You have to post a story with a photo like that!

Lame story. Crumbly 35v heat treat meets metal. 40 minutes later it’s a weight reduction insingo. Total custom job….

I always have the munchies. Some times more than others.

For cleaning a leather strop. Saddle soap and a ROUGH sponge.

Looks great though ! But you know, at least CRKs have the correct HRC ....

Thanks R, totally forgot about it. Zero chance I’ll see it with 100% rain now, but it will definitely get darker.

I dunno, Jim. Looks pretty good to me.

Last eclipse I saw was here back in 2017, the clouds parted right at peak time.

Nice !

I saw that one, too. Don't have long lenses on my rangefinder though, so all I got was this (west coast):

We had some people in the office checking it out with a self-made box camera:

oit of curiosity .......
why doesnt that line follow the path of the equator?

like, why doesnt it follow the lines of latitude?

Last day carrying this DEK2 for a week heading out on a trip flying to Florida for work. Just walk out of the granddaughters volley ball game. Not my car.

Why would it? Meaning, why would you expect it too?

It's the shadow cast from the moon. A straight line between the sun and the moon (which happens constantly) that happens to fall on the earth due to the approximate alignment of the three spheres, orbiting each other in space. Perfectly described by Newtonian physics and capable of making accurate predictions. We've known for many years exactly when and where this would be visible. What other model can make an accurate prediction like that?

Y'all, don't get started.

Yep. Remember the pact made here...

Hey, we were doing fine, leaving it alone.

well. based on the description that you just gave it SHOULD be more east west in alignment than it is because you know, the sun and moon are on the same ''rise in the east set in the west'' path.

just explaining my question I'm ready to drop it

Why bring it up in the first place?
