07:55 Derek Beryl's wheelchair broke a wheel

07:56 carol oh no! can u get a new one or fix the wheel?
07:57 Derek We have a free national health service wheelchair coming in a few weeks so we've had to buy a new wheel for this one meantime
07:59 Derek The new wheel is about 20 pounds which is about 35 bucks
08:00 carol gotta have wheels! sounds like the web cam has been....fussy lately. stop[ped on me last nite.....unforseen expenses always happen it the worst time
08:00 Rich another sunshiny day in Seattle
08:00 Rich Chat log is intersting this morning also, Today is tacked onto June 30th's log
08:00 Derek I was on the cam until 15:00 MDT and it was fine up till then
08:02 Derek My camcorder also has a problem so that's being fixed
08:03 carol it was in the late afternoon yesterday w graham. its on the log from yesterday that is attached to todays...:D
08:03 Derek I saw it :-)

08:04 Derek Perhaps we should book Graham in for another cam driving test :P
08:04 Derek I don't know when the last BH was
08:04 carol X-D
08:04 Derek Rich is the guy who's logging the BH intervals
08:05 carol still waiting for a call from mr. crawley re: cam op
08:05 carol said it would be a month or so
08:06 Derek Tom Cawley or maybe even Craig Johnson
08:06 carol either one! they on vaca i think
08:06 Rich Beehive was yesterday 12:35
08:07 carol ok gotta go to wk. have great day. thanks rich!
08:07 Derek I think CC said Tom is due back in the park any day now.
08:07 Derek So Sir Rich, what is your prediction for the next Beehive ;-)
08:07 carol i'm home till tomorrow afternoon then back up to celebrate the 4th in tahoe with the kids
08:08 carol cu
08:08 Derek :-)
08:08 Rich bye carol
08:10 Derek So Rich, do you have an approximate prediction? It would be interesting to see how close you get.
08:12 Rich The time I'm getting is 15:40
08:13 Derek Hmmm, I will be gone by then.
08:13 Rich Usually when Graham asks prediction is based on his time zone, don't know what your time zone will do. g
08:13 Rich Could be 15:40 your time
08:14 Rich Or 03:40 in the morning. g
08:14 Derek Don't forget I'm GMT
08:14 Derek EDT + 5 hours MDT + 7 hours
08:15 Rich I don't know whether my 'time' is affected by such things. lol
08:15 sparekitty and, coming into the middle of this conversation, i'm ENTIRELY confused! morning, guys.
08:15 Rich Or it could be MDT predition. Never tried a long distance predition. g
08:15 Derek Hehe
08:15 Rich Morning sparekitty
08:16 Derek I think the room should stick to MDT
08:16 Rich Just doing a little Beehive predicting, sparekitty.
08:17 Rich I always do, just can't control predictions point of origins.
08:19 Derek If you say the next BH may be 15:40 MDT then here in UK it will be 22:40 BST (British Summer Time)
08:20 Rich Or 15:40 BST
08:20 Derek I think I need some headache pills
08:21 Derek If you meant 15:40 BST then I missed it
08:21 Rich You think you do?????
08:22 Derek It's 16:22 BST right now
08:22 Rich Might be tomorrow for you.
08:22 Derek Almost time for my afternoon cuppa
08:22 Rich Then maybe it will be 3:40 in the morning for you.
08:25 Rich Right now it is breakfast time for me.
08:25 Rich Porridge and milk.
08:25 Derek Yuck
08:28 Rich Oatmeal every morning
08:30 Derek I vary mine. Grapenuts and milk one morning. Rice Krispies and Weetabix on the next morning then Krispies and Shreddies
08:32 Rich Cheerios go on sale today, so that is going to be added to the menu
08:33 sparekitty what is porrige anyway?
08:33 Rich Also might go to Larson Brothers and get Danish pastry.
08:33 sparekitty weetabix?
08:33 sparekitty whatever happened to eggs and toast for breakfast?
08:34 sparekitty hey rich, there was a cheerios coupon in the sunday paper...be sure to use that (provided coupons are similarly offered)
08:34 Rich http://www.larsensbakery.com/
08:35 Rich ty sparekitty
08:35 Rich larsens bakery is about 1 1/2 miles away. Just far enough 'not' to have it every morning. lol
08:36 Rich Doctors, happened to eggs and bacon for breakfast.
08:36 Rich porridge is oatmeal
08:36 sparekitty oatmeal--that i understand.
08:37 Rich http://www.weetabix.co.uk/

15:29 Graham what did you do today?
15:31 Jason Firefox Cleaned out my desk, printed out new phone numbers, did yearly reviews, reviewed policy, and got to my last straw and now enforce the rules :)
15:31 Jason Firefox I was evil manager today
15:32 Jason Firefox Some got raises, others didn't
15:32 Jason Firefox I'm sure that won't make me friends with them
15:32 Jason Firefox oh well. Next time don't complain about being shorted 15 minutes of OT when you can call in pretty much any time
15:32 Jason Firefox 2 week for vacation time, 1 week for pto, 4 hours for sick or write up
15:33 Jason Firefox <- got peeved.
15:33 Jason Firefox oh and almost sent an hourly home when they were playing with their kindle and watching movies online
15:33 Jason Firefox Funny thing is, I didn't see them after I told them one gets to go home if theres nothing to do
15:34 Jason Firefox sorry, still a little red in the face 8)
15:41 Graham haha
15:41 Graham sounds like an exciting day!
15:41 Graham did you book your trip yet?
15:42 Jason Firefox not yet, gotta talk to my wifes brothers
15:42 Jason Firefox Although I dropped the hint in my bosses ear :D
15:42 Graham you have to get permission from a lot of people!
15:43 Graham I justtell my boss I am going on vacation..and he says "yeah to yellowstone, I know"
15:43 Graham they get confused if I go somewhere else
15:44 Jason Firefox It's mainly my wife.. :D
15:44 Jason Firefox We just had a new baby
15:44 Jason Firefox and our first
15:44 Graham ah, congrats
15:45 Graham so a lot to get used to
15:45 Jason Firefox She's wonderful
15:45 Jason Firefox shes only 3 months and trying to crawl
15:45 Jason Firefox she wants to walk
15:45 Jason Firefox and a Eurasian baby, so I'm going to have issues with boys I know
15:46 Jason Firefox Chinese features, green eyes, and some white tossed in to boot
15:46 Graham haha..get that gun out
15:46 Jason Firefox Yeah .. Shotgun and the good old 'talking to' on what a shotgun can do to a person if they arn't home on time 8)
15:47 Jason Firefox She got a good mix. My forhead, my wifes eyes and chin, my ears, my wifes feet, and she's a creamy texture not quite dark
15:47 Jason Firefox and i guess my blue eyes tossed in the gene for Green because she's not changing to brown
15:48 Jason Firefox hold on I can send you a picture
15:48 Graham k
15:49 Rich You'd think you guys were never young.
15:49 Rich Talking about shotguns. lol
15:49 Graham me, i'm still young
15:50 Rich When was the last time a 'father' sat you down and gave you the 'talk'?
15:52 Jason Firefox I didn't date in highschool :P
15:53 Graham thats what twitter is for
15:53 Rich lol
15:53 Jason Firefox mine was IRC :P
15:53 Jason Firefox much better than twitter
15:53 Jason Firefox both pictures sent
15:55 Graham nice pics
15:55 Graham so you will be busy travelling with her t othe park
15:55 Graham Rich, when are you going?
15:55 Jason Firefox I think we'll leave chings parents house as they wanted to see the baby
15:55 Jason Firefox me and her bro would be the one visiting if I can get him to pay half the room/gas
15:56 Rich Right, when I get there.
15:57 Jason Firefox they don't speak english, so it's the perfect get away. they get family time and I get yellowstone
15:57 Rich very well done
15:57 Graham yeah but she could see her first geyser eruption...gazer for life
16:01 Jason Firefox Yeah but she wouldn't remember :(
16:01 Jason Firefox thats when she's 4 year old :D
16:01 Jason Firefox that's about the time I remembered my first vacation and that still left an impression on me for colorado and mountains
16:01 Jason Firefox The best part was Ching was saying her brothers always wanted to go to see the Geysers
16:02 Jason Firefox a few days ago when I mentioned it
16:02 Jason Firefox I'm the perfect guide :D
16:02 Jason Firefox All I have to do is buy a new walkie
16:03 Jason Firefox and get lucky with Giant or Giantess or Splendid or Steamboat 8)
16:03 Graham more chance for F&M
16:03 Jason Firefox Probably
16:06 Jason Firefox looks like my smart phone gets coverage around old faithful
16:06 Graham there is cell coverage down to F&M at least
16:07 Graham I had a Beehive Indicator call down there this winter and used it in Sept to report event cycles
16:07 Graham there are some dead spots too
16:07 Jason Firefox People still using radios on chan 4 sub 5?
16:09 Graham yep
16:09 Graham used phone for night-time F&M events in case the radio reception didnt reach the cabins
16:10 Graham all I could hear in the cabin was crackle crackle
16:10 Graham which was enough to get me up
16:10 Graham then the call told me where we were in the event cycle to help me figure out how fast to move
16:16 Jason Firefox which two way is best for going?
16:18 Graham the Motorola radios seem to be the best but not the cheapest
16:18 Jason Firefox $40 isn't to bad
16:18 Jason Firefox thats what they are on amazon
16:20 Graham yeah they are not expensive. well worth it
16:21 Graham Plume 1720
16:21 Graham nearly missed it :)
16:24 Jason Firefox off to home for me. ttyl!

15:23 Rich Every body wave
15:32 Rich I'm tring to find a mtv converter,so I can convert the YNP vids to play on Loisb's mp3 player.
15:32 Graham beyond me
15:34 Rich So for it is for me also.
15:43 Jason Firefox mtv or mkv?
15:45 Jason Firefox if mkv, Ps3 Video converter works well. http://www.redkawa.com/videoconverters/ps3video9/
15:45 Jason Firefox also videora
15:45 Jason Firefox http://www.videora.com/
15:45 Rich thank you Jason, the 'manual' for the mp3 player says mtv
15:46 Graham Plume 1645
15:46 Jason Firefox need to convert from or to?
15:46 Jason Firefox and what file are you converting, avi?
15:49 Jason Firefox either way: for mtv http://mympxplayer.org/mtv-convert-tool-313-mp3-player-utilities-313-df271.html
15:52 Rich as it turns out, i'm downloading mtv converter 3.06 right now, about half way done.
15:53 Rich Is there enough difference in the mtv converter utilities version?
15:55 Graham hum..of keeps having huge splashes
15:55 Graham maybe its broken
15:56 Rich false eruption?
15:57 Graham minors
16:04 Graham tried again
16:05 Graham and failed
16:07 Jason Firefox Not sure Rich, just went looking for converters for you
16:08 Rich Thanks Jason, all are a help, and everyone knows I need 'help'. lol
16:08 Rich OF?
16:09 Rich Is it going to preplay all night?
16:09 Jason Firefox interesting
16:09 Jason Firefox I thought that surge would have triggered it
16:10 Rich Must be results of the volcanon Sarychev Peak.
16:10 Rich Sure looked like it.
16:10 Graham way late now
16:10 Rich way

16:14 Rich Graham has an advantage
16:15 Rich he see it on the feed
16:16 Rich That should start tongues wagging. lol
16:17 Jason Firefox doesn't seem to be a very strong eruption either
16:18 Graham thats actually not unusual, longer intervals don't lead to strong eruptions
16:19 Rich I'll hold out for earthquake interference. g
16:20 Graham Interval must have been 119 (or maybe 120 based on their prediction)
16:21 Rich The predictions have been running from the previous start of eruption.
16:21 Rich not end of water.
16:21 Graham longest interval of the year so far!

14:08 Victoria Hello gentlemen. Area radar is showing some serious stuff headed towards the Park. Will only continue to get darker and wetter.
14:10 Graham looked darker a while ago but that might just be the auto exposure on the cam kicking in
14:11 Graham waiting for Grand for you
14:11 Victoria fixed cam is showing very grey clouds.
14:12 Victoria and rain to the north of the UGB
14:12 Victoria you are a dear Graham. Knew there was a reason I took a break to come here.
14:13 Graham rain good, lightning strikes not good
14:13 Graham Beehive may take a little longer since Pat made it erupt early today
14:15 Victoria Haaahaaaa!. Could be lightening. Radar showing localized cells of serious weather. Hard to tell because of some lack of coverage in the two radar areas.
14:16 Graham time for plume soon

03:10 Derek Hello
03:10 Derek or HI
03:58 Derek Hi Jason
05:35 Graham looks like we are back
05:39 Graham Beehive was 2138 yesterday
05:42 Graham morning
05:43 Grant Camper anyone here this morning
05:44 Graham I am
05:44 Graham looks like a nice day
05:44 Grant Camper This is kind of cool. You can watch the cam and talk about it. I just found it via my geyser list serve that I get. I thought i would check it out.
05:45 Grant Camper Yeah, would certainly like to be in Yellowstone.
05:45 Graham yep
05:45 Graham this page was down yesterday but is working today. Paul may have got the post and fixed it
05:46 Grant Camper It's great!
05:46 Grant Camper Have you been to Yellowstone yet this year?
05:47 Graham in January
05:47 Graham next trip is August
05:47 Graham you?
05:48 Grant Camper Very cool. I've never been that time of year.
05:48 Grant Camper I am going in August. Only 4 weeks away today.
05:49 Grant Camper We went up to Brooks lake and the Tetons. Usually visit Yellowstone 2 times a year.
05:49 Grant Camper bee hive
05:49 Graham that's good. Winter is nice, its my third year in a row. SO far I have missed the -40 and all snow weeks
05:50 Grant Camper I bet it would be wonderful and quiet.
05:50 Graham just over 11 hours since the last Beehive so its a bit early but has a good chance this morning
05:51 Graham the scenery is different wit hthe snow blanket very quiet early and late but a few people around during the day on the snowcoaches and snowmobiles
05:51 Grant Camper Yeah, no indicator yet.
05:51 Graham I got to see Giant in 2008 in the winter too which was exciting
05:52 Grant Camper Do you snow coach in?
05:52 Grant Camper I bet there is a lot of snow then.
05:52 Grant Camper at Grant I mean.
05:52 Graham have to take all the cold weather gear in case of bad weather though. it has been down -15 when I have been there and some snow, blowing and drifting snow one night
05:52 Grant Camper Giant
05:52 Grant Camper My reading vision not good
05:52 Graham yes, first time from Mammoth and the last two from West
05:53 Grant Camper Wow Awesome. That would be something to write home about.
05:53 Graham the cage was filled with snow but it sloped from full on the Grotto side to almost nothing in front of Giants cone
05:54 Graham i did the lower loop snowcoach this year, to West Thumb and Canyon which was a nice trip too
05:54 Grant Camper Wow. I bet you got pictures. Those would be great pictures.
05:55 Grant Camper There is a lot of snow especially around the lake area.
05:57 Graham Heres this years trip http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=2010662&id=1470722670&l=b0bd73cd0b

05:58 Graham http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=2001974&id=1470722670&l=5d550d0510
05:58 Graham hello
05:58 Derek Ahhh someone can see me :-)
05:58 Grant Camper Yeah, we were up last year in May. some of the snow then was above our car.
05:59 Derek I thought for a minute that Graham had his derek filter switched on :-)
06:00 Grant Camper Where do you get a Derek filter?
06:00 Grant Camper Those are awesome pictures Very nice!
06:00 Derek Ask Graham
06:01 Graham figured I would coma back here since its up again
06:01 Graham Beehive went again in daylight last night per Pat 2138
06:01 Graham thanks
06:01 Derek It came back just after you signed off yesterday
06:01 Grant Camper I just found it.
06:02 Graham haha I never ignore you Derek
06:02 Derek But I have got my standby room running OK now. Logs, clock, player.
06:03 Grant Camper I was telling Graham I found this via the Geyser list serve
06:03 Graham log is still down here
06:03 Derek camchat and camchat2 both go to the same place
06:03 Graham I like the clock
06:03 Graham that's because Derek asked me to post the links :)
06:04 Grant Camper Thank you Derek :)
06:04 Derek Log is OK in mine
06:05 Derek  
http://www.tgoeuk.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk
06:05 Derek My pictorial website
06:05 Derek In the Yellowstone section there are pictures from Graham
06:05 Derek Bruce Jensen and Carolyn
06:06 Grant Camper It looks like a nice website.
06:06 Grant Camper I am struggling with my photo shop.
06:07 Derek My son built the structure of the site
06:07 Derek I just added the pics
06:08 Graham Lynns email is out
06:08 Graham thought I would pu***** out since theres not much other news
06:09 Grant Camper (there is Old Faithful) It is easy user friendly easy to understand
06:09 Derek Meebo still haven't solved the intermittent connection problem, so don't be sirprised if we lose it again
06:09 Graham I need a real geyser fix!
06:09 Derek I'm logged into both rooms
06:09 Graham ok
06:09 Grant Camper pretty proud of myself that I can identify Old Faithful :)
06:10 Derek Roughly where are you Grant?
06:11 Grant Camper I live in Colorado.
06:11 Grant Camper Northern Colorado. You?
06:12 Derek Near Denver?
06:12 Derek 35 miles east of London
06:12 Graham cam lens is getting dirty again Derek
06:12 Grant Camper Loveland
06:12 Graham you have to be specific with locations for Derek :)
06:12 Derek Needs the wet sponge
06:12 Grant Camper Wow! That's a ways off. So your chatting with a British accent!
06:13 Graham uhoh, thats John Warnock land
06:13 Derek One of my fascinations is the old Denver and Rio Grand railroad
06:13 Derek Grahams an ex Brit
06:14 Derek But you can't tell by his voice :-)
06:14 Grant Camper No, never would have guessed it.
06:15 Grant Camper Do you get to Yellowstone often?
06:15 Derek Graham and Me are two of the four cam operators
06:15 Graham I am working on my New Zealand accent
06:15 Derek I have been to the USA but not Yellowstone
06:16 Grant Camper Ahhh of course New Zealand
06:16 Derek My Brother lives in CT, not far from our cam supervisor
06:16 Grant Camper Really.
06:16 Grant Camper So, you watch the park from the web cam.
06:17 Grant Camper ?
06:17 Derek In 1972 I visited the USA and stayed not far from where Graham is now. :-)
06:18 Graham small world huh?
06:18 Derek So I went to VA once and NY state 3 times
06:18 Grant Camper You should see the west.
06:19 Derek Too expensive
06:19 Grant Camper But you know quite a bit about Yellowstone?
06:19 Derek I have to be content with UK vacations
06:19 Grant Camper MMMM. Same reason I don't go to Europe.
06:20 Derek Thanks to good people like Graham
06:20 Derek They have taught me a lot
06:20 Grant Camper Someday.
06:21 Graham I am working on photos from last night Derek if you want the cam
06:22 Grant Camper I want to go to Westminster Abbey.
06:22 Graham to add to the small world, my sister lives in Aurora and niece went to UNC
06:22 Grant Camper Someday.
06:23 Grant Camper Ahh UNC. That is where I got my teacher license.
06:23 Graham probably be in Denver for Christmas
06:24 Grant Camper Yeah, it's a nice place.
06:24 Grant Camper So, Derek do you remotely control the camera or do you keep the website up?
06:26 Derek The cam operators use software supplied by the Yellowstone web manager
06:26 Graham You do a great job here Derek, never having been to the park!
06:27 Grant Camper Yes, very good. I really enjoy the live webcam!
06:27 Derek Grant, try this: http://webcams.gajda.cz/
06:27 Derek There are several webcams there
06:28 Derek You can control them using a similar interface to what we use.
06:28 Grant Camper You probably manage more than Yellowstone's web cam.
06:28 Graham I have some shots of the WW II memorial Derek for you to show your Father in law. Hows he doing now?
06:28 Grant Camper Wow
06:29 Derek He was a lot better on Friday. We will see him again tomorrow
06:29 Grant Camper Well, I better be going. It was nice to meet you both. Great work Derek. And Graham, you are a lucky duck seeing Giant.
06:30 Derek ok
06:30 Grant Camper :)
06:30 Graham thanks, see ya
06:31 Derek Hi Kent
06:33 Derek Graham. I normally take over at 10:00 EDT, but I haven't done the dishes yet, so I'll pop downstairs and check if Beryl is ready. She prefers to supervise dish washing, so I can't start until she's ready :-)
06:33 Kent Good mornig Derek. I guess afternoon in your case. Nice 2nd Beehive last night.
06:33 Graham reading Lynns email...seeing she has to tell people how to read the logbook to find the F&M reports
06:34 Derek 14:34 BST

06:35 Graham it was very nice
06:35 Derek OK, see my last message, I'm off downstairs.

07:50 Derek http://yellowstone.paulthompson.net/camchat/
08:08 Kent Graham, any guess on Beehive? I'm hoping before noon.
08:10 Graham well it was ~930 last night, so 1130 MDT would be a good guess based on recent intervals. Still, it's due to put in a long interval soon...
08:11 Rich Hi Everyone
08:11 Kent It has been giving us a show lately. I approve:)
08:11 Rich hi guest684231

09:00 Rich No faith in your own predictions?
09:00 Graham just before it erupts
09:02 Graham well that was my "Beehive hates me" prediction
09:09 Rich hehe
09:10 Derek There's a lot of people around Beehive. Maybe they can see something that we can't.
09:11 Chris D It is hard to see water in the indicator from here.
09:16 Rich I still think we should have a taskable satellite at our disposal.
09:17 Graham its not hard Chris...Pat calls it from Portland
09:18 Graham you just have t owatch for the gazers to jump up
09:18 Graham and she does it from the static cam too
09:29 Rich Hi Pat S

09:40 Rich 1 hour and counting down. g
09:41 PatS LOL hello!
09:41 Derek Hi PatS
09:42 PatS Well I got a lucky Beehive before dark last night, got myself out of bed this morning hoping to see Beehive again today.
09:42 Graham hi Pat
09:42 PatS Hi Derek!
09:42 Graham Beehive has been waiting for you and Carolyn
09:42 PatS Wait for the gazers to jump up, that's water when they do.
09:42 PatS Hi Graham
09:43 Graham hehe, I just told them that, Chris said you couldn't tell if theres water in the indicator and I told them you can tell :)
09:43 PatS One of us two is here, anyway!
09:44 PatS Thought I would try out the chat room.
09:45 PatS Oh that's why my ears were burning. That was a nice little splash there.
09:45 Rich Welcome

09:49 PatS I just like typing the word INDICATOR
09:49 Rich lol
09:50 Derek I sometimes get the distinct impression that I'm invisible :-)
09:50 Graham is that the Indicator?
09:50 PatS Cannot see it at all on the still cam. OF steam covering it up.
09:50 Rich There is an option so you can change your status. lol\
09:51 Derek It's amazing the amount of times I've come into this room and had to speak several times before anyone responds
09:51 Derek Maybe I need to change my perfume ;P
09:52 PatS I thought we were close for the Indicator by that rather nice splash we just had
09:52 PatS lol
09:52 PatS My excuse is that I didn't read the tiny type carefully
09:52 Rich There was a week not to long ago that I was alone here. g
09:53 Graham I wonder when Derek will show up?
09:53 Derek Grrrrrrrr
09:53 Rich He said he would be here today.
09:54 HAL Running diagnositic now.
09:54 PatS Derek who?
09:54 Derek I feel like Homer Simpson when Mr Burns never remembers him.
09:54 Graham this will have to be a long indicator to make my 1130 prediction
09:54 HAL Derek Bryce
09:55 Graham hum...10 all at Wimbledon.....

17:27 Rich Hi Graham
17:28 Graham hello
17:28 Graham that was Oblong
17:29 Graham I posted the fireworks
17:29 Graham sitting back from keyboard so won't be very chatty
17:33 Rich when have you ever been. g
17:36 Rich Hi to your Mother. Hope she had a good flight.
17:37 Graham she did, I am trying to be sociable now :) yeah I know thats hard for me!
17:40 Rich You need to get a computer to put next to yours, so your Mother can join in. Visit with us all. g
17:41 Rich We are watching your fireworks display. Enjoying them very much. thank you.
17:48 Graham u r welcome...have to make the appropriate oohhhh Ahhhhhh sounds while you watch too
18:00 Rich But of course.
18:21 grant camper very pretty view of the firehole Valley! Nice
18:23 Graham brought to you by Canon
18:24 grant camper Very nice! The whole web cam thing has come quite a ways since the first Mammoth Webcam. This is great!
18:30 Rich hi grant camper
18:31 Rich Everybody wave
18:33 grant camper wave!:)
18:35 grant camper Where you from Rich; general area?
18:35 Rich g
18:36 grant camper g---where is that?
18:38 Rich I'm in Seattle at the moment, I live in Paradise, CA.
18:38 Rich Visiting family for July.
18:39 grant camper Oh okay.
18:39 grant camper Seattle is a nice place.
18:39 Rich What area of Colorado? Aurora?
18:40 Rich Very nice
18:40 grant camper Loveland
18:40 grant camper which is 30 miles north of Denver
18:40 grant camper There she is---Old Faithful. Nice one.
18:41 Rich Been thru lots of times traveling back and forth from KC to CA.
18:41 Rich We lived in Aurora when I was 2-4 y/o
18:42 Rich GGgrand parents lived in Denver.
18:42 grant camper It's a nice area. We went to California this spring. So Cal
18:43 Rich I live 90 miles north of Sacamento.
18:44 grant camper I've been to Sacramento many years ago. So you are definitely up north.
18:45 grant camper Do you visit Yellowstone?
18:46 Rich I've only been a couple of times as an adult. Was there several times as a child.
18:46 Rich Last times were the year before the fire and the year after.
18:47 grant camper So, do you manage the website like Derek?
18:48 Rich no, just a dedicated watcher.
18:49 Rich Cam ops are CC, Derek, Graham and Gary.
18:49 grant camper I've been there probably 27 times, worked in Yellowstone a summer and went for the first time when I was 6 months old.
18:51 grant camper I see. I'm pretty naive about all this stuff. Just stumbled across this chat room thought it was pretty darn cool.
18:52 Rich From the family time line, I'd say my first time was between the ages of 1 and 4
18:52 grant camper That's pretty young.
18:53 grant camper Best time to go to the Geyser Basin is definitely in the morning and the evenning.
18:54 grant camper Of course when Grand goes off who cares.
18:54 Graham the best time is "any time", day or night
18:55 Rich I only see the static cam, on dial up. So just see the edge of Grand
18:56 grant camper I'm going to take my bike this year so I can peddle down to Fan and Mortar and Riverside.
18:56 grant camper pedal
18:57 grant camper Something is going off in the distance. What is it?
18:58 Rich Behinde the treeline?
18:58 Rich I'm not sure but that is the general area of Riverside.
18:59 Rich Would be about right for the wind drift now.
18:59 grant camper It's hard for me to tell from the prospective.
18:59 Rich hi guest921902
19:00 Rich I use the 2 tall trees for a guide to Riverside.
19:00 Rich can't really see them now.
19:00 Rich Split cone is steaming
19:00 grant camper Oh okay.
19:01 grant camper Maybe that is what I think I'm seeing.
19:01 grant camper Well, I better sign off. Tomorrow is a work day.
19:01 Graham Sawmill is the main one erupting now
19:01 Graham right of center
19:02 grant camper Okay that's what I was looking at.

07:01 Derek And to think Carolyn is down at the beach with her grandchildren
07:01 Rich What type of eruption is Giantess in?
07:01 john warnock looks like it is a steam phse eruption
07:02 john warnock I type well in the morning
07:02 Derek The water came earlier
07:02 john warnock I saw some huge spikes around 7:45
07:02 john warnock of water that is
07:03 Derek I'm looking out for Vault also
07:03 Michael Yup. that was the initial spiky water eruption.
07:03 Michael As opposed to the first 20 minutes of sloshing and thumping.
07:04 carol BIG Spikes
07:04 john warnock I wish we had sound...I bet it is sooooo loud next to the crater
07:04 carol just gave the g-kids a bag of cookies to keep em busy....gunna pay for that later
07:04 john warnock what is that in the lower left corner?
07:05 Michael Anemone
07:05 john warnock thank you
07:05 Michael Anyone care to guess how tall that was?
07:06 john warnock the spikes were well over the top of the ridge behind
07:07 Derek Is everyone happy with the cam angle?
07:07 john warnock I've only seen it once from the start and the water never reached 125 feet...those had to approach 180 today and maybe more
07:08 carol beverly Yep u doing a great job derek
07:09 Michael Seemed taller than an average Beehive for sure.
07:11 Rich Is that Fan & Mortar?
07:11 carol beverly guestion for those privilaged to have been their. Do you get to feel the thumps?
07:12 carol beverly there
07:12 Bookworm Rich--you're talking about the static cam, on the far left?
07:12 Michael I was jumping up and down too much to tell.
07:12 Derek According to Taras video, you can feel the thumps
07:12 Rich to the left of Riverside
07:13 Bookworm That's been going on too long for F&M. I was wondering if it's Grotto?

