We put a window AC unit onboard. We have our t-shirts ready. All we have to do now is plan meals. We will arrive at the club Saturday the 19th and enjoy ourselves. I'm pretty dang excited!
The eclipse is coming and we're ready!
- Thread starter Kermit
- Start date
I'll be busy watching and enjoying. I can't imagine I'd be making any phone calls during the shortest two and a half minutes of my life. But I promise to drone on and on about it for weeks and weeks afterward!

That's what they always say.
Some of the locals are travelling to get to a better latitude to see it. I expect to see videos posted here!
Yeah oh yeah for sure!
You have to look UP at the skies instead of DOWN to text.
OR..
"Tell the world. Tell this to everybody, wherever they are. Watch the skies everywhere. Keep looking. Keep watching the skies".
Jim...
Im staying put so the only eclipse I see will be if I cover my eyes. Where Im at, we will see about 92% and apparently that 8% remaining is still so much brighter than a full moon that you dont notice much. The link below will give the percent you will see by zip code.

Seeing meteor showers late at night.. We tried to get up and watch those one time and I think I only lasted about 30 seconds before going back to bed.

We're skipping that part. Virgins are just so scarce these days.
In the movie "The Dragonslayer", the blacksmith's daughter says to the hero," WELL, they're only sacrificing Virgins...." Fade to black... Virgins are just so scarce these days.
I was living in France in 1999 when this baby rolled through. We drove up to a friends house in Reims for the day, and drank Veuve Clicquot champagne while it passed. All the pond creatures came to life at 10:30 in the morning. Confused I'm sure.
Tell me about it! I dreamed last night that it was all hidden by leaves in the middle of the forest where we were trying to watch it. (There are no trees growing in the middle of Lake Murray. Dreams can be that way.)
We're also ready. Heading out from the south end of Cayuga Lake, putting up sails. Stopping off of Myers point before 1:30 pm, breaking out the UV glasses, uncorking a local bottle of Rose, and staring at the Sun. Cindy has also selected a new playlist for the stereo. This is her new favorite.
RIP Glen Campbell!
