Yes. Question: Polarizer or no Polarizer? Will it do anything?
My Tripod ballhead was great at turning left and right, but not great at up and down. Therefore I probably need to go for a bit more expensive. Any recommendations there? For the 3/8th end of my tripod to hold a heavy camera.
I processed my photo above again, I got this: There is quite a bit of surface details...

I wouldn't think a polarizer would add much. What you have in detail is more than I've achieved with just a Thousand Oaks filter. I would keep it as simple as I can.

Thanks! Yeah, I really like the last one too! Does the trophy come with any money? 
Only when you sell the photo. 😉😉😉

Why do we photogs want to go to all the trouble and expense to take our own portrait of the sun, or even the moon, when there are already thousands of such photos that can be seen in all kinds of media? Just asking . . .

Probably the same reason people take pics of The Eifle Tower, The Grand Canyon, Mt Everest...

Great source for the Bubonic Plague in Colorado. They are cute, but they do more harm than good.

Nice photo. Another reason I don't go in the ocean.

Remember that when the sun is in full totality, and you have removed the filter, you might be lucky enough to get a solar flare or two.

The day before the 2017 Great American Eclipse we were in Victor Idaho and the skies were so smoke filled, you couldn't see the sun very well, however the day of the eclipse was awesome and we had a huge crowd, which is another reason to attend. I still hope you go, so you can give us some cool photos.

Oh, but I love that little upsweep of a cloud!
I agree. It gave me the impression someone was blowing the balloon to the right

Good shot, but I would like to see a bit more detail on the balloon. Try selecting it and opening the shadow a bit.

The original was just a silhouette of the balloon, and this is my best effort to get the details. Thanks for the comment.

You make it sound so simple. I don't know why for me it isn't.
Driving 1700 miles is never simple, or cheap. If I could afford to do the same, I'd drive to Texas and stay with my cousin in Austin.
