    Solar eclipse

    Ours started here a bit ago and will peak about 11:50 (30 min from now). We’re getting about 80% here.

    Going to have to go camping somewhere next spring where it’ll be 100% back home.

    Its cloudy here but the light is dimming.

    Solar eclipse

    Completely cloudy and raining here today. Only supposed to be in the 40% zone so I don’t think we will see anything.


    The total eclipse next spring is going to go right over central Indiana so the Indianapolis Motor Speedway is going to open up and have NASA experts on site. Think I may have to take my son for the day. IMS is always a cool place to be so this is a good reason for another visit.

    It was cloudy enough here that we could see the sun through the clouds with sunglasses and watch it for a little while. Cool stuff.

    Couldn’t make it out at all due to the rain.

    Sunny, clear, blue skies here today. (82 degrees with a nice breeze). I was too lazy to dig my welding mask out of the garage and didn’t even check out the eclipse. (Ya’ seen one, ya’ seen ‘em all)
