My uncle from WNC near Muddstopper shared a couple great videos of the full eclipse as he was right in the middle of the coverage line. Very dark out and all of the crickets and frogs started up like it was nighttime.

Good pictures! I tried taking some but didn't turn out that good
They were expecting 20,000 people to come to our town of 950 to see it, thankfully that didn't happen. Took the day off because they were also expecting 5-10 hr delays on the hwy. Was able to go out and scrounge up some nice red fir this morning 
Horse trailer was full of camp fire wood bundles so just used the pickup, I was careful

I had to adjust the settings on my phone to get a decent pic. What part of the state are you in?

I've been doing some more debarking and stacking in the last week or two when time and weather allows. It's a bit disconcerting when you realise that your scrounge wants to kill you as well.
Looks like the beginnings of a medieval weapon lol
Ya should have tried adjusting my settings, was pretty cool to see. We are about 80 miles north if Boise.
What's real funny is I can't see it in my reply lol.

You should have had a pretty good show then. I'm around the pocatello area.
On a hot day I can't get enough water so for that nights cramps I use mustard right out of the container, the tumeric in it helps relieve them quite quickly, although it's still a bit scary to lay down not knowing what I'll wake up to in the middle of the night
. Once I take it I don't have any more problems until the next time I over do it.
I have beat juice in the tires on my little Kubota, it does work well, but I still get cramps LOL.
That is awesome, family time and Locustwell my birthday is tomorrow and in my family we celebrate our birthdays by letting the lucky birthday boy/girl choose to do whatever they want for a weekend and everyone goes along with it. So.. for my choice we spent about 3 hrs this evening scrounging black locust. Tomorrow we're on the splitter and bucking a few more good BL logs to keep us warm this winter.
.My wife and kids helped load this black locust up(full cord
) and I unloaded it out of the trailer and the bucket on the tractor (I liked this part best lol).
Hi guys. My name is Jeff. I am the scrounger formerly known as Wood Nazi. It was just a nickname given to me by a friend after the soup Nazi from Seinfeld. I have no affiliation with any sort of hate. I'm just a dad, a husband and a Christian. I'm just a guy who scrounges his wood so fishing and snowmobiling are afforded. I'm JustJeff.
It was great! Got dark, temp started dropping, street lights came on, not something you see very often, they say one in a thousand people saw it.
Hi Jeff, nice to meet you.
Never thought you to be any sort of a hater, you have a pretty good variety of saws there in your signature, but maybe a dolmar or an echo would comfort others more.
Glad your all PC now
.If you like Seinfeld you'll probably know this one LOL.
I'm not a hater either, but we need to be able to laugh a little at ourselves, everyone included
.
That's dark Nate, dang.
It was dark here, but nothing like that, cool.
I'm with you there, SFKAWN. There are only two things I can't stand in this world - people who are intolerant of other people's cultures ... and the Dutch.
"But nobody likes the Dutch " lol
Movie and TV lines , some are just meant to be funny and not meant to be disrespectful.
PC people , some of them should come scrounge with me for a day ....
I'm still waiting for an apology from the Queen...

Sfkawn. Lmao! That's what I should have changed it to!!
Decided to make a hard core effort to burn up all my stumps before winter. I put this beast in the firepit after burning 4 others in the last few days 
. I was feeling great about it as I only had like 5 or 6 more, then when I was looking for my small chain(which I still haven't found ) I realized I had two more I set aside for the sake of time . The good thing is that I like to have fires, the bad thing is just burning this one I loaded half a face cord under it already, and I'm expecting it to take at least 2 days to burn if not three, and I'm only 2 hrs into it .
This is the largest one I have, but the only softwood, sorry Dan, burning about a full cord between the stump and the wood to burn it.
The trailer in the background is a 4x8 for size reference, my firepit is about 7-8' across its about 5 ' tall standing like that.