07:18 Derek :-)
07:18 Michael Good. I forgot to screen-capture any of the big water.
07:19 JanetWhite I did a bunch of screen shots
07:19 JanetWhite but figured someone would probably have the whole thing. :)
07:20 Bookworm Ahhh, I've never been so glad of having a second computer screen installed at work as I am now. *grin*
07:21 Derek I run 2 PCs here. The cam control is on the old one

09:00 Derek-cam That was meant to be a joke....

09:02 carol beverly to the height of just above the boardwalk
09:02 Derek-cam I was implying that Graham was a weird blip
09:02 carol beverly OHHH I soooo don't get jokes....LOL
09:02 Derek-cam That feature was probably Anemone

10:18 Michael Hi. Indicator is ie. 1118

10:19 Bookworm Wow--that's a *lot* of people.
10:24 CC and now Beehive
10:24 CC Derek I just sent you and e-mail and Carol too

10:30 Bookworm It's still going...but Beehive's about to erupt, so we're over there for now.
10:30 notauthorized <- Jason btw, can't get into the regular room
10:32 Bookworm *grins at the people getting soaked*
10:33 Bookworm The wind must have picked up since this morning.
10:37 Jason Firefox looks like it's still splashing
10:44 Jason Firefox such lucky visitors
10:44 Jason Firefox the day could only be capped by Giant
10:45 Jason Firefox or something unusual in the Myriad group
10:45 Bookworm *nod*
10:45 Jason Firefox did vault go yet?
10:46 Bookworm I don't know--I don't know what an eruption of it would look ilke.
10:46 Bookworm Sorry.
10:46 Jason Firefox probably a steam cloud behind giantess or slightly to the left of it's shoulder (about where those people are)
10:47 Jason Firefox if my memory is correct
10:47 Bookworm I don't recall seeing anything like that--but I haven't been here the whole time.
10:47 Bookworm How long does it last?
10:47 Jason Firefox not very long
10:48 Bookworm Ahh. I could have missed it, then. *shrug*
10:49 Jason Firefox  
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uv4B4_SzPeE
10:51 Bookworm Ooh, there was a good splash!
10:51 Bookworm *whistles*
10:55 Jason Firefox nice
10:55 Bookworm Indeed! I wonder how high that was?
10:58 Jason Firefox wonder if I can watch it from my phone
11:19 Bookworm Is that Vault?
11:21 Jason Firefox not sure
11:21 Jason Firefox wondering what that feature is
11:21 Jason Firefox it might be
11:22 Jason Firefox looks like vault on the map
11:22 Bookworm Neat!
11:23 Jason Firefox way it looks on the map I think it is
11:23 Jason Firefox  
http://www.americansouthwest.net/wyoming/yellowsto…
11:28 Bookworm There she goes again... *grin*
11:36 CC this is still Giantess
11:36 Bookworm *nod*
11:36 CC It can go off and on for 24 hours
11:36 Jason Firefox looks like vault just went off ~ 10 mins ago CC
11:44 Jason Firefox what is that steam cloud to the slight left of giantess? keeps puffing occasinally but I can't get my orentation down
11:47 Bookworm Pump, perhaps?
11:48 Jason Firefox if it's pump, the previous was definately vault
11:49 Vicky lots of people walking around...wish I was there !
11:49 Bookworm *nod*
11:50 Bookworm I wonder how many of those people know how lucky they are to see it.
11:50 Jason Firefox 1 out of 50 maybe?
11:50 Vicky probably
11:51 Vicky this is alot better than the one on YNP site
12:10 Derek-cam I'm back
12:10 Jason Firefox wb derek
12:11 Jason Firefox I think you missed vault
12:11 Derek-cam But I didn't miss the start of Giantess :-)
12:11 Jason Firefox so lucky :P
12:11 Jason Firefox did you spill your coffee?
12:11 Derek-cam Don't drink coffee
12:13 Derek-cam I had only just logged in here and it started.
12:29 Jason Firefox derek, is there a place to donate money for the operation of the cam?
12:30 Derek-cam Not that I know of. The operators are all volunteers
12:30 Jason Firefox was thinking upkeep, bandwidth etc
12:31 Derek-cam Tom Cawley and Craig Johnson in the Mamouth HQ webb office would be the ones to talk to.
12:32 Jason Firefox I wonder if this is a delayed responce to that 3.0 quake the other day
12:36 carol beverly long day for you derek.
12:38 Jason Firefox almost more people at giantess than old faithful
12:39 carol beverly Thats where i'd be!X-D
12:39 Jason Firefox yep! :D
12:40 Bookworm *nod*
12:40 Jason Firefox i've seen to many eruptions of old faithful to appease me
12:41 carol beverly I can't pull myself away from the computer today. Got the g-kids down for a nap .....finally!
12:42 Jason Firefox i cancelled my meetings at work 8)
12:43 Vicky I'm @ wk !
12:43 Jason Firefox my wife thinks i'm crazy when I texted her it was in eruption. Her response is "you really want to go there this year, don't you"
12:44 Jason Firefox like it was some hint instead of excitement
12:45 Vicky somew people just don't "Get It"
12:45 Jason Firefox shes never been there
12:45 Vicky oops some
12:45 Bookworm "We don't say, 'Who will get it?' We say, 'The right people will get it." -- Joel Hodgson
12:45 Bookworm *grin*
12:46 Vicky LOL..
12:48 carol beverly WOW!!! That cloud cover was weird!!
12:48 Vicky oh i see...i guess what i meant is that for some this is NO big dea land could take or leave it
12:49 Bookworm I know. Your comment just reminded me of that quote. *grin*
12:49 Jason Firefox unfortunately the no big deal crowd has cost us steamboat springs, beowawe and new zealand geysers
12:49 carol beverly Yep! Some folks just don't see the wonder of wonderland
12:49 Jason Firefox Maybe even El tiato soon :(
12:51 Vicky well they sayl "I wonder what happened" when all of this is gone or destroyed...very sad
12:54 Jason Firefox I only hope that China who has rumored fields that rival yellowstone has people that "get it"
12:54 Graham did I miss anything?
12:54 Jason Firefox lol
12:54 Vicky depends
12:55 Graham looks like Sawmill is doing nice big bursts!
12:55 Jason Firefox deep drain eruption
12:57 Bookworm Well, I really should log off.
12:57 Jason Firefox Graham, i think we saw vault go off at 11:19ish PST. I'm sure geyser list will give the time today sometime
12:57 Jason Firefox Have a good one book
12:57 Bookworm Enjoy!
12:57 Graham bye
12:57 Graham so who's on the cam?
12:59 Jason Firefox i think derek was earlier
13:01 Graham yeah he was on earlier, I was wondering about now
13:02 Derek-cam Hi Graham
13:03 Graham hey Derek. what did you do to the cam, its pointing in an odd direction :)
13:04 Derek-cam :P
13:04 Graham Im guessing you are having a good day
13:04 Derek-cam Best ever
13:05 Graham well I did send Lois a Giantess and Vault picture on FB for her Birthday on Saturday, looks like the real thing was a couple of days late
13:06 Derek-cam That's the first time I've seen it from the start. I had Carol for company at first. Then loads of people appeard in here
13:06 Jason Firefox Pat sent off the email at 8:33
13:06 Graham well you are one-up on me on that one Derek
13:07 Graham Pat sent me an email saying "big boil on Giantess"...then she sent the posting to the listserve
13:07 Jason Firefox ahh look at her go
13:07 Derek-cam If you check the sismo for OF area you will see the start
13:07 Graham yeah I saw it
13:08 Jason Firefox I had to post the eruption on a board I frequent befor ethey think Old Faithful is going to blow up in a caldera eruption
13:09 Derek-cam I did record the video from the start of the spikey water
13:09 Graham cool. Is it somewhere I can see it?
13:09 Derek-cam When I've transfered it to DVD I can play it over my stream
13:09 Graham ok
13:10 Jason Firefox I would like to see that too
13:10 Graham Have you seen Vault? Pat thinks she saw it earlier
13:10 Derek-cam You need broadband to view my streaming video
13:10 Jason Firefox 11:19 PST graham
13:11 Derek-cam It may have been when I was having tea
13:11 Jason Firefox Got fios at home Derek,p lenty of bandwith
13:11 Derek-cam Sorry Jason I was confusing you with Rich
13:11 Jason Firefox np :)
13:12 Graham ok, I think Pat had screen captures at 1220
13:12 Jason Firefox I had to go from Cable to dial up once 8 years ago. It felt as if i died
13:12 Derek-cam I'm converting it from asf to DVD right now
13:12 Jason Firefox Pat = bookworm?
13:12 Graham Plume 1411
13:13 Graham no. Pat = PatS
13:13 Graham Glad you had the chat room debugged over the weekend Derek?
13:13 Jason Firefox matches that time then
13:14 Derek-cam Yes it has come in handy
13:14 Graham wi***** had erupted yesterday morning :)
13:15 Derek-cam I wish Paul would re-appear so he can talk to meebo again.
13:15 Derek-cam He's not even appearing on MSN so I guess he may be away somewhere
13:20 Graham yeah summer does that to people.
13:22 Derek-cam Obiously the Giantess crater still has a lot of water in it. :-)
13:24 Graham down deep
13:24 Graham probably pretty empty based on the way it erupts now
13:31 Jason Firefox vault initial 12:12 according to lynn
13:35 Graham yep, thought you would want to know that
13:37 Graham just sent you photo links from this weekend Derek
13:38 Derek-cam ok
13:51 carol beverly a late day for you derek
13:52 Derek-cam Not really
13:53 Derek-cam I usually stop about 5 minutes from now
13:53 Derek-cam Except Saturday
13:53 Derek-cam aurum
13:53 Graham yeah I disrupt your schedule then Derek
13:53 Derek-cam 14:53
13:54 Derek-cam Graham, can you confirm Aurum
13:54 Derek-cam That's the second today
13:55 Graham oh yeah that was Aurum
13:55 Graham when was the earlier one?
13:55 Graham 4 hours?
13:55 Derek-cam I'll check
13:57 Derek-cam 08:43
13:58 Derek-cam Graham, you can takeover when you're ready
13:59 Graham now you tell me..after all the big stough is over :(
13:59 Graham Jason - I tried to send you an email with Faceboon Abyss pictures but I am not sure it will work
13:59 Derek-cam Now did I moan when you got the Bear?
13:59 Derek-cam :-)
14:00 Graham no, haha because you saw it first!
14:00 Derek-cam I meant the one that run into the parking lot
14:01 Graham yeah you missed all of 10 seconds of bear-time on that one :)
14:01 Jason Firefox Wow, thank you Graham. you are the man
14:01 Graham did you get it?
14:01 Derek-cam But it was the most spectacular
14:02 Graham Iwilltake the first few HOURS of Giantess over 10s of bear time
14:02 Jason Firefox Yes, thank you very much
14:02 Graham k I tried sending the message from FB to me but it never came
14:02 Jason Firefox You certainly have the hookups for photos
14:02 Graham Plume 1502
14:02 Derek-cam The video wont be ready today, the conversion is a bit slow.
14:03 Graham Giantess 1502ie :)
14:03 Jason Firefox lol
14:03 Graham have to watch for Giantess effects now Derek
14:03 Jason Firefox I guess I need a facebook to post my own photos from 1996/2001
14:04 Graham yep or web page somewhere
14:05 Graham FB is pretty easy for photos
14:06 Jason Firefox It's hard to find rare stuff online for geyser photos.. I can at least scratch abyss pool off my list now :D
14:06 Jason Firefox do you think this eruption is a delayed response from the 3.3 quake?
14:07 Graham i doubt it. I think Plate started erupting before then and I am wondering if its related
14:08 Graham long ago Plate would only erupt following Giantess
14:08 Graham in the 80's I think
14:08 Jason Firefox in the 50's didn't it erupt only before?
14:08 Jason Firefox i'd have to check my book to make sure on that
14:09 Graham before my time :)
14:10 Derek-cam Graham, in your opinion, are there any sleeping geysers that could be awaken by the Giantess erruption?
14:10 Graham um, other then Vault, probably nothing big
14:11 Graham Borah Peak up the slope from Beehive is probably active now 1-2'
14:11 Graham Beehive could change intervals
14:11 Derek-cam I was thinking and hoping maybe Big Cub or Lioness :-)
14:11 Graham Plume usually shortens and then lengthens its intervals I think
14:12 Graham not a chance
14:12 Jason Firefox hehehe
14:12 Derek-cam :'(
14:12 Jason Firefox wow, you're wishing derek :P
14:12 Jason Firefox if either of them erupted today i'd eat my hat
14:12 Jason Firefox without salt 8)
14:13 Graham I did send pics of Giantess and Vault to Lois on Saturday for her Birthday
14:13 Graham now they are erupting
14:13 Jason Firefox and Graham just sent me photos of abyss pool
14:13 Jason Firefox hmmmmm
14:13 Jason Firefox and giant last week
14:14 Graham yep, road trip to West Thumb on Wed
14:14 Jason Firefox quick graham, send me link, splendid, twin geysers, abyss pool and steamboat
14:14 Graham ah, but it was on Facebook, so the links dont count Jason
14:14 Jason Firefox drat :(
14:15 Jason Firefox Well if it is, then my request: Steamboat, Giant, Splendid, Myriad Group Geysers, Twin Geyers, Abyss Pool, Big Cub/Little Cub, Monarch, Excelsior and um.. Sapphire pool
14:15 Jason Firefox 8)
14:15 Jason Firefox i figure that's a good start
14:16 Graham I can do Little Cub haha
14:16 Jason Firefox er, Lioness/Big
14:16 Graham what about Morning and Union?
14:16 Jason Firefox Oh yeah, Morning, Union, um, and heck, why not Waimangu too
14:17 Derek Goodnight all
14:17 Jason Firefox Good night Derk :)
14:17 Jason Firefox /Derek
14:18 Jason Firefox I guess Union is still dormant eh? :(
14:18 Graham more dormant every year I gather
14:26 Jason Firefox giantess 15:26ie? 8)
14:28 Jason Firefox I've never been to Shoshone
14:34 CC Hi Grahm
14:35 CC This has been quite a day
14:36 Graham hello
14:37 Graham yeah nice to have Giantess erupt in daylight
14:37 Graham Giantess loves Derek :)
14:37 CC there is no question about that
14:37 CC Craig called and they are going to clean the lens tomorrow
14:39 Graham ok, thats good
14:39 Graham at least we have not needed to zoom out much this afternoon though but Derek probably wanted it clean for the big stuff earlier
14:40 Graham how was the beach?
14:41 CC it is sunny today..finally
14:42 CC tomorrow they are saying rain
14:42 Graham ok, so whats the plan for tomorrow?
14:45 CC play it by ear..the kids have camp whether or not it rains
14:46 Graham so you get some rest time too
14:47 CC yes
14:47 CC I now have to make supper
14:47 CC bye
14:50 Graham nice bursts now
14:50 Jason Firefox wonder what the water level is
14:54 Graham go and peer in
14:55 Jason Firefox Sure... let me get right over there and do that 8)
14:56 Graham I guess down 20'
15:04 Jason Firefox I always wondered if there's undiscovered geyser basins there that would rival the size of the most popular today
15:05 Graham i doubt it by now the news would have gotten out
16:40 Graham Plume 1739
17:11 Graham hello guest
17:30 Graham Plume 1829
17:30 carol beverly hi all
17:31 carol beverly Is there a doubler on the camara now? Giantess seems alot closer
17:32 Graham hello
17:32 Graham just zoomed in about as far as it can go without blurring
17:32 Graham theres suposed to be a new cam coming somday.....
17:33 Graham I am watching Daves video from this morning
17:33 carol beverly looks great....what a day!!!! Great armchair gazing....I just watched it. He recorded the best of the day (I think)
17:34 carol beverly hoping someone captured Vault.
17:35 Graham hard to see Vault from here though with wind in this direction
17:36 Graham Vbault now
17:59 Jason Firefox is derek Dave m?
18:00 Graham nope. Derek is Derek
18:00 Graham Dave M is Dave Monteith I think
18:00 Jason Firefox i hadnt seen him this morning so the geyser list confused me
18:01 Jason Firefox as derek said he was making a dvd of it
18:01 Graham Dave records the streaming cam at home. He probably got home and viewed it before he uploaded the video
18:01 Graham I don't think Dave has to do that conversion
18:04 Graham toime for something different :)
18:05 Jason Firefox yay for grand
18:05 Graham Grand 1903
18:05 Jason Firefox enough of that sawmill bursting :P
18:06 Jason Firefox you were saying plate went earlier , but i didn't see anything on the geyser list?
18:07 Graham its been erupting for a week now I think
18:07 Jason Firefox maybe gmail is labling it as spam again
18:07 Graham I think its been reported but its generally an un-remarkable geyser
18:08 Graham at least compared to other geysers....otherwise its a remarkable feature :)
18:09 Graham but we know from the past it has a connection to Giantess....
18:09 Jason Firefox exactly
18:13 Graham its been seen a lot more the last week and occasionally thru may/June
18:14 Jason Firefox just looked at my 4th edition, lists it as associated with giantess after the 59 eq
18:18 Graham uhuh
18:21 Graham Plume 1920
18:33 Jason Firefox vault?
18:33 Jason Firefox looks like it's puffing/splashing
18:33 Graham dont think so
18:33 Jason Firefox or is that just the edge of the crater?
18:33 Graham i think its from Giatess
18:48 Graham Lion 1947
19:02 Jason Firefox maybe one of these days i'll make a sound file of the eruption speed up so it's audible
19:02 Jason Firefox from the seismo
19:05 Graham haha...good luck with that
19:06 Jason Firefox its pretty easy. hearing redoubt sped up was amazing
19:07 Graham ok
19:07 Graham I just want the IRL audio of Giantess as it goes into steam
19:09 Jason Firefox to bad the radios arent transmitted with the video
19:09 Graham Plume 2009
19:10 Graham yeah, would think someone would have tried to stream onto the internet. Not as part of the video stream tho
19:14 Graham Here are some firework pics if you are interested http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=2011520&id=1470722670&l=c211f2914e
19:15 Graham they get better toward the end
19:19 Jason Firefox nice photos
19:19 Jason Firefox we didn't go out for fireworks, daughter is too young
19:20 Graham thanks. i had never shot fireworks before.
19:20 Graham big crowd in DC is tough with babies
19:20 Jason Firefox serena is only 3 months old :)
19:20 Jason Firefox we still havn't taken her out to public places
19:21 Graham just noticed Little Squirt going
19:21 Graham well time to take her out, its nice out there :)
19:21 Jason Firefox it must be the camera.. but vault looks like it's sputtering up water still
19:24 Graham it could be. I have not been able to keep up with the wind in this direction
19:25 Graham still nice bursts
19:25 Jason Firefox little squirt the one behind those 2 trees?
19:25 Jason Firefox good series
19:29 Graham yep, its basically hidden behind the trees and in front of the boardwalk
19:38 guest981552 Which Gyeser Just went off
19:39 Graham on the top of the hill there - that's Giantess
19:39 guest981552 Oh
19:39 Graham been erupting since this morning. stops and starts every few minutes
19:40 Graham this is the first eruption since February
19:50 Jason Firefox should be some nice backlight photos of the steam cloud with flashes tonigh
19:51 Graham maybe but I am just about ready to quit
20:00 Jason Firefox it's bursting nice just for you graham
20:00 Graham yeah its doing good
20:00 Graham need to quit soon tho, I will let this burst finish then go to bed
20:01 Graham Plume 2100
20:01 Graham intervals down to 50min roughly
20:01 Jason Firefox we'll see what beehive does tomorrow
20:03 Graham yeah this might break its regular streak
20:03 Graham want to see Vault while the wind is in this direction too
20:04 Graham lloks like that burst finished
20:09 Graham ok, I am done for the night
20:09 Graham see you tomorrow
20:09 Graham bye

04:46 PatS Hi Derek
04:47 Derek Hi
04:47 PatS Did you move the cam over to Giantess this morning? If so, THANKYOU
04:47 PatS Beautiful in the dawn light
04:48 Derek Yes
04:48 PatS :)
04:48 PatS I snapped a couple big spikes
04:48 Derek I just received the Gosa YNP map CD in the post this mornig
04:48 PatS Oh cool
04:48 PatS I don't have that
04:49 Derek Only problem is, it wont read on either of my PCs
04:49 Derek So I have emailed UDO
04:49 PatS Oh dear
04:50 PatS Not sure why it wouldn't read!
04:50 PatS I love how Giantess gets quiet then builds and then more spikes!
04:50 PatS I have seen it twice in person:)
04:50 Derek Obviously faulty because all my other CDs and DVDs read OK
04:50 PatS Yeah
04:51 PatS Udo will send another, you should ask him to test it first
04:51 PatS Before posting all the way to you
04:52 Derek I would have thought testing would be standard practice
04:52 PatS Well, no, GOSA is pretty low key about that stuff
04:52 Derek I make CDs for my friend who owns a travelling street organ.
04:52 PatS He probably has a pile that were duplicated
04:53 Derek She has 12 volumes of the organs music
04:53 PatS And they are probably not tested. In fact, I have to admit, I don't test the photo CDs I make for friends
04:53 PatS Oh that's cool
04:53 PatS I like organ music
04:54 Derek I could send you a sample
04:54 PatS As an electronic file? Sure
04:54 PatS I have iTunes
04:54 Derek MP3
04:55 PatS Perfect
04:55 PatS Do you have my email addy?
04:55 Derek Just found it
04:55 PatS You can get it from the geyser list, that gmail one is fine
04:55 PatS Cool
04:57 PatS Well time for me to head to work
04:57 PatS Thanks for moving the cam over the Giantess
04:57 Derek OK, check your emails later
04:58 PatS I will!!! Thanks!
04:58 PatS Have a good day!
04:58 PatS Bye!

06:06 Derek CC said they will be cleaning the camera later today
06:06 Derek It'll probably be Craig and Daryl
06:07 carol beverly I didn't know which chat room to go into this am! have em both up! Great, the lens needs some automatic wipers installed
06:07 Derek But it could even be Tom or even George :-)
06:08 Derek It does have a windshield type of wiper but it can't remove the dried silica
06:09 carol beverly (raising my hand) I'll do it!!! any excuse to go
06:10 Derek Last time it was Daryl Jennings and George Heinz who went down to do it. Daryl climbed the ladder.
06:12 Derek Pat S was on earlier

07:34 Derek Hi Guests.
07:34 Derek-cam Anyone got time to chat?
08:26 Jason Firefox Good morning folks
08:26 Derek-cam Hi
08:27 Jason Firefox Good morning Derek
08:28 sparekitty hi derek, jason.
08:34 Jason Firefox hi kitty
08:41 Derek-cam wow
08:41 Derek-cam Here it goes again
08:42 sparekitty is that giantess again?
08:43 Derek-cam Yes
08:43 Jason Firefox to bad the people at work are taking all the bandwidth for the jackson coverage
08:43 Jason Firefox so the video stops and pauses :(
08:44 sparekitty before yesterday, i'd never seen giantess before. it really sucked that the chat room was down...i thought it was giantess but until i checked rich's facebook,i could not be certain.
08:46 Jason Firefox You can always use meebo to get in for chat kitty
08:46 Jason Firefox thats how I got in yesterday
08:46 Jason Firefox and neither had I. I never saw it in eruption 'live' only photos
08:46 Derek-cam Kitty
08:47 Derek-cam There is a standby room that I set up
08:47 Derek-cam http://www.tgoeuk.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/camchat.html
08:48 Derek-cam When this one goes down we use the alternative
08:49 sparekitty good to know.
08:50 Derek-cam I am amazed. I heard the Giantess is spectacular, but I never realised it could be so big so long after it started
08:51 Derek-cam The guy who started this room is away so he isn't monitoring it.
08:51 sparekitty i wonder if the visitors realize what a treat they are getting!
08:51 Derek-cam I contacted Meebo for him but they can't find any problem at their end.
08:54 Jason Firefox probably not kitty, yesterday a ton left to go see beehive
08:55 sparekitty beehive is cool, but not THAT cool!
09:00 Derek-cam You're lucky CC isn't here :-)
09:01 Derek-cam Beehive's her favorite
09:17 Derek-cam 10:17 Lion IE
09:42 Derek-cam 10:41 Old Faithful
10:07 Jason Firefox lense cleaning ie 11:07
10:08 Jason Firefox <3 windex :D
10:10 Derek-cam There goes the sponge on the telescopic pole
10:11 Derek-cam That silica wont come off easily
10:12 Jason Firefox Old Faithful hit it?
10:12 Derek-cam Looks better though
10:12 Jason Firefox just replace the glass heh
10:12 Derek-cam Yeah
10:13 Derek-cam Silica from geysers eats into glass
10:13 Derek-cam There's a new cam coming soon
10:16 Jason Firefox wonder how good it will be
10:17 sparekitty thjis cam is great
10:18 Jason Firefox I guess giantess didn't effect beehive
10:18 sparekitty does it usually?
10:19 Derek-cam It has been known
10:20 Derek-cam I just phoned Daryl Jenning, but he said it wasn't him cleaning the cam
10:20 Derek-cam So it must have been Craig Johnson
10:20 Derek-cam He did say that he will be down at O.F. next week.
10:21 Derek-cam Daryl that is
10:23 Carol (away) Wow! that was the most crowded beehive viewing Ive ever seen
10:25 Carol (away) looks like the lens is still eitvhed from silica
10:28 Derek-cam It's a lot better though
10:32 Derek-cam Carol
10:33 Derek-cam I'm going to tea shortly and CC wont be taking over so the cam will be stationary.
11:54 Carol (away) I back for a bit
12:57 Jason Firefox wow, go giantess
13:06 Jason Firefox Did anyone get any geyser list emails last night? I usually get a bunch at 6 but none yesterday
13:27 Derek-cam Grand
13:27 Derek-cam 14:27 IE

