So, I never did buy glasses, but I did make my own viewing box where I will see the eclipse inside of the box. Hope it works. We have partly sunny weather right now, so hopefully its sunny at the time. Im in central Indiana, so I should get about 89%.

Just a piece of paper with one or more holes poked through it works well. I got some good pictures; have to wait til tonight to upload them, though.

Keryx made a viewing box this morning and it worked. So we went outside and watched the eclipse and picked tomatoes from the garden.

 . Up until the peak, and then it was total cloud coverage. I did see the sun at a thin crescent tho, so I'm happy. I was able to take pics too, some are nice. I'll try to post them.

My box worked ok but the glasses were really great. One guy had a welders mask and a female cow-orker had the card stock with hole.
