I'm gonna be dead center for it here in Ohio, so excited. Got my welding helmet ready to watch it and the day off.

Fuck yes, enjoy bud. I've read people not using high enough rated welding goggles and getting eye damage though. I'd stay on the safe side and get appropriate solar eclipse glasses. You'll be looking directly at the sun for several minutes after all.

I have shade 14 capable welding helmets, I'm good. I did have to look that up to be sure though. You are right apparently to be worried.