14:02 Derek-cam wow
14:03 Jason Firefox yeah it went like this earlier too
14:03 Jason Firefox she's not giving up
14:04 Derek-cam Yep
14:05 sparekitty i'm trying hard not to wish i was there but to appreciate that i can spend a great deal of the day watching from a cool, airconditioned office (with close-by bathroom)
14:13 Derek-cam Well I'm usually gone by now
14:15 Derek-cam Carol
14:17 Derek-cam Kitty
14:18 Derek-cam Is anyone still watching?
14:20 Derek-cam I'm gonna have to go to bed shortly, and I don't think anyone will be taking over from me. So I'll leave this PC logged on so the cam will stay in this position.
14:21 sparekitty thanks, derek. i apprciate all your work! have a nice evening.
14:21 Jason Firefox i am between work
14:21 Derek Goodnight
14:21 Derek It's 22:21 here
14:22 Jason Firefox good night derek
15:08 Graham hello
15:09 Graham looks like Vault?
15:11 Jason Firefox hi Graham
15:11 Jason Firefox I agree, it does
15:28 Graham I see shes still erupting
15:28 Jason Firefox Yes Sir =)
15:29 Jason Firefox still some good bursting going on
15:29 Graham i guess its taking longer naps now
15:30 Graham still nicely above the trees
15:32 Jason Firefox that was a nice high burst
15:33 Graham yes, thai is stronger than the eruptions I have seen before
15:33 Graham have seen two but they dies out at about 24 hours
15:34 Jason Firefox maybe it's a good sign for september =)
15:43 Graham im sure it is :) haha
15:52 Jason Firefox teapot?
15:56 Graham i will look there later
15:58 Jason Firefox Oh no.. I was just seeing if thats what you were pointed at a few minutes ago
16:00 Graham k...just figures I would look for other geysers as Giantess is napping
16:03 carol hi all
16:29 Graham hello
16:29 Graham nice bursts again
16:31 carol incrediable!!!!
16:33 carol I saw a bubble outta that series
16:35 carol how many days graham?
16:35 carol weeks?
16:36 Graham 7 weeks and 4 days
16:37 Graham next Giantess is in 8 weeks :)
16:38 Graham 11am, vault before sunset
16:38 Graham sunny day
16:41 carol All rightly then. sound good to me! I hope it works out just that way
16:58 Graham what are the odds of that :)
17:00 carol slim to none
17:01 carol was reading about all em geysers on the hill....again!
17:02 carol trying to determine if these are seperate eruptions or pauses in one eruption.
17:03 carol they are seperate eruptions classified into 4 different types
17:04 carol i think
17:04 carol top of page 52
17:05 carol me thinks I'm talking to myself again;P
17:08 Graham haha
17:09 Graham we are definately in late water
17:09 Graham I think its a Mixed Phase eruption
17:09 Graham it went into steam after 37min yesterday
17:13 Graham theres Vault again 1812ie
17:14 carol seems like thats what I saw also. would you call the time inbetween eruptions pauses or seperate eruptions.....my question. When vault goes it looks like the 3 amigos.
17:15 carol not trying to name anything just my observation. (a disclaimer)
17:15 Graham haha
17:15 Graham I guess the Giantess bursts are considered as bursts but Vault is counted as seperate eruptions
17:16 Graham looks like Giantess has died down a lot tho
17:17 carol yep. that last series was pretty good for as long into the eruption as we are
17:19 Graham theres water again though 1818
17:24 Graham started big again at 1822
17:29 Graham Plume 1828
17:56 Graham small stuff again starting at 1853
18:11 Graham Big stuff at 1909, Interval 47m
18:11 Graham thats cool that it can keep going strong over a day
18:15 Graham Plume 1914
18:20 Graham duration about 7min on Giantess. Plume interval was only 46min
18:31 Rich Good Evening Everyhon
18:31 Rich one
18:32 Rich Hi carol
18:32 Graham hey Rich, where have you been?
18:32 Rich Hi guest730315
18:32 Rich hi guest9210902
18:32 Rich I've had company from out of town.
18:32 Rich Tour guiding
18:33 Graham did I inherit Dereks invisibility cloak?
18:33 Rich My best friend from Houston is off on an Alaskan cruise.
18:33 Rich Had a couple of days here in Seattle before leaving.
18:33 Graham well you didn't miss anything :)
18:33 Rich Of course you did.
18:33 Rich lol
18:33 Graham ok, I had a good cruise last year there
18:34 Graham from Whittier to Vancouver
18:34 Rich I know that my capture stopped about 10:35 this morning.
18:34 Graham well you missed Beehive and Grand today. nothing much else
18:34 Rich yes
18:34 Rich same one then.
18:34 Rich Denali for 3 days
18:35 Rich Giantess shutting down?
18:35 Graham theres something steaming on the right of OF
18:35 Rich Hi Derek-bed
18:35 Graham we did the self drive tour and had 3 nights in Denali
18:35 Graham its still having good bursts but about 45min apart
18:36 Rich ah
18:36 Graham next ~1955
18:37 Graham derek left the cam running when he went to bed, pointed at Giantess
18:37 Rich cool
18:37 Rich We did get some early ones yesterday morning.
18:38 Rich k
18:38 Graham ok, good
18:38 Rich I think Loisb got the first capture at 07:15 yesterday morning
18:38 Graham was pretty big early yesterday
18:39 Rich Very impressive, I'd say
18:39 Graham hope Lois appreciated it for her B-day
18:39 Rich I did get a static cam capture all day yesterday.
18:40 Rich Yes she did
18:41 Rich So where is a picture of Vault?
18:41 Graham ok good
18:41 Graham did you see the boil and flood?
18:41 Graham you should have got it in a message on FB
18:42 Graham I also put more fireworks pics there too
18:42 Rich I'm just loading it now.
18:43 Rich I have a vid of your fireworks, have to get it uploaded overnight.
18:44 Rich The first 70 images
18:44 Graham yeah a lot of them
18:45 Graham but they should be small as most of it is black :)
18:46 Rich I'm trying to find the vid now.
18:47 Rich http://www.stateparks.com/flaming_geyser.html
18:47 Rich That is where we went today.
18:48 Rich I was duly unimpressed.
18:49 Graham not much on that page
18:50 Graham we have some small splashes again, like before the other big bursts
18:50 Graham it must be preplay
18:51 Rich Not much at the park either.
18:53 Rich Hi guest577961
18:54 Rich Graham - somewhere along the line they capped and put a concrete vent in Flaming Geyser, I guess so the gas flame would show better.
18:54 Rich Loisb remember a time before the concrete.
18:56 Graham oh wow
18:56 Graham different fireworks
19:00 Graham Vault 1959
19:02 Rich Am I able to see Vault on the static cam?
19:03 Graham yeah iots the heavy steam on the right of Giantess crater
19:03 Rich The vid I made using the fireworks is 17.9 mgs
19:03 Graham Plume 2002
19:03 Rich So will take about 3 hours to upload.
19:03 Graham wow thats big!
19:04 Rich Plume
19:05 Rich ~20:03
19:05 Graham what did you do with the pics?
19:05 Rich OF ie 10:04:07 wc
19:05 Rich 20:04:07 wc
19:05 Rich I made a slideshow vid
19:05 Rich with music
19:07 Graham ok. hope I can upload it tomorrow
19:12 carol Hi all again
19:12 carol missed you lately rich
19:12 Graham wb
19:12 Rich hi carol
19:12 Rich Company
19:12 Rich Best childhood friend.
19:13 Rich He and his wife are off on a cruise to Alaska
19:13 Graham have not seen a decent burst from Giantess in juts over an hour now. just small splashes
19:13 Rich As the cybergods would have it. I got to miss Giantess, but I got yesterday captured.
19:14 Rich Hi Jason
19:14 Graham it heard me, another burst 2012
19:14 Rich thanks for the ugb map link.
19:15 Rich Keep talking Graham.
19:16 carol nice close-up
19:16 Rich g
19:17 Graham yeah, steam isn't cooperating tho
19:18 Rich When did Giantess actually start yesterday?
19:18 Rich Loisb just found a capture 06:46:46 wc static with a column of steam at Giantess.
19:20 Graham ok, thats interesting
19:20 Graham Scott called it at 0713
19:21 Rich Would you like her to FB it?
19:23 Graham that duration was about 8min
19:23 Graham sure
19:23 Rich I believe that Grand was going off at the same time.
19:23 Rich She is loading FB now.
19:26 Graham ok. I am guessing it was Oblong, Grand yesterday was 0036
19:27 Rich It was at the very left of the static cam frame
19:29 Graham that could just be an early morning boil, Giantess can steam a lot. but given it erupted later maybe it was a big boil spilling water out
19:30 Graham well I have had enough, see you. will it still be going in the morning?
19:30 Rich capture is up
19:31 Rich and published
19:31 Rich Have a good evening
19:32 Rich hi guest647050
19:34 Graham I saw Lois capture, looks like a boil but any other morning you probably wouldn.t have thought anything of it
19:34 Graham goodnight
19:40 Rich I'm sunburned, windburned and eye strained. All in all a good day. lol
19:40 Rich so I'm going to go to bed early tonight.
19:40 Rich Everyone have a good evening.
19:40 Rich See you a demain.
19:40 Rich nite

05:54 Derek No static cam
05:57 Victoria Good morning Derek. I'm away for a few days and missed a spectacular show. Hope you were able to watch Giantess a bunch?
05:58 Derek I was on the cam when it started
05:59 Victoria Must have been amazing. Best static capture I have seen was at 0757. No wind. Straight stream. It looked beautiful.
05:59 Victoria Made me wish the stream also caught sound.

09:26 Jason Firefox Good morning Rich
09:31 Rich Thanks again for the UGB map

09:36 Jason Firefox Sadly you missed giantess :(
09:46 Kent Report of Indicator from the UGB

09:57 Kent Got a text from the UGB. BH 10:55 wc
09:57 Rich Some of us are slow to wake up.
09:58 Rich Beehive ie 10:56:55 wc

10:01 sparekitty so i'm sitting right here and MISSED beehive??
10:02 Rich sorry, sparekitty
10:02 Rich Mesmerized by ???
10:02 Michael Christmas only comes once a year. On average Giantess does a bit better than that.
10:03 sparekitty homework actually! and i'm glad to have seen giantess yesterday. i guess that will have to do.
10:03 Jason Firefox Lots of Luck rich.. I got the message it was ie right as I got to work

10:05 Rich We got a capture of Giantess from the static cam at 7:15
10:05 sparekitty thanks! i was sure i had failed that class. dang hard!

» July 8th, 2009

10:05 Jason Firefox I have that 'earthquake soon' feeling for southern cali :(
10:06 Rich When you feel you've failed is usually when you have done your best.
10:06 sparekitty me too, actually. strange weather. but check your pet snakes--they are the best predictors of earthquakes
10:06 Rich Would this be the BIG ONE feeling?
10:07 Rich I'll move fuirther inland.
10:07 Jason Firefox mines from the eq map.. 4 micros on the SAF up through big bend. Always ominous
10:07 Rich And just how many pet snakes do you have? lol
10:08 Jason Firefox I was just commenting to my wife the amount of dead birds on the road a co uple of days ago
10:08 sparekitty i used to have a couple--one big (6+ foot) and a smaller king snake. my then-boyfriend (now husband) didn't like them though...
10:09 Rich Some how I think I lilke your husband. g
10:10 Jason Firefox Snakes scare me, always have... especially after I almost steped straight down on a rattler at San Onofre
10:10 Rich THE BIRDS, wasn't that a movie?
10:10 Michael I should duck out now, before the crowd lures me into waiting for OF. Bye.
10:10 Rich You didn't walk heavy enough, stomp those boots.
10:10 Rich g
10:11 Jason Firefox Yes, a Hitchcock movie
10:11 Jason Firefox Bye Michael
10:11 Rich bye Michael
10:11 Rich Come back soon
10:11 Jason Firefox I was wearing sandals(skull)
10:11 sparekitty from my perspective (kinda lazy) snakes are the perfect pets--they don't make any noise, they only poop when you feed them (like every other week) and don't need to be taken out for walks or anything.
10:12 Rich yikes
10:12 Rich And do you now own a pair of hiking boots?
10:12 Jason Firefox lol
10:13 Rich You just have to watch out for them curling around your neck while you are asleep.
10:13 Jason Firefox No. It was at the beach. there's a large bluff going down to the water and the snake was on the trail, head out in the sun -- the rest of him was under a bush. I stoped midstep about 3 inches above his head before I jumped backwards about 4 feet
10:13 sparekitty jut keep the cage locked!
10:14 Jason Firefox but what happens if you forget to lock it? :O
10:15 sparekitty with large snakes, you simply do NOT forget. successful snake owners are very responsible!
10:16 Jason Firefox I just perfer a hamster.. or gerbil heh
10:19 Rich And the snake owners who aren't are Darwined.
10:44 Rich bb later, time to weedwack.
12:22 Rich away b
12:22 Rich away Lunch menu today is Egg Salad on whole wheat.

19:37 Rich Ask for a recess to view the webcam in chambers. g
19:37 Victoria Last activity from BH today?
19:37 Graham should have asked for a dealay so you couldwatch the cam
19:38 Victoria haaahaaa!
19:38 Graham splashing
19:38 Victoria actually could have had my laptop streaming in the courtroom! wudda been hard to cross when my mind was on the show though!
19:38 Graham erupted 1055
19:38 Rich You don't think the judge would agree?
19:39 Victoria not sure my clients would have appreciated it.
19:39 Rich Remind me to always check what is on my cousel's computer screen.
19:40 Graham cam doesn't like bright liight

06:46 carol b morning derek
06:47 Derek How are you today?
06:49 carol b I'm ok, just trying to get the sleep outta my eyes.... How you
06:49 carol b ?
06:51 Derek Hehe, as it's 14:50 here, I'm well awake :-)
06:53 Derek I am fairly sure I have located Teapot on the cam
06:54 Derek I located it using the gosa topo map of the UGB
06:55 Derek Scott said in his book that Teapot was about 150 feet northwest of Old Faithful. This feature is about 125 feet and is the only feature in that area on the topo map.
06:57 carol b Its 06:53 here! cool:)
06:58 carol b i was just looking it up
06:59 Derek That was the feature discussed in the listserve that we saw spouting water a couple of weeks ago.
07:00 Derek It's on the O.F. side of the river and almost directly in line with Beehive from the cams viewpoint.
07:01 carol b got a call brb
07:02 Derek Going to help wash the dishes, back in 10
07:11 Derek back
07:15 carol b me to. It looks cold in athe basin today

09:36 sparekitty you must have a lot of weeds. or do you NOT have a mower?
09:38 Derek-cam I hope he don't mean the other kind of weed.
09:40 sparekitty well he does live in a perfect area for growing it...
09:41 Derek-cam :D
09:43 Rich no, The front sidewalks needed edging
09:43 Rich about 30 years worth. g
09:44 Rich Moved a wheelbarrow of dirt already this morning.
09:44 Rich I've found another 12 inches of sidewalk.
09:44 Derek-cam My wife's the gardener in this household
09:45 sparekitty i guess all i can claim this morning is an hour workout with my trainer...she is mean and love to see me hurt. but i'm in great shape!
09:45 Derek-cam I just move the heavy things for her
09:46 Rich Next project is to cut a tree down that is growng in the middle of one of the front rhodedendrons.
09:46 Derek-cam Hey Kitty, any chance of a picture. I have pictures of most of my yellowstone friends.

10:06 Derek-cam Fine thanks Jason
10:10 Jason Firefox Wonderful. :) Saw F&M went off last night.. got a late night geyser list email on my phone
10:18 Derek-cam Castle IE
10:19 Derek-cam 11:18
10:23 Jason Firefox Castle is one of my faves.. especially when it erupts near sunset
10:24 Jason Firefox When I left the UGB last time, it was in eruption then. Was a nice end to my trip
10:26 Derek-cam 11:25 Plume
10:26 Derek-cam On static cam
10:30 Derek-cam 11:29 Lion IE
10:46 Derek-cam Going to tea now.

10:55 Jason Firefox enjoy your tea, and good morning kitty
12:06 Jason Firefox I have a feeling Splendid Geyser wants to erupt this year 8)
12:07 CC are you dreaming
12:07 CC Graham has some beautiful pictures of Splendid
12:09 Jason Firefox One can always dream CC =)
12:09 Jason Firefox Positive waves
12:13 CC Plume

12:17 CC okay
12:32 Derek-cam 13:31 Grand IE
14:02 Derek-cam Goodnight Jason
14:03 Derek-cam My bedtime now
14:04 Derek-cam 15:03 Plume
14:04 Derek-cam Now I'm going
14:17 Jason Firefox Oops, good night Derek. Sorry I had to work 8)
14:19 Jason Firefox Hi kitty
14:20 sparekitty hey jason; what's up?
14:21 Jason Firefox Just trying to keep myself busy for the next couple of hours :)
14:21 sparekitty me too. work until 4-ish then home to make jam.
14:22 Jason Firefox Home at 4:30 for me. Luckly my wife is picking up our daughter tonight, so I get home at a normal time today =)
15:35 Graham hello
15:36 Jason Firefox Good evening Graham
15:37 Graham hello, long time no see
15:39 Jason Firefox It has been a very busy week
15:39 Jason Firefox can't believe it is thursday already
15:39 Graham yeah what with Giantess and all
15:39 Graham then F&M last night. Saw the steam but it was blowing so hard it wasn't easy to identify
15:40 Jason Firefox I miss it already
15:40 Jason Firefox So is the new cam HD?
15:41 Jason Firefox I guess it was a wierd F&M eruption by the accounts
15:43 Graham there have not been any Upper Mortar starts recently, so we forget what they are like. Fun to watch the surging and not be sure its going to erupt
15:50 Graham Plume 1648
15:53 Graham I am not sure we have a new cam, seems pretty much the same, still can't zoom in very far
15:55 Jason Firefox I don't think it's installed yet.. when you scroll though I notice it's interlaced.. so i'm guessing the current is 480i
15:55 Jason Firefox It would be fantastic to have a 720p cam
15:55 Graham It doesn't usually go into a lock when its a UM start I think
15:58 Jason Firefox -nod-. Looks like UM kept it going
16:00 Graham of course Labor day 2007 the vents were off when East Vent started the eruption, they kept going from strong to stopped several times
16:03 Jason Firefox Sawmil is so fun
16:03 Jason Firefox Unfortunately with F&M I can't speak with experience
16:04 Graham they are fun :)
16:04 Graham I was lucky and saw one of the LM starts too, I think there were only 2 of them though?
16:05 Jason Firefox i'd have to check T Scotts book
16:18 Graham Daisy 1717
16:20 Jason Firefox time for me to head home though
16:20 Jason Firefox have a good night Graham, take care.
16:21 Graham see you
16:42 Graham Plume 1741
17:11 Graham I see Lynn/Kitt reported a mid-cycle indicator eruption......thats going to be fun if it keeps doing it!
17:23 Graham Indicator
17:24 Graham OF 1822
17:42 Graham Plume 1841
17:50 Graham hum, long indicator
17:51 Graham Beehive was 0856 this morning, so its a short interval so far
17:52 Graham but not the shortest of the year tho
17:53 Graham 30 min now
17:53 Graham longest I have seen was about this long and around Giantess too
17:54 Graham big splash
17:54 Graham Beehive 1853
18:00 Graham so all the Beehive lovers can relax again, not a false Indicator
18:21 Graham Daisy 1920 - 2h3m interval
18:25 Graham OF 1823
18:38 Graham Plume 1937
19:05 Graham I am heading out, see you
19:44 guest533851 Does anyone have a time for the late night eruption of Beehive on the 8th? I assume it was around midnight.

08:52 Jason Firefox Good morning Rich
08:52 Victoria prefer this veiw to the one overlooking my desk.
08:55 Rich Supervising OF is a life time occupation.
08:55 Rich g
08:59 Jason Firefox Pretending to work is so much fun . :)
09:00 Rich OF just went thru a short interval, short duration, short interval cycle.
09:01 Victoria remember that attorney's 'practice' law, vs actually perform law!
09:02 Jason Firefox I'm just monitoring the Bandwidth for our network, as I'm the IT manager ;) Interruptions = network issues!
09:09 Rich I'm just staring at the monitor.
09:10 Rich White out conditions prevail.
09:16 Jason Firefox Oh yeah today is friday 8)

10:31 Derek Beehive
11:09 Rich hi CC
11:18 Rich OF ie 12:16:30 wc
11:29 Victoria gotta go. Thanks all.
12:25 Derek 13:24 Daisy
13:00 Derek 14:00 OF
13:10 Derek Rich
13:15 Rich yes
13:16 Rich Hi guest997401
13:16 Derek Have you lost the static?
13:17 Derek I'm still showing 1:57 on it
13:17 Rich hmm
13:17 Rich same here
13:17 Rich I've been working on photos.
13:18 grant camper Hello
13:18 grant camper How are you all
13:18 Rich Yep, just tried to reload
13:18 Derek Streaming cam is still working
13:18 Derek Hi
13:18 Rich hi grant camper
13:19 Derek Fine thanks Grant
13:19 Rich Probably lost it when the VC did a OF prediction change.
13:19 Rich We "sometimes" loose it then.
13:19 grant camper Hi Rich
13:19 Rich Doing good grant, welcome back.
13:20 grant camper I heard Giantess went off. Very cool
13:20 grant camper Yeah, done with my work week.
13:20 Derek Hey Rich, do you think BH will go again before dark?
13:21 Rich yes
13:21 Derek Lion starting
13:21 Rich Last interval was ~11 h 30 min
13:21 Derek 14:21
13:22 grant camper Has Giantess had any effect on BH?
13:22 Derek Stoped again
13:22 Derek Very short Lion
13:23 Derek Everything seems about the same
13:23 Rich I'm waiting to see what T. Scott or Dave Montieh have to say.
13:23 grant camper I was wondering
13:24 grant camper about?
13:24 Rich Beehive this year has had short intervals down to 9 h 30 m. and as long as about 32 h.
13:25 Rich But up until Giantess BH was running around 13 h 30 m intervals.
13:26 Rich So many geysers were erupting around the time of Giantess start.
13:26 grant camper I see
13:27 grant camper The geyser hill wave
13:27 Rich I just started geyser gazing in March on a semi regular basis. Learning as I go.
13:28 Rich That is my understanding.
13:28 grant camper Yeah, that's the only way to do it.
13:29 Rich Everyone here has been a great help.
13:30 grant camper I read the book but it doesn't mean a whole lot until I see it. Then I can put it together.
13:30 Rich I signed up on the geyserlistserv and read the reports everyday. They cover more features than I can see, but I figure it will sink in sometime.
13:31 grant camper And even then things are always changing. It's not like timing a bus schedule.
13:31 Rich I was kidding around about having to sit on top the web cam when I next go to YNP just so I can get orientated.
13:31 grant camper I love that list serve. I love Lynn's reports. I like it all.
13:32 Rich Pump - but then the weather has to be right for steaming.
13:32 Rich Lynn makes it "human" with the ancedotes.
13:32 grant camper that might work :)
13:34 grant camper I've had trouble finding the webcam when I'm there. Yes she does. It's a great read.
13:34 Rich Static cam is back up, refreshing
13:34 Rich New prediction for OF also
13:35 Rich From what I gather if you are standing facing the temp VC on the sidewalk, they are to the left of the VC sidewalk and about 30 feet up a tree.
13:36 grant camper I will look again.
13:36 Rich If you have Google Earth you can just about pin point the location. Line up the visible geysers and reverse triangulate on the cams.
13:37 grant camper What are those people gathering around by bee hve; it isn't due to go
13:38 grant camper Oh wow.
13:38 Rich Might be a Ranger lead group.
13:39 grant camper You can't see Great Fountain from the webcam either. That is fantastic
13:39 grant camper Very possible.
13:39 Rich Many times people wait there when it is close to time for Plume.
13:40 grant camper Oh okay.
13:40 Jason Firefox I just want a Giant Geyser streaming cam and i'd be in heaven :D
13:40 Rich I'm getting so I can spot Riverside, Excelsior and Solitary. I've started marking the locations by the tree line.
13:41 Rich lol
13:41 grant camper Yeah, Giant would be nice.
13:41 Jason Firefox Excelsior Rich? that's pretty far.. :P
13:41 grant camper Those cabins look very familiar.
13:42 grant camper I want to have great geyser luck when I'm up there in August.
13:42 Rich Well when YNP gets WiFi'd, a cam in every tree. g
13:42 Jason Firefox Sides, I'd get all giddy inside of excelsior ever came out of it's dormancy 8)
13:42 Rich When ti steams nice and tall.
13:43 grant camper I guess that was quite the geyser.
13:44 Rich Hi Kent
13:44 Jason Firefox Cam must have a loose cable
13:44 grant camper It didn't just blow water; it blew rocks.
13:44 grant camper Good Afternoon Kent! :)
13:44 Derek That's what I thought
13:45 Kent Hi Rich/GC. Strangeness with the streaming cam today. First time I have ever seen the blue screen of death.
13:45 grant camper Hi Jason :)
13:46 Rich With the wind of a couple of days ago, anything is possible.
13:46 Jason Firefox hi Grant
13:46 grant camper I heard about that wind on the list serve.
13:47 grant camper Yellowstone isn't Casper Wyo
13:47 grant camper Where you from Jason?
13:47 grant camper I'm from Loveland Colo.
13:48 Jason Firefox Southern Cali
13:48 Rich Wind can shake just about anything loose.
13:48 Jason Firefox hehe I know that place
13:48 Jason Firefox my wife is from boulder
13:49 Jason Firefox Shaking coaxil loose (if thats what the cam uses) was some pretty hefty wind
13:49 Jason Firefox or the cable is broken a little
13:49 grant camper Oh yeah, my work is close to Boulder. We went to So cal this spring.
13:50 Rich Wind took down the Tacoma Narrows bridge.
13:50 Jason Firefox I was there pretty often the past 4 years. My wife went to Boulder for college, so it was a lengthy long distance relationship
13:51 grant camper cu
13:52 grant camper great school
13:52 grant camper who is doing the camera today?
13:52 grant camper I went to CU colorado Springs
13:53 grant camper for my ba

13:55 grant camper oh that was weird
13:55 grant camper blue
13:58 Jason Firefox I havn't been there since 2001 :(
13:58 grant camper talk to you later.
13:58 grant camper bye bye
13:58 Jason Firefox I'm still trying to intice my wife for Sept of this year, but with a new baby and an insistance to visit her mom and dad in colorado with the baby it's doubtful
13:59 Rich Derek is on cam
13:59 Jason Firefox I'm hoping to sneak out of Colorado with her brother for a few days and go there 8)
13:59 Rich bye grant
13:59 grant camper It's hard with babies.
14:00 Rich That would be a good "sneak".
14:00 grant camper bye
14:01 Rich bye

16:14 Rich hi bojo
16:14 Rich That's not quite the question.
16:14 Graham i think that may have had something to do with sitting on the boardwalk and letting it erupt all over me with the wind blowing right at me
16:14 bojo hello
16:15 Graham no wonder nobody is there :)
16:15 Rich Ya think???? lol
16:15 Graham OF is late

16:29 Graham oohhhhh ahhhhhhh
16:29 Rich If your MOM heard you refer to her as a little old lady, you had better be in a different state.

16:29 Rich Have a good weekend Jason.
16:29 Graham thanks Jason have a good weekend
16:30 Rich From your fingers to the cybergods keyboard.
16:30 Rich Maybe Yellowstone will just blow up altogether.
16:31 Graham or maybe an entire Clepsydra eruption?
16:31 Graham she keeps telling me shes old and shes littler than I am
16:33 Rich Hmmmm, and she didn't drown you when you were a pup????
16:34 Graham nah..haha..she even dived in to rescue me once
16:36 Rich I would like a new image on the static cam please!

16:38 Rich Guess I will just have to go watch the osprey chicks at St. Mary's.

16:38 Rich must be ash on the lens.
16:38 Rich There are 3 chicks in the nest
16:39 Graham ahhhh
16:39 Graham you know if you were able to watch the streaming cam it wouldn't be working either now?
16:40 Graham ahhh

17:03 Rich But it has gone down 2 twice today
17:03 carol b soooo are you going to drive home via wyoming?
17:04 Rich Always after an OF prediction.

