At least I know his family if okay 09:19 ConnecticutCar Rich: did you read the above 09:26 Rich Sorry ConnecticutCar, I was off getting breakfast. 09:26 Rich That is good to hear. 09:34 Rich The timestamps on the static cam are sure interesting today. 13:24 Rich Not much happening, think there was a tour group thru, at least one person was waving his arms and pointing. 13:37 ConnecticutCar Indicator is going now at 14:34 13:37 Rich k 13:39 ConnecticutCar Beehive at 14:39 13:42 ConnecticutCar Rich did you notice that they changed the time on the static cam for daylight savings time...I called 13:43 Rich Yes 13:44 Rich I thought there was some very long times between predicted OF's. 13:44 ConnecticutCar Lion at 14:44 17:21 contner Can you tell me the best chance to catch beehive? 17:22 Graham it has been erupting about once a day. it was at 2:39pm MDT today 17:22 Graham so most likely in the morning or early afternoon tomorrow 17:23 contner thanks. That is one I have not yet seen. 17:23 Graham but it could do a short interval and go overnight and then not during daylight. Not truely predictable 17:23 Graham Watch out for the indicator geyser right next to the cone, on the right. The cam will be watching it if its going. Beehive splashes before it erupts sometimes for hours 17:23 contner This summer I plan to sit there for as long as it takes! Hopefully!! 17:24 Graham well ask at the visitor center and they can help 17:24 contner Great idea 17:24 Graham tell when it went the last few days and if its gone. If you are there in summer there will probably be gazers near it if it's due 17:26 contner yes. I have been there the last two summers in a row and many prior to that but have never caught that one. I must carve out the time this year and just not move until it happens. 17:27 Graham yeah if you have a radio you can hear the indicator starting and get there from Grand or the cabins/Inn March 9th, 2009 View March’s Logs 08:55 Rich Good Morning YNP 09:52 Loisb Hello 09:54 Loisb will check in later when I get home and get the data page working 14:28 Derek Hi 14:41 ConnecticutCar Derek I have a computer question for you? 14:41 Derek Yeah? 14:42 ConnecticutCar I know how to make a new folder but how do you make a subfolder under the new folder? 14:42 Derek Just right click on the first folder and select new folder. 14:43 ConnecticutCar okay I will try that 14:44 Derek Just watching Sawmill. 14:44 ConnecticutCar that doesn't work for me 14:44 Derek Jetting very high at times way above the trees 14:44 Derek Works for me :-) 14:45 ConnecticutCar if I right click on the folder I get a list of things I can do or select but not new folder as one of them 14:46 Derek select NEW 14:47 ConnecticutCar I go to my desk top and right click..select folder and then a folder come up 14:48 ConnecticutCar now how under this folder do you get a subfolder 14:48 Derek Open the first folder then click on FILE, then select NEW 14:49 ConnecticutCar okay...got it thanks 14:49 Rich Hi everyone 14:49 ConnecticutCar hi rich 14:49 Derek Hi 14:50 Derek Lion went again at 2:33 14:50 ConnecticutCar I have been trying to fix a problem with my sewing machine and I had to take out all my designs and put them into folders 14:51 ConnecticutCar it is very clear now in the basin 14:51 Derek My Mother is good with her sewing machine 14:51 ConnecticutCar you remember I told you I was having a problem the other day 14:52 ConnecticutCar my machine is a computerized one and it is very delicate 14:53 ConnecticutCar Derek I will take the camera at 6...Graham said he might be late today 14:53 Derek I will try and get up here for a 10:30 EDT start tomorrow, 14:54 ConnecticutCar no need to watch for Beehive Contnerand Rich as it went early this morning 14:54 Derek I am waiting for Lion 14:54 ConnecticutCar I know Derek 14:54 contner Thanks for the message. 14:55 Rich k 14:55 Rich ty 14:55 ConnecticutCar there goes Lion 14:56 ConnecticutCar this is probably the last of the series 14:58 Derek I thought it had finished 15:00 ConnecticutCar usually it is a series of three 15:01 Derek I meant, this one died down then started again. 