The boys and family will be here, four miles north of Bergheim, grilling and sipping. It's pretty rare to get all three off at the same time. We're looking forward to the gathering.

I agree, Gibson's is a great store!
I've got no trespassing signs all over the place. I've run people off our property several times over the years. We have a spring-fed creek in back and it not only brings wildlife, it brings tourists. Fredericksburg Texas is a destination town. We have lots of tourists every weekend and some throughout the week. My wife and I are hosting some friends and family for the eclipse. I'll be glad when it's over.
As for rain - we always welcome rain here in the Hill Country. :-)

Something you eclipse fans may want to consider safety wise...we have millions of new residents from Central America enriching our culture...they are the descendants of the Aztecs, Toltecs etc. And history tells us that they are fond of human sacrifice and blood orgy, to appease the sun god during times of solar anomaly...and sometimes, just for the sheer fun of it too. Situational awareness, lads. (sarc) I have made a sacrifice of pork ribs on the pit to the sun god to deliver to us three days of torrential rains!!!! 🤣🤣🤣

A few years back, eclipse viewers stormed the central Oregon area. Lots of public ground to camp! We are still cleaning up from that cluster. I never knew there were that many slob litter bugs.

Actually there is, most don’t realize what a full eclipse is really like. The eclipse I regret missing was just a partial here in 2012 or 2013 I think. I thought “big deal partial eclipse”, regular daylight ya don’t realize anything is different unless you look at the sun. I didn’t realize the sun was gonna SET while in partial eclipse, I saw the photos, it looked like science fiction, All all I would have had to do was step outside

We just left Comfort this morning. The turkeys were tight lipped and stayed on the other side of the fence. Things in town seemed fairly normal for a Saturday morning.

We are in the dark every day 8 hours. Don’t see the draw. Not a fan.

I have family in Kerrville, they own Gibson's Hardware. I love that old Gibson's! About the last one standing. Went in there many times in my youth. Naw, there's one in Weatherford TX.

Not on the rain it won't.

We had a RV parked in our gateway on the county road last night, couple from New Jersey looking for a place they could park and watch the Eclipse, moved them to the S.Ranch inside the gate safer there and not on the hi-way. nice retired couple, tomorrow is my birthday and we are having a little ranch fiesta at the main barn we are going to bring them up for a little food and give them a taste of S.Texas and watch the eclipse, should be fun.