» July 11th, 2009

05:12 Victoria Hi Jason.
05:19 carol b hi Victoria
05:20 Victoria Good morning Carol B.
05:20 Victoria Lots of steam in the basin.
05:22 carol b Looks more like a May morning than a july morning
05:22 Victoria OF: 39 degrees at 0600
05:22 carol b I couldn't sleep. thought I'd get up and see what beehive was doing
05:22 Victoria oh to be there....
05:23 carol b amen....are you going this summer?
05:23 Victoria I just got here about 0610. steam from Indicator, but that's all i've seen
05:24 Victoria was just re-reading yesterdays emails trying to catch up on what is going on with BH
05:25 Victoria Tomorrow! But the good one is next weekend when I can be there as early as I want (nomommy weekend)
05:25 carol b Giantess affect. I love ben's posts!
05:26 carol b you must live close by
05:27 Victoria me too. Hoppe's report yesterday on BH was wonderful.
05:27 Victoria Billings. 4 hours to UGB
05:27 Victoria In MT, that is just a short drive.
05:27 Victoria and I am an insomniac
05:28 carol b lucky u!
05:28 Graham morning
05:29 carol b our drive is 15-18 hours....so 4 hours is soooo doable. I love Billings. a great city
05:29 Victoria have you been this year or have plans?
05:29 Victoria Good morning Graham
05:29 carol b morning graham
05:30 carol b We went for 3 weeks early spring....still suffering from park withdrawl
05:30 carol b Hi derek....WOW the gangs all here
05:31 Derek Hi all
05:31 Victoria Good morning Derek
05:32 Graham I am sure Derek could fly there in 15-18 hours :)
05:32 Derek Graham, are you going out anytime soon?
05:32 Graham 49 days to go...
05:33 Victoria my knees hurt just thinking about that many hours on a plane.
05:33 Graham nope, coffees brewing
05:33 Derek My son should be arriving later and he may want to work on my PCs so I'll need a standby operator.
05:33 Graham glad you got to see Beehive last night Carol
05:33 carol b Yea! how long are you going to stay graham?
05:34 Derek I wonder if we'll get any blue screens today.
05:34 carol b WEE! It was very interesting!
05:34 Graham ok, I will be out part of the day but we can work it. when will he be arriving?
05:34 Victoria when did BH go last night?
05:34 Graham 15 nights
05:35 carol b Dark, camara's flashing, and someone had a red flashlight and was playing with it right toward the camara
05:35 Derek Sometime in the next couple of hours
05:35 Graham log says 2142
05:35 carol b great!
05:36 Graham k\
05:36 Victoria thank you
05:36 carol b 21:42
05:36 Derek Static cam is still off
05:37 Victoria you want me to have my 15 year old shimmy up the tree tomorrow to fix the camera's? B)
05:39 carol b you going for the day?
05:40 Victoria yes
05:40 Victoria haven't been able to go for about a month and suffering withdrawal. need a fix.
05:40 Graham Rich was suffering withdrawal symptoms yesterday with the cam stuck, I wonder what he will be like today!
05:41 carol b you a lucky duck! Did you drive up to see Giantess?
05:41 Graham where will you go for a 1 day trip?
05:41 Derek Like a bear with a sore head :-)
05:42 Victoria I was in trial. Missed the WHOLE show!
05:43 Victoria Had planned to do Canyon, Hayden. But with all the fun in this week with geysers, thinking will be over on that side.
05:43 Victoria Certainly the UGB.
05:43 Graham I just pushed out Ben's report from yesterday with the second Beehive in it
05:43 Victoria After road closes in August, will be more likely to spend time in the other parts of the Park.
05:44 Graham do they still work on the road on Sundays?
05:45 Graham it will be a long drive for me to Norris in Sept
05:45 carol b Sorry to hear you missed the Giantess show. It was FANTASTIC!
05:47 Victoria my understanding is, except for the 4th of July weekend, the road is closed 2200 to 0800 every day. 8/17 it closes period.
05:47 carol b Yes that is a long drive. However something to think about: here in the west school have been getting out in the summer early and start again in Aug.....maybe the crowds won't be so bad thus the "road delay" not so bad.
05:48 Victoria got lots of pictures of Giantess, but except for late evening checks here, really so none of it. knew something was happening, but couldn't do anything
05:48 Graham well at least its not as bad as when they worked on the OF-Madison stretch!
05:48 carol b that nixes my idea...road closed
05:50 Graham yeah but at least the drive rond the east side won't be too busy either
05:50 Victoria maybe more people will be able to see the creatures on the road from canyon to lake this year. they will be forced to see the bison rut!
05:50 Graham Done it before, its not bad really, I get an early start. Hope I can pick a "day-after-F&M" to go
05:51 Victoria last September, the jam during rut was about 2 miles long. will be worse this year with all of the vehicles forced over to that side.
05:53 Graham hum...yes that would be bad. but isn't that late Sept?
05:54 Victoria Graham: you will be there long enough to catch an F&M?
05:54 Graham I am suffering withdrawal too, I went in May the last two years but not this time
05:54 Victoria Yes, late Se[t, early Oct. I don't know when road is scheduled to be reopened.
05:54 Graham OF 0653
05:54 Derek 06:54 OF
05:55 Victoria 'catching F&M' of course assumes the geyser gods are with you...
05:55 Graham I hope so, saw 4 last Sept in same duration trip..and missed a 5th by about 2 hours when I arrived
05:55 Victoria nice OF with morning sun.
05:55 carol b hopefully he'll catch 3 F & M's
05:55 Derek :P
05:55 Graham road isn't going to reopen till Dec
05:56 Victoria I hadn't heard that. thanks Graham.
05:56 Graham I saw it at 2, 3, 5, and 11 AM so it took some work to see it, I was doing the 1am-6am shift down there
05:56 carol b all in daylight....hopefully
05:56 Derek Was that a short?
05:57 Derek Graham, was that OF a short?
05:57 Graham Tara did one late shift, Dean the others after Tara left
05:58 Derek Hello
05:58 carol b sorry derek I didn't see the start time
05:58 Derek I'm invisible again :-(
05:58 Graham I was only out one night wthout it erupting so that made it fun. I had never seen F&M at night either and the wnd blew over the river so you could stand close. way cool. Best Mortar eruption too
05:58 Graham yep it was short
05:59 carol b are you down there by yourself graham?
05:59 Graham I was just typing
05:59 Graham thinking about F&M...
06:00 Graham UM and LM both going straight up roaring like Beehive :) :)
06:00 Derek Whats that big steam plume?
06:00 Graham one person was watching through the night and calling on FRS and Cell when something happened
06:00 carol b funny how everything else vanishes from the brain once we start focusing on geysers
06:01 Graham I had one eruption to myself, one with Dean and Lynn, another with Dean and someone else
06:01 Victoria So next weekend, if F&M is near time to erupt, maybe I should go over Friday night and sit over? I have never seen a night eruption.
06:01 Graham its Grotto
06:01 carol b that makes for some sleepless nites
06:02 Derek Nice
06:02 carol b Hello Cynthia
06:03 Graham its tough to do, was easy for me since I get up at 4 when i am in the park anyway and got an evening nap while Dean was watching. I only had one run down there after I went to bed for an 'un-eventful cycle'
06:03 Derek Although I'd love to visit Yellowstone I would be too nervous to go out in the dark
06:03 Cynthia Hi All:
06:03 Victoria yes, sleepless, but if that is one's nature anyway, might as well find a good show to watch!
06:03 Graham if you are out at night and it doesn't go, the next day is a slow one
06:03 Derek Hi
06:04 Graham good luck :)
06:04 carol b Yep.
06:04 Graham the other good thing was that with Dean and I splitting the whole night we knew we would see it whenever it went
06:05 Graham they have daylight there too Derek :)
06:06 Graham the bison don't show up very well at night tho and for some reason they like to eat and sleep right next to the boardwalks
06:06 Victoria most days anyway
06:06 carol b you take bearspray in your pack?
06:07 Graham ai love watching geysers in the dark, you hear so much more and can still see more than you think
06:08 Graham no, most of the time I am there in Jan and Sept. I only go out in the dark on the OF boardwalks
06:08 Derek I would sleep indoors at night and enjoy the day.
06:08 Grant Camper Good morning
06:09 Derek When I was on security in Chatham Dockyard I hated night patrols.
06:09 Graham morning
06:09 carol b I would love to spend a moonlit night in the UGB
06:09 Graham yeah especially this time of year theres so much sunshine
06:09 carol b morning Grant
06:09 Graham very few people are out between midnight and 5
06:10 Victoria I enjoy seeing the geysers at sunrise and sunset. something inspiring about the way the light reflects off steam and water.
06:10 Grant Camper Morning Graham; Morning Carol :)
06:11 carol b I imagine!
06:11 Victoria remember Mars effect this August too. Will be interesting to see if we have more ambient light then.
06:11 Derek Hi
06:12 Victoria Good morning Grant.
06:12 carol b hum. interesting
06:13 carol b gotta run. going to the fruit market early. see ya later have a great day
06:13 Graham here you go Carol
06:13 Graham http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?pid=30058778&l=a114895551&id=1470722670
06:13 Grant Camper Good Morning Victoria. I don't think I've met you.
06:13 Victoria Bye Carol. Have a good day! I need peaches!
06:14 Graham thats a night pic of Grand Carol
06:14 Graham you cant leave now :)
06:14 Grant Camper See you Carol.
06:14 Victoria Graham - THAT is beautiful!
06:15 carol b ok going to look
06:15 Graham thanks. first time I have tried a moonlit shot of a geyser. Vent created such a nice sharp edge to the steam it worked well
06:16 Grant Camper Gorgeous!
06:17 Victoria ok. you all have convinced me. There will be some night watching this August for me. Mars. Shooting Stars. Geysers. Life is good.
06:17 Graham grand sounds so cool when theres no people noise too
06:18 Grant Camper It's one of the best moon lit shots I've ever seen. Must take a special exposure.
06:18 Graham full moon is August 5th
06:19 Victoria going to mark that on my calendar.
06:19 carol b That is a wonderful pic graham! I can almost feel the solitude of spending the nite in amongst the geysers! Thank you!
06:20 Graham ISO 400, f 3.5, 3second exposure with my camear resting on the wooden benches
06:21 Graham looking at the calendar again......nope...its still 49 days!
06:21 Graham thanks, I will try some more night shots but I don't take a tripod so it has to be where theres a bench
06:21 carol b ok gotta go now by Derek, Graham, Grant, and Victoria
06:22 Graham bye
06:22 Derek Seeya
06:23 Grant Camper Bye carol
06:23 Victoria bye Carol
06:24 Grant Camper The cam is working better this morning.
06:24 Victoria So now I have to decide if I should spend a week in YNP and the UGB, or go to Boston to see the new granddaughter. Hmmmm. The baby wouldn't miss me, right?
06:25 Derek Nah
06:25 Derek :-)
06:26 Graham ahhhhh haha
06:26 Grant Camper The baby needs her first picture in front of a geyser. Okay maybe a bit soon, huh?
06:27 Graham better watch out, she will be a whiney teenager before you know it!
06:27 Rich Can CC call the VC and report the static cam?
06:27 Rich Morning all
06:28 Victoria not a chance of getting her parents out here.
06:28 Victoria Her being is Boston will be a good thing when she is 13!
06:28 Rich hi Grant
06:28 Rich Hi Jason
06:28 Rich Hi Victoria
06:28 Rich Hi Derek
06:28 Victoria Good morning Rich.
06:28 Rich Hi Graham
06:29 Graham hey Rich
06:29 Grant Camper Hi Rich
06:30 Grant Camper how old is baby?
06:30 Rich This day has gone by fast, it is already 16:11:58, looks a lot like yesterday. g
06:31 Victoria born the day Giantess erupted.
06:31 Victoria very new
06:31 Grant Camper Congratulations!
06:32 Graham did they name her after Giantess too?
06:32 Grant Camper My grandson is 1 year old.
06:32 Victoria yeah, it was an easy labor for me. X-D
06:32 Rich Victoria, you going to nickname her Giantess? g
06:33 Rich lol
06:33 Rich gm
06:33 Victoria Gyneth. Never even thought to suggest a geyser name!
06:33 Grant Camper Time flies by
06:33 Victoria Will have to think about that rich. Her mom is about 5 feet in stilleto's so not sure it would ever fit!
06:34 Grant Camper That's a pretty name.
06:34 Rich Splendid?
06:34 Victoria Grant - this is my 3rd g-chld. all live far far away.
06:34 Grant Camper My grandson was almost named Hayden, but dad didn't like it.
06:35 Grant Camper That's a bummer.
06:36 Grant Camper Victoria, when were you planning on coming up to the UGB
06:36 Victoria Hayden would be a GREAT name for a kid! too sad.
06:36 Victoria tomorrow! and again next Saturday.
06:38 Graham hum...could be an F&M day tomorrow, slightly shorter interval but possible
06:38 Grant Camper Nice! You must live relatively close to YNP
06:39 Victoria that would be a very short interval, wouldn't it? I haven't logged the last 10 day's activity.
06:39 Victoria Billings
06:41 Graham 8am will be 3 1/2 days
06:41 Grant Camper Ahhh okay NICE! I wouldn't mind living that close.
06:41 Graham thats 8am tomorrow
06:41 Graham last interval was 4 1/2 but it can easily go at 3 1/2 now
06:41 Victoria that would just be a 4 day cycle on F&M?
06:41 Grant Camper I'm coming up in early August.
06:42 Grant Camper What is the shortest cycle it has had?
06:42 Victoria with road closure, I can be there about 9. Will plan on it!
06:43 Graham keep that radio on, i expect it will be wathced tomorrow
06:43 Graham this year I think the shortest was the last one but 3 1/2 - 5 1/2 is one of its sweet spots
06:44 Graham shortest ever was 22 hours I think
06:44 Victoria radio will be on dash from Norris throughout the day. Glad you mentioned it... will grab some batteries NOW!
06:44 Graham last year I think it had at least one under 3 days
06:45 Grant Camper Last year was a good year for F & M
06:46 Graham I expect it will be watched during the day...haha .. although on Labor Day 2007 everyone - yes everyone - was up at Artemisia at one point so I went back to F&M and saw it start having events
06:48 Grant Camper I've never seen F&M go off.
06:48 Graham yep, maybe its Giantess year this time
06:49 Grant Camper or Steamboat or Giant
06:49 Graham well worth seeing and they have a lot of pre-eruptive activity so most of last year you had an hour to get down there
06:50 Grant Camper Do you like Billings Victoria?
06:50 Graham Giant is harder to see, not much warning once the hot period has started so you have to camp out there when its in a windoww....Steamboat is pretty much impossible, just have to be realy lucky
06:51 Victoria yes. Blgs good place to raise kids. been here since '68 with short break for school.
06:51 Grant Camper I had my folks with me last year. They wanted to stay and watch OF. I was jumping in my boots. It was all good.
06:51 Graham Giant made me have my only all-night stay in the basin waiting for it when it was showing all the positive signs
06:52 Graham you just need to set the ground rules Grant :)
06:52 Grant Camper Yeah, I've been to Billings a few times. It's been a long time. We usually go through Lander now.
06:53 Grant Camper Did it go after your all night stay.
06:53 Grant Camper I tried. I almost had a fit. You guys you can see OF go anytime!
06:54 Graham had my family at the Inn waiting for dinner and Giant/grotto were doing weird things so we missed Dinner
06:54 Graham yep, 0532 on the 6th hot period of the day! Nice pink sunrise too
06:55 Grant Camper Sounds like you have the upper hand. I don't so much.
06:55 Graham big OF preplay there
06:56 Grant Camper Oh man. and they didn't catch you for overnight camping.
06:56 Graham well I was paying the bill, so I got what I wanted :)
06:56 Graham I didnt sleep, so its legal
06:57 Graham its not illegal to watch geysers at night
06:57 Grant Camper I see. ha ha
06:58 Grant Camper No, I'm sure there is no one out there anyway. Except for crazy geyser gazers.
06:59 Grant Camper and grizzly
07:00 Rich hi guest446170
07:00 Graham OF 0758
07:00 Victoria nice bear....
07:01 Graham I have woken up campers at Grand too, just before Grand erupted
07:01 Rich Loisb and I are off to the Chittendon Locks. Time to check out the flowers, take a few photos.
07:01 Grant Camper Victoria you could photo shop the grand daughter in front of a geyser.
07:01 Rich Wow, that sure is a nice OF.
07:02 Graham ok Rich.....we will work on the cam while you are gone
07:02 Grant Camper Oh beautiful eruption.
07:02 Rich away bb
07:02 Victoria have heard the flowers are spectacular right now. Like Lynn S reported many aren't even in Shaw's. Taking it tomorrow anyway.
07:02 Victoria will have to consider that Grant!
07:02 Graham I think you missed it between the refreshes there Rich
07:02 Grant Camper Chittendon locks?
07:03 Grant Camper You can tell her stories about it when she gets older.
07:04 Grant Camper Graham; I'm sure they appreciated you waking them up.
07:05 Grant Camper There are many times I wish they still had a campground at UGB
07:05 Victoria Rich - my daughter got married on Lake Washington. Beautiful. Too bad the marriage didn't last... but at least the memories did.
07:06 Graham well since Grand went a little later, they were not going to sleep for long! was close to dawn anyway
07:07 Graham Grand has a wonderful rumble when it starts, often hard t ohear during the day
07:08 Grant Camper Did they have tent or just sleeping bags?
07:08 Graham no yelling and screaming and radio calls
07:08 Graham just water and steam
07:08 Victoria you guys have convinced me. After a hearing Friday morning, I am going to nap, then head to the UGB before road closing. Think I will do an all nighter...
07:09 Graham sleeping bags between the benches so they were on-trail
07:09 Victoria I promise not to shine my flashlight toward the camera.
07:09 Graham they were through hiking and theres nowhere near to camp
07:10 Grant Camper Sounds lovely Victoria. I am totally jealous!
07:10 Graham alright!
07:10 Grant Camper So they camped in the UGB.
07:10 Grant Camper Where did they camp?
07:12 Graham they slept between the benches at Grand, not really camping
07:12 Grant Camper Graham: you already answered my question. woops
07:12 Graham packed up and left because the sun was coming up anyway
07:12 Grant Camper When are you going up Victoria.
07:13 Victoria for next weekend, given plan above, likely to leave home late afternoon on 7/17
07:14 Grant Camper Sounds wonderbar.
07:14 Grant Camper victoria
07:15 Grant Camper Well I better git.
07:15 Grant Camper Talk to you all later. Nice to meet you Victoria. you lucky duck.
07:15 Victoria Bye Grant
07:16 Victoria quack quack
07:16 Grant Camper :)
07:16 Grant Camper bye
07:16 Graham see you Grant
07:22 Graham trip next weekend, out Thursday night, back Monday afternoon...about $1000 without lodging
07:23 Victoria I will spend less than $100: mostly for gas. Take my own food. Appreciate work of Xanterra, hate their grub.
07:25 Graham yeah I hear Xanterra food has gone downhill but Delaware North is better?
07:25 Victoria That extra guest: me. testing to see if could get here on phone. It works!
07:25 Graham thats for flight and car at Bozeman. not going to do it this year tho
07:26 Graham ah
07:26 Victoria I just play it safe: I are a darn good cook, IMHO.
07:26 Graham so you can request geyser times or report them?
07:27 Victoria that's what I am checking out. have vid, but not sure how to get to actual chat. too old for the technology?
07:28 Graham I usually stop at Albertsons in Belgrade and stock up on junk food, then am at the mercy of Xanterra and DN
07:28 Graham video is impressive on the phone
07:30 Victoria vid good. does time me out. phone also keeps telling me going to vid could cause phone to be 'unstable' Oops!
07:31 Victoria I like food mart in Gardiner. Nice people. Local.
07:32 Graham i usually just dash down to West. Glad tp hear theres somewhere in Gardner, is it expensive like the stores in West? Albertsons in Belgrade is right on the way
07:34 Victoria Gardiner Food Mart only a little hi. VERY convenient if you are in the north part of the Park.
07:35 Graham k, thanks for the info
07:37 Victoria And of course always remember: no sales tax in MT
07:37 Victoria but you would have same in West
07:39 Graham is that just no tax on food or no sales tax at all?
07:39 Victoria Am I mistaken, or are we in the window for BH?
07:41 Victoria no sales tax at all. There is a tax on some tourist activities (restaurants and lodging), but those are local taxes.
07:41 Graham window being 9 - 16 hours
07:41 Graham looks like we have ants on the boardwalk now
07:42 Victoria thats what I thought, and absolutely nothing other than early morning steam. I will persevere however...
07:43 Graham it has been splashing a bit
07:44 Victoria tomorrow at this time I will be one of those ants. :)
07:47 Graham are you a Beehive watcher?
07:49 Victoria Yes. But if I I had to chose between Grand, F&M of BH, BH would not be at the top of the list just because it is easier to catch
07:50 Victoria because i am in the Park vicariously through the webcam, BH has just become a beacon for me.
07:51 Graham I always find it hard to stand up there on the boardwalk waiting for it. I would be down at F&M tomorrow
07:52 Victoria tha's my plan
07:52 Victoria crazy creek chair (older than my youngest child!) helps me sit for long periods.
07:55 Graham as long as someones down at F&M you can be near Beehive. Last year I was in Black Sand Basin when they called water in the indicator and I got to Beehive before it erupted :)
07:57 Victoria on foot or bike?
07:58 Rich You are a chatty group today. g
07:58 Rich We's back!
07:58 Rich And Graham you need to go back to camaera school.
07:59 Graham haha car
07:59 Victoria BH will go now: need to fix brkfst for teen, so I will be away.
07:59 Graham drove to the cabins and did the dash over the bridge
07:59 Graham that was quick Rich
07:59 Victoria its me Rich. sorry. you all will get some peace and quiet while I whip up some french toast...
08:00 Graham which of my photo's don't you like Rich?
08:00 Graham hope for a long indicator
08:01 Rich http://www.seattle.gov/tour/locks.htm
08:01 Rich I enjoy the chatting. Don't go on my account. lol
08:02 Rich oohh, French Toast with powdered sugar. yummmmmm
08:03 Rich http://www.nws.usace.army.mil/PublicMenu/Menu.cfm?sitename=lwsc&pagename=mainpage
08:03 Rich a couple of links for the H. Chittendon Locks
08:03 Graham whwres the lock-cam Rich?
08:04 Graham that would be a good spot for a cam
08:07 Graham Oblong 0905
08:07 Rich Unfortunately no one has donated a web cam.
08:08 Rich I might be able to mount one on Loisb's roof and see part of the locks.
08:09 Rich They Corps has security cams but I don't think they are web compatible.
08:11 Rich hi guest724493
08:12 skibammer howdy
08:12 skibammer cmon beehive
08:12 Rich The people in the static cam must have "slept" standing up last night.
08:13 Rich hi skibammer
08:13 Graham there has been some splashing but not a lot that I have seen
08:14 Victoria ok, so my brain checks out on the weekends. Running back and forth here and suddenly realized that I am using my laptop, and it can go into the kitchen with me. duh... pan heating.
08:15 skibammer i had hoped for a space shuttle launch tonight but i guess beehive will have to do since the shuttle scrubbed for today
08:17 Graham is it a heat and syrup resistant laptop?
08:17 skibammer hmm maybe a lion soon too
08:17 Graham thats good timing
08:17 Victoria Hi Skibammer. Why was mission scrubbed?
08:18 Victoria haahaaahaaa Graham
08:18 Graham Lion 0916
08:18 Victoria with me it mostly has to be a drop resistant unit.
08:18 Rich Have you seen the flexible keyboards?
08:18 Rich You can roll them up.
08:18 skibammer lightning strikes last night around the pad. they need more time to investigate. will try for tomorrow
08:19 Victoria have seen. thought about getting one for my smartphone.
08:20 Victoria this was the second delay on this space mission?
08:20 Rich RE-PC http://www.repc.com/seattle.htmlhas a bunch of them.
08:21 skibammer 3rd delay. last 2 were for hydrogen leaks. theyve fixed the leaks they think
08:21 Victoria thx Rich. will check out. After bkfst.
08:22 Rich Strike a match???
08:22 Rich Nothing on the site Victoria
08:22 Rich just location
08:23 Rich and basic information about store
08:24 Victoria gotcha
08:25 Rich July 11, 1859 Big Ben Struck for the first time.
08:26 Rich Hi Kent

08:31 Rich I'll bring the Starbucks
08:32 Graham you didn't miss beehive
08:32 Graham you serving food at Lower Hams?
08:32 Victoria remember extra shot of espresso for me.
08:32 Graham from your vehicle in the parking lot?
08:32 Graham pancakes taste yummy there
08:33 Victoria good. thx Graham.
08:33 Victoria Food could be arranged!
08:33 Victoria I personally love trunk cuisine.
08:34 Rich http://www.earthcam.com/uk/england/bigben/main.html
08:35 Victoria foggy in London. Sun is shining in Yellowstone however.
08:35 Graham Lynn's Pancake Stand has done great business before
08:36 Rich Note: See what happens when I can't see the static cam. g
08:38 Rich I like to say hi every once in a while just to check and see if he is lurking.
08:38 Graham therapy seems to be working Rich
08:39 Rich Victoria, people come and go here just like the visitors at OF. Just a splash and they are gone. lol
08:41 Victoria KenT gave me link to this page. You can blame him. Good friend.
08:41 Graham Plume 0939
08:42 Victoria nice camera angle with OF and Plume
08:43 Rich When the therapy doesn't seem to help, I just take a pill. g
08:44 Rich Big Ben starting keeping time May 31, 1859
08:46 Graham Big Ben doesn't keep time
08:46 Graham it goes BONG
08:47 Victoria It took them 41 days to get the ringing figured out?
08:47 Victoria Maybe Michael Phelps should get his picture taken in front of Big Ben?
08:49 Rich Bong?
08:55 Victoria looks like a few more specators on the bench by BH. Maybe some word over the radio that we are too far away to receive?
08:56 Rich http://www.bbc.co.uk/london/in_pictures/viewsoflondon/big_ben/index.shtml http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/england/london/8145668.stm
08:57 Graham OF 0955
08:59 Rich Look at that heighth.
09:01 Graham yeah it was a quick start, shot right up
09:05 Rich hi guest1006811
09:07 Dave M Hi
09:07 Dave M Has the chat page been down the last few days?
09:07 Victoria Hi Dave
09:08 Graham hello Dave
09:08 Rich nno
09:08 Graham this page has been up but the log has not been working
09:09 Rich The log is tacked on to June 30
09:09 Rich page 4 is today
09:10 Rich Hi Dave M
09:10 Graham ah, good catch Rich
09:11 Dave M Interesting. I haven't been able to connect. I wonder if I'm having system issues.
09:11 Graham I like to be able to see what you-all have been saying during the day
09:11 HAL Occasionally I have to remind Rich of what he is good for.
09:11 Graham Daisy 1010
09:12 Dave M Is the still cam stuck on Friday?
09:12 Victoria Dave, I have had trouble connecting the last couple of days too. Was at work tho so didn't have time to mess with. No prob's today.
09:12 HAL http://chatlogs.meebo.com/room/oldfaithfulchat/logs/2009/06/30/page4/
09:12 Graham last weekend there were problems but its been ok during the week
09:12 Rich YEp
09:13 Rich Since the OF ~17:00 eruption
09:13 Graham yep, Rich hasn't seen anything erupt since the webcam froze
09:14 Rich Has happened before.
09:14 Rich Well I've seen Big Ben. lol
09:14 Victoria X-D
09:15 Rich Last time CC called the VC and reported it, soon after it started working again.
09:16 Rich Hi guest5882592
09:17 DaveM That was weird. I was just logged out of the chat page and had to restart. Maybe I'm trying to run too much on the computer just now.
09:21 Rich Graham is saving up for Cray that we all will be able to use.
09:24 DaveM Cray has a new "workstation" which is almost in the range of a consumer.
09:27 Graham I have no problem with my quad core here with 6GB of AM, works fine for me
09:27 Graham RAM even
09:27 Graham ok Rich, you can watch some geysers on FB, I uploaded some more pictures
09:27 DaveM I'm jealous.
09:29 Graham well my old computer was 5-6 years and was struggling so I sprung for a new one this year. Extra memory mad a huge difference for going thru my pictures
09:30 Rich Meebo sometimes will disconnect when your bandwidth gets to low.
09:30 Graham Old pics now on FB http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=2011806&id=1470722670&l=ec4d4173be
09:32 Rich Old?
09:32 Rich Where did you get photos of me?
09:32 Rich g
09:32 Rich hi guest921902
09:33 Graham I have the stereoview shots of you as a baby Rich
09:46 Graham Lion 1245ie
09:47 Graham I mean 1045ie
10:09 Rich http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=2013113&id=1427016656&l=674f2e5afc
10:11 Victoria Beautiful flowers Rich. I so envy gardeners in the Pacific Northwest.
10:12 Rich thank you Victoria
10:12 Rich The weeds grow especially nice also.
10:12 Rich Blackberries everywhere. g
10:14 DaveM I like the red flowers. Very nice.
10:16 Rich the red spike flowers are crocosmia's
10:17 Rich ty DaveM
10:21 Rich http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?pid=30239393&l=20e674ba1e&id=1427016656
10:21 Rich that is the Conservatory in Volunteer Park. photos in next album
10:21 Victoria Rich: I specialize in weeds. Especially this year!
10:24 Rich I've been working to eliminate Blackberries.
10:24 Rich They took over my sister
10:24 Rich 's backyard.
10:24 Rich At home I have a not so nice crop of star thistles.
10:27 Graham OF 1125
10:32 Graham tweet time
10:32 Graham indicator is going
10:32 Graham oh, Rich isn't here
10:32 Graham Ind 1131ie
10:32 Graham tweet Rich
10:33 Victoria Just got back from moving water. was timed out on camera here!!! Whew
10:33 Graham theres moving water on the cam too
10:35 Graham good time to get back here
10:36 Rich He's here, just not at FB times.
10:36 Rich Nice cam angle.
10:37 Rich Hi guest12579
10:37 Rich Hi Michael
10:37 Graham see the Indicator Rich?
10:38 Michael Hi. Is this today's first Indicator, I hope?
10:39 Rich Clear as yesterday
10:41 Rich Yes
10:42 Graham unless there was one overnight while it was dark......
10:45 Michael Thanks.
10:46 Victoria but if last known at 2142, not likely that there was an intervening eruption?
10:48 Michael Right. My concern was about false indicators.
10:48 Michael Non need to worry now.
10:48 Graham Beehive 1146
10:49 Victoria gotcha Michael. Been here since 0610. so long as cam looking that way, I haven't seen anything.
10:49 Graham I find it hard to get frightened about long indicators when Beehives interval was 9h55min!
10:50 Graham if we want Beehive back to normal it will be unpredictable :)
10:51 Michael That's exactly when you should get frightened.
10:52 Michael At least one of the times Beehive "broke", it started when Indicator went solo at 9-10 hours.
10:54 Graham yeah but I think Beehive intervals were a lot longer then so it was a "mid-cycle" time
10:55 Victoria Well that was an enjoyable way to spend my morning, which has now entirely disappeared. Now I must get some actual work done. Thank you all.
10:57 Graham see you
10:57 Michael My vague recollection is that Indicator seemed too early that time, but not outrageously so.
10:58 Michael Bye Victoria.
10:59 Graham we are lucky now with it being so frequent and regular
11:02 Michael That's for sure.
11:06 Michael OK. I'm giving Lion one more roar, then I'm signing off.
11:07 Graham its still fairly early, 1045 earlier
11:09 Michael well, I've got to set boundaries somewhere...
11:11 Graham another huff of steam there
11:11 Graham could wait for Daisy...its at 2 hours
11:11 Michael I think that was it. Good afternoon to all.
11:19 Graham Castle 1217ie H2O
11:24 Graham Daisy 1222
11:31 Rich Static cam is finally back up
11:31 Rich Wonder what happened?
11:37 Graham everyone breath a sigh of relief...ahhhhh
11:38 Rich ahhhhh
11:39 Rich To bad the computer couldn't have been rebooted earlier.
11:39 Rich http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=2013117&id=1427016656&l=57b352edc9
11:41 Derek My son's finaly gone

11:49 Graham well I might be around a bit in the morning
11:49 Graham but out all afternoon and evening

14:55 Rich Because it is FB
14:55 Rich The Flaming Geyser vid is up.
14:57 Rich OF preplay
15:02 Graham browser is misbehaving
15:05 Rich Bad browser, bad.
15:06 Rich Now are we talking about a pet or a computer program?
15:10 Graham uploading them now. Frustrating to go through and select the pictures to upload then have to do it all over again
15:11 Graham another late OF
15:12 Graham OF 1611
15:14 Rich Lois wants an idiot board, so we can send messages to the crowd.

