That’s a beautiful town to boot!

We love it, certainly not a bad place to take in such a thing!

So far in SoCal the only thing adjusting is the batteries.

Totality here is at about 1:40 central, but it is getting darker outside as the minutes go by.
I was looking forward to seeing the eclipse, but at this rate, it will be too dark to see it by then....
; )

Anyone expecting any weird moon-lensing effects? or just a boring gradual diminishment?

Why haven't we nuked the moon yet?

Isn't tidal power a thing?

On the other hand, it would be a solution or at least mitigation for "Climate Change". We were told sea levels would rise 3', inundating some coastal communities. But that assumed high tide, which we could eliminate.

"Time and tides", "High tide lifts all boats", some could be entrapped in a harbor.

I don't think I would enjoy living near SF bay; imagine the smell!

I'm in Upstate NY. In the path of totality. Not worried about my PV harvesting and I live fully off grid in a family of five.

Upstate here looks like clouds will be covering near Rochester.

Stupid clouds, should be around 95% totality here.
Trying to keep the batteries from hitting float...

Normally I'm running a 1kw heater to max out the solar but today was just trying to fill up 5kWh of battery, will just be topping off prior to the darkness so won't be able to see it on my charts.

Maybe the eclipse will slow it down...

Was about 15 minutes before the peak. After this was total clouds. Super dark outside.

It got pretty dark.
I would not have driven hundreds of miles to see it.
Back to work.

North East Texas Totality

Just past peak eclipse. Viewing was excellent with the light haze. Because I am not in the path of totality it only grew dim outside. Was a little surprised that with just a small sliver of sun showing that it was not all that dark. My solar panels kept their voltage up enough to have my AIO's not lose the icon but production is fairly nil at the moment.

total solar eclipse here. PV went all the way from maxed out at 11.7kw to zero, and now slowly coming back

Brucey · Apr 8, 2024

On the way down now
