Default Getting ready for the eclipse! Are you?

Got on Amazon and ordered some eclipse viewing glasses:

These, a pack of 4 real plastic frames like some safety glasses are made from:

And these, which are welding goggles with the correct filters for eclipse watching. (You have to be careful to get the right filter if you are going to go the welding helmet/goggle route.) Plus, you can weld with them. Or take the filters out and use them for Minion goggles. Or help Snoopy with his Red Baron efforts.

There's another eclipse in 7 years, goes across Texas. Never been to Texas. I'll pack my eclipse stuff away and have it to use over again then. I'll be retired by that time. That's why I'm not going with the $1 cardboard viewers.

This will be the first outing this year. Schedule got crimped when Sweet Wife changed jobs and I've got a mouth full of dental work to be done. Have a new BBQ grill, new rocking chairs and a patio rug all waiting to be tried out.

Probably take the HF rig along, too.

Less than 2 months from now. Who's gearing up?
