Our maximum just passed thru earlier at 10:17 AM. Had fun with the entire department watching as it came in and out. Still a slight eclipse now.

I layered up 3 pairs of plastic sun shades, dark green plastic, taped them together to a pair with temples on.......

layed back in my plastic outdoor recliner in the back weed patch.....looked at it for maybe 10 seconds at a burst.....

thing is, very cloudy, ruined most of the effect....damn shame.....but it looked to me just like a partial moon...going the other way around, so to speak.....

Held my eyes shut for a while and saw a small red dot, that was gone in about 2 minits.....

I took a crappy cell phone pic through a set of eclipse glasses about 5 minutes before maximum. We had 92% coverage here.

The clouds here were intermittent. Caught a quick glimpse of the sun starting to be blocked out and then the cloud moved in.

I built a box, I watched it about 4 times, including at max coverage (78%). That was bs, it was less than 50%.

Was still cool to see about 5% decrease in daylight during the peak.