15:01 ConnecticutCar Graham has a dentist appointment I guess after work so that is why he will be late 15:01 Derek OK, it's yours :-) 15:01 ConnecticutCar do you want me to take the camera now? 15:01 ConnecticutCar okay 15:02 Derek It's just past 10 pm here 15:02 ConnecticutCar are you going to stay up for a while? 15:02 Derek I've got a couple of things I need to catch up with on the computer now the internet is back. 15:03 Derek But I will be around 15:03 ConnecticutCar okay then I will see you tomorrow.I have a Dr's appointment in the morning so feel free to take the camera whenever 15:04 Graham hello 15:04 ConnecticutCar oh hi 15:04 ConnecticutCar the camera is yours 15:04 Derek It'll be anytime after 10 am 15:04 Graham ok, got it 15:04 ConnecticutCar Lion just went 15:04 Graham what am I going ot see tonight? 15:05 ConnecticutCar lots of bison 15:05 ConnecticutCar Beehive went this morning as did Grand 15:05 Graham how early was Grand? 15:05 ConnecticutCar Grand went at 12:51 15:05 Graham im sure you got to see another Beehive 15:05 ConnecticutCar yep 15:05 ConnecticutCar it was very early 15:06 Derek :) 15:06 ConnecticutCar 7:58(IE) 15:06 Graham ok, so Grand won't go before dark 15:06 Graham what about Daisy? 15:06 ConnecticutCar As for Lion there was a series of three 15:06 ConnecticutCar I didn't see any Daisy 15:07 ConnecticutCar how was the dentist? 15:08 ConnecticutCar I wrote and e-mail to Pat but haven't heard anything 15:09 Graham Pat may still be out, shes Pacific time 15:09 Graham I had an eye apointment... 15:09 ConnecticutCar oh 15:09 Graham the good news is that theres no indication of any problems in my left eye 15:09 ConnecticutCar thought it was the dentist 15:10 ConnecticutCar that's good 15:10 Graham the bad news is that I can barely read the big letter with my right eye 15:10 Graham and theres nothing they can do about it 15:10 ConnecticutCar sorry to hear that 15:11 Graham I have some retina scaring and it has gotten a bit worse recently but they cant repair it, so I have to take good care of my left eye! 15:12 ConnecticutCar that sounds scarey 15:13 Graham well its not nice but i have clear peripheral vision and they think that will stay ok 15:47 Graham just had a coyote run from left to right but I lost him 15:54 Rich And of course I was off checking on the Iditarod. 15:59 Graham ok, hows the race? 17:05 Anna Hi folks, I'm interested in all things YNP so I'd like to peek in from time to time.

They look.....much bigger when it's just you and them ! 18:23 Rich I was 'isolated' in our camper in the Badlands by a herd of bison 18:23 Graham Theres at least one bison down basin but off the screen to the left Rich 18:23 Robert I bet. 18:23 Rich Right out side the window, not fun looking eye ball to eyeball. 18:23 Rich k 18:24 Robert "Large" would seem to be the appropriate descriptor. 18:24 Rich Yes 18:24 Graham I dont like it when they bed down by the boardwalk, makes them hard to see at night 18:25 Robert We also wandered around in the Lamar Valley once......boy, you sure see the kind of stuff they do when you are up there......all their trials, and the dust wallows they make. 18:26 Robert If you happen to be a fisherman.....it gives you a wonderful excuse to be off the boardwalks and out in things. 18:27 Robert Wading in the river....and all sorts of thermal stuff coming up out of the river bed. 18:28 Graham yeah I have heard of fishermen getting burned wading in the rivers 18:29 Robert One good thing about Bison : If you are out somewhere, and see their tracks....you know that the crust around things is probably safe. 18:31 Graham Bison are now just on the cam, right side of the cone on the left of the screen, near the trees 18:31 Rich also this side of the boardwalk on the static 18:31 Graham still partly behind the cone 18:32 Graham ok, those are easier to see :) 18:33 Rich hehe 18:34 Graham all gone now 18:34 Rich A little 'colour' in the sky tonight. 18:37 Graham they are all headed down into the Inn parking lot 18:37 Rich Have to catch the last bus out for the night. 