Same here - but we are only at 99+% totality. Close enough for me. Vette is my daily driver, so yes, I'm driving her to work. May try to get some creative photos during the eclipse though.

We have friends from Texas making the trip up here to see the event. Weather forecast isn't looking perfect around here for Monday, but there's a good possibility it will be good. If not.... there's gonna be a bunch of sorely disappointed travelers.

Got my eclipse glasses yesterday, so I'm good to go regardless of what happens.

Just a reminder too - There's North American eclipses in 2023 and 2024 with totality hitting most of the southern states for those of you willing to wait...or for those that even really care.

Have a great time Tony. Would like to make that trip soon too!

PS> The headliners are bomb. I'm not even considering a color matched top at this point. Too many other things to think about first!

Awesome Dan! I was holding that thing for three years for the right guy. I am glad you have it now and it is working for you

Vegas baby!!!

You are in for a treat!

We arrived at our cabin in Dubois yesterday. No traffic problems anywhere on our route.

We have the perfect viewing area right in the front yard. Plenty of shade when we need it and lots of exposure to the sky. The kitchen is now well stocked with food and adult beverages.

Thought about going up to near Nashville but decided to just stay home because of the traffic. It's going to be almost 98% here anyway.

ProCycle

The way I hear it. Partial compared to Total is like being 98% close to winning the lottery.

Or like a woman being 98% pregnant?

I'll be busy with work. Maybe I'll sneak outside.

The merchants in Lincoln City, Oregon are crying. They report the fewest visitors this weekend compared to weekends of the past year. Is the TOTAL ECLIPSE another Y2K?

Well, if I were planning ahead to travel for the eclipse, I don't think the coast of Oregon would be high on my list of viewing areas. Don't get me wrong, I really enjoy the Oregon coast, but the chances of a clear sky are much greater to the east. Starting to get thick with people here in Idaho. Not sure if there will be the high numbers they tried to prepare for.

Hot August inland weather typically makes coastal Oregon fog.

Here in Wyoming we're keeping out fingers crossed that the clear skies will hold.

We are watching from our yard..98.2% here in Mtn Home Idaho. We are taking 22 Vettes to Coeur d'Alene on Wednesday from Boise. Gonna take some pics is my plan. Here is todays practice pics at 1128 am 24 hours before the big moment. A few sunspots making their presence known as well.

ProCycle

I saw those same sunspots today!

Also, I love crazy roadside art

I'm in Grand Teton National Park. Visited Jackson lake yesterday and washed the car.

bonnell

I am right in the path here in east Tennessee so my trek will be to my front yard.

We're on our way out the door to drive down to Chester IL where the totality will be about 2:40 this afternoon starting at 1:18pm. Just my girlfriend, two lawn chairs, and our eclipse glasses. Life is good.

Success!

That's the planet Mercury below and to the left of the sun.
