its getting a bit dark in chiraqi
They were watching a video on not being stupid and looking at the sun without glasses on.Shouldn't you be teaching
another day in the books we drove down to a friends range…(east of Indy when I say range it is better than most clubs) the kids shot skeet trap rimfire steel fished a farm pond and I gotta say the total eclipse was really cool. I hit 0 traffic at 4am just a bunch of sleeping girls in my car lol
We had perfect weather. It has been crap here with rain for days. But today cleared up. Temps warmed up from 40's to 75(F) and sunny.
Literally had an easy drive down to Thorntown Indiana, under 2 hours to get to the totality. Thornton is a small town with a nice park, we pulled in, there were a couple hundreds others, mostly semi-locals. Lots of Purdue shirts in the crowd (like 98% of the crowd). We chatted with strangers, had a picnic, it was nice.
The totality was actually far more awesome than I would have guessed. I honestly went in with zero expectations. I was blown away. Arrived 20 minutes before the eclipse started. Settled in with a picnic, lawn chairs and socializing with others. All good. Then it started and it was not terribly exciting at first. The sky turned a sort of odd color, but hard to describe. Says slowly darkened but were still far brighter than I expected, despite the odd color/sensatioin. It was nothing like going into dusk. And the temperature, which was bright sun and warm, 75 (F) all of a sudden started to plummet. Probably dropped 10 full degrees in very short order. All of a sudden the parking lot lights at the park lit up because it got dark enough. Couple minutes late we hit 'totality' and it was pitch black like night.
I tried taking photos. Tried talking movies. Tried various filters. Used a $1000 Panasonic Lumix camera with a Lecia lens. NOPE! Used my iPhone. Nope. Tried using filters over the lenses. None worked on either device. So crappy photos. But awesome memories.
Best photo I got was this one . . .

Are you suggesting that I don't have, at age 63, perfect physical condition?I see two things in that picture, neither of them are an eclipse.
One is Pacman, the other is pretty obvious and would get you in trouble if it weren't the "eclipse"
If you think I saw anything to do with you in that picture, you and I see VERY different things.
Washing machine took a dump. I think it's the pump that drains the tank prior to the spin cycles. The repair doesn't look that difficult, I just don't feel like tearing into it, too much other stuff going on. Any recommendations (good or bad) for someone to do the repair. I'm thinking Hiscox, Nason's or Appliance Pro.
Bearings are going out on our washing machine. Parts are ordered. We use SEARS for appliance warranty and they have been good at keeping the washer, dryer, dishwasher and refrigerator running and repaired.
The fiance has about 12 tulips that should be opened by the end of the day. She is super excited her gardening from last year is paying off. One problem is that the Iris is taking over, bulbs all over the place. These are some kind of mutant strain that grow under the edging and are starting to take over the grass in the corner of the yard. I think she had 12 of them last year, and now there are over 50.
Tilled up a few spots in the yard, put down grass seed, used Turf Builder. Don't know if it is any good or not, we will see I guess. Thinking of having a little fire in the pit tonight.
