While I'm at it, mike taylor come on up and we've got an open couch for you for a few nights.
Monday's Totality!
- Thread starter Jacqui
- Start date
We've already got a shortage of gas at some stations in town with freeways closed from to much traffic.
Your missing the opportunity to make a few bucks. Set lawn chairs out and charge a couple hundred per chair. You know there would be a bunch of people dumb enough to pay it.
Hope all goes well there. That is kinda scary with the drought and all the extra people that will be there
I'm not excited about it but will be looking.
Sounds like you have a great date day coming up. Enjoy. Hope it's sunny clear blue skies for ya.

When is it going to happen? 799.99 a night ! That's just crazy talk. There's no way I would pay that . Sleeping in my car is free .
Monday, and I agree. I would sleep in my car first too
A guy was selling some glasses for $20 each but I didn't see the ISO so we passed. I knew it was fishy when there wasn't one person in line.
I think the kids and I will make something like we did in the good old days.

Monday, August 21st at about 10:15am here for the totality. Go to Portland, about 60 miles north of us and it'll be 99.5% total. And mike, don't worry about spending $799.99 a night. Like I said, you're welcome here. Bring a hunk of dead animal and I'll give you some Pendleton and at the least one ice cold Coors. Kick me $0.99 and I'll even give you a pair of ISO certified glasses. And a couch to sleep on.
Bring your wonderful bride and the offer goes for the two of you. Heckfire, stars shining in the daytime I'll be thinking I'm in north Alaska in the dead of winter, other than the 86° and clear skies we'll be having.
And less I forget, @Jacqui have a wonderful, very special day with Jeff. This is an event to spend with one you love and I most happy for you two getting that opportunity.

I wish I had the time and money to ride out there.
The traffic is really picking up here along hwy 99. I'm going to watch from home and just enjoy it. I'm playing a drinking game since I took the day off. Each time one of my friends asks if I'm shooting it I have to take a shot of vodka. I'd rather watch then put in the effort to find a pleasing backdrop to shoot it against.
Pictures or it didn't happen. "Are you shooting it?" Let the games begin!!!
Many places are giving them away here.
I waited and waited then said to myself, I said, "Ken, be realistic here. It's just you and your Pendleton. Besides, how would Rochell really fell about here sleeping on the couch?" So I took maters into my own hands and finished my fifth! I must say it was a job well done.
I'm right there/here with you. For all there's, as they say in the quaint village of Pendleton, "Let 'Er Buck".
Heckfire Yvonne! Even the Discovery Center will be having their telescope setup for people to view for free. No you won't have a full eclipse like we will, (72% vs. our 100%) but you will notice it. Once in a lifetime event that doesn't float your boat? Come on girlfriend, get on board here with us. Here's your local link;

Sorry Yvonne. But I've just got to show you,(sorry everyone else, spoiler alert)…
My sentiments exactly!
If I were you I'd ignore all the science that coincidentally takes place for this to happen.
Enjoy the show all you lucky folks in America!