05:15 Graham yeah I just logged in and its down
05:17 Graham Depression 0615
05:17 carol b darn!
05:17 Graham from cam control screen
05:17 carol b how are you this morning?
05:18 Graham shows up on static cam too
05:19 Graham Riverside 0617ie too
05:20 carol b Double Darn!!!!
05:21 Graham I will be out most of the day so I will be ok without the cam. you?
05:21 carol b Just thinking how greatful I am that the cam didn't go down last week durning Giantess's eruption!
05:22 carol b I will be out most of the day also....Car shopping!
05:24 Graham oh, good luck, I hear there are good deals out there. new one? getting the Govt rebate?
05:24 carol b I like to spend the early am in the basin....Gets my day off to a great start.....X-D
05:25 Graham at least we still have one cam you can see
05:25 Graham they have flip-flopped
05:26 carol b Not sure yet, just looking around. I could buy my mother's highlander...good car...but the estate wants to much for it. so looking at others. maybe a mini van. Good for quick trip to the basin.
05:28 Graham easy th just throw stuff in and get there
05:30 carol b just what I thought. Bill and I thought about doing just that last week....
05:30 carol b a fleeting thought, until reality set in....can't do that
05:32 Graham yeah its a long drive for you isn't it
05:33 carol b you have a busy day planned?
05:35 carol b 15 - 17 hours
05:36 carol b we made it home in june in 15 hours
05:37 Graham it would be nice to be no further than SLC
05:38 Graham I am going out to a music festival west of here, near the Blue Ridge. goint to see two operas at Lorrin Mazels estate
05:39 carol b Yep! We were looking at job availability at the VA's in Mt and Wy yesterday....would like to get outta CA
05:39 carol b Sounds like fun!
05:40 Graham I am an opera adict so I will enjoy it
05:44 carol b Got to have something other than geysers!
05:45 Graham especially living this far away. Probably not true if you live in MT or WY
05:49 carol b How long is each opera? I have never been to one
05:53 Graham they are doing two Britten operas, probably 2 1/2 -3 hours
05:54 Graham most are 2 1/2 - 3 1/2, longest are about 5 with intermissions of course. there are one-act short operats but you usually get to see two at a time
05:55 Graham surtitles make it easy to follow along since its translated nowadays
05:56 Graham there are lots of good starter operas around to get you into it if you like some classical music, then there are others that are harder to get into
05:58 Derek-away Is anyone getting the video stream?
05:59 carol b Never really listened to classical music other than as background music
05:59 Derek Hello
05:59 carol b No, I'm not!

14:21 Graham ok, see you later for Beehive :)
14:27 rmaurer CC Whens beehive?
14:28 Graham before dark if we are lucky. It was 0527 this morning
14:30 rmaurer whats the current OF prediction?
14:31 Graham due now, 326pm prediction
14:32 Graham oops, 325 prediction
14:33 CC maybe sometime this evening(Beehive)
14:34 Graham OF 1532
14:34 CC Plume
14:34 Graham Plume 1532
14:34 rmaurer OF 1533
14:34 rmaurer Plume 1533
14:34 CC 15:33 Plume
14:34 rmaurer I cant wait to be there next week
14:35 rmaurer Did lion erupt earlier i saw large splashes and a bunch of people around but no eruption?
14:36 CC have a great time
14:36 Graham a short OF
14:36 rmaurer That was fast perhaps a short interval?
14:37 Graham thats good. how long will you be there?
14:37 Graham yes it was a short duration, so prediction should be just over an hour
14:38 rmaurer Old faithful Prediction - 16:38 MDT close i thought it would be 16:20
14:39 rmaurer 4 days
14:39 rmaurer Lions splashing
14:40 Graham usually predicted over 60min
14:40 Graham looks like Lion may be splashing a bit
14:40 Graham yeah
14:40 Graham watching geysers or other things too?
14:44 rmaurer geysers seeing canyon and mammoth, mostly the upper and lower basins and noris
14:44 rmaurer norris
14:45 Graham ok. Hope you get to see some good eruptions. Have you been there much before?
14:48 rmaurer twice once in 2001 and again in 2003
14:49 rmaurer seen beehive and grand daisy ri verside castle grotto giant and O?F
14:50 Graham thats pretty good
14:50 Graham need to add F&M now?
14:52 rmaurer ya but its hard to be better than giant except for oof course steamboat
14:56 rmaurer is that a sawmill group geyser near center right?
14:57 sparekitty maybe while waiting for steamboat you can see echhinus.
14:57 sparekitty it used to be regular but i don't think it has been for several years now.
14:57 Graham its Sawmill group. steam on the right is Spasmodic
14:58 Graham F&M are not as powerful as Giant but the preliminary activity and excitement with water from all those vents is almost as exciting
14:58 Graham I have not heard much about Echinus, I think its still pretty much dormant
14:59 Graham or at least highly irregular
14:59 rmaurer yeah in 2003 it had 8hr - 16hr intervals
15:00 rmaurer okay so Spasmodic 1559
15:01 sparekitty i visited yellowstone twice per year from 1997 to 2007 and for the first five or six of those years, we saw it just about everytime. not so much the last couple years/visits. ecchinus will always be a favorite of mine though.
15:01 Graham yeah it erupts a lot and is hard to determine when it really starts, so we usially don't record it
15:02 Graham Echinus was the first geyser I saw
15:07 Kent Graham. if you are operating the cam now will you please point it at he Beehive overlook. The one on the west side of the Firehole, not the boardwalk. I relize we will not be able to see the benches.
15:09 Graham you can't really see much at all due to the curve
15:09 Graham Is that where you wanted to look?
15:10 Kent Thanks much!
15:10 sparekitty are we on beehive watch??
15:11 Kent I was just wondering if we could see the crowds assembled there for the eruptions. Obviously not. You did notice that I can't spell?
15:12 sparekitty hey, blame it on the keyboard! that's what i do!
15:12 Kent About 6 PM more or less I think. 13:30 from 0524
15:12 Graham nobody can spell in chat roos, its optional
15:12 Graham ok, yeah it drops off too far to see
15:13 Graham all you can see on this side is the splashing ent that may be Teapot
15:13 Graham vent
15:13 Kent Thanks Grahnam. You are a champ!
15:14 Graham nobody is watching for water, guess theres not been much splashing yet
15:14 Graham looks like we are on Lion watch instead
15:14 Kent I have no idea why I have become obsessed with Beehive lately. It might be gentix :^)
15:15 Kent I think we have a couple of hours. Good thing I don't have Barbara's cell number!
15:16 Kent Back in an hour or so.
15:16 Graham k
15:17 Graham see you later, hopefully Beehive will cooperate
15:19 Graham go SPlit Cone go
15:28 Graham Plume 1627
15:34 rmaurer wats Split Cone?
15:36 Graham it's the cone near OF, near the old VC. It splashes a foot or so but shows up when the cam is pointing down towards Sawmill
15:36 Graham Iwill show you where it is after OF erupts
15:38 Graham OF 1637
15:45 Graham Split Cone is the big cone at the bottom in the foreground, not erupting now
15:46 Jason Firefox one day it will erupt to 300+ feet :D .. or one can dream
15:46 Jason Firefox i had a wierd dream once of moving around geysers so they'd erupt more
15:47 Jason Firefox was damn odd
15:48 Graham haha..would you please move F&M so they are closer to the cabins?
15:50 Jason Firefox Sure... :P
15:52 Jason Firefox how nice, the new harry potter is 98% on rotten tomatoes
15:53 Graham it will still make a few bucks

16:07 Rich Ahoy, matie!
16:08 Rich So I have to wait til 6?
16:08 Jason Firefox http://www.threadless.com/product/844/Spoilt
16:08 Jason Firefox has it but it's sold out
16:08 Jason Firefox probably for the movie
16:08 captbunzo ahoy!
16:09 Jason Firefox is that a castle behind the trees to the left Graham?
16:09 Rich lol
16:09 Jason Firefox ps, sorry if i spoiled the movie for anyone with that shirt heh
16:09 captbunzo haha... unless I want XS...
16:09 captbunzo I could where it on my leg. :)
16:09 Graham wait for what till 6 Rich?
16:10 Graham Castes way left, cam is moving there now
16:10 captbunzo hehe.
16:10 Graham its steaming
16:10 captbunzo they shoulda read the book :)
16:10 Rich The shirt, the movie, Beehive - - - - - -
16:11 Jason Firefox hrm, there was a feature that was behind the trees that was going pretty high
16:11 Graham Castle went earlier today, I forget when tho
16:11 Jason Firefox it's not castle though, way to far over
16:11 Rich I'm just making it thru 4 now.
16:11 Jason Firefox see the steam.. righ tthere.. to the left
16:12 Jason Firefox kinda straight back from the tree near the trail on the left
16:12 Jason Firefox steam keeps popping up
16:12 Rich Castle 12:32 CC
16:14 Graham below the line of trees, thats probably something near Pear...need my map...Round Spring Group maybe?
16:14 Graham If its coming from above the trees, near Daisy, it's Comet
16:15 Jason Firefox those steam puffs are pretty high
16:15 Graham there you see both steam clouds now
16:15 Jason Firefox it's abvoe the trees (behind them)
16:16 Graham its Comet
16:16 Graham maybe a little steam from Splendid and Brilliant Pool thrown in and Daisy splashes
16:16 Rich http://www.americansouthwest.net/wyoming/yellowstone/upper-geyser-basin-map.html
16:16 Jason Firefox maybe it's the angle of the sinter slope
16:16 Graham but Comet rules the steam up there until Daisy erupts
16:17 Jason Firefox comet is pretty darn small, the trees just made it look bigger i guess
16:18 Graham it puts up a lot of steam when it surges though
16:18 Rich ugb map link

16:39 Rich Hi CC

17:11 Victoria so when I am in the Park I can twitter those on my list? wouldn't that be cruel?
17:11 Rich Why not, good advertising, There is a follower for OldFaithful cam already that is advertising.
17:12 Rich ALaurerdale

17:26 Rich Someone at OF/YNP can tweet to us
17:27 captbunzo indeed
17:27 Rich It would be good for the cam ops, then they could get heads ups on what to point at.
17:27 Victoria When Joshua and I were there, Nathan around for a few minutes at the start, but then we were pretty much there by ourselves.
17:27 Rich Hi guest191903
17:28 Graham Plume 1826
17:28 Graham you mean we don't know what to point at already?
17:29 Rich Must be nice to have YNP to your self. g

17:33 Rich Who wants Brownies?
17:34 Rich Loisb is trying to convince her brother to make a batch.
17:34 Victoria i'm trying here, but having to download softwear. Whatever happened to plug and play?

18:04 Rich Why?
18:04 captbunzo hello again....
18:05 captbunzo due to a pecularity with facebook, I've had to create a new version of the fan page... the old will be deleted shortly.
18:05 captbunzo http://www.facebook.com/pages/Yellowstone-National-Park/Old-Faithful-Cam/101126258842

18:05 Graham they were distracted by 2 geysers erupting down-basin
18:05 Rich wb
18:05 captbunzo and the URL is better anyhow....
18:06 captbunzo it's sorta complicated - has to do with updating the status without messing with my personal facebook account.... so I created the new page through a dummy facebook account...
18:06 captbunzo does that make ANY sense? ;)
18:06 Graham F&M 1730 per Lynn
18:07 Graham I just pushed out her posting

18:24 Rich thanks for your hard work.
18:24 Victoria g'nite
18:24 Graham haha Victoria - I expect there will be people watching overnight so you can share time
18:25 Rich rmaurer, it all started with Anne telling about when she was at Madison, guessing when things would go off.
18:25 Graham Plume 1924
18:26 Graham F&M have had 4 1/2 -6 day intervals recently
18:26 Victoria one would hope i wouldn't be out there alone. but if so, i can always entertain myself
18:26 Graham 4 1/2 days from now is very early Saturday
18:26 rmaurer so wats the thing about beehive?
18:26 Graham but it could go earlier....or later
18:26 Graham Beehive has mainly been 10-15 hours
18:27 Graham it likes 12-15 a lot
18:27 Graham or stay in cabin and listem for calls
18:27 Rich ran 13. 5 h for several days
18:27 Rich but since Giantess hasn't settled back down yet.
18:27 Rich No long intervals either
18:28 Graham Beehive is way too frequent these days. People actually expect to see it. It needs to get back to being unpredictable :)
18:28 Rich The Loons?
18:28 rmaurer so basically a 13.5 hr predicvtion with 1.5hr variation?
18:28 Rich Several of the gazers here are at work so are intersted in when to come back and view.
18:29 rmaurer lol i want to see it soooo bad when i go back
18:29 Rich since Giantess it has been swinging up to 15 hours.
18:29 Graham if it behaves ...... but its a geyser
18:29 Rich down to around 10
18:29 Graham just talk to the people on the boardwalk, they can fill you in
18:30 Rich OF has been having several cycles of short intervals back to back.
18:30 Graham or less
18:30 Rich Yesterday and today there were 2 b 2 bs
18:32 Rich I use the psychic method of prediction.
18:33 rmaurer ok plus i can find the last eruption at the logs
18:33 Rich I smell brownies. ymmmm
18:33 Graham well they were short-long-short, not short - short
18:34 Rich During day light hours.
18:36 Rich Brownies are done, hot out of the oven.
18:36 Rich First come first serve.
18:37 Rich Pump ie 19:35:52 wc
18:37 Graham me first!

18:39 Rich Last flight out of National was at 5:30
18:39 Rich you missed it.
18:39 Graham nice description of F&M in the email, like Kitt telling them not to get excited about going to Beehive when F&M looked good.
18:39 Rich Takes me 20 minutes to get to SEA TAC
18:40 Graham haha I have been on that flight after work a few times for winter or long weekend summer trips
18:41 Graham 20 min from work to Airport, then out to Minneapolis or SLC
18:41 Graham into BZN. Stay overnight there and then drive down at 4am
18:42 Graham not going to happen this weekend tho

18:46 Rich hehe
18:47 rmaurer My prediction for bbehive is 7:09 mst =/- 1.5 hr
18:47 Graham just not there yet
18:47 rmaurer i know
18:47 Rich 06:25
18:47 rmaurer its been like this for hours
18:47 Rich won't happen
18:48 rmaurer its funny when beehive splashes and a large crowd gathers for hours and nothing happens
18:48 Rich +/- 20m
18:48 rmaurer Grand?
18:48 Graham not sure if that was Turban or Oblong
18:49 rmaurer beehive 06:25 +/- 20 mins?
18:49 Graham thanks RIch
18:49 Graham not Grand yet
18:50 rmaurer maybe oblong i thought that grand was more to the left by the end of the closer trees
18:50 rmaurer no
18:50 Graham how about the disclaimer Rich?
18:50 Rich yep
18:51 Graham Turban is in the same area but the strong wind makes it hard to tell
18:51 Rich could be tomorrow or the next day or what ever time zone you are in. But since it was Graham could be EDT
18:51 rmaurer beehives prediction is 0625 am +/- 20 mins? Rich?
18:52 Rich I never know what time zone or what day.
18:52 Rich Just the time.
18:52 rmaurer okay im in est
18:53 Graham did you get that rmaurer?
18:53 rmaurer so it be *:25am +/- 20 mins for Beehive?
18:53 rmaurer 8:25 am
18:53 rmaurer its that regular
18:53 Graham you should make it +- 30 min RIch, just to be sure
18:54 Rich or not
18:54 rmaurer is the 0625am Beehive prediction est or mst or cst
18:55 Rich 20 has been working nicely
18:55 Rich Brownies just melt in your mouth.
18:55 Graham Last week its range was 11:04-14:24
18:56 Graham this week it has has a 9h55min interval
18:56 Rich yes
18:56 rmaurer is the 0625 am beehive prediction for MST?
18:56 Graham last month its range was 11:04-23:15
18:57 Victoria Rich, you are evil! have you ever had them with marshmellow cream on them? best heart attack packaging in the world!
18:57 Graham so we hope it will heep in the 11-14 hour range but theres no guarantee
18:57 Rich mdt
18:57 Rich No, but like the way you think.
18:58 Rich With hot fudge topping.
18:58 Graham if it has an 11-15 hour interval, it will go 0-------- tomorrow MDT
18:58 Rich Start viewing at 10.5 h and join the Beehive watch group.
18:59 Graham but it could easily erupt outside that window
18:59 Graham End of my Beehive interval disertation.
18:59 rmaurer okay so start watching at 4:00 am MST
19:00 Rich or 32 hours
19:00 rmaurer whens sunrise?
19:00 Rich as your time allows.
19:01 Graham when its still dark :)
19:02 Rich No weather for Yellowstone since July 8th/Loisb
19:02 Graham Civil twilight = visible light = 0512
19:03 Graham Sunrise is 0548
19:03 Rich Definitely dark at this end of the world.
19:04 Rich http://www.gaisma.com/en/location/yellowstone-national-park-wyoming.html
19:04 Graham moon is fairly full and will be out if its clear
19:04 Rich Going to be winter soon.
19:05 Dave M The still cam will be visible at about 0450 with the streaming cam a few minutes later
19:05 Graham looks like Turban again 2004
19:05 Rich And if you are lucky someone might be out there taking flash photos.
19:05 Graham when do the roads close?
19:06 rmaurer ok
19:06 rmaurer grands due any minute same with daisy
19:06 Graham thanks Dave
19:06 Graham I bet Pat will be watching then
19:07 Rich Has anyone seen stats on OF and the short intervals lately?
19:07 Graham well sometime in the next couple of hours anyway for Grand
19:07 Graham its predicted from 1--------
19:08 Graham last week 105 long, 5 short
19:08 Graham last 2 days we have had at least 4 short

19:10 Graham wind eased up now tho
19:12 Rich k
19:12 Rich everbody wave
19:13 rmaurer Sawmill 2011?
19:14 Graham yep
19:14 Rich Clouds are lining up for a possible sunset
19:15 Graham not sure when it started but it was ie at 2011
19:20 Graham Plume 2019
19:20 Rich July logs are posted to the June 30th log http://chatlogs.meebo.com/room/oldfaithfulchat/logs/2009/06/30/page4/
19:20 Rich for this chatroom.
19:20 rmaurer plume 2018
19:21 Graham yeah thanks for pointing that out, I usually look back at them when I get home
19:21 Rich The VC clock needs updating.
19:22 Rich With the new visitors, just want to update occasionally.
19:22 Graham the static time looks like its a bit slow
19:23 rmaurer Teapot 2020
19:23 rmaurer Smaal one very close to cam
19:24 Graham no, that's SPlit Cone on the cam now
19:24 Rich about 1.5 m
19:24 Graham still not clear where Teapot is, believe its in line with Beehive but nobody knows
19:25 rmaurer Oh i thought it was called teapot
19:26 Graham Looks like Turban again 2025
19:26 Rich Derek positioned Teapot to the left of OF and on the backslope from the cams.
19:26 rmaurer oh ihave the book GEYSERS OF YELLOWSTONE 3rd EDITION
19:26 Graham I made the same mistake too but was corrected
19:26 rmaurer I thought that was teapot
19:27 Rich ok
19:27 Rich Plume ie 20:25:28 wc
19:27 Graham 4th edition shows Split Cone
19:29 Graham ? it was 2018
19:29 Graham an afterburst maybe..... haha
19:29 Graham oops, 2019 I meant
19:29 Graham or a 20 burst eruption that lasted that log?
19:29 rmaurer oh when did the 4thn edition come out?
19:30 Graham last summer I think
19:31 Graham it had a fair number of updates with quite a few added geysers that were missing before
19:34 rmaurer maybe ill buy it at yellowstone and stamp it with the national park stamps there nice souvenier
19:36 Graham yep, that would be nice
19:39 Rich We have moved to page 5 in the OF chatroom log.
19:41 Graham yeah a lot of chatting today, guess thathappens when theres a late Beehive
19:42 Rich Or I get really chatty.
19:42 Rich g
19:43 rmaurer is that plate
19:43 rmaurer above of
19:44 Graham no
19:45 Graham its a large spring on geyser hill. not sure what it is called
19:46 rmaurer wat is it?
19:46 rmaurer boardwalk
19:46 Graham Plate is closer to Sponge which is the cone to the left of the top boardwalk
19:46 rmaurer abrupt
19:46 Graham Plate puts out a lot more steam
19:47 Graham just a spring I think. Boardwalk is quite big and dormant
19:47 Graham so I guess its really small now :)
19:47 Rich I believe it was Pump
19:47 Graham Boardwalk would be further to the right but I don't think we have seen it on the cam yet
19:47 Rich to the right?
19:48 Graham you don't know where the cam is pointing :)
19:49 rmaurer no almost directly above slightly left its stoppeed now
19:49 rmaurer OF?
19:50 Rich The nanobots are back in the static cam.
19:50 Rich I see them staring at me.
19:51 Graham just splashing
19:51 Rich what ever it was the one I saw is back.
19:51 Rich and now it is gone
19:52 Graham There are a couple of small spouters in the flats
19:52 Graham hard to figure out which thing they are - even watching from Geyser Hill
19:53 Graham but Plate and Boardwalk are significantly larger
19:53 rmaurer yeah
19:58 Graham last OF was 5min + so that's probably why OF is going longer now
20:00 Rich Lion ie 20:58:54 wc
20:01 Dave M Lion
20:02 rmaurer Nice sunset
20:03 Graham yep. hope the wind eases up for the folks there tomorrow

11:05 rmaurer sry mine was 1336
11:06 rmaurer cool
11:06 rmaurer when i did my prediction for a junior ranger it was right on the money, 5 mins after VC
11:07 Rich pesky fingers, never hit the keys we want.
11:07 Rich Everyone wave
11:08 Rich The other thing that happens to the static cam is that sometimes when VC does a prediction the static cam freezes up for anywhere from 3 minutes to a day.
11:09 Rich The RR walking tour/talks are listed in the YNP Summer pamplet.
11:24 rmaurer Beehive watch is from 18:30 to 21:30 MST tonight

15:18 Graham hello
15:23 Graham you there CC?
15:26 Graham guess I will grab the cam....
15:28 Graham Daisy 1628
15:34 CC hi
15:35 CC thanks for taking the cam
15:35 CC I got a phone call
15:35 Graham Grand 1635
15:36 Graham nice start there
15:36 Graham looked like you had left the cam
15:36 Graham did you see Beehive this morning?
15:47 Graham 1 burst
15:52 Graham nice Beehive splashes
16:45 Graham OF 1744
16:58 rmaurer any beehive activity since this morning
17:03 Graham its been splashing
17:06 rmaurer based on this mornings eruption my prediction to watch beehive from 1---------- mst
17:07 Graham ok.....conveniently before dark :)
17:10 rmaurer ya is daisy starting soon?
17:12 Graham ptobably 1840 prediction
17:12 Graham lot of ants at Beehive
17:15 rmaurer lots of people hoping eh?
17:16 Graham looks like it. Grand has already erupted, so they are lost
17:19 rmaurer Little Cub in the background
17:19 rmaurer Nice little geyser
17:19 rmaurer I wonder if they know were here talking (typing) about them X-D
17:20 Graham yep. Looks neat with the steam trailing out
17:21 Graham looks like we lost most of them
17:23 rmaurer AH we scared them away lol
17:28 rmaurer Sawmil ie 1825
17:29 Graham looks like theres a front coming in
17:32 Graham looks like this weekends forecast is good Victoria
17:36 Victoria Hi all. just thought to check weather when you noticed front Graham. There is a small cell around West right now. Has been VERY windy all day. Forecast this weekend: hot and clear. I like YNP version of hot!
17:38 Graham yeah, in the 70's ... oohh thats way too hot!
17:38 Victoria Gusting this morning in Red Lodge and along the eastern front of the Absaroka's. Winds were out of the north however, rather than the norm of West/southwest.
17:38 Victoria X-D
17:38 Graham nice sunny F&M on Saturday
17:39 Victoria I am mostly hoping for no lightening!
17:40 Graham and an F&M eruption
17:42 Victoria well....that TOO.
17:43 Victoria Huge lightening storm as leaving Sunday. With rain probably less chance of burns, but we are getting to the point in the year where any lightening will be cause for concern. Lots of undergrowth everywhere with our wet spring too.
17:44 Graham so which vent do you want to start the eruption? UM, MV, EV, or maybe a Lower Mortar Minor start?
17:45 Graham yeah we don't want fires and all the smoke. I remember a few years ago when it was so smokey
17:45 Graham Daisy 1844
17:45 Victoria Main Vent would be my choice if I had to make one, but I am not that picky. Well... about geysers anyway!
17:47 Graham an any vent start is good as long as you are there before they start up
17:47 Graham I saw one LMM start but theres not enough warning for everyone to get down. Good job it hasn't done them for years
17:49 Graham Castle 1848ie H2O
17:50 Victoria Assuming the timing is good, I plan to sit. Just sit. From Friday evening until I have to leave the UGB around 4:30 Saturday if that is what it takes. Will take reading to get me through a long spell, plus water.
17:52 Victoria and yes, I WILL take a camera and post on FB if I get lucky.
17:52 Graham wow, no food?
17:53 rmaurer Any Beehive activity yet?
17:53 Victoria Probably very little. My 15 yo makes a mean lemonaid, and that will likely be my main sustenance.
17:54 Graham good job withthe cam too, make sure you can keep it dry as well
17:54 Victoria Not in to attracting creatures out there!
17:54 Graham its still splashing
17:54 Graham no...you need some gayser grazing supplies
17:55 Graham well you can swat the gayser gazers and they will usually stop trying to steal food
17:56 Graham so you have the flashlight, comfy chair, waterproofs, oh, hopefully sunscreen
17:56 Victoria When just sitting, don't burn too many calories! Will probably have a bag of trail mix or something, but planning on dinner with friends both friday and saturday, so will have plenty to eat on both ends of my sit!
17:58 Victoria all set! and books! oh yes, and an umbrella.
17:58 Graham unless theres an event cycle at dinner time....
17:58 Graham loks like the rain is coming
17:59 Graham and the Transactions article to read about all the historical activity
17:59 Victoria arrrggghhh! my worst nightmare!
18:00 Victoria early dinner Friday, late dinner Saturday. With my luck though, you have probably predicted it!
18:00 Victoria If Saturday, my dinner date BETTER understand!
18:02 Graham I only got as far as the Bear Den before dinner one night, missed dinner for a non-eruptive hot period
18:02 Graham got dinner the next night tho when Grotto marathoned
18:03 Graham Castle is having a Major
18:04 rmaurer Got that right
18:04 Victoria so maybe I should make sure someone in the group I am meeting at Mammoth has cell signal! I do everywhere in the UGB (will be watching here while sitting THERE!).
18:04 rmaurer anything with beehive?
18:04 Graham Plume 1902
18:05 Graham I probably missed it
18:06 Graham Mammoth is a long drive too
18:07 Graham Beehive looks quieter
18:07 Victoria Yes, but for an FM, I would even stay over another night if I could arrange care for my dogs. Dinner comes in a distant second.
18:08 Graham well theres time to get food after an event cycle

10:02 Rich I know you have a life. g
10:03 Rich hi captbunzo
10:05 captbunzo hi... trying to sort out the meebo problems!
10:07 Rich The log is probably Meebos
10:12 Kent We have a roving cam? Neat!
10:12 captbunzo ok.
10:13 sparekitty ok, so fill me in, pleas. i'd love to be able to hear the ranger (on the screen) speaking...what's going on?
10:14 captbunzo he's talking about the naughty tourist that just fell into old faithful's cone.
10:14 captbunzo :)
10:15 captbunzo test
10:16 captbunzo ooo... no 40 second delay in this room.
10:16 captbunzo in short, follks, meebo seemed to have some sorta bug with the other room.
10:16 captbunzo so I've created a new meebo room and all seems to be working fine now.
10:16 Derek ok
10:17 captbunzo for now, the logs are linked to this new room... you can get to the older logs via a link that I'll add up there in a moment.
10:17 Kent Chat Log works too
10:17 sparekitty thanks for all your hard work on this! i really appreciate it!
10:17 Derek I'm watching the cam experiment
10:18 Rich Loaded, with large static cam image
10:19 Derek Test
10:20 Rich Hi Kent
10:20 Derek Tom Cawley is controlling the cam from the VC
10:21 Rich Funny looks the same to me.
10:21 captbunzo I'm going to harass the meebo people about the whole problem some more.
10:21 captbunzo I think I'll see if I can get them to copy our old logs to the new room.
10:21 captbunzo that might be the simplest solution.
10:21 Derek ok
10:21 captbunzo (if I can get them to do it!!)
10:21 captbunzo you want to man that request, derek?
10:21 Derek So we wont need my room anymore :-)
10:22 captbunzo never mind - I'll post it now ;)
10:22 captbunzo and hopefully not.
10:22 Derek Well it served it's purpose
10:22 captbunzo but since I did create a new room for this (for the pretty name ;) ) .... you should keep your room there for backup.
10:22 captbunzo in case THIS ONE flips out.
10:23 Rich Unless you re embed the code for this room the old DB room won't have anything in it.
10:23 Derek I have another request but I'll PM it to you
10:26 captbunzo what do you mean, derek?
10:27 captbunzo btw, all my sneaky friends.
10:27 captbunzo you can still load this page with the "old room" using the link:
http://yellowstone.paulthompson.net/camchat/index.…
10:29 Derek Beehive on the static cam
10:29 captbunzo or with derek's room using :
http://yellowstone.paulthompson.net/camchat/index.…
10:29 captbunzo and actually the old would be
http://yellowstone.paulthompson.net/camchat/index.…
10:30 Derek I am using http://yellowstone.paulthompson.net/camchat/
10:30 Rich When?
10:32 Rich Static cam isn't refreshing.
10:32 Rich And it refreshed.
10:33 Jason Firefox howdy
10:35 captbunzo it's refreshing for me!
10:35 Rich Might mention to Meebo that the usernames aren't appearing in the log files
10:35 kentishman Im in
10:36 captbunzo grr.... actually, it's showing the same image over and over again.
10:36 Rich hi double Derek
10:36 captbunzo well, it was working!
10:36 Rich gee
10:37 kentishman Great
10:40 captbunzo cool. it's now refreshing for me fine.
10:40 captbunzo must have been a blip :)
10:42 captbunzo anyhow folks, I gotta run now! I hope this works better for you all now!!!

