    did not affect my solar
  • Geek Power! OK, so where are all the solar panel output reports for the eclipse??? ST
  • Thank you for posting. I drove 5 hours away to the National Homestead Monument in Nebraska to see the eclipse. I took along 2 boys that work for us on the farm now and then. They are both 14. They were thankful to go along and we had a good time.

    My only complaint is that Nebraska is awful, awful, at traffic control.

    We also went to the Henry Doorly Zoo in Omaha zoo the day before. I recommend it to everyone. If you get in the area check it out.

    I didn't realize that there were that many forms of life. Tapir are really weird looking animals.
  • Nice picture!!
    yeah, the space station is really hauling it. We were able to " see "it crossing the sky recently one night in SE NC. We were amazed at how fast it crossed the sky.
