Are you gonna sit out with a stick and watch?

Sounds like a good night. Gotta think about what stick I am gonna enjoy...

    Vherf! We should have a Blood Moon Lunar Eclipse Vherf!

    Who's in?

    According to my googling, the shadow of the earth should begin crossing the moon at 9:07 PM Central time and should fully cover the moon about an hour later. Then the full shadow eclipse should last about an hour and twenty minutes before the shadow moves on and reveals the moon again. It's not as dramatic as a solar eclipse but still pretty cool. 

    Partial Eclipse begins Sep 27 at 9:07 PM Eastern time
    Partial Eclipse begins Sep 27 at 8:07 PM Central time
    Partial Eclipse begins Sep 27 at 7:07 PM Mountain time
    Partial Eclipse begins Sep 27 at 6:07 PM Pacific time

    (These times may not be precise. I just quickly adjusted for the time zones. Feel free to correct any errors I may have committed.)

    Damn the herf sounds good but I'll be working.

    If it isn't stormy, I am thinking of schlepping a couch out to the yard. 

    I hope it is as good as it is being hyped to be!

    It was enjoyable. Caught up with a good friend, sat and watched the moon for 3 hours, nice evening!

    Yeah I was working a detail outside and all I saw was clouds. And somehow Patrick, Steve, and Mike's faces.... Weird.

    Got to see some of it before the clouds took over.  Pretty cool to watch, thinking about the Sun, the Earth, the shadow on the moon, and the vastness of the universe.