15:17 Rich We lived in Aurora in the early 50's
15:18 Graham thats where my sister is now Rich
15:18 captbunzo ah... I lived in aurora from birth to age 7/8 or so.
15:18 Rich I had surgery on my leg at Childrens Hosptal in Denver when I was 2.
15:18 captbunzo you remember the cherry creek resevoir?
15:19 captbunzo I was born in St Joseph's Hospital, Denver.
15:19 Rich We moved when I was 3.
15:19 captbunzo living in Denver early is the source of my yellowstone enthusiasm as my dad would take us once a year.
15:19 captbunzo so I went about 8 times as a child, then 3 as an adult....
15:19 captbunzo it's been too long though! 3 years!!!
15:19 Rich Must be something in the water, Loisb says.
15:20 captbunzo hehe
15:20 Rich She started school in Aurora
15:20 captbunzo colorado is lovely.

15:20 captbunzo ah.....
15:20 Graham I am in Virginia, near DC
15:21 captbunzo cool.
15:21 captbunzo that's funny.....
15:21 Rich Where we lived is a parking lot for a strip mall now.
15:21 captbunzo if the UK job I am attempting to acquire doesn't come through, then I will be looking back in the USA - primarily near San Francisco and DC...
15:21 captbunzo :)
15:21 Rich We use to skinny dip in the irrigation canal in the front yard.
15:22 captbunzo that's a great story :)
15:22 Rich g
15:22 Rich lol
15:22 Graham what took you to UK?
15:22 captbunzo a misguided sense of adventure
15:22 captbunzo :)
15:22 captbunzo we wanted to experience a new culture and see something different.
15:23 captbunzo we love it hear!
15:23 captbunzo except YNP is too far away!!
15:23 Rich only if you walk.
15:23 Graham yeah europe is a whole lot different than US
15:23 captbunzo yep.
15:23 Graham but DC is far from YNP too
15:23 captbunzo britain is just wierd....
15:23 captbunzo true!
15:24 captbunzo San Francisco then!
15:24 Graham slc
15:24 Rich Talk about weird????
15:24 captbunzo slc?
15:24 captbunzo well, wierd as in the culture.
15:24 Rich salt lake city
15:24 captbunzo they are polite - so strange...
15:24 captbunzo slc isn't the best from a job perspective.
15:24 captbunzo would be looking for an IT job in Data Warehousing..
15:25 captbunzo particularly with a tool called Ab Initio, if you've ever heard of it.
15:27 Rich Only 3,280,000 hits on google
15:27 Graham nope but thats not surprising
15:27 Graham 3.280,000 things I don't need to know :)
15:27 captbunzo hehe
15:27 Rich lol
15:27 Rich Sounds like something the US patent office could use.
15:28 captbunzo it's a pretty niche tool, but a good one to be involved with.
15:28 captbunzo it's very very expensive.
15:28 captbunzo about a half million dollars just to start off with the tool.
15:28 Graham that's why I don't know it :)
15:28 captbunzo so usually a big business kinda thing

17:05 Rich Micky D's fry oil?
17:05 carol b mikey D's is yucky oil. overprocessed
17:06 Loisb they don' t change it often enough
17:06 Rich (quickly takes notes for when he makes his own.)
17:06 carol b yep

17:10 carol b Thats what the manager told me. Hummmm maybe he not telling me the truth.:) Getting companys to give you their oil is becoming a cut-throat operation.

July 16th, 2009 View July’s Logs

05:05 Victoria good morning Carol B. Missed everything yesterday. Happy to be back.
05:05 carol b morning Victoria
05:06 carol b I had to work most of yesterday also. Didn't get much viewing in. Look at the geyser fog that is creeping in
05:07 Victoria hadn't noticed. Thanks! last of the cool air holding the steam in?
05:07 Victoria Predicted hot after today.
05:08 carol b Yep! We have the heat down here. Over 100 yesterday....YUCK!
05:08 Victoria I was just checking email. nothing on yesterday yet. anything exciting that you heard?
05:09 Victoria too old to enjoy anything over 80 degrees. hope you have central air?
05:09 carol b Not much other than Capt Bonzo got this page debugged.
05:09 Victoria good on debugging. it has been somewhat of a 'bugger' the last little while.
05:09 Victoria checked first thing yesterday before heading out and camera was off.
05:09 carol b We have an air conditioner that works good. House is small. Nice
05:09 carol b Hi CC
05:10 CC Hi Carol
05:10 Victoria hi CC
05:10 CC Hi Victoria
05:10 carol b No Beehive as of late lastnite
05:10 Victoria we were just talking about the heat.
05:10 CC New England has been exceptionally cool this year
05:10 carol b I don't do well in the heat....Get grumby
05:10 Victoria hmm. interesting. can't say as how I have ever been 'here' when we weren't outnumbered by men!
05:11 Victoria we have had a somewhat cooler summer here in MT, but that is working to change after today. 90's predicted for Billings over weekend, with little chance of precip.
05:12 Victoria I am mostly grumpy all the time!
05:12 CC anybody see if there were any gazers by beehive this morning
05:12 Victoria not since I first checked cam about 40 minutes ago. haven't sat here the whole time though.
05:13 carol b CC You all in NE had all that rain early in the spring. Bet its nice now. No gazers on beehive this am. I've been on since 5:45
05:14 CC OF 6:14 IE
05:16 carol b CC, I have phone interview today between 4 and 4:30X-D
05:16 CC excellent
05:16 CC I thought it was Friday
05:16 Victoria is that Anemone too?
05:16 carol b today worked better for him
05:16 CC aah
05:17 carol b I'm thrilled
05:17 carol b Victoria. you headed to the Park this weekend?
05:18 CC it's a free weekend ...no park fees
05:18 Victoria Yes.:) Hoping to get out of office Friday afternoon. My assistant was yelling at me yesterday to get out early!
05:18 carol b really
05:18 Victoria have pass so free weekends or not I can go.
05:18 CC this is the second weekend with no fees and there is one more in September
05:19 Victoria Free weekends usually just means I have time arrival so as not to be at entrance when there is a mile long wait!
05:19 carol b Do you stay in the Park? Thats great to help with those who have more freetime. (furloughs) and not enough $
05:20 Victoria Haven't made arrangements for this weekend. Planning to park my behind at F&M. If I need to bunk, might go north to MA's.
05:21 CC I didn't know you knew MA
05:21 carol b How nice!
05:22 Victoria almost 30 years! she is why I have become interested in YNP. She can be such a pest, and I love her anyway!
05:22 carol b X-D
05:22 CC Bty, then did I meet you this past summer
05:22 Victoria Mem day, 2008 I think we met!
05:22 CC I think so...we might have been at Lower Hams
05:23 CC Now I remember!!
05:23 Victoria I met so many of her friends that weekend it was amazing. Had heard about everyone of years.
05:23 carol b Were you in the park this mem. day?
05:23 Victoria decades?
05:24 Victoria No. Missed this one. :( Don't plan to miss anymore Mem days. Too good a time to miss.
05:24 CC She is so knowledgeable...I love to hike with her...
05:24 Victoria hiking with her is more than my body can handle. She SO loves that deadfall!
05:24 CC No question about that
05:25 CC and Roads untravelled
05:25 Victoria haaahaaahaaa!
05:25 carol b Part of why we enjoy the park soooo much also has todo with the folks we meet! Always a great bunch of people.
05:25 Victoria but can't we all spot a road better these days because of her?!?!
05:25 CC Victoria we will be in the Park over Memorial day next year
05:25 carol b Us also!
05:26 Victoria Plan on seeing each other!
05:26 CC we go every year around that time
05:26 carol b Absolutly
05:26 CC I am not sure about this September...will be last minute if we do go
05:26 carol b We are going for 3 weeks again next year
05:27 carol b Do you have reservations for the fall CC
05:27 Victoria three weeks sounds like heaven.
05:27 CC no
05:27 CC will make at the last minute
05:28 carol b It is! But its sooo hard to leave. I cryed all the way through Idaho. :'D
05:28 carol b silly me! We had a great time
05:28 Victoria press reports are that visitor numbers are good, but have to say that when I have been in it didn't seem so crowded. Road closure will affect us all this fall.
05:28 CC that is why we may not go
05:28 Victoria happy/sad for me when I leave. even after just a day.
05:29 CC this past Memorial weekend the roads were terrible
05:29 CC to many tourons!!
05:29 Victoria make Lake your base camp. September is good to be in Hayden and Lamar too with all the creature activity.
05:30 Victoria I think road activity will cut down on two-legged creatures at the basins.
05:30 carol b Have you all read the book Lake of Fire about the Lake Area. Historical Fiction?
05:30 Victoria not here.
05:30 Victoria author?
05:30 carol b Linda Jacobs
05:31 Victoria looking for something to read if I stay overnight at F&M!
05:31 CC Here is a Heads up
05:32 CC Monday at 11:00 AM MDT and 2:00 PM MDT the cam will be showing a video (Live) from a remote location in the basin
05:32 carol b Interesting....timeline in early 1900's. She's a bit wordy, but the story line and Park stuff is fun to read
05:32 carol b I bought it at the Lake Lodge gift store
05:32 CC It is a rehersal for the Videos which should be shown a Tuesday and Thursdays
05:32 Victoria will check out book.
05:33 Victoria Monday: I will be in court. In Forsyth. VERY eastern montana remote. :'(
05:34 carol b Thanks CC. I'll watch
05:34 carol b How far is Anaconda Mt from the Park?
05:34 CC well, the live videos will be on Tuesday and Thursdays through August 20th I believe
05:35 Victoria Anaconda is about 25 miles west of Butte. From Anaconda best entrance would be West. Maybe 150? Not really sure.
05:36 CC They will be posting the information on the NP web site soon
05:37 carol b They have a VA there and Bill was looking at a open position....possible transfer!?!
05:37 Victoria mapquest says 186, but that is going through Bozeman. Shorter to head through Virginia City.
05:37 carol b Lots of VERY affordable land/housing
05:38 Victoria Anaconda is an old mining town. In the Mountains.
05:38 CC anything campared to California property is reasonable
05:38 Victoria NOT a community for people who like cities. Good if you like outdoor activities.
05:38 carol b We live in Ol Hangtown CA. LOL you are right about that
05:39 carol b Gold Discovery site here in CA
05:39 Victoria 30 minutes to Butte. An hour to Missoula.
05:40 carol b Yep we considering it. Time to get outta CA soon!
05:40 carol b Interesting they have a Veterans Admin. their
05:41 Victoria Be prepared for cold and long winters! Not unusual for Butte to have hard frosts well into June!
05:41 Victoria Think their growing season is about 90 days!
05:41 carol b yicks
05:41 Victoria My folks all from Butte so I keep an eye on doings there.
05:42 Victoria a lot of my clients also wind up at state mental hospital which is just up the road from Anaconda!
05:42 Victoria i lead an exciting life...
05:43 carol b You must
05:43 Victoria just tell Bill that the cost of moving there will include at least a greenhouse with lots of artificial light and heat!
05:44 carol b Ahhh.
05:50 carol b That explains the housing prices. A 3 bedroom house on 5 acres for 25 K!
05:52 carol b Hi Derek
05:53 Victoria hi Derek
05:53 Derek Hi Carol
05:53 CC hi Derek
05:54 Derek I'm not officially here yet, still have dishes to wash :-)

05:55 Victoria my dogs would watch EVERY move you made!
05:55 Derek Don't have dogs here, Just 2 Budgies.
05:56 Victoria do they sing to you while you work?
05:57 Derek Budgies don't sing. They just squark and warble.
05:57 Victoria warble doesn't equal singing? I am tone deaf so wouldn't know!
05:58 Derek According to the geo topo maps those features this side of the river is Teapots location
05:59 Derek Watch CC showing off her new presets :-)
06:00 CC be nice
06:00 Derek :P
06:00 carol b you have new controls?
06:00 CC yes
06:00 carol b Cool
06:00 CC I asked that change the presets
06:01 CC it was done yesterday

06:57 Rich I was looking to see if I got any geyserlist msgs, doesn't look like anything from yesterday.
06:58 Victoria I totally missed yesterday and so have no idea what BH schedule looks like. I haven't gotten any reports on yesterday in my email either.
07:00 Rich captbunzo switched this room yesterday, so the link to the current log is at the top of this page, click on today, then you can click back to yesterday.
07:00 Rich BH yesterday was 11:26 mdt, so would have made a very late evening/early morning next.
07:00 Victoria see it. Thanks Rich.
07:01 Rich If you have the chat log bookmarked be sure and update it.
07:01 Derek-cam Hi Rich and Victoria
07:02 Derek-cam I'm on the cam now for 3.5 hours
07:03 Rich Hi Derek
07:05 Victoria Hi Derek. wasn't ignoring you. just my clients expect me to work. imagine...
07:05 Derek-cam Humm
07:06 Derek-cam The cheek of them
07:09 Victoria sunny day here in the Rocky Mountain west. Looks nice in the UGB.
07:10 Victoria 43 degrees there at 0800
07:10 Derek-cam F or C?
07:11 Victoria f
07:13 Derek-cam 80 outside here
07:13 Rich Haven't check outside here, but we have clear skies and sunshine. Going to be a great day here in Seattle.
07:13 Rich Hi guest102995
07:14 Victoria ick. Hi predicted for OF today is around 70!
07:14 Rich Plume ie 08:12:57 wc
07:39 rmaurer When was last BH eruption i heard early morning
07:39 rmaurer And what are the current predictions for the big geysers?
07:41 rmaurer Grand???
07:42 Derek-cam Nope
07:42 Derek-cam Just looking
07:46 Rich If Beehive went on any kind of reasonable interval, I figure watch starting about 12:30 mdt
07:47 Victoria rich,does that mean i will be glued to my computer when I should be taking a lunch break?
07:47 Victoria what the heck. should go without a few meals anyway...
07:47 Rich with out knowing when the over night was, probably.
07:48 Rich The Geyser Gazer's Diet.
07:48 Rich Send out for lunch. g
07:48 Victoria brownies? wanna deliver?
07:48 Rich Sure
07:48 Rich But down to the last 3, so don't think any of them will make it that far.
07:49 Rich Like a bag of fries coming home.
07:49 Victoria mmm. fries.
07:50 Rich I'm bad!
07:52 Derek-cam Anyone, is that Groto on the right?
07:52 Rich The right of what?
07:53 Rich Pump ie 08:51:02 wc
07:53 Derek-cam In your case Rich, on the left :-)
07:54 rmaurer Daisy predicted 1050
07:54 Rich Behind the treeline
07:54 rmaurer Castle predicted 1215
07:54 Derek-cam Pump goes every few minutes
07:54 rmaurer Grand PRedicted 1415
07:54 Rich yes
07:54 rmaurer OF predicted 0917
07:55 Derek-cam Thats what it says on the static cam
07:55 Rich so add a couple of minues
07:56 Rich And I think the one you asked about Derek is also Grotto
07:56 rmaurer Lots of steam
07:56 Derek-cam The only one behind those trees that I'm always sure of is Grand
07:56 rmaurer Grand is at the far left of the trees
07:57 Rich I can usually hit Riverside and Excelsior.
07:57 Derek-cam And the only one you can see water
07:57 rmaurer Excelsior?
07:58 Derek-cam Dome
07:58 rmaurer Dang i got to get GOY 4th Edition
07:58 rmaurer Ill get t at OF
07:58 Rich just to the left of static cam center behind the treeline.
07:59 Derek-cam I also recomend the Gosa CD of maps
07:59 Rich and to the right of Lion in the static cam.
07:59 Derek-cam The Geo-Topo of UGB is brilliant
08:00 Rich Solitary is steaming to the far right of static cam now.
08:01 Derek-cam The one on the right of the live cam is Riverside, I think
08:02 Victoria because depth perception on livecam is so hard to tell, we need some maps!
08:02 Victoria of course, my depth perception is off live too.
08:02 Derek-cam Like I said, the Gosa maps are good
08:03 Rich  
http://www.americansouthwest.net/wyoming/yellowsto…
08:03 Victoria they are good.
08:06 Rich In lieu of the Gosa cd maps
08:07 Rich I usually place Riverside further to the right, on the static cam there are 2 tall tree tops that it usually is between.
08:08 Victoria Rich - thanks for link. Will send to my 15 yo and tell him there WILL be a test! mean mommy.
08:08 Rich go mommy dearest!
08:10 Rich If you download that map, open in Photoshop or the like then you can draw in the field of view lines.
08:10 Rich Helps get you orientated.
08:12 Victoria earlier the location of Teapot discussed. When I looked in TSB, his map shows closer to OF than what I figured cam view towards BH would show. Is that just a perspective thing again?
08:12 Victoria Derek: drawing lines as we speak! I seem to do that on all my UGB maps!
08:13 Rich I figure I'll have to go sit on the static cam when I go to UGB next, so I can know where I am.
08:14 Derek-cam Scott Bryan says in his book that Teapot is ABOUT 150 feet northwest of Old Faithful
08:14 Derek-cam Measuring that feature with Google earth it is 125 feet, which is near enough
08:15 Victoria When I look at maps and webcam, I thought what we see 'this side' of river is Chinaman Spring.
08:16 Derek-cam Chinaman spring is down the bank behind OF, so the cam can't see it.
08:16 Victoria gotcha. Rich: save space for me under that cam!
08:16 Rich lol
08:16 Rich CAn I stand on your shoulders to the elevation is closer?
08:16 Rich Wait, make that you can stand on mine. g
08:19 Victoria take turns?
08:19 Victoria I could bring a ladder?
08:20 Rich  
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SH1L68iyEx8
08:20 Rich Dave M's Giantess vid.
08:20 Rich Good then I'll bring the windex and we can clean the static cam.
08:21 Rich OF ie 09:20:07 wc
08:21 Rich Hi Captain
08:21 Victoria LoisB will be thrilled!
08:21 Captain Hey
08:21 Captain How is everyone doing today
?
08:21 Rich yes she would be.
08:22 Derek-cam Are you a real Captain? :-)
08:22 Captain real at what?
08:22 Rich I think we are trying to figure out how to do depth of field on a 2d image.
08:23 Rich Life?
08:23 Victoria THAT wud be the issue!
08:23 Derek-cam A real captain of a ship or something
08:23 Victoria Hi Captain.
08:23 Captain Very real, and noooo Drama here.
08:23 Captain Oshkosh Wisconsin
08:23 Rich cool

08:24 Rich Hi sparekitty
08:24 Derek-cam Hi Kitty
08:24 sparekitty anybody know beehive's status?
08:25 Rich not erupting.
08:25 Captain sorry, Dont know beehive
08:25 sparekitty thanks, rich!
08:25 sparekitty hard to type in a sarcastic tone...
08:25 Derek-cam Only a gambler would try to predict BH :-)
08:25 sparekitty except CC
08:25 Captain wait, what
08:25 Derek-cam BH loves CC
08:25 Captain what is beehive?
08:26 sparekitty a very cool geyser, just to the left (in the picture) of Old Faithful
08:26 Rich Beehive is a geyser at Upper Geyser Basin
08:26 Captain Oh,, ok
08:26 Rich Did you come to the room thru Meebo?
08:26 Captain yes
08:27 Rich Ok
08:27 sparekitty beehive is just in the middle of the screen, doing nothign
08:27 Rich omp, I'll pass you the link to what we are watching.
08:27 Captain is there a cam site other then meebo?
08:27 Captain thank you
08:28 Jason Firefox top of the morning folks :)
08:28 Derek-cam Hi Jason
08:28 sparekitty hey jason
08:28 Jason Firefox Good morning Senior Derek and Sparekity
08:28 Derek-cam Just going for my afternoon cup of tea
08:28 Rich Hi Jason
08:29 Jason Firefox Hi Rich, and enjoy your tea derek. I just started my morning coffee
08:30 Rich oops, Captian is gone
08:35 Victoria back to 2D discussion. So what we need is someone out there with a surveyer's pole and on a phone, saying 'to the left of me....'!
08:36 Victoria Of course they would have to know what they were looking at so that excludes me!
08:36 Rich And ME!
08:40 Rich Victoria - Do you want to borrow Loisb's
08:40 Rich Volunteer In The Park T-shirt when you go to clean the cam?
08:40 Rich Make you more "official"
08:41 Victoria always available for a good cause! especially with the proper tools to keep me from being arrested. Hate those federal charges....
08:41 Rich And there is a fed judge in the park.
08:42 Victoria actually, a magistrate. Highly coveted job: YNP as the draw more than the federal magistrate position, although those are sweet too.
08:42 Victoria I could be detained in the new justice center! free digs!
08:42 Victoria but would I have to eat Xanterra food?
08:43 Victoria there are limits to how much i am willing to sacrifie.
08:43 Rich Do you have a view of the Thermal features from the cell?
08:43 Rich Prison food vs Xanterra food? Hmmmmmm
08:44 Victoria nope. hotel between the cells and the terraces I think. Will check and let you know?
08:44 Rich The magistrate is busy also.
08:44 Victoria Guess it is pretty funny when all the attorney's show up in their suits. Haven't seen that show yet.
08:45 Rich What kind of flowers do you like, and what are the visiting hours?
08:45 Victoria depends on the charges: if serious, digitalis?
08:46 Rich I don't think this is an incentive for me to come to YNP.
08:46 Victoria brb
08:46 Rich Good, because it is very available locally.
08:46 Rich k
08:58 Rich bb off to do a couple of errands with Loisb.
09:16 Victoria Derek: is it you and the cam or me and my eyes???
09:16 Derek-cam The cam don't like too much zoom
09:17 Victoria putting my glasses on might help too? old eyes.
09:17 Derek-cam You old?
09:17 Derek-cam I'm 60
09:17 Victoria depends who you ask. X-D
09:18 Victoria next b-day (soon) 53
09:18 Victoria also depends on the day!
09:30 Derek-cam plume

09:36 Victoria here now!
09:36 Derek-cam It's still ie
09:37 Victoria got it!
09:41 Derek-cam Plat looks very close to Sponge Geyser by cam, but when you look at the map you can see the real distance.
09:42 Derek-cam Plate
09:42 Jason Firefox darn I missed plate
09:56 Derek-cam Daisy just finished
10:12 Derek-cam Lion

10:31 Derek Did you see the test yesterday?
10:31 Jason Firefox no, i went home from work early
10:31 Derek They had a cam out near Beehive
10:31 sparekitty yesterday's testing was freaky but cool!
10:31 Derek Obviously a wireless link to the VC
10:31 sparekitty i wasn't expecting it.
10:32 Jason Firefox that's pretty sweet
10:32 Derek Dig the digital captions :D
10:33 sparekitty what digital captions?
10:33 Derek The card in front of the remote cam
10:35 Derek I think they must be set up just behind Beehive there
10:43 CC they are now going to try to clean the lens
10:45 Jason Firefox such a nice sponge
10:45 Victoria gotta love those swiffers!
10:46 CC I think they really are going to need a Ladder to get up there a wipe the sicilia off
10:46 Victoria imagine if someone were tuning in for the first time right now!
10:46 Jason Firefox and a lot of elbow greese
10:46 Victoria lime away
10:47 Jason Firefox seems the same

12:04 Rich probably closer to 2-3 mdt
12:04 Victoria actually Rich, I have been very fortunate in having kids that push the limits only in reasonable ways.
12:04 Rich I never noticed a delay, all the log conversations are in order.
12:04 rmaurer Beehive probably erupt around 2-3 MDT
12:04 Victoria rmaurer - thanks for asking about BH. Was sure I would have missed it!
12:05 rmaurer I wanna see it too!
12:05 rmaurer I loved it when i was there in 2003 and saw it.
12:07 rmaurer Wat r the predictions???
12:08 rmaurer Whos controlling???
12:09 Rich either someone at OF or CC or Derek
12:09 Rich They have been doing some remote cast testing today
12:10 Rich And it appears from the log that there are still intermitent problems with the live cam.
12:10 rmaurer ?
12:10 Rich Monday - 11:00 and 2:00 I believe there is going to be a "LIVE" cast remote from OF.
12:11 Rich Ranger program.
12:11 Rich complete with audio feed.
12:11 Victoria Rich - I will be in Court. Will it be recorded for later viewing?
12:12 rmaurer same here

12:12 Victoria rmaurer: you'll be in YNP on the 24th?

