Not really trying to figure it out tho, Rich is the chart-master 14:41 Rich lol 14:41 Rich On those it is just a feeling. 14:41 Rich Since I can't see them that well. 14:42 Graham well you should see how much more vertical it is than Oblong though by now 14:42 Rich Yes, 08:36 was vertical 14:47 Rich Lion ie 15:46:32 14:48 Rich Notice how I suckered you away so I could get Lion? 14:49 Graham hehe I was distracted. you watching for Plume? 14:49 Rich Pluem? 14:50 Rich I'm still capturing Liion 14:50 Graham Plume 1549 14:50 Rich Plume ie 15:49:54 14:50 Rich lol 14:52 Rich If you are wondering Bruce, I'm the resident Static Cam viewer. 14:52 Rich Graham makes me 'work'. 14:52 Rich lol 14:53 Rich But I'm learning. 14:54 Graham Rich is a master at spotting bison way down in the meadows, but hes still learning where Plume is :) 14:56 Rich It's a good thing I had to reload the chat log to catch that one Graham. 14:56 Rich lol 14:58 Rich I preferred to 'spot' the bear. 15:00 Graham where? 15:00 Bruce Jensen You guys are funny ;P 15:01 Rich Just after CC got the first bear on the live cam, I got the bear on the static cam. 15:02 Rich I broke out another chocolate bar, I'll be ready to go in a couple of minutes. 15:02 Rich lol 15:03 Graham have not heard of any bears aroung OF since the last webcam sighting 15:04 Rich right 15:04 Rich Boy I can be confusing, can't I. 15:05 Bruce Jensen MMMM - chocolate - back in a minute... 15:05 Rich lol 15:07 Bruce Jensen Anyone see what Penta looks like on this thing? 15:07 Bruce Jensen Must be over theer just beyond Spasmodic 15:12 Rich That's Graham's responsibility. 15:12 Bruce Jensen Well, another 2 oz. of chocolate down the hatch... 15:13 Rich I'm having Dove Blueberry/Almond 15:13 Bruce Jensen Oh, you go for the flavored stuff, eh?

My cousins and Uncle and Aunt live there. 16:17 Rich You didn't have Mrs. Pugh. lol 16:17 Bruce Jensen Was Mrs. Pugh a "stickler"? 16:17 Rich Next step would have been a Nun. 16:17 Graham shes heading out at 0300 to the park 16:17 Bruce Jensen Bunch os'team at Turban 16:17 Rich Yes. 16:18 Graham that looks further left tho, maybe West Triplet? 16:18 Graham or Rift 16:18 Bruce Jensen Might be WT 16:18 Bruce Jensen Looks a bit big for WT, thuogh. 16:19 Bruce Jensen If it is WT, that may be a very good sign 16:19 Graham yeah....probably Turban though haha 16:20 Bruce Jensen That's a lot of steam. If I were a betting man, I'd put my money on Rift rather than WT - but maybe Turban (the timing is right). 16:20 Rich BETTING WINDOW is now open. 16:20 Rich Place your bets here. 16:21 Rich (let's see, how much do I need to get to YNP?) 16:21 Rich Minumum Bet $300. 16:21 Bruce Jensen If it's still on in 4 minutes, I'll bet Rift. 16:22 Graham send me the momney Rich and I will play the slots form you in Vegas next weekend 16:22 Rich hehe 16:22 Rich And the horse has left the barn. 16:23 Graham looks like more steam than Turban usually gives us 16:23 Rich If I had that much money together I'd be going to YNP. lol 16:24 Rich Course I'd have to find a job to earn money to come home. 16:25 Graham well they have 6 openings :) 16:28 Rich lol 16:28 Rich Chicken/rice and steamed fresh broccolli for dinner tonight. 16:31 Graham Grand was 1012 16:31 Graham last Daisy 1229 16:31 Rich ok that's the second event I captured then. 16:31 Graham reported by Scott anyway 16:40 Bruce Jensen I'm already buying lottery tickets to help a friendget to Yellowstone - Rich, consider yourself in the mix :-) 16:40 Bruce Jensen Grand could be anytime, then. 16:41 Rich Another couple of hours for Beehive. lol 16:41 Bruce Jensen I'm betting that steam is Rift.