18:38 Graham Better than the bears trying to get into the parking lot last May 19:04 Graham OF 2002 19:06 Robert Did I miss the first shot.....or did we not get much height ? 19:07 Graham it got stuck 19:07 Robert OF....or the cam ? 19:07 Rich I didn't refresh for 2.5 minutes 19:07 Robert Oh, I see. 19:08 Graham it was a normal eruption 19:08 Robert So I am not the only one who has to refresh my screen here ? 19:08 Graham no, I was watching the streaming cam 19:08 Graham and now I am off to bed 19:08 Robert Good ! 19:09 Graham see you 19:09 Robert take care ! 19:09 Rich Nite Graham 19:14 Rich Goodnite Gracie March 18th, 2009 View March’s Logs 06:50 ConnecticutCar OF erupted at 7:49 08:15 Derek I'm here 08:29 Derek Hi Anna 08:31 Anna Hi, just popping in between appointments. 08:31 Derek ok 08:31 Anna Did OF just go, or getting ready to go? 08:31 Derek 2:47 08:31 Derek Sorry# 08:31 Derek 9:19 08:32 Derek Wrong piece of paper 08:32 Anna Which geyser are you looking at right now? 08:33 Derek That one? 08:33 Anna Yep, it's quite steamy. 08:33 Derek Dome 08:33 Anna Cool. 08:33 Anna is that it's eruption stage? 08:34 Derek It has a small infrequent erruption 08:35 Derek I'm not an expert, but I THINK the one behind the tree and near the walkway is Little Squirt 08:36 Derek Behind that is the Giantess mound 08:37 Anna cool 08:55 ConnecticutCar nice bison shots 08:56 ConnecticutCar really clear 08:57 Derek I took control at 11:15 09:27 Derek Beehive bubblers are active. 09:31 ConnecticutCar did you just try to get me on the phone 09:31 Derek Nope 09:31 ConnecticutCar okay 09:32 Derek I did yesterday :-) 09:32 ConnecticutCar we have been getting garbage calls and I didnot know the exchange so I didn't answer it 09:33 Derek Does your phone have caller display? 09:33 ConnecticutCar I usually can tell when you are calling 09:33 ConnecticutCar you do come in two or three different ways 09:33 ConnecticutCar yes we do have caller ID 09:34 ConnecticutCar that is how I didnot recognize the number 09:34 Derek If I use my mobile you should get something like44 7--------49 09:34 ConnecticutCar it could be a while before Beehive goes....it went overnight 09:34 Derek Skype would have something different 09:35 Derek OF should be due in about 15 minutes 09:35 ConnecticutCar I have an appointment today at 2:00 but should be home by 3:15..please leave the camera in wide angle 09:36 Derek ok 09:36 Derek Tomorrow we are doing the bedroom 09:36 ConnecticutCar what fun 09:36 Derek Hmmm 09:37 ConnecticutCar what time do you think you will be on 09:38 Derek That depends on how soon I can get Beryl up here.

Hi Rich. 08:29 Rich Hi Anna 08:29 Rich Really nice too, with the rising sun. 08:30 Anna Do you all have the same time delay that I do? I would have said that was 0925. And will you make a prediction for the next OF? 08:31 Rich I'm taking the time off the static cam capture 08:31 Anna Do you use the time when you first see water instead of steam? 08:32 Rich I'll say 11:05, lol 08:33 Anna I'll go 1057. At Madison, we used to play "Guess OF" for chuckles. I got pretty good at it, even tho we couldn't see it. 08:33 Rich Blind mans geyser? 08:34 Anna you betcha! LOL! 08:34 Rich I use the time of the timestamp of the first frame with the eruption 08:34 Anna that makes sense. 08:34 Rich hence I will usually be an ie 08:34 Rich I don't have a way of realtiming it. 08:35 Anna got it. do you know the formula the OF folks use--the one about how long it lasts? 08:35 Rich parts of it 08:35 Rich I've read it somewhere, was going to look it up today. 08:35 Anna me too. This year, i'm gunna actually learn it. 08:36 Rich the duration of the eruption, the shorter the duration the sooner the next eruption, is all I've figured out so far. 08:36 Rich lol 08:37 Anna Yep, that's exactly how I learned it. 08:37 Rich Right now I've been working on deciphering the GOSA tables 08:37 Rich Yesterday OF had a very short eruption and CC predicted an hour to next eruption and she was right on, give or take a couple of minutes 08:38 Anna Bryan's new book, page 31. 08:39 Rich I haven't started 'collecting' geyser books - YET! 08:39 Rich ty for the reference 08:40 Anna Get Scott Bryan's 4th edition of the Gs of Ynp.

