We had 90% and I was surprised it didn't get darker. I did happen to be at a stop where they were watching it with glasses at the peak. So, I got to see it. Pretty cool, but didn't live up to the hype for me.

Watch out DM, I think I saw a Great White out there on the horizon! 
We didn't get to 100% here in GA either but it was close. What amazed me was just how much light was still out there even with just a sliver of the sun showing. It was also interesting to see how much the temperature dropped ... it went from 90 degrees to 82 degrees here before it started creeping back up after the event passed.
Hope all are doing well!

that looks nice
i'd like a bit warmer here
Heya knuckles.
Unsure what I have posted. But I'm glad mum was in hospital when she was. She had a little stroke while in. Quite small, and FAST is the key with stroke, so being where she was was good. Bit of arm weirdness that will come back with physio. But mostly doing well.
Also had pneumonia. She's coming home soon.
I'm not doing much.

Thanks to all that offered support on this. I hate to be fired. I am too sensitive to other's approval. However, they paid my accrued vacation, forgave the deductible that I was supposed to pay for the repairs to the truck and, in general, were very nice about it. I believe it really was a business decision. However, they have a driver or three that have done far worse. I will never know the inner workings of the brains that were involved in the decision.
I made my first run to Atlanta and back. It can be done without pushing too hard. I had one day of 692 miles, but that was because I had to stop early the day before to get a flat fixed on the trailer. I do wish company owners would not run recaps.
The truck is an automatic and I was dead set against that. I did my road test in a 13 speed since I have never driven an automatic. After my first 3,000+ miles in an automatic complete with eclipse traffic and Atlanta traffic in general, I will say it wasn't too bad. I was grossing about 79,000 and came down Monteagle in 6th gear (I put it in "manual" mode), full jakes and maintained 30mph without touching the brakes once. That made me happy.

Wait...really??? Can't believe you are here and I am not. Just my luck. Love your face and miss it.
Glad to hear that mum is on the mend. You will have to give her lots of TLC when she returns. I miss my mom. Can I borrow yours?
Hi glowiest.
I still owe mum b'day lunch, after hers was in hospital.
Glad your milk run went well

I get a kick out of y'all calling it a milk run. I picture a person in a horse drawn wagon with glass bottles of milk and setting them on the doorsteps of houses. LOL
I am just barely old enough to remember scooping cream off the top of fresh milk
Sent from my LG-H815 using Tapatalk
I am certainly old enough, but I don't remember it ever.
Once I got used to the automatic I really like it. Little things like it dropping to a lower gear than I would normally make a turn in and sometimes backing in to an up hill dock can get annoying. But overall they're smart and easy.

That sucks about the stroke.glad it was a mild one and she's getting to come home soon.

Can't 'like ' this. Big hugs to Dogmum and you too (((Doggie))))
I remember churning FOREVER to make butter I didn't even like much
It's going. Another big weekend of housework. Saw the bulldogs lost. They really needed that game.

Was our last glimmer of hope. Season ends sunday and we are 11th. So season over.

Do you keep it in automatic when driving in ice and snow?
With my new schedule (leave on Saturday morning every week), I will not be seeing my Broncos except on the occasional Thursday night. It's a good thing that hubby is "retired" and we don't need to have our weekends on weekends. I actually like to have at least one day a week off during M-F. Otherwise, it is really difficult to get anything done at banks, doctors etc.
I have SiriusXM in the truck so I can listen to the games. I love that. I get 3.5 hours of really easy driving. The games always hold my interest. This company has DirecTV and a 24" TV in all the trucks along with an APU, inverter, refrigerator and CB. Nice. However, I did mess up on my first week. I can chalk it up to just plain not knowing the rules and procedures of the company, but still....Hopefully I will have a flawless second week. I will be calling to get questions answered instead of making informed assumptions that were not all that informed!! LOL
Only had a few occasions to drive in the snow, but I did manipulate the gears more. Usually just to lug the rpms more when I knew it might downshift on a little hill or taking off in 3rd. I'm usually pretty light.

These loads will be heavy. I haven't experienced winter on this route so it will be all new.
a bunch of senators here have been found to hold dual citizenship here, which they aren't allowed to
none of them knew about it, they were from things like spanish grandparents and defaults
1 MP too, the deputy prime minister Barnaby Joyce
the senators just choose their own replacement from their party, but the MP means a bi-election in his electorate when the government only hold a 1 seat majority
anyway, barnaby joyce, whose grandpa was from new zealand, but he had no knowledge he was a dual citizen, and potentially has never been there, has been voted 2nd in the publicly voted new zealander of the year award lol

Yay I have 2 weeks of US Open tennis to watch. It's especially great since I've disowned my baseball team
boo baseball team
aussie tennis players are brats ATM
we pretty much have bernard tomic and nick krygios, who both say they don't actually like tennis, it is just what their folks encouraged since they were 4 years old and they are just there for money
Morning dog!
Not even sure if we have a relevant male US tennis player right now. I do t follow it much these days.

Just thought I'd drop in and say I'm still alive, although barely... The man flu from a month or two ago must've made it's way from Australia, not sure if it went around the world or through the ground, but by the time it got here it was strong enough to kick my ass! I'm sick, I'm tired, I'm sick and tired of moving (new house is nice though, almost done at the old place) and If you haven't guessed, I'm a bit whiny too lol Momma Saints doing well though, she's feeling better than I am lol
I think being so busy with Ma, Getting SatiVae to the vet, getting moved, tearing down and setting up indoor gardens, fixing a Moped for a neighbor, dealing with the asshole landlord from the old place (He did us a few favors when we lived there, now he's saying that's where the deposit went, but that's not how deposits [or favors, for that matter] work. But if he want's to play that way I've done more than $450 (the amount of the deposit) worth of work at his pathetic greenhouse. But now I see why he needed help, his plants are so sad and sickly that it makes me feel bad they have to live that way, my own strain, too! uhh anyway enough bitching) along with all the other shenanigans I've gotten into lately have worn me down enough that my immune system couldn't fight back the man flu... But it's a manly man flu, so theres that... Should probably be resting today, but I simply don't have the time fo
I'm off to set up a little lemon balm hydro system, that way next time the man flu comes around I'll have it handy to make tea! Not to mention it'll help keep pest's off my other babies!

Thank you so much! I'll take it and use it very wisely. I just got my Crown III and put it together. It is very nice. I will put the $.50 in my vape piggy bank to save up for more coils.Glowiest... $.50... don't blow it all at once
Luv ya!
This made me instantly relaxed. I love the ocean. Is this close to your house? I want to be there. NOW!
You need to slow down and give yourself some TLC!! I am so happy to hear that MommaSaint is doing well. She has been through a lot and is a strong woman. A fighter to be sure.
Let me guess, you got pictures of minecraft? It's some square game... I think there were lots of squares anyway... or maybe I'm thinking tetris... either way, lol! Apparently you can modify the game somehow, so instead of calling them something creative like easter eggs, they just shortened the word as a whole in true millennial fashion.
A fighter for shizzle my glizzle plizzle! (Watched Mac and Devon go to high school, speaking izzle is just a price I must pay for watching Snoop Dogg movies. I may have dreamed in izzle, but at least I don't dream in spanish like pee wee herman) One reason to stay on her good side, no level of hell has the wrath of an Angry Momma Saint... but if you hand her chocolate as soon as she wakes up, the day is usually okay