It looks like a great place to visit. 09:13 Derek There they are again 09:13 Bruce Jensen A quick bunch-up at the junction, and then - 09:14 Derek Graham Meech is on his way there today 09:14 Bruce Jensen Cool - lucky guy. 09:15 Bruce Jensen I was thinking yesterday that it would be cool if we had another audo channel that aired the gazer chatter - not only would it be interesting, it would help to aim the cam. 09:16 Derek Round behind Giantess 09:38 Bruce Jensen Derek, see a Daisy yet today? 09:38 Bruce Jensen Tiny kids - no leashes! 09:38 Derek Must admit I haven't been looking down that way very much. 09:39 Bruce Jensen Thinking that yesterday afternoon's Grand might have been delayed a bit by Rift - might be late morning today...? 09:40 Derek You're the expert :-) 09:40 Bruce Jensen ...but *you* know if Grand has played yet today /:) 09:41 Derek Nope. I haven't been watching all the time :P 09:46 Bruce Jensen Lokk at the urchins, playinmg in the gravel... 09:46 Derek Yep 09:48 Bruce Jensen You know, I have changed browsers (now use Google Chrome) and I still cannto see the extyra links Paul placed on this page. Hmmm... 09:48 Derek I've never seen them on IE or Firefox 09:49 Bruce Jensen Were you on the camera when those guys desecrated OF a couple weeks back? 09:49 Derek No, I just read about it. 09:50 Bruce Jensen Apparently some videos have been circulating taken off the cam - pretty messed up - those yeehaws. 09:50 Bruce Jensen OF 1050 09:50 Derek Nice O.F. 09:51 Bruce Jensen Just gorgeous! 09:51 Bruce Jensen Hey, Guest, what do you think? :-) 09:52 Derek Guests don't usualy chat 09:53 Bruce Jensen I know - just an acknowledgment would be nice, tho :-) how can one remian silent? 09:53 Derek You an me would find it difficult ;-) 09:54 Bruce Jensen LOL - I'm a shy person normally, but geysers just make me garrulous... 09:54 Derek You shy? :'D 09:55 Bruce Jensen Man - If I go to a party, I'm the most miserable person there. Silent, brooding, eager to leave. Yepp, pessimsitic and shy. I cover it well, but it's true. 09:56 Derek I am not a party animal either 09:57 Derek Have you seen the new street level Google images of the Old Faithul area? 09:57 Bruce Jensen Once I knwo a perosn, I'm OK - but I do well in situations like this one - where faces are a bit more anonymous and I can measure my words more carefully. I know I'm not a dumb guy, but I can say some stupid things. 09:58 Bruce Jensen Have not see the street level GE images. I'll check 'em now... 10:04 Bruce Jensen Well, just had a look - all the shots were taken form a vehicle, apparently - is that right? 10:04 Derek Yep 10:05 Derek They have covered most of London but not my area yet. 10:07 Bruce Jensen It is remarkable how well it gives a sense of place. Watching the scene move aorund you in a circle is startlingly real. That is really what the OF area looks like from the roads. 10:10 Derek Just emailed you a picture. 10:12 Bruce Jensen They got my general neighborhood, but not my exact street - oh well! Who neesd the publicity anyway? 10:12 Derek By the way, that bird was actually bread at that wildlife sanctuary. 10:16 Bruce Jensen Bred him there, eh? Nice shot, and enlarges very well too. Do they ever let him fly? Or does he think he's a perosn? ;-) 10:17 Derek He flies around the park but never forgets to come back 10:18 Bruce Jensen Well, that's great! He's a lucky eagle. 10:18 Derek They also have a full sized Golden Eagle too. 10:19 Derek The Golden Eagle actually flew a few miles to Land's End and caught a Rabit. 10:19 Bruce Jensen Very cool - Goldies are even slighlty bigger than baldies. We have many goldies around here - in fact, Alameda County has the highest density of goldies in North America. We see them often when out hiking. 10:20 Bruce Jensen So the birds get to hunt and then come back? How doe sthat square with the local environmentalists? :-D 10:20 Derek The park has all their birds of prey radio tagged. 10:21 Derek They have large parrots flying around loose as well. 10:21 Derek Nobody has complained 10:21 Bruce Jensen You don't have wild pops of these guys, do you? Parrots too? Do they attack the nut trees? 10:21 Derek They all come back to the park for their meals :-) 10:22 Bruce Jensen San Francisco has a large parrot population. Pretty funny :-) Yes, meals are a storng attractyion for pets... 10:24 Bruce Jensen (sigh) well unfortunately I need to get on with my day. Lots to do around this dump, No rest for the weary. See ya for now, may be back in awhile.