And right now I should be back to working on my new wolf program for next summer: 08:41 Anna "Who Wants to be a Wolf Watcher?" creative plagerism is my strong suit! 08:41 Rich Sounds interesting. 08:42 Rich Now if you could get the wolves to move in front of the cameras, please. 08:42 Anna i wonder what all those bison are interested in--headding to the west? 08:43 Anna OMG, I would sooo love to see that! i got to go out for 2.5 days in Jan and we didn't see any wolves. bummer that 08:43 Rich I think they are on the general move up the basin, with the fairer weather.\ 08:43 Anna I'll cross my fingers. 08:43 Anna I better get working now--CU. 08:44 Rich I like to fly kites, but found early on that every time I pick up a kite the wind dies.

Rich reported one at 10:49 11:42 ConnecticutCar okay 11:43 Derek There isn't any run-off steam remaining 13:01 ConnecticutCar OF erupted at 14:00 13:08 Derek away I have the cam 13:08 ConnecticutCar okay 13:09 ConnecticutCar I sent you and e-mail 13:10 ConnecticutCar if you can make the picture larger I am going to ask you to make a few more the same siae 13:10 ConnecticutCar size 13:10 Derek away I will have a look 13:14 Derek away OK, sent. 13:26 ConnecticutCar Do you still have the picture 13:27 Derek I sent it to you 13:27 ConnecticutCar It came out a little blurry...can you make it a little smaller. 13:27 Derek It was perfect here 13:27 ConnecticutCar I want to print it on fabric 13:27 ConnecticutCar yes but not on paper 13:27 Derek Must be your picture viewer 13:28 ConnecticutCar what does that mean 13:28 Derek I took it straight from the file. I did not enlarge it. Therefore making it smaller will not improve it. 13:29 ConnecticutCar okay thanks 13:40 Derek Hi Kent 13:42 Kent Just checking to see when the next OF is. Must be bison day in the UGB? 13:45 Kent Derek, do I need to log out of this chat room, or when I move to another URL am I automatically logged out? 13:46 Derek You just close it, and next time you load it, it remembers you 13:48 Kent Thanks. Nice Beehive this morning. First time I have noticed "Close To Cone" between Indicator and Beehive. 14:38 Kent OF 1535:52 static 15:15 Graham Lion 1615ie 15:24 Rich Hi Graham 15:27 Rich Footnote to OF predictinghttp://www.yellowstone.net/geysers/geyser11.htm 15:27 Graham hello 15:28 Rich http://mms.nps.gov/yell/ofvec/exhibits/eruption/pr… http://www.geyserstudy.org/geyser.aspx?pGeyserNo=O… 15:28 Rich Some of the math behind predicting. http://courses.ncssm.edu/math/TCMConf/TCM2004/TCMT… 15:28 Rich Just some urls about predicting OF. Anna and I had a discussion going earlier. 15:28 Rich The last one is a statistical model. 15:29 Graham looks like you have been busy! 15:29 Rich I had a OF ie at 12:26 15:30 Rich Just trying to 'figure' things out. lol 15:30 Graham ok. SO when will it erupt next? 15:30 Rich Not doing to good on predicting yet. 15:30 Rich lol 15:31 Rich I tried on the 12:26 one, but missed by about 20 minutes, I was early. Difficult to tell when the water stops. 15:31 Graham well if you eoll forward the usual 90 min intervals...it would be 456 15:31 Rich So the duration timing was off. 15:31 Rich I'm going back and reverse engineer the prediction and see if I can tell when the water stopped. 15:31 Rich k 15:31 Graham yeah most eruptions are long so 90min predictions work. 15:32 Rich Yesterday's short interval was fun. 15:32 Graham theres a short about every other day I think, then 60min is a good prediction. 15:32 Graham The more detailed prediction on the GOSA site is a bit of overkill for most purposes 15:32 Rich Using one of the charts and the time of the duration I used it should have been a 71 minute, but it was more like the 90 minute. 