3-man rules!!!!
.
I tried to investigate the best I could, and all the reports I read said level 14 minimum.
So I have my helmet, old cutting goggles, level 5 sunglasses, and a level 8 replacement lens.
I tested today with the sunglasses and helmet and could stare at the sun without tearing up or seeing spots.
I'll probably end up not even looking, I'm planning to make a video, so I'll be looking at the screen.
I did stop by or call all the library's a few weeks ago and none of them had the special glasses.
So at this point stacking helmet lens is probably the only way to find something level 14 plus???

I wish I could find a def answer to the stacking filter thing. We have shade 5 goggles with a shade 10 filter stacked. Sun looks the same as when viewing it with my buddies solar glasses, except welding goggles have a green tint. But I read the stacking filters doesn't stop the IR rays properly. Honestly the main goal is the totality part which you don't need the glasses anyways.
Welder's Glass #14
One of the most widely available filters for safe solar viewing is shade number 14 welder's glass, which can be obtained from welding supply outlets. The transmittance curve of a glass SN14 filter is shown in Figure 2 (below). The shade number is derived from the luminous transmittance of the filter, a property that takes into account how bright human vision would perceive the world through the filter. If SN14 filter is not available, it is possible to combine lower shade numbers to get roughly the same level of eye protection from solar radiation, e.g. combining SN 6 and SN 8 filters. However the image quality may be considerably poorer than that seen through the single SN14 filter.
Been in Nashville since Saturday. This entire town is getting buttfucked with people. I've been staying with my sister and her husband and they are saying even with the CMA fest and the NHL finals at the same time, this eclipse is wayyyyyyy busier. I can tell you everywhere I've gone to eat that the wait has been 1hr plus
Radio was mentioning Craigslist ads where folks are looking for a partner to mate and conceive a child during the eclipse.
Example:
When totality occurs, we will have simultaneous orgasms and we will conceive a child. ... We will make love together, with me and my penis directed towards the sun.
Everything will be aligned in the local universe. Both of our cosmic orgasmic energy will be aligned with the planets.

Got lost and invited on an amazing farm. They are feeding us the best food ever. Perfect place for pictures.
