Total Eclipse Monday@ the MSC

[tailgaitingph]

We had 93% here. It was awesome!!! No clouds either. Now I need a drink after cleaning up 43 SPAM posts.

Good job Penny, I shall have a drink in your honor

We had a lovely 83% coverage that I got some decent pics of. Enjoyed some lovely time & beer with friends!

Wow what a day this has turned into. I just took my grand daughter to see the Wienermobile.
We got our pictures taken and I won us some prizes by sinking a bean bag in each of the three
holes in the Oscar Mayer cornhole game. I am such a hero to my grand daughter.

They lied, we didn't get a total eclipse. Charleston did, but not Georgetown County so no pictures, I didn't want to fry the innards of my camera by pointing it right at the sun. When it got to 90+%, it got noticeably cooler, which was a good thing because it was in the high 80s and the heat index was close to 100. I was expecting it to be darker, it was more like twilight than late night. It got much brighter as soon as the moon began moving away. When you have the eclipse glasses on, unless you're looking at the sun you can't see jack. Traffic wasn't nearly as bad coming home as I thought it would be. Still worse than a normal day but a little quicker than getting there this morning, it only took 40 minutes for the northbound trip.

We didn't get the full 'eclipse' but I got what I think we're some good pics of it.

Good morning everyone!! I'm enjoying the last few hours at the beach. Hearing back to Ringville around 10:30
Sad to go but Kevin and I will be here on Thursday 31 for the holiday weekend. (It's great to have friends who one a Cindi in the beachfront).

I heard you had room to sublet/rent out

No pictures at all. I read that unless you put a solar filter on your lens, which I don't have, pointing the camera at the sun is as bad for the camera as looking at the sun without eclipse glasses is for your eyes. If I had my point and shoot with me I might have taken a few but I had my good camera with me and I didn't want to take a chance taking pictures with it.

Little early to be hitting the sauce, wasn't it?

Evening, lurkers.

Morning BNers

For some reason, I didn't plan for the eclipse...guess I thought I had more time to get glasses.
Soooooo, I will be on my driveway with a paper plate with a tiny hole in it.

Very retro, Molly.

It 'kinda' worked. We had such thick cloud cover that I didn't expect to see anything, but we did have sun peeking though for a short time. The best part was watching our cats. They usually don't care as long as we feed them. LOL
But both of them seems to be very affectionate. One of them wanted to sit on my lap.....that has never happened before, so I took advantage of petting her.

[bodypainter]

Ahoy!
Anne read horror stories about going blind looking at eclipses. We stayed inside. It was too hot to do anything anyway.

Completely missed it but we were only supposed to be < 50% eclipsed anyway.

[tailgaitingph]

Me, too!

Any promising leads on selling the house?

Enjoying a lovely evening at my tiki bar. Earlier storms cooled our area off some but thunder in the distance makes me think a storm is coming my way now. Holding out as long as I can before going in.
