Two of the three baby robins left the nest today. I expect the last one will probably leave tomorrow.
We went up to the party at my Sis's house today. The traffic wasn't has heavy as expected. We had another passing of the baton moment today. I drove Mom and Dad up there and Dad actually seemed glad to be a passenger.
Sis's house was actually cleaner than a couple weeks ago. That's not saying a whole lot since it was still way more cluttered then it needs to be and it needs a good deep cleaning but she did make an attempt.

Did you travel to see the eclipse, zibazinski ? Cool! Actually I traveled to see my family who mostly live in Salem and was mentally off enough to not realize it was eclipse time until I tried to get back to Tampa. I can't get back until the 24th and I can either stay up all night in the hotel lobby where I catch my shuttle to Portland or I can pay $250 for a $100 room!! zibazinski do you realize that hut has moved out to the salem airport and I don't think they pick up at that hotel anymore.

Yes but the Oregon express shuttle does and they have better times and prices.

I need to get busy and get into work. Oh well it will make tomorrow better for me if I do this. I volunteered to do this in case there are issues with traffic getting into work or issues with the internet.

I was supposed to be swimming today, but severe thunderstorms down south ended that. Just as well, since it looks like I may have competitions the next four weekends in a row.
I did get a little yardwork done before the rains started (I will try and get back out later). I did laundry, vacuumed, cleaned the bathrooms, made breakfast and cut up watermelon and cantaloupe for our snacking. I will make more frozen yogurt later on.
I was puzzling over what to make for dinner, but I realized I have some leftover peppers, onions and tomato sauce from the other night. I am going to blend that down into a smooth sauce (DH is not a big fan of chunky vegetables) and serve it over fresh angel hair pasta with some chicken I bought yesterday.

Good Morning Kids! Unfortunately, I have to drive into the "big city", as DS has a dentist appointment. We might still be there as the eclipse gets close, so I hope drivers are watching the road, rather than looking into the sky. It's cloudy here anyway, so we just might miss it.

We have gorgeous weather, should be good eclipse viewing. The anticipated traffic was arriving this morning. This mornings 5:30am commute looked more like 3pm traffic. I have been watching tripcheck and the freeways are filling up with people heading into the area.

Morning, my solar peeps!
Not working my outside job, so did some freelance and running the dishwasher. Need to head out to the bank for some business, which also gives DH the home office for awhile.

Sharon - How is baby watch going? Her due date was yesterday so we are in any day mode. However; at her appointment last week the doctor had her make two more appointments, one this week and one next week. So it doesn't sound like doctor is expecting baby at any moment. If baby isn't here by the second appointment then they will be discussing inducing her.

I got to DS's dentist appointment very early, and they had a cancellation, so they got him in. Nice! I am watching the Oregon eclipse on television. Easier on the eyes! It's supposed to be here in a little over a half hour, but won't be a full eclipse. We don't have the special glasses, so I'll keep DS indoors just in case the clouds go away.

I saw the eclipse, I saw the eclipse,I saw the eclipse!!! It was really cool. A friend had bought a "family pack" of eclipse glasses for his family of 4 and the pack contained 5. I did share mine with > a dozen outside my building at work and he shared his with a large number of people too outside his building. I may be a nerd after all!

It's cloudy here & we're getting very light rain. However, it IS darker than usual for such a light shower, so I suppose we'll blame that on our partial eclipse.

The eclipse was so cool. We sat out on the balcony at work. We have several large office buildings and then neighborhood. People started cheering when it hit totality and then of course there were idiots shooting off fireworks.

No totality here, but the TV weatherbutts went crazy because the temperature dropped a couple of degrees during the eclipse. Like you'd notice the difference between 99 degrees and 95 degrees.