12:15 Rich Yesterday just after the switch over and this morning.
12:16 Victoria warm in the UGB: 73 degrees F at 1300
12:16 Victoria well....warm for YNP!
12:17 rmaurer In 2003 it was 45 at night 55 at 9am and 98 at 12!
12:18 rmaurer It was worth it though to wait for Beehive
12:18 rmaurer 1 hr of sitting!
12:18 rmaurer at 100F
12:18 Victoria supposed to be warm over the next couple of days, but not that warm! Unless you are in Norris Basin, and then it feels 20 degrees warmer than the real temp!
12:18 Victoria Make sure to take sunscreen and a hat!
12:19 rmaurer thanks
12:20 rmaurer hope to catch F&M
12:20 Rich Do we know when it went over night?

15:12 rmaurer Sawmill ie 1612
15:12 Jason Firefox hehe no
15:12 Graham yes in 1998 per Jason
15:12 rmaurer Graham can you zoom in on Sawmill?
15:12 Graham its just having a long interval now
15:13 Graham sure..its moving there
15:13 Graham cant zoom too close or it gets blurred
15:16 rmaurer okay
15:16 rmaurer whens daisy gonna go?
15:17 Graham maybe 1730?
15:18 rmaurer okay
15:19 rmaurer I see water at castle
15:20 Graham not sure, I think its just steam
15:28 Loisb Good Afternoon
15:29 Graham hello Lois how r ya?
15:29 Loisb Am fine - had a lovely nap
15:29 Graham you liked the video?
15:30 Loisb very much - watched it twice it was so funny
15:30 Graham yeah I thought it was short and sweet
15:31 Loisb need to send it to my neice -
15:31 Graham k
15:32 Loisb needless to say she is blonde and might not get it
15:32 Graham haha
15:32 Graham does she walk right into lamp-posts?
15:33 Loisb no - they reach out and get her
15:33 Loisb we're being waved at
15:34 Graham I hope someone they know is watching
15:34 Loisb you mean they aren't really waving at us?
15:34 Loisb My friend and I waved at Volcano - two days in a row - no one saw us
15:36 Graham did it show its appreciation?
15:45 Loisb it managed to be clear for us one morning to see down in and take some decent photos
15:56 Graham OF 1655
16:01 Loisb quite nice
16:02 Graham yep. now waitig for Plume
16:03 Loisb well I am sure not staying up late tonite to do a Beehive watch - g
16:04 Graham yeah but how early will you need to get up?
16:05 Loisb since it was still dark at Yellowstone when I got up this morning I don't think i will be in danger of either seeing Beehive or anything else when I get up
16:06 Graham wow what time do you get up?
16:06 Loisb I got up at 3 this morning - didn't mean to but I had grandma duty today and figured I would sleep past time if I tried to go back to sleep
16:07 Loisb hopefully I will do better tomorrow and Sat when I have repeat duty
16:07 Graham wow thats too early!
16:08 Loisb well i had to be at work at that time or a little later after I went to work for Safeway so one gets in the habit of waking early
16:08 Loisb my goal is to learn to sleep in until at least 6
16:10 Graham well that would be too late for Beehive :)
16:10 Loisb what is your guess for tomorrow?
16:10 Graham between 0500 and 0600
16:11 Graham but what do I know, Beehive doesn't love me
16:11 Graham Plume 1711
16:11 Loisb I am figuring around 3 or 4 and then again between 6 and 7 pm
16:11 Loisb a nice one too
16:11 Loisb sky is just right
16:12 Graham well I will miss tomorrows, am going to my moms in the evening
16:12 carol Hi all

16:25 Loisb I am thinking that we won't see the morning one - but should still be daylight for the second one
16:26 Loisb sure wish someone had given that guy a rag when he was up the tree today
16:26 rmaurer Sawmill 1724
16:28 Graham its still pretty clear though
16:29 Loisb compared to last winter I guess so
16:29 Graham hard to clean in winter, the squeegie freezes up
16:30 Loisb and so I didn't compain much last winter though i would have sent the stuff I use on my windshield so it wouldn't have frozen
16:30 Loisb but its summer now
16:31 Graham not environmentally friendly tho

16:57 carol Its an honor X-D

16:59 Graham hum..Daisy is not cooperating with my prediction

17:01 Graham there it is
17:01 Graham Daisy 1801
17:02 Graham not a good wind direction for it tho
17:04 carol Then sun on it makes it look kinda ghostly

17:06 Loisb He is out visiting friends - left me home all along - with the cat

17:09 carol The lens looks better today
17:10 rmaurer or their just lazy lol just joking
17:10 Loisb are you looking at the static cam lens Carol? It looks just the same to me

17:29 Graham I meant your interview Carol
17:30 Loisb I meant last summer
17:30 carol I was answering Lois question. No not last summer, but it was miserable
17:31 carol Hi Victoria
17:31 Victoria hi carol, LoisB.
17:31 Victoria Carol, you mentioned interview this am. It went well?
17:32 Victoria Is there a fire near you? That would be way more excitement then I would want.
17:32 Victoria and LoisB: I am used to the disappointment of missing B
17:32 Victoria oops... BH.
17:33 carol yes interview went well ! Fire is close enough to see the smoke blume 450 acres
17:34 Victoria I will send thoughts of you being upwind.
17:38 Graham is it the Howland fire?
17:40 Loisb Mammoth

17:43 carol Sorry Bill was talking to me
17:44 Loisb I can see the smoke via the KCRA cam
17:44 Graham at least you live in the rain forest Lois
17:44 Loisb well the rain forest is actually 150 miles or so - but I do live close to water
17:45 Victoria was just thinking I hadn't had any reason to check inciweb yet. Keep hoping we won't have too bad a year. Drying up fast here though.
17:45 Loisb we are too - never thought we would it was so wet for so long
17:45 carol Channel 3 just panned from Desolation Wilderness over toward Auburn smoke is bad that way grown to 450 +

17:48 Loisb I just had a brownie and some milk
17:49 Graham mmmmmm
17:49 Graham Richard is missing out!
17:50 Loisb I find this hard to believe but he told me I have too much rich chocolate in them - they gave him a headache
17:51 Graham ahhh he must have been very sick before trying them. send them over here for a second opinion
17:51 rmaurer Nice little Dwarf Geyser!
17:52 Graham are you packed yet?
17:52 Loisb there are 4 left

17:54 Loisb have to give two to Victoria for washing the cam this weekend - g
17:54 Graham haha
17:54 Graham I am watching the yellowstone winter episode, so I need one to keep me warm
17:55 Loisb which one?
17:55 Victoria have to remember to stick my glass cleaner in the car! and a really really long squeegee!
17:55 Loisb wish you had been there today - you could have just handed it to the guy that was up the tree
17:56 Victoria was actually home. It was funny. Even my 15 yo enjoyed it!
17:57 Loisb if yellowstone had a photo of the day like Glacier does we could submit the captures
17:57 rmaurer Little Cub 1855
17:58 Victoria maybe we should do that on the FB page that was started a few days ago!
17:58 Graham F&M's at 3 days and counting.....
17:58 Victoria know the yellowstone and loon chat pages have theme days!
17:58 Loisb Richard posted a few of the captures there
17:59 Loisb just on his wall
17:59 Graham I posted a video on FB you might like to see
17:59 Victoria don't think I have read an update from anybody in geyser emails. anybody heard any F&M news?
18:00 Victoria will check it out Graham. Thanks.
18:00 Graham they are still active
18:00 Graham probably nobody watching until now
18:01 Graham no emails waiting to come out either
18:01 Graham I just looked for you
18:06 rmaurer wats the facebook address
18:07 Loisb let me see if i can find it - its a fan page that Dave started
18:09 rmaurer Is Sponge Geyser erupting!?
18:10 rmaurer I swear I saw real splashing.
18:10 Graham well maybe. its hard to tell from here
18:10 Graham it does bubble up over the rim sometimes..but I have never seen it really erpt
18:10 rmaurer me neither
18:11 Loisb  
http://www.facebook.com/home.php#/pages/Old-Faithf…
18:11 Graham Plume 1911
18:18 Graham I shouldn't be watching the yellowstone tv show, it makes me want to go right now!
18:18 rmaurer when r u going?
18:20 Loisb is that on PBS?
18:20 Loisb is this the one that was on the BBC earlier in the year?
18:21 Graham its the BBC like one on Animal Planet
18:21 Loisb Richard has the BBC one
18:21 Graham made me want the snow back and all the thermal layers :)
18:22 Graham I have it too
18:22 Loisb George did some nice winter videos from the park this year
18:23 Graham youi cant feel the cold tho
18:23 Loisb well when they first released Georges from this winter my house was still in winter
18:23 Loisb i watched them with my coat on
18:24 Graham ok, now I have to go and look at my winter pics again...brb
18:24 Loisb k
18:26 Graham oh look, theres Beehive :) http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?pid=30092298&l=45e6c4527b&id=1470722670
18:28 Loisb and so it is
18:29 Loisb so you did get to be chilly and watch them last winter
18:30 Graham yes.....4 Beehives in one week too with help from Pat, Derek and CC on indicator watch for me. they called me on my cell
18:30 Loisb you were one of THOSE people
18:30 Graham THOSE people?
18:31 Loisb the ones I watch talking on their cells while the world of geysers goes off
18:32 Loisb now I know what they are talking about - g
18:32 Graham well they called me to tell me the indicator was going so I could come up to see Beehive
18:32 Graham didnt talk to them while it was erupting, no
18:33 Graham walked up from Daisy, Grand, Grotto t osee 3 of them. Was already walking past Lion when indicator went off the other time
18:34 Victoria I texted a friend a couple of weeks ago that indicator was going. She texted me back that she was standing right there, but she appreciated the heads up anyway.
18:34 Graham Plate 1733ie
18:34 Graham you can see that one Lois
18:34 Loisb and so I can
18:34 Victoria Same friend who asks me to text college football and World Series scores for her hiking friends!
18:35 Loisb seems like it is getting dark earlier tonite though
18:35 Graham yeah it helps a lot in Winter when nobody is watching and calling on the radio
18:35 Graham first time i knew it was going was when my phone rang
18:36 Graham start walking toward Beehive while fumbling thru the layers for the phone :)
18:36 Loisb Last time Richard and I were there we were always up and out earlier than the rangers anyhow - we just muddled though
18:36 Graham rmauer - see Plate, you were asking abot it the other day right?
18:37 Graham well someone does the early radio call now when the rangers show up at the VC
18:37 Graham around 730-8 probably now
18:37 Graham Jim or others (like me when I am there) give early reports
18:38 Graham see if we can get people out of bed
18:38 Loisb you have to get up really early to beat me up
18:38 Graham 4am?
18:39 Graham not just up, but out in the basin - 415?
18:39 Loisb well I was up at 3 this morning -
18:39 Loisb we didn't usually make it out to the basin quite that early but were usually out there by 6
18:39 Graham I stau on EDT, so it feels like 615
18:39 Loisb had my youngest son with us so that slowed things down
18:40 Graham i like the quiet and darkness of early morning. have the basin to myself most of the time
18:40 Graham till about 6
18:40 Victoria My motto: if the kid isn't ready, he gets left behind! we both can live with that!
18:40 Victoria I prefer mornings too. home, away, YNP. wherever.
18:41 Loisb he was quite young - and sometimes we just let him sleep in the truck till walking time
18:41 Graham just take a flashlight and watch out for those dark shadows
18:41 Graham yeah thats good
18:41 Loisb flashlight, water bottle and camera
18:41 Graham layers, food, notebook, pen, radio
18:42 Graham gets cold around 6am
18:42 Graham not so bad at 4
18:42 Victoria you guys are giving me my packing list! thanks!
18:42 Graham sunscreen
18:42 Loisb pencil is better in the cold I think
18:42 Victoria actually, my pack never really gets unpacked.
18:42 Graham hehe have to put it on an inside lauyer tho or it thickens up too much
18:42 Graham what time do you leave?
18:43 Victoria bug stuff too.
18:43 Graham not in Sept
18:43 Loisb I need a new day pack - broke the top zipper on mine at Kilauea
18:43 Graham or Jan
18:43 Victoria depends on if I have a sanity client in the afternoon. If none, out of the office by noon. If client, can't leave till about 4.
18:44 Graham noon would be good
18:44 Victoria yeah, bugs don't really present up there until end of June.
18:44 Graham I will try not to show up and delay your departure
18:44 Victoria noon would be good.
18:44 Loisb does 4 get you there before dark
18:44 Victoria haahaaahaaa!
18:44 Graham my insanity hearing can wait till next week
18:44 Victoria 4 gets me to Gardiner/Mammoth by 6, OF by 8
18:44 Loisb wave
18:45 Graham just in time for the second Beehive per Lois :)
18:45 Loisb yep
18:45 Victoria MT law says when they come in, they get to meet with their attorney within 24 hours. so just don't check in until monday!
18:46 Loisb will try and keep that in mind the next time I lose mine
18:46 Graham or meet you in the park?
18:46 Victoria remember LoisB, you want me to clean that lens (did the guy today get it clean?) It might be parts of my face that get posted to FB...
18:47 Loisb a much better idea
18:47 Loisb the guy today did nothing but show his face
18:47 Victoria I am one of the very few people who can say my clients are crazy. Certifiable!
18:48 Loisb I have been known to say something similar about some of the attorneys I worked with - g
18:48 Victoria you have to be one to know one!
18:48 Loisb Osprey baby sighted
18:49 Loisb after writing a few technical things for a few of them I really was certifiable
18:49 Graham babys standing up too
18:49 Loisb yes
18:49 Loisb nice view
18:49 Victoria LoisB - am not seeing it.
18:50 Loisb  
http://ns.www.nps.gov.edgesuite.net/featurecontent…
18:50 Loisb you have to wander from OF now and then
18:50 Graham you are looking the wrong direction Victoria
18:50 Graham try North
18:50 Loisb look east and north
18:50 Victoria I have so many windows open not sure my computer can handle more. (working too)
18:50 Loisb g
18:50 Loisb me too
18:50 Loisb now and then I seem to exceed my bandwidth
18:51 Loisb now the baby has a twig in front of them
18:55 Graham OF 1955
18:56 rmaurer Wonderful view with the sunset!
18:57 Loisb sky is white in my view
18:57 Loisb can't see much
18:57 Graham streaming cam adjusts to the bright light better
18:57 Loisb doesn't seem like the static cam adjusts
18:58 rmaurer Beatiful, magnificent.
18:58 Graham well it does better when it gets dark but not so well when theres low sun in the distance
18:58 rmaurer Natures ballet
18:58 Loisb I was pleased at how much I got the other nite
18:59 Graham yeah streaming cam was probably pretty dark then
19:00 Loisb I should have included some of the sunset captures in my little movie - it was really pretty
19:00 Loisb used to be able to see a lovely sunrise at Washburn but now they moved the cam and you see a great view of the railing
19:01 Graham something to do while you wait for the sunrise Beehive in the morning :)
19:01 Loisb i still haven't finished editing the full 15 hours of Giantess that I captured
19:02 Graham wow
19:02 Graham thats a lot of captured shots
19:02 Loisb well I didn't do it by hand
19:03 Loisb but the editing process is all a one frame at a time job
19:04 rmaurer Sounds cool i wanna see it when its done
19:04 Loisb I'll probably upload it to uTube - I put the first few frames up there already
19:05 Loisb only goes for about 31 seconds - don't recall how much real time
19:05 Loisb I set it at one frame a second when i made the movie
19:07 Loisb I would think the program i have for cature would work with the streaming cam though and turn out much nicer with less work
19:07 Loisb FastStone Capture
19:07 rmaurer is it free
19:07 Loisb 30 day free trial
19:07 Loisb small charge after that - I don't recall how much but i think its worth it
19:08 Loisb 19.95
19:08 Loisb just found the cost
19:09 Loisb http://www.faststone.org/
19:16 Graham Plume 2016
19:17 Victoria nice Plume with sunset and pedestrians!
19:17 Graham the light is nice at this time
19:20 Graham Bison
19:21 Loisb which direction?
19:22 Graham was on static cam right by the boardwalk center of the frame
19:22 Loisb must be to the left
19:23 Loisb not sure if i got it or not - hard to see - will blow it up and check in a bit
19:24 Graham no need to blkow it up..it was right there by the people
19:24 Graham by the close up boardwalk
19:24 Graham this side of OF
19:25 rmaurer Is Daisy gonna go.
19:25 Loisb then I missed it
19:25 Graham Daisy probably sometime in the next 20min I guess, could go now too
19:26 Graham looks like its boining and splashing based on the steam
19:28 Graham Daisy 2027
19:28 rmaurer There it goes!
19:28 rmaurer Wow look at the water!
19:30 rmaurer If Splendid went would it be seen above the trees
19:30 rmaurer its higher than Daisy right?
19:30 Graham its bigger
19:30 Graham would be to the left and pretty much straight up
19:31 rmaurer Nice steam below
19:31 Graham it would be pushing up high but probably not above the trees. its further away than Grand and Grand doesn't reach the top of the ridge line
19:32 Graham should be pretty easy to tell if its Splendid since Daisy is at such an angle
19:32 rmaurer Well a good show
19:33 Graham its been a long time though, 1997 with a possible eruption sometime between

July 17th, 2009 View July’s Logs

05:30 rmaurer Is the cam down??
05:34 Victoria rmaurer: have checked here a couple of times in the last hour or so, and haven't been able to get anything.
05:48 rmaurer why does it keep going down
05:52 Victoria because it knows we expect it to work?
05:55 Victoria Gotta go. Hope they get it going for your viewing pleasure. Have a good day!
06:07 rmaurer carol wats up with the cam?
06:09 carol Hi (wiping the sleep outta my eyes) all
06:10 carol black screen>>>>again
06:11 carol no clue
06:15 carol maurer have you been on since early this am
06:48 CC This is to let you know that Derek still does not have power
07:02 rmaurer still no cam
07:02 rmaurer i was on then the power went out here
07:29 Rich Hi Jason
07:29 Rich Hi guest102995
07:49 Rich Plume ie 08:48:36 wc
08:24 Rich Question: Is there a link for further information about Monday's Live Remote Ranger Broadcast? Would like to pass it along.
08:31 Rich OF ie 09:30:23 wc
08:31 Rich Hi rmaurer
08:33 rmaurer Any activity?
08:33 rmaurer Besides OF?
08:33 rmaurer Hi Rich
08:34 Rich Plume, and maybe Grotto
08:34 rmaurer whos controlling?
08:35 rmaurer Steam by Grand.
08:35 Rich CC probably, since Derek is still without power.
08:36 rmaurer Is she gonna get on?
08:36 Rich She usually comes on when there is an event happening.
08:37 Rich She was on earlier this morning before I came online.
08:37 rmaurer Ok
08:37 rmaurer Now we wait.
08:39 Rich Gaze. g
08:40 rmaurer Is that Plate? Or is it just steaming?
08:40 rmaurer Nah, justvsteaming.
08:41 rmaurer Beehive is most likely around 12 - 15 today since it was suposed to go around 2-5 this morning, hope we catch it!
08:44 Rich I've been trying to get a confirmation on Plate location.
08:45 rmaurer The general consensus is above between Plume and Sponge, slightly to the left. I always thought it was more towards Giantess and Aurum.
08:46 Rich Yes, but I seem to "see" it when no one else does. lol
08:46 Rich So have never had a solid confirmation.
08:47 Rich Early morning and evening times when everything is steam I have a hard time telling if something is erupting. Especially when it is one I haven't seen in eruption.
08:53 rmaurer I look for "chugging" like a steam locomotive does, if its doing that and possibly water, i believe is erupting.
08:54 rmaurer Plume 1955
08:54 rmaurer Plume0955
08:54 Rich On the static cam I usually miss the "chugging", to long between refreshes.
08:54 rmaurer Sorry
08:54 rmaurer Yeah
08:54 rmaurer Its easier on the Streaming cam but the static cam is betterfor morning and night
08:54 Rich np
08:55 rmaurer Im guessing 1100 for Plume +/- 15 min
08:55 Rich Streaming is nice. But the advantage to the static is that even if it is the next day when I see things, it is still "LIVE" for me.
08:55 rmaurer yeah
08:56 rmaurer where you live?
08:56 Rich 67 m interval that time.
08:56 Rich I live in Paradise CA, but am visiting with family in Seattle at this time.
08:57 rmaurer Oh im in Western PA
08:57 Rich Paradise is 90 miles north of Sacramento, near Chico
08:57 rmaurer okay
08:57 rmaurer I heard Giantess put on a nice show a week and a half ago.
08:57 Rich Yes
08:58 rmaurer I saw it on youTube, mad I missed it.
08:58 Rich Dave Montieth put up a vid on YouTube. Capture from the streaming cam.
08:59 Rich  
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SH1L68iyEx8
08:59 rmaurer Dave Monteith called the Beehive eruption I saw in 03 and the Grand, Grotto, and Riverside in 01
08:59 Rich cool
08:59 rmaurer That man seems to be everywhere all at once
08:59 Rich I sometimes wich we had a podcast of the radio chatter.
08:59 Rich wish
08:59 rmaurer Online yeah
09:00 Rich Helps to "know" when things are going to go off. lol
09:00 Jason Firefox so when did i go to beverly hills and charge $220 on my bank card 8)
09:01 Jason Firefox sigh, what a great morning!
09:01 Rich Most of us just have to rely on Dave, T Scott, Lynn and those folks in the "know".
09:01 rmaurer When i go thre in a week im taking a walkie talkie to listen for Beehive, F&M, and Giant
09:02 rmaurer Good thing about Giant is that it lasts for an hour so I can get there
09:02 rmaurer Oh and Giantess too!
09:03 rmaurer Pump 1004
09:05 Rich Graham was hoping for a Giantess in Sept when he goes, but that probably won't happen now.
09:06 rmaurer Okay predictions from OF
09:06 rmaurer OF 1100 +/- 10 mins
09:06 rmaurer Diasy 1035 +/- 30 mins
09:06 rmaurer Riverside 1445 +/-30 mins
09:07 rmaurer Castle 1700 +/- 1hr
09:07 rmaurer Grand 1000 +/- 2hrs
09:07 rmaurer BH last went at 0300
09:08 rmaurer So Im guessing 1600 +/- 1.5 hrs
09:08 rmaurer Between 1430 (230pm ) and 1730 (5pm)
09:08 Rich sounds good to me.
09:09 Rich Grand ie
09:09 rmaurer is it going now
09:09 Rich Well something in the right location is.
09:09 Rich I just see the edge of it.
09:10 Rich have to wait and see the durations and if there are any bursts
09:10 rmaurer Most likely Sawmill
09:10 rmaurer Grand is just bbehind the trees
09:10 rmaurer I see nothing on the streaming cam
09:11 rmaurer Oh maybe it is
09:11 Rich On the very left of the static cam
09:11 rmaurer I see it
09:11 Rich Graham is still teaching me. Too many geysers in that location on the static cam.
09:11 rmaurer I think its Grand
09:12 rmaurer Hope CC moves the streaming cam there
09:12 rmaurer Oh yes Grand
09:13 rmaurer wow is it thundering here good thing im on a laptop
09:13 Rich Grand ie 09:09 wc
09:14 rmaurer dont u mean 1009?
09:14 Rich Grand ie 10:09 wc, I was using the log for time line.
09:15 Rich it is in PDT.
09:15 Rich ty
09:17 rmaurer I see splashing at Giantess very hopefull yet very slim chances
09:18 rmaurer Extremly slim chances...
09:19 Rich g
09:21 rmaurer Lion?
09:26 Rich sorry I had a phone call. missed it.
09:30 rmaurer nah it was just steaming.
09:30 Rich I'm trying to edit together all the different logs from this month.
09:38 rmaurer Any particular reason
09:40 Rich With all the Meebo site changes we've done this month, the logs are scattered all over. Just making a back up of the logs.
09:41 Rich I like to go back and read the old logs, learn about the geysers from the discussions.
09:42 rmaurer Oh okay
09:43 Rich I see the 25 m crowd has gathered at OF.
09:57 Rich Plume ie 10:55:06 wc

06:58 Derek The cam itself is actually working because I can see it on the control viewer. It's the media player stream that's down.

07:38 Rich I do wish that the VC wouldn't change the prediction until after OF has finished.
07:38 Rich It seems that when they update, the static cam doesn't refresh, usually take about 3 minutes out of viewing.
07:38 Rich Also when the Friday person does it on Friday afternoon,
07:38 Rich we loose the cam until Saturday around noon.
08:02 Rich Plume ie 09:01:06 wc

12:44 Derek What time are you going out?
12:45 Graham at 630
12:45 Derek OK, well after my bedtime
12:46 Graham Plate 1345ie
12:51 Derek I would guess Plate is a lot further from Sponge than it appears on the cam.
12:54 Graham its actually pretty close
12:55 Graham standing on the boardwalk its mostly hidden by the slope from sponge
12:55 rmaurer When did BH go?
12:56 Graham no idea
12:57 rmaurer its not on the log
12:57 rmaurer so before 5 this morning probably going about 2-4 today?
12:58 Graham Plume 1357
12:58 rmaurer Cool.
12:58 Graham dunno, that seems rather quick since yesterday
12:58 Derek Hot actually
12:59 rmaurer Wouldnt it be cool if a new geyser just started and went 200-300ft? To bad it wont happen.
13:00 Derek Graham, did you hear me say, I got a new camcorder?
13:01 thy 19/m with cam...*****
13:03 Graham no, what is it?
13:03 Derek Panasonic SDR-S26
13:04 Derek 70x optical zoom
13:04 Graham wow thats a long zoom
13:04 Derek SD card
13:05 rmaurer Split Cone 1404

13:09 Derek Graham, if you need a break, I'll be around until 17:00 edt
13:11 Graham thats ok, I amdoing good
13:22 Graham I wonder if Victoria actually stayed out at F&M last night?
13:23 Derek Rather her than me
13:25 Graham no time was reported so I'm thinking she didn't stay out, but she made it sound like she would
13:44 Graham OF 1444ie

15:14 Derek Graham
15:15 Graham Indicator 1615ie
15:15 Derek Can you test the improved zoom on indicator please.
15:16 captbunzo I was about to ask the same thing :)
15:16 Graham thats about as close as I can go before it gets fuzzy
15:16 Derek Wow
15:16 captbunzo the woble on the tree is pretty intense!
15:16 Derek That's very good
15:16 captbunzo oh, that's nice!
15:17 Derek It'd be great on a calm day
15:17 Graham getting sea sick here
15:17 Derek Believe it or not Paul, it seems to have fixed itself
15:17 captbunzo fixed itself?
15:18 Derek Hasn't been like that since last year
15:18 captbunzo how long before beehive?
15:18 captbunzo as in... what does the indicator tell us?
15:19 Derek Tom installed a new camera and said it had a doubler. But a few weeks later it seemed to de-activate
15:19 Graham max about 22min
15:19 Graham usually 9-14min
15:19 captbunzo ah.... :)
15:19 Graham not sure when it started tho
15:19 captbunzo cool!
15:19 captbunzo then I shall watch :)
15:19 Graham I guess it was over 30 min right after Giantess
15:20 captbunzo (and GRRR.... I have to drive into London tomorrow...)
15:20 Graham not many ppl there
15:20 Graham at Grand maybe
15:22 Derek OK, I'm off downstairs. Goodnight all.

15:24 Derek She's not home anyway. I just tried to call her :-)
15:24 Graham g-night then
15:25 Graham all walking by, still no Gazers here?
15:27 Graham maybe all left the area because of F&M erupting overnight
15:27 captbunzo any of our chatters visiting the park anytime soon?

