over , around 1:30 pm.
then I won't be mowing in the dark .:cheesy:

Got Water and Food to last two years before I hit the those nasty MREs...

Got Guns... and more Ammo than God...

Got plenty of Property around me to make me invisible from the road...

Got a house with basement walls 18" thick...

Never felt a tremor in my neck of the woods...

BRING ON THE ECLIPSE !!

At about 1:22 pm, my back yard, couldn't get a full eclipse pic with phone...corona was too bright.

AWESOME.



Totally dark for about 2 1/2 minutes.

Eclipse Report

SE Pennsylvania

Sun was out till about 1415...then clouds rolled in.

DAMN IT !!

Sky and clouds grew dark like it was gonna rain...mostly to the southwest of us

Only thing I did notice was there were NO Tree Ants on the deck...not any bugs at all.

No birds were singing or flying...that was strange for my area.

No Katydids were chirpin'...real quiet

1450...all is back to normal.

Still cloudy...birds and bugs back to business...

Maybe next time...in what...99 years !?

{ Took my depends off...why waste 'em }

We just got a partial eclipse here. Working on the T-Bird we would watch until it got to the full 60% and then looked at it through my welding helmets. No big deal but I heard on the news that the eclipse was Trump's fault.

Tommy

Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schummer said that was the facts- Trump did it!!

Friggin' Democraps don't know nuthin'....

I have to disagree....

They know exactly how to screw up a country..uker:
and keep a man from doing what needs to be done.

The next eclipse will be in 2024 making an X with the patch that this one took.
Well there was at least one earthquake. Interesting to see if any more happen real soon.

I was out in the middle of the prairie in east Wyoming. The boss let us take our lunch break during the eclipse so I watched it from the middle of the railroad tracks I'm working on. We were in the total zone and had clear sky. The weird thing is how fast it got dark and how the horizon turned red all the way around us. It was like a 360 degree sunrise.

well duh that's where the handle comes from. I wondered if you were just bragging. lol

 

[SavageGuy]

It was pretty cool here. Got a nice picture that I'll import and upload tomorrow.

Yup, I'm a dirty railroader. We travel all over the west half of the country fixing tracks. We roll into town, do our job, and roll on outta there when we're done, and y'all better lock up your daughters when we come to your town!!!

Yaaaaaannnnnkkkkk!!!



Actually, we roll in, get up at 4:45 AM, work 12 hour days, then go back to the hotel and sleep. We're all to old and tired to chase anybody's daughters...

 

[phideaux]

Hey Spike....

You will have a great retirement though.

Good friend of mine retired from the railroad 5 years ago, doing exactly what your doing......he aint hurtin.
