I remember thinking back then (which seems like last week) that I'd be retired and a good bit older for the next eclipse. Well, here we are.
Same!
Was on family vacation down on Hilton Head Island,SC for the '17 eclipse wondering where we'd be for the next one....ironically we sold our house in NY,and moved to Hilton Head Island in '20 lol. Had to retire early(medical issues) so I'll be watching in the 70-80% zone with my trusty Miller auto-tint welding helmet,just like in '17

So,are you retired now??
