Looking suave in my Solar Eclipse glasses.

Banjo came out pretty good. Now I need to learn to play it better.
Linda and I are going to drive a few hours on 8/21 to view the total solar eclipse. Just tried these glasses out with the sun. They work!

Larry, we kind of got skunked.  We drove over a hundred miles to see the total eclipse and it was cloudy and rainy.   We got glimpses and the darkness and some aura.  

You never know how things will work out.  If we had stayed home there was a 96% eclipse and it cleared off nicely.

Still, like you said.  Awesome.

Did you get to see the eclipse?  We traveled to Georgetown, Myrtle Beach for the event.  Cloudy, but we could see the total eclipse. It was awesome!!

Thanks, Lane.  I will take a look.

Nice. I saw that Moon Pie has some Anniversary tins (with moon pies inside, of course) on their website since this is their 100th anniversary. My first thought was that they'd make a nice git.

Suave? Bad A$$ maybe.......

Thanks, Jim.  I do like the look of it.  I am trying to learn an old timey 2 finger picking method.  My right hand or brain were reluctant to learn the claw hammer.

LOL, Steve.  Roy and I do sing alike.

And PS:  I just saw the message from you in my inbox--dated Dec. 21, 2016.

PPS:  I got the George Thorogood reference.
