Eclipse day. 🌒 We will see 87% in my neck of the woods. Broke out my old glasses from the eclipse in 2017. I cannot believe it, but we actually have a clear day as in blue sky, no clouds, today. Anybody else got eclipse fever?

Hi @MsStretch

Good to know you at least got an 87% view!

Did you take any pics..that could be shared??

That said...I wouldn’t say I had “eclipse fever”....more like the old commercial....WHERE’S THE BEEF?!!?! ... WHERE’S THE ECLIPSE?? LOL!!

As I mentioned to Dave @DaveMcK Our mostly cloudy day hindered all but a few moments to see it! ..& with short windows of partial clearing...while using a friends ‘eclipse glasses’ ...It was more like a ‘tease’...it was hard trying to share glasses!!...“there it is...no it’s gone...wait there it is again...”...& yet the few glimpses were incredible....

Anyway...as always take care!

@Therapist4u , sorry, no pictures. Didn't have the right filters for any of my cameras. 87% = a skinny banana. It was pretty cool. Probably be the last one I see in my lifetime. As the moon was moving away from the sun, some clouds moved in which looked really eerie through the glasses and at one point, the clouds blotted out the sun. And since you can only see the sun's light through those glasses, it was easy to imagine I was watched a total eclipse. 😁

@SummerOnTheWay1 , eclipses happen regularly, but it is all a matter of being in the right place at the right time. The next eclipse to appear in the U.S. is in 2033, but will only be visible in NW Alaska. For the lower 48, the next visible eclipse will be in 2044 and will only be seen from Montana, North Dakota and far northwest South Dakota.

@Frozenoem , oh yes, I remember the ol' pinhole method. I also remember when we lived in Germany, we used a piece of smoked glass. NOT RECOMMENDED! Of course, at that time, we didn't know better. Not like eclipses happened all the time. This was long before the techie times. Wonder we didn't all go blind. Although who knows? Maybe there were residual affects, just hard to distinguish between that and old age. 😆

Thought about using over-exposed 220 films but, I had no problem seeing my iPhone lite thru film. That Bill Nue guy is dangerous.

Hey, Peeps,

@DaveMcK @SummerOnTheWay1 @MsStretch @Therapist4u @Frozenoem

Did try to see the eclipse, but we had off and on clouds. I was in and out of the house trying to catch a glimpse. The glasses were good. I do remember in 1991 my husband and I were in Hawaii during a well-hyped total solar eclipse. We were on Kauai, and the best viewing was supposed to be on the big island of Hawaii, but they had clouds, so actually we saw it better than the folks who had planned the big expensive vacay on the big island expressly for the eclipse.

@Frozenoem ...At that time the glasses were not that available and so I had prepared the cardboard pinhole thing and it was fun looking at the crescent patterns on my husband's shirt LOL.

On Monday I enjoyed the 90% of what I could actually see. I wore my 33-year-old souvenir tee shirt from the Hawaiian eclipse.

Put one of the lenses over my phone and took a few photos.

This is the best one...you can kind of see the moon starting to come over the bottom of the sun....

It's kind of blurry but had to enlarge it so I could see it and therefore the blur.

Good morning to all of you FRONT PORCHERS out there! Do you have plans for a Summer vacation yet?

We will be returning to our timeshare at Lake Geneva over Labor Day weekend. Our family will be able to swim, golf, bike and walk.

We are due to have another boat tour of the lake again.

We fix most of our meals with everyone taking turns.
