    We're going to need (good) gin and scotch to survive this.

    Not to mention (good) music.

    ...

    Let me pour another gin. Then, I'll find some musique ... :confused:

    I'm in. I've ordered the captain to fire up the corporate jet. We'll be there early morning.

    I expect those Tequila Sunrise fixings (with biscuits, sausage gravy, eggs and bacon) to be ready when we land.

    DJ does not allow alcoholic beverages on the farm. This is a natural way for folks like me, that should only take their clothes off in the dark, keeping their clothes on.

    Keep your pets and livestock under cover or indoors . Their retinas can fry too.

    I know here in Vancouver , people will be outside viewing the eclipse , with their dogs by their side.:eek:

    I was told "not to worry!" because my sister-in-law was bringing Eclipse glasses for everyone. Well, she got here Friday with none in hand. Everywhere is sold out around me. I've called every store. Even the hardware stores have completely sold out of welding shields! ******* ****.

    I ain't afraid of no Sun. I have been training my eyes for years just for things like this.

    I've read that using a camera of any sort without the appropriate solar filters will fry your lens. I'm going to make a quick pinhole shoebox thingy. They also just picked up two lenses from a welding supply store. They say Shield 14 is the only safe one but they were out of 14s so I grabbed two nines because I read that that will do the same