15:33 Rich So the thing I'm going to do is be early and wait. lol 15:33 Graham 90 min +- 10 works for most eruptions 15:34 Rich good, regularity is always good. 15:34 Rich lol 15:34 Graham yeah but the +- 10 min can accumulate... 15:34 Rich Beehive indicator steamed for quite a while this morning. 15:35 Graham OF was at 1400 too 15:35 Rich k 15:35 Graham Beehive was 1021 15:35 Rich yep 15:36 Rich I've only been logging the times if I think there is no one else around. 15:36 Graham yeah thanks for last nights log, I checked it late 15:36 Rich np 15:37 Rich I ended up going out last night so I didn't stay till dark. 15:37 Graham Not sure if Grand has gone again yet 15:37 Graham ok, I was out early and came back in time for Lion 15:37 Graham not sure who is running the cam now, probably Carolyn 15:37 Rich I think it is the second link above, has some info on intervals on several of the other geysers. 15:38 Rich But I can't see most of them so will stick to OF. 15:39 Rich k 15:39 Graham yeah. Plume gets quite regular but intervls vary day-to-day.

I can pretty much see OF on static cam. Everything is very steamy this morning. 06:34 Anna Hi Derek 06:37 Derek Hi 06:37 Anna Lion or beehive at 736. With the steam, I can't tell which, but there's a lot and it went straight up. I'm leaning towards BH 06:37 Derek The streaming cam is not being moved until it's been cleaned. 06:38 Derek That has been agreed by all four operators 06:38 Anna I can only see one little smidge out of it. I read the logs about not moving it. Sounds like a great decision. 06:40 Derek It all hangs on when they can get someone down from Mamouth to clean it. 06:40 Anna I'm looking at static cam, and now I think it must have been Lion that erupted. Too far back to be BH, I think. 06:40 Anna OF has been steaming a lot since 7:15 06:41 Anna OF 7:40:49 08:08 Rich Lion ie 09:06:007 10:03 Rich OF ie 09:10:57 10:04 Rich I believe there was a short OF interval OF ie 10:07:18 10:06 Rich so my prediction for OF is 11:35 10:51 Rich Of ie 11:50:24 12:23 Derek Hi Rich, bear in mind when you use the static cam to time an erruption there could easily be up to a minute error due to transmission delays :-) 12:24 Derek and missing frames 12:27 Rich I'm using the time from the timestamp on the image. 12:27 Rich And I think I'm losing it anyway. The short interval threw me off. 12:28 Rich And I would be surprised if I ever caught an actual eruption starting. 12:30 Rich I think CC gave me her cold. lol 15:23 Rich Hi Graham 15:29 Graham hello 15:29 Graham didnt have my speakers on :) 15:29 Rich np 15:30 Rich You get to see Beehive? 15:30 Graham I am not going to stay on tonight as the streaming cam is too dirth 15:30 Rich sure 15:30 Graham I dont see much at work, I cant get to the internet most of the day 15:30 Graham Pat sent me a screen capture though 15:30 Rich OF steamed the cames earlier, I was hoping it would clear a little. 15:30 Graham that was dirty, not drth! 15:31 Rich k 15:31 Rich I read cybertype 15:31 Rich lol 15:31 Graham yeah i saw the water/ice on the cam and glad it cleared 15:32 Rich a short interval on OF today also 15:35 Graham it seems to eb doing more of them, it will be interesting to see the stats when they get downloaded 15:36 Rich I missed the 1:15ish OF so thought it was a very long interval after that. 15:38 Rich I did get an ash capture from Redoubt volcano this morning. 15:41 Graham its amazing seeing what volcanos can do 15:42 Rich yes 15:43 Graham well im going to find something else to do tonight, see you 15:43 Rich I was flying to Seattle when the July eruptions happened.
