All I have is my old AC arc welder helmet.

How can you tell what shade lens it is?

SHOOT!! 

Missed it!Those jalepeno  peppers from yesterday's car show had me in the restroom. Note to self, if there is a big event coming don't try eating things you don't normally eat

No shoot, you did not miss much. 85% here and it barely got dark. Last time I flew my Lear Jet to Nova Scotia to see a total eclipse of the sun. I'm usually where I should be all the time but when I'm not I'm with an under world spy or the wife of a close friend.

we were in the 90% range for the event..just figured out that it means you will miss 90%...I've blocked the sun from the area more with dust cloud when prepping my new lot couple years back....

Don, You're so vain.

You probably think this song is about me.

I watched the eclipse on my large flat screen, but could not see much with my welding helmet on. Add to that,  the battery in my hearing aid died, so since I did not have any replacements, I had to watch the total eclipse in total silence! ! !

I was on the NY Thruway somewhere between Albany and Syracuse when the eclipse happened, 70% there.  Traffic wasn't any better or worse than usual, lights dimmed for about 30 minutes, kinda like being downwind of a big forest fire when the smoke blots the sun out.  Most interesting part was all the eclipse themed songs on the radio during the trip.

A fer days late but I finally observed the totaled eclipse.
