Wrong, most of what he posted are facts. Time to see the eye doc perhaps?

Whatever you say.

Thank you for proving my point.  

I think that you missed his point. Your answers are your opinions as to what is wrong, not facts. I'm not saying that I don't agree with some of your opinions, but those are just my opinions.

The higher the gas...... The more angry people will be at Biden.... sorry but it's just a fact. .... 

The sad thing is that you would like to see the country burn just to elect Trump.

IMO this new car is a horrible short track car and the only answer in the short term is to give them 900 HP.

Agreed. Several drivers have been saying that for a while now. I've also read where the engine builders are saying that it's pretty easy to turn up the HP with this motor. Why not try something? 

I watched the race last night. Like Jim said...

I have been battling prostate cancer for about 1.5 years. When diagnosed my PSA level was extremely high and after radiation treatment its down to 0.05 so basically cleared up. The radiation did alot of damage to the bladder and bowel area and they found a mass on the tail end of the prostate. They did a biopsy and then another and 2 weeks ago another and got a call from the surgeon a few minutes ago. It's confirmed no cancer for the 3rd time and the urologist and surgeon figure it's an ulcer caused by the radiation. I'm on the mend and taking it day by day.

That's great news, George! Congrats

I actually took the harley down to cape cod for the day. got a bit of a sun burn              i looked a few times thru the paper glasses but it didnt even get a little dark there. mayybe a little greyish color for a bit.  one of the guys i work with drove up to Derby vt to wacth it.  said he was in his car headed to I 91 by 3:40pm..3hrs later he had not made it to the 89 split.  he got home in Randolph MA at   11 pm..    he said it was gridlock EVERYWHERE he looked til close to 8 pm 

people are crAZY

Like I mentioned earlier, I have never seen that much traffic heading north on Rte 91 from Lyndonville to St J as we saw yesterday. And that was at 8:30 in the morning. Rte 93 from St J to Littleton, NH was very busy, too.  It took us just over 2 hours to get back home via the secondary roads that would normally take about an hour and fifteen.

We had a long duration on both ends of that grayish color that you mentioned. Nicole and I called it a silver colored sky. The light was like you normally associate with the beginning or the end of the day that is nicknamed golden hour due to the golden cast from the sun when it is low on the horizon at those times. But instead of a golden cast it was more silver.

It went pretty dark down in Kaufman Tx.  heres a look at pops place at the peak. dark enough that all the outdoor lights came on.

 

It was strange to see a few stars show up in the middle of the afternoon.

It's going to be another beautiful spring day here in Vermont. The temp has already shot up to 49⁰ under mostly sunny skies 😎  The forecast is calling for a high of 61⁰ 

I hope everyone has a great day! 

Homemade corn chowder and a couple of wheat rolls.

Can yours be controlled some with hand gestures, and does it have "follow me", so much this thing can do I'll never learn it all.

I have no idea about hand gestures. But it does have a very good active track system that does a good job following. DJI is the leader in the drone business. That's about all that I have flown for the past 8 years. They have a very good return to home system where the drone will come back to where it took off from and land if it loose communication from the remote.

Depending on the model they can also come with obstacle avoidance. I wouldn't trust it around bare tree limbs like we have now, but other than that it works very good. They are almost fool proof now.

Nice it's pretty dark here... I can only imagine what it's like up your way

I honestly didn't think that it would be that cool to experience as it was. I don't know if I would travel halfway across the country to see it. But very happy to have witnessed

Fucking awesome!!!!!!

Less than 3 minutes away here until it's here.

Congrats!!!  A year from now you won't have to quit burning for the summer

We are 10 minutes away from totality here. It's noticably darker than normal.

Today is a beautiful spring day. Blue skies and 59⁰ here in Vermont.

I've taken a couple of ride arounds and am amazed. People coming from anywhere and everywhere! It's like a festival. Motorhomes and campers filling all the parking lots and they're out tailgating and shit. Weather is perfect, not a cloud in the sky. Pretty cool!

I had an appointment in Littleton this morning. The northbound traffic on 91 was the heaviest that I had ever seen. We decided to try coming home by going over to Dalton and then up either side of the Connecticut depending on traffic. Lancaster was packed. We skirted most of it.

Eclipse traffic is fucking crazy!
