Handstitched Report post Posted April 8 @chuck123wapati Hwy Chuck, good to see you're 'baaaaack' Just a quick update, I'm having all sorts of issues with ISP's , 'pooters' and 'teknolagee' atm . ( have a look at 'Pet Peeves' thread) Using public access pooters atm so I won't be on as much as I used to, not for a while at least. Thats the disadvantage of living in the bush. Haven't done much cooking lately either, other than the usual plain ol boring evening meals . All the best, HS Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sheilajeanne Report post Posted April 8 (edited) Today is eclipse day, and we're supposed to get 99% coverage of the sun. Yeah - woke up to a totally overcast sky, and can't even tell where the sun is... [grumble!] Ah, well, guess that would qualify as a first world problem to most people! And no, I have no plans to drive anywhere to get a better view of it. According to the weather map, that would mean either driving south of the border, or almost as far east as Quebec! Edit: Welcome back, Chuck! Glad you are doing well! Edited April 8 by Sheilajeanne Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Edit: Welcome back, Chuck! Glad you are doing well! We're expecting about 90% here in Philly. Skies are clear. Couldn't find eclipse glasses anywhere, so I'll use a sextant to view. I also put together an eclipse kit ..... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

As it turned out, we didn't get to see much. I was able to see up to about 1/3 coverage when heavy clouds rolled in ... and just about the time it was all over they rolled out. I don't mind so much for myself as I've seen several eclipses in the past, but my partner has never seen one, and now still hasn't. - Bill Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
