GS#1 and GS#2 came to visit this weekend… it was busy…When they got up we went to Granny’s for breakfast… eat too much for breakfast and feel stuffed all day… ouch. Then they played at the park awhile… before heading back home…SIL and I made the Perkins car show Sat at noon while the Grandsons went to Great Grandma’s house to visit…
Lot of good old pickups in all direction at this show..
That would be a really great ride.. classic stuff.
Then there was the Football game… what a stinker… sure glad we let the other team win it for us..,. we were just good enough to stay in there and they were bad enough to screw up every opportunity they had. But a win is a win no matter how it happens…
Sunday, GS#1 had to go back to Granny’s cause the pancakes were really good ( he liked the pumpkin spice special).. another day of stuffed feeling but no lunch helped out… the GS’s left at 1pm, about half way through the Dallas game… another Cowboy show… since a lot of the main players there are ex and current Cowboys… too bad that they start out well and couldn’t hold on… oh well…
Since we are seniors and get cheap tickets we have season tickets for the OSU theater plays… they are doing 4 and the first was Sunday so we went to that at 2:30… not bad… better than watching TV… and they did a good job with a small cast. We came home… while Grandma was “face time” on her iPhone with GS#3… she does like her face time seeing them… after a small dinner I went out and played radio… made my contact with friend in Ohio and then he reminded me of the eclipse… I had totally forgotten about it and it was about half in when I signed off and rushed to get he camera… set up on tripod and took a few pictures… interesting setting on the front porch… with the water feature gurgling along and watching the moon go dark…
Late to start… with a small, less expensive camera you can get decent pictures but odd additions for dark shooting… double moon here..
The shadow part got pretty red…
The shadow came from left to right till it got dark then the light could be seen moving around to the bottom
Here it has moved to lower left and about to start back up…
Creeping back up with light…
More and more coming to light…
I kind of gave up just before it was all back… but was getting more difficult to stay focused and I would have to move the tripod as it got higher in the sky so best to stop when I can and get to bed…
long weekend… plenty of busy stuff…
