Pretty cool Lunar eclipse coming July 27

Longest one ever till 2100. Blood red eclipse. Daughters grad party is that night. Maybe I should worry.

Blood red lunar eclipse.

I can't believe you didn't at least try to hire me to cook.

What’s the conversion to ET from 8:20 pm UTC?

One hour for every 15 degrees of longitude.

It’s at our Yacht club ( I’m not a baller, it’s a cheap yacht club) and they make you use their food. Can’t even bring in table snack favors. But man, I’d love that. Could you handle 200?

We served 3-400 at the school picnic. I brought my team of idiots and mixed them drinks in 20 ozers as a means of thanks. (To be clear I was encouraged by the PTO moms running the picnic to do this)

July 27 seems a little late for a grad party doesn’t it

I don’t know. About 400 or so in the class, seems like they’re pretty much all the way through that at various places. But I’m at weddings every weekend till then, and I think that’s why the wife picked it. No idea really.

Thanks for the invite. It must have gotten lost in the mail. I'll keep checking daily. :)

Man I don't look forward to the next "wave" of weddings when my kids grow up and their friends and shit area all getting married. I feel like I just got out of that life phase where there was a wedding every weekend and realistically it was probably 10 years ago. It was fun for awhile but man it became a beating.

This is true and we had this very discussion this week. My niece got married last July 14 in Ann Arbor and I’m at the same exact church one year later. In the mean time I’m at 4 other weddings and on September 22 an ex student asked me if I’d marry him and his girl. Shit.

What time locally is this shit going down? Might have to bring up the old telescope.

The eclipse will not be viewable in the US.

July 27–28, 2018 — Total Lunar Eclipse

Nah that’s how it goes. I think mine was in July 18th if I remember correctly. There’s no way to not double up this time of year. I’m just givin y’all shit.

ET is -4 hours, so eclipse will be at 4:20 in the afternoon. Have fun with that.

After tons of weddings in the late 90s to late 00s, I think it has been almost 9 years since I've been to a wedding. Last one I can think of was when MSU played Illinois and Nichol started for the injured Cousins. Summer weddings tend to run together for me, but when it comes to fall weddings, I sure as hell remember which games the selfish fuckers made me miss.

Damnit, DWags! You went and got my hopes up for this thing.

Well here it was from Brisbane. Photographer matched photos of the moon and mars every five minutes.