17:11 Graham Could try Pump and Anemone too
17:11 CC I don't understand how all of a sudden the doubler started to work again
17:11 Graham must have been Victoria in the park, fixing things after she watched F&M :)
17:11 CC also it is very upsetting that the media player is dark every morning
17:12 Graham yeah, not sure whats going on there

05:18 CC Lion 6:18 (IE)
05:38 Derek Hi Carol
05:38 carol Morning derek.
05:38 carol What is that?
05:38 Derek CC wont get that silica off
05:38 Derek She's using the wiper
05:38 Derek It's not wet enough
05:39 Victoria Good morning all. I KNEW I should have cleaned that lens yesterday. Even had my glass cleaner in the car.
05:39 carol OH! I didn't know there was a wiper.
05:39 Derek You good at tree climbing?
05:39 Derek We don't have access to the wiper
05:39 Victoria for a good cause I can be fearless!
05:39 Derek Only CC and higher :-)
05:40 Victoria problem with that tree is they have cut off all the lower branches.
05:40 carol Victoria how was your trip. I thought about you this am.
05:40 carol thought you'd still be in the park
05:41 carol lens needs some orange glo cleaner
05:42 Victoria It was wonderful. I missed F&M as I couldn't get there before road closure, but I can't say as how I can imagine ever having a bad day there.
05:43 Victoria Carol - most of my trips are less than 36 hours. Kid, dogs, clients. Too many things to prevent a real 'vacation.'
05:43 Victoria NEXT time: i will take my lime away and leave it at the VC as a hint.
05:46 carol Bill and I were talking about a very short trip in the fall. Labor day or in Oct. drive all nite spend 3 days and drive home.
05:47 carol not bring the 5th wheel. Tent camp outta the Highlander.
05:47 Derek Nice close-up of Sawmill
05:47 carol Derek is the doubler on?
05:48 Derek Yes
05:48 carol wow!
05:48 Derek It hasn't worked since last year
05:48 carol I'm still rubbing sleep outta my eyes
05:50 carol When did It get fixed
05:50 Derek It fixed itself
05:50 Derek Plate IE
05:50 Derek 06:50
05:51 carol No way
05:51 Derek That's the Plume bench at the bottom
05:52 carol just all the sudden it works after a year. yep i see that
05:52 Derek Someone suggested that Victoria fixed the zoom
05:53 Victoria Ok, I confess, I shook that tree really realy hard yesterday...
05:53 carol Great!
05:53 Victoria kidding. wouldn't want to get arrested.
05:54 Victoria admit I thought about it though!
05:54 carol Wow that great!
05:54 carol Mental note: Don't scratch were it itches
05:55 Derek Dwarf group
05:56 carol So....Did you stay in the UGB most of your stay?
05:57 Derek Sprinkler
06:00 Victoria sorry. catching up on email.
06:01 Victoria Upper and middle.
06:01 Victoria Caught a lovely Great Fountain with Kit, Dean, Jere, Jim, etc.
06:02 carol I'm jealous! Blue Bubbles?
06:02 Victoria Had to leave after having waited for Grand for about an hour and a half. Assume it went right after I left! BH too. Left the UGB at 1615
06:04 Victoria yes. blue. good heights too.
06:07 Victoria gotta say: seeing on cam is killing me! I could be back there by lunchtime!
06:08 carol We've decided that the friendships developed while gazing are priceless!
06:08 Victoria absolutely.
06:08 carol Your suffening the dreaded "Park withdrawl sydrome"
06:09 Victoria I frequently think about moving my life and my practice to Gardiner. It would be so doable. Of course my teenager would divorce me!
06:09 carol Park withdrawl sydrome......that was weird!
06:09 Victoria but that wouldn't be such a bad thing?
06:09 carol lol
06:10 carol how old?
06:10 Victoria 15. good kid. I can stick it out another 3 years. Have been parenting for 35 now!
06:15 Derek Going to help wash dishes, Back soon.
06:16 carol 15 - 19 is hard years to parent!
06:16 carol are
06:17 Victoria compared to my other kids, Joshua is a breeze.
06:18 Victoria after raising three other kids, there isn't much he can dream up that I haven't already dealt with or can't anticipate!
06:18 Rich Hi everyone
06:18 Rich Hi Victoria
06:18 Rich hi Jason
06:18 Rich Hi Derek
06:19 Rich Hi carol
06:19 Victoria Hi Rich!
06:19 carol Hey Rich
06:19 carol Do your kids enjoy the park also?
06:20 carol Rich do you have a time for yesterdays BH?
06:20 Victoria Older kids now all too far away to even consider going. Joshua enjoys it. He enjoys co-piloting and telling me where to go. Especially lvoes the junk food he gets to eat!
06:21 carol lol
06:21 Victoria I think the morning BH was around 0414. I was hoping to catch the later one, but hadn't heard a squack over the radio when I left at 1615
06:21 Rich lol
06:22 Victoria I got skunked on the two I really wanted to see. Still...not sad I went.
06:22 Rich We did get Beehive captured from the streaming cam yesterday, Just for you Victoria. g
06:23 Victoria plume ie 0722?
06:23 Rich Lois is editing now, will be up asap.
06:23 Rich looks like it
06:23 Victoria Thanks Rich!
06:23 Victoria if BH stays on 4+ day intervals, I might be good for next Sunday.
06:24 Rich And if it doesn't? lol
06:24 Victoria have a social engagement next saturday (don't miss them, I usually only have two a year...), or might consider a full weekend.
06:24 Rich g
06:24 Victoria I would probably go anyway? ;)
06:25 Victoria I have finally given myself permission to do things I want to do, and what I want to do is be in YNP.
06:25 Rich CONGRATS!!!!
06:26 Victoria gotta go. Meeting a friend from law school. Only person in my class older than me, and that was quite a challenge!
06:26 Derek Back
06:26 Victoria See all later.
06:26 Rich bye
06:26 Rich enjoy
06:26 Graham hello
06:26 Rich Hi Graham
06:26 Rich Good moring, Graham," Loisb
06:27 Graham so Victoria didn't see F&M?
06:27 Rich no
06:29 Rich Got to watch Beehive on the live cam yesterday. I don't think I could handle watching the live cam all the time. I think I would get sea-sick with the wind induced motion.
06:29 Rich g
06:29 Graham looks like she left just as the indicator started last night too
06:29 Graham woohoo how did that happen Rich?
06:30 Rich Of ie 07:29:21 wc
06:30 Graham yeah we have been experimenting with the close up zoom, it was too windy but later in the day I could zoom all the way in on Sawmill and it stayed steady
06:31 Rich We happened to hit my nephews house in time for an afternoon "nap" and decided to try the Fast Capture program on the streaming cam.
06:31 Rich After a false start, the 2 min startup, had to click the play button again. Capture started off great.
06:31 Graham ok. it cooperated for me too right before dinner
06:32 Graham I think Carol told Craig to fix the zoom or she wouldn't run the cam
06:33 Rich So Tuesday and Thursday, we are planning to "hit" nephew's place to record the ranger "specials".
06:33 Graham ah, good. I expect the NPS to post them too
06:33 carol on the phone
06:34 Rich k
06:35 Graham have to do a double take when we zoom in on stuff now, have to figure out what it is again
06:36 Derek What's that behind the tree?
06:36 Rich Giraffe?
06:37 Graham sorry was getting my toasted muffin
06:37 Graham maybe Old Tardy?
06:38 Graham Depression looked good zoomed in last night
06:38 Derek We saw Plate earlier
06:38 Rich cool
06:38 Graham yeah it looks big on streaming cam
06:39 Rich Also got to see Pump live stream view.
06:39 Graham can get a good screen of Anemone and Pump too, got to see both Big and Little dual yesterday
06:40 Graham are you and CC covering the cam today? I am still at my moms could cover a gap if you need me to
06:40 Derek I don't know what CC is doing
06:41 Graham ok, should I stop by around 130?
06:41 Rich CC is at a wedding shower today
06:41 Graham ah
06:41 Derek It's up to you.
06:42 Graham looks like Beehive went earlier?
06:42 Derek I'll go for tea at my normal time.
06:42 Rich WOW, Graham, you are amazing.
06:43 Graham hey, thats years of experience
06:44 Derek That's a new one for me.
06:44 Graham you wait till Beehive starts to egt unpredictable again
06:44 Derek Any ideas?
06:44 Rich Lots.
06:44 Graham looks like Bronze Spring
06:44 Derek ok
06:44 Graham was it erupting or just steaming?
06:45 Derek Lion
06:45 Rich Tis a steamy morning.
06:45 Derek and Oblong I think
06:45 Rich Lion ie 07:44:23 wc
06:46 Derek What is wc?
06:46 Rich web cam
06:46 Graham its got a vertical component tho, may be Grand
06:46 Derek Ahhh
06:46 Graham lets see how long it lasts
06:47 Graham looks more like Oblog now tho
06:47 Derek Yeah. To the right of Grand
06:48 Graham when I looked at static there was a nice straight side going up on the left which is typical of Grand but closeup looks like Oblong
06:48 Graham now just time it
06:50 Rich Normally Grand is closer to the edge of the static cam. Oblong is usally in this location.
06:50 Graham looks like about 6min, typical Oblong
06:51 Graham may have Turban now
06:55 Derek Rich, I had to ask because over here, wc is the alternative name for toilet :-)
06:55 Grant camper Good Morning Everyone. Nice to see the chat room working!

07:05 Rich We have "weird" conversations here.
07:05 Grant camper yikes, I'd say so.
07:05 Graham what may be teapot is steaming
07:05 Rich At least WC's aren't named after the inventor of the toilet.
07:06 Grant camper You mean William F. Toilet
07:06 Derek Grant, no-one seems to know for sure, but I think this is the location of Teapot.
07:06 Rich hehe
07:06 Grant camper Yes, that is it.
07:07 Grant camper It looks like an ant hill. I always thought.
07:07 Derek I think that's where the steam is coming from
07:07 Grant camper There is beehive
07:08 Grant camper Chinese Spring is closest across the river from beehive.
07:08 Rich Don't give me a heart attack, Grant. I wasn't prepared for a Beehive call yet.

09:05 Derek Yep
09:05 Derek Beryl was asleep
09:06 Derek Shall I take the cam back?
09:08 Derek Grand
09:08 Graham sure
09:11 Graham going out after Grand...bbl
09:11 Rich g
09:30 Rich hi guest745293
09:31 Derek Hey Rich, have you ever been a doorman at a hotel? :-)
09:33 Rich No, but my name is Richard, as the old song goes. Open the Door, Richard.
09:33 Derek Haha
09:34 Rich I have been a greeter for several groups I belonged to.
09:34 Rich And I like it when some one greets me when I enter. Let's me know I exist.
09:34 Rich g
09:36 Rich Otherwise I have to breath on a mirror.
09:36 Derek I'm too scared to look in a mirror
09:37 Rich Hi victoria
09:38 Rich Lois says "Where are you photos from Yesterday?"
09:38 Rich We want to know what it looks like for real.
09:38 Rich lol
09:39 Rich Loisb is uploading the live cam we captured of Beehive yesterday, as we chat.
09:39 Rich Only a quarter of an inch to go.
09:39 Rich OF ie 10:38:56 wc
09:54 Victoria I have not seen this further reaching cam before. Remind me to NOT let you know when I am there. The thought of the world knowing how I look from behind is absolutely terrifying!
09:54 Victoria But seriously: love the shots and views.
09:54 Derek How will we know it's you?
09:54 Derek ;-)
09:55 Victoria I will remain cloaked!
09:55 Victoria if at the cabins, will let you know ahead of time and you can catch me sneaking to the showers?
09:55 Derek You mean to say there are showers in there?
09:56 Victoria yeap, and knowing what I know now: will walk so as to avoid the world seeing me in my robe!
09:57 Derek That's a seriously old bus
09:57 Victoria those are the buses that are being used for tours now. original buses with new engines. fun. soft roofs that roll back.
09:58 Victoria is anybody else having problems with their cam shots stopping and going black? sometimes I think it is just me.
09:59 Derek The stream does keep stopping
09:59 Victoria thanks Derek.
09:59 Derek We get a different feed on the control screen
10:00 Derek Our feed is jumpy, like 1 or 2 fps
10:00 Victoria yikes.
10:00 Derek That's why I try to keep the player running as well
10:00 Rich Sounds like a live camera problem to me. g
10:01 Derek There is also a delay on the player, ranging from 20 to 40 seconds
10:04 Derek Rich
10:04 Rich yes
10:04 Derek When was the last Beehive?
10:09 Victoria I still haven't seen a report from yesterday, but assuming geysers I want to see ALWAYS cut loose after I left, I figure there was a B
10:09 Victoria oops
10:09 Victoria BH about 1630 yesterday, and then another this early am?
10:11 Rich good guess.
10:11 Rich Another one probably this afternoon.
10:15 Rich I'm off to a picnic.
10:15 Derek ok
10:15 Rich Have a good day
10:15 Rich bye
10:31 Graham back
10:31 Derek wb
10:31 Graham its a whole new world in the basin with the zoom working
10:32 Derek I have a theory about how it got working again, but I want run it past CC first.
10:32 Victoria Gotta go. All my weekend chores must be crammed into one day. 90 degrees here before noon means will be ugly hot by mid-day. Best get out and back before then. Have a good day. bbl.
10:33 Derek Seeya
10:33 Graham bye
10:33 Graham I hear you slept thru F&M
10:33 Graham did I miss anything
10:33 Derek Where on the map is that large white mound?
10:34 Graham thats the mound beyond Daisy with Pyramid on it
10:34 Derek I'll have to look for that
10:34 Graham should show up with lots of round contour lines
10:35 Derek Where are the Bison this time of year?
10:35 Graham probably near the Midway or Lower geyser basins or maybe even down at Madison
10:36 Derek So we're not likely to see them
10:37 Graham well there was a lone bison the other day
10:37 Derek Must have got lost
10:37 Graham so they could come through but theres lots of grass to eat down the valley
10:37 Graham I see it started to rain
10:37 Derek yep
10:37 Graham probably a lone male getting away from the family groups
10:42 Derek I can't find that mound on the map
10:44 Graham I think its colored blue. go from Daisy North over the boardwalk and a bit t othe left. You should find Pyramid Geyser on the east side of a big mound
10:44 Graham big white pyramid shaped mound
10:45 Graham its between Daisy and the roadway to the NW. Probably due West of Grotto?
10:45 Graham not far away
10:46 Derek Still looking
10:46 Derek You can take the cam now if you like. I'll have another look at the map before I go for tea
10:47 Graham ok
10:50 Derek I can see a few blue mounds but no mention of Pyramid
10:50 Graham it should be the closest geyser north of Splendid, across the boardwalk
10:51 Derek I'll look some more after tea
10:51 Graham maybe its not named on the map...look at Scotts book
10:51 Graham ok
10:51 Graham food will help your eyesight :)
11:05 Graham Plume 1203
12:09 Derek Back
12:09 Graham ok. do you want the cam now?
12:10 Derek ok
12:10 Derek Will you be here at 17:00?
12:10 Graham Pkume should be due but its hard to see thru the steam
12:10 Graham maybe a little but I drive home around 7
12:11 Derek OK, well I finish at 17:00 anyway for bed
12:13 Graham ok. maybe CC will be ob Beehive watch then anyway
12:43 Derek Any idea when the next Daisy is due?
12:45 Graham I have not seen Daisy

13:34 Victoria jee, a girl (well, okay middle age woman...) falls asleep in her chair and look at all the excitement she misses!
13:34 Derek You didn't miss much
13:34 Victoria how do they find it here?
13:35 Derek They enter via the meebo site
13:35 Victoria btw, yesterday, the crowds in the park were huge, both on the boardwalk and on the road.
13:35 Graham so you didnt camp out for F&M I hear?
13:35 Victoria too old to know all that internet chat and communication stuff!
13:36 Victoria no. didn't make it south before the road closed. Too tired to do the long drive in the dark.
13:36 Derek You old? I'm 61 in October
13:36 Victoria seriously miffed at myself.
13:36 Graham oh well, just have to back again to see them!

17:32 Rich by cb
17:32 Rich I got dumped
17:32 Rich hi vw
17:33 Rich I see where we had some "visitors".
17:33 Rich Hi guest863394
17:34 sparekitty hey, rich, it's sparekitty. i'm at home today
17:34 sparekitty i guess that's how to set a nickname
17:35 Rich Hi sparekitty
17:35 sparekitty what's up today?
17:35 Rich yep
17:36 Rich I gather Beehive erupted.
17:37 sparekitty looks like a nice day at OF today.
17:37 Rich I went to a picnic today.
17:37 vw BH 1558. Sorry you missed it.
17:37 Rich Had a great time.
17:37 vw good food. I love food.
17:38 Rich It happens, but then again, it will erupt again also.
17:38 Rich Tomorrow's another day.
17:38 sparekitty that's it!
17:38 Rich I took two bowls of potato salad and they were gone before I could get any.
17:38 Rich g
17:39 Rich Was about 8 lbs of salad
17:39 Rich Must have done something right this time.
17:39 vw but if you took them, you have the recipe and could make more? Can't believe you didn't set some aside for yourself!
17:40 Rich Left some here at the house for Lois.
17:40 sparekitty what's your secret ingredient, rich?
17:40 Rich Very easy. I bought it and then doctored it up with some deli mustard.
17:40 vw we are sworn to secrecy here Rich!
17:41 sparekitty i love it! that's my kind of cooking!
17:41 Rich I think it is Reisen or something like that, I know I get it at Safeway in CA.
17:41 Rich lol
17:41 Rich And the deli mustard was one of Safeway
17:41 Rich 's
17:41 Rich So, guess I will keep that one a "family" recipe.
17:42 Rich lol
17:42 vw after posting here? you know nothing on the net is a secret!
17:42 Rich Even the $10,000 cookie recipe.
17:42 vw hahahaha
17:43 Rich The only one I really cared about was the Reese's peanut butter cup one.
17:43 Rich Oh, so good.
17:45 Rich Looks like from FB that Lois captured Beehive today, so I will get to see it "live" tomorrow morning. g
17:46 Rich Nice having two computers running, at least one of us gets the capture.
17:46 Rich And Lois is such a nice sister, she gets up at about 4 am pdt, so she gets the early morning ones.
17:47 Rich I usually get the late evening.
17:50 Rich Everyone get the notice about the "Live online programs will be conducted here on the webcam at 11:00amand 2:00pm every Tuesday and Thursday from July 20 through August 14."
17:51 vw Saw that Rich. Thx. Is there one tomorrow/Monday then?
17:52 Rich That's what CC said early last week, but I haven't seen any more about it.
17:52 vw Just hoping to not miss the preview! Out of the office to Forsyth tomorrow. So excited. NOT.
17:53 Rich Graham said something earlier about that the programs were gong to be recorded and then posted.
17:54 Rich Like the 90 or so that George has done.
17:54 vw so NOT 'Live online programs....'?
17:54 vw i am so confused.
17:54 Rich On Tuesday and Thursday's they will be live.
17:55 Rich My understanding.
17:55 Rich Then they will be available later online.
17:55 vw gotcha.
17:55 vw so naive.
17:56 vw so clueless
17:57 Rich So much differning information it is always difficult to tell, but then it is similar to watching geyxer, either they do or they don't.
17:57 Rich OF ie 18:56 wc
17:58 vw Unless you are CC of course. Seems like whenever she shows we get a BH show!
18:02 Rich Yes, it really loves her.
18:07 vw Rich: I'm hungry. Sure wish you had some of that salad left over! Or better yet: BROWNIES!
18:08 Rich Lois is eating as we speak.
18:09 Rich Have brownie mix, just have to face the oven.
18:10 Rich Suppose to be 95 by next weekend and maybe hotter.
18:10 vw too hot to cook here.
18:10 Rich We started "summerizing" this morning, putting aluminum foil on the south and west windows.
18:11 Loisb Hello
18:11 vw Hi LoisB!
18:12 Rich Meanie, eating all the potato salad.
18:12 Loisb Yep
18:12 vw g
18:12 Loisb are you home already Victoria?
18:13 vw yeap. I can only usually get away for a day. That's why catching any certain geyser is so hard. 8 hours of driving for 4-6 hours in the Park.
18:13 vw One time could only stay for a couple of hours, but NEEDED to get away!
18:14 Loisb is that your excuse for not cleaning the cam for me?
18:14 Rich The "FIX" is needed.
18:14 vw Next Sunday? Will have to remember to pack my ladder though!
18:14 Rich lol
18:15 vw hard to fit in a day pack
18:15 Loisb I have several here if you want to stop by and choose one
18:25 vw Lion 1925 ie?
18:26 Loisb I have a half bowl of potato salad I am willing to share and two left over brownies
18:26 Loisb he has snuck off on his way bacvk

04:59 cb yes
04:59 CC that happens occasionally
05:00 CC Castle is putting out alot of white steam
05:01 cb I saw that. I wonder if its a minor
05:01 CC was thinking the same thing
05:02 CC Lion
05:02 cb The whole basin looks....Chilly this morning. Lots of steam coming from everywhere
05:02 CC 6:02 Lion (IE)
05:04 cb That looks like an initial
05:04 CC I think so
05:05 cb Hi Dave

05:11 cb Safe travels
05:13 cb Hello to our quest
05:14 cb The amount of steam in the basin reminds me of a late Fall morning rather than mid July
05:15 cb We're thinking of making a quick trip into the park either over labor day or in Oct...
05:15 CC very exciting
05:16 CC we may also decide to go in September
05:16 CC don't have definite plans yet
05:16 cb Over Labor Day?
05:16 CC can't be sure
05:16 CC would like to be there when Graham is in the Park

07:49 kalamitykatie Yep, it has been a long time. Thanks!
07:50 Rich The room was switch about a week ago, so if you have the log separately bookmarked, it needs to be updated, so you can get to the right log archive.
07:50 Derek What do you think of that zoom Katie?

07:56 Rich hi guest102995
07:58 kalamitykatie Beautiful clear day
07:58 Derek Yeah
07:58 Derek Did you hear about the recent Giantess?
07:59 kalamitykatie Mom, an aunt and a few cousins were in the Park yesterday. It was 45 degrees, cold and rainy on Dunraven. In SW Montana it was in the 90's.
07:59 kalamitykatie They did get to see Beehive and also Pink Cone, though.
07:59 kalamitykatie I did not hear about the recent Giantess -- when was it?
08:00 Derek A couple of weeks ago. Carol B and Me saw it start
08:00 kalamitykatie We looked at the satellite/radar images of weather -- they managed to cross under the one cloud in the whole region I think. :)
08:00 Derek It went on all day and the following day.
08:00 Rich  
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SH1L68iyEx8
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=akZfqeVMiIk
08:00 kalamitykatie Seems like it's been rather more frequent -- maybe just subjective. I haven't looked at the logs & history
08:01 Rich links to Dave Montieth's streaming captures
08:02 Derek For everyones information, CC has reported the jumping and freezing of the video stream.
08:03 Rich Giantess was on July 6th I believe
08:04 Derek Split Cone. Up close.
08:11 Derek 15:11 Plate ie
08:16 Derek Just going downstairs for a few minutes to help Wife. I'll leave cam on Plate and Plume
08:18 Rich k
08:23 Rich Hi Jason
08:25 CC Regarding the freezing of the media player
08:25 CC It appears to be Network congestion according to Craig
08:26 Rich Hi CC
08:26 CC hi rich
08:28 Derek Back again
08:28 Derek Message recieved CC
08:36 captbunzo and yes, network congestion would be correct.
08:37 Derek I wonder where the bottlekneck is.
08:39 Derek Isn't congestion usualy certain times each day? This seems to be all day and night.
08:41 captbunzo nah - it can happen for lots of different reasons...
08:41 Derek Daisy
08:41 Derek 09:41 ie
08:41 Rich OF?
08:41 Derek Daisy
08:41 Rich ty
08:42 Rich hi sparekitty

08:43 Derek Rich can't see it anyway
08:43 Derek On dial-up
08:44 sparekitty ah
08:44 Rich I must be invisible also.
08:44 sparekitty why are you invisible?
08:44 Rich I did get a capture Sunday of Beehive from the Live cam.
08:45 CC just reported the total black screen on media player
08:47 Rich Wonder if prep for broadcast might be the cause of some of today's activity.
08:48 Rich Plume ie 09:47 wc
08:59 Rich hi guest304467
09:05 Rich Who's got their finger in the OF?
09:05 Rich vent.
09:06 Derek Don't look at me. I'm too far away.
09:06 Rich Maybe the cam and OF are linked by underground channels.
09:06 Rich lol
09:08 Rich You don't think the little water at 09:59:15 was it, do you?
09:08 Rich OF ie 10:07:57 wc

10:33 CC OF 11:33
11:00 Rich George has several vids on the multimedia YNP page.
11:00 Rich There are 90 some available.
11:02 Jason Firefox The main problem I heard was the microphone buzzing, but that might be unavoidable
11:03 Jason Firefox That and the cameraman was missing queues, but that's ok too :P
11:03 Rich open ground somewhere.
11:05 captbunzo the buzz was REALLY bad.... but that might not be fixable.
11:05 captbunzo or might be a budget problem :)
11:07 Rich Usually means that the gain is to high or 60 cycle interference.
11:07 captbunzo ah.....
11:08 captbunzo so maybe a fixable problem?
11:09 CC right now they have the audio as high as they can go....they will have to fix that when they find out how to do so
11:09 captbunzo tell them all thanks for us!
11:10 captbunzo it was really great :)

13:22 captbunzo reload for a slightly improvement on the page.

16:25 Graham you are scoring the test Rich
16:26 captbunzo only another 4 hours of work :)
16:26 sparekitty what improvements do we have to look forward to?
16:26 Graham I think only one of the ones I mentioned I have not seen
16:27 Graham that being Big Cub
16:35 captbunzo today's one is a refresh-less selection box for the static cam views.
16:35 captbunzo however, also to be added will be an option that replaces the streaming cam with a large static cam.
16:35 captbunzo that'll be nice for the dial-upers
16:35 sparekitty sounds good.
16:35 captbunzo :)
16:36 captbunzo there is a better selection box for the chat logs.
16:36 Loisb Hello
16:39 Loisb Goodbye
16:42 Rich Hi guest5735
16:43 sparekitty see you tomorrow, rich. i'm off to school. have a nice evening!
16:44 Graham bye

16:45 Rich slow again, as I usually am.
16:45 Rich Had to reload the chat log to find out what answers came up.
16:46 Rich Now I have a whole list of "new" geysers to learn. g
16:50 Rich High score is unknown to me, have to check all the list.
16:50 Rich OF ie 17:49:42 wc

17:10 Graham Turban
17:12 captbunzo muwhahaha :)
17:16 Jim_Kayn I'm confused.
17:16 Graham thats ok, we are most of the time too
17:16 Jim_Kayn I guess that's good.
17:16 Jim_Kayn Why is this room called "Old Faithful"?
17:18 Graham because its at Old Faithful in Wyoming maybe?
17:18 Rich We watch the geysers at Yellowstone National Park.
17:19 Rich  
http://www.nps.gov/yell/photosmultimedia/yellowsto…
17:20 Rich  
http://www.gosa.org/browsebasins.aspx?pField=YNP
17:21 Rich The second will give you all the information you could ever want about the geysers in Yellowstone.
17:22 Graham not sure about that Rich..doesn't say when Steamboat will erupt next
17:22 Rich Prediction is not GOSA main objective I don't think. lol
17:23 Graham Plume 1822
17:23 Graham well we want to Observe
17:23 Graham Plume went from 84 to 65min
17:25 Rich Apply for a grant, and we'll get you a permit to pitch a tent.

17:25 Graham who me or Jim?
17:26 Rich you Graham.
17:26 Rich Jim if you are interested in birds of prey,
17:27 Rich That is a link to a webcam overlooking an OSprey nesting pair in Glacier National Park.
17:27 Rich They have 3 young chicks in the nest.
17:27 Jim_Kayn cool
17:28 Rich One of the parents is standing on the edge of the nest right now, possibly one of the chicks heads is visable.
17:28 Rich hi guest5632506
17:30 Graham Turban
17:35 captbunzo hey folks!
17:35 captbunzo do a quick page reload.
17:35 captbunzo new feature enabled :)
17:36 Jim_Kayn What new feature?
17:36 captbunzo are you in meebo?
17:36 captbunzo or on this page:
http://yellowstone.paulthompson.net/camchat
?
17:37 Rich Great drop downs.
17:38 Graham does it have a wiper option for the cams?
17:38 captbunzo hehe
17:38 captbunzo that'd be cool :)
17:39 captbunzo the base URL stays the same.
17:40 captbunzo but the #Views are bookmarkable....
17:40 captbunzo so for instance... someone on dialup might want to bookmark
http://yellowstone.paulthompson.net/camchat/#Stati…
17:40 Rich Like ME!
17:40 Rich lol
17:40 captbunzo that SHOULD load the page without the video ever tring to load, thus NOT ******* bandwidth...
17:40 Rich and it loaded and refreshed.
17:40 captbunzo so, how does that view work for you, Rich?
17:41 Rich And it does
17:41 Rich Great, and the saved image is full size
17:41 captbunzo (btw - the perfectionist inside of me is annoyed that I can't get the top and bottom of the image perfectly aligned...)
17:41 Rich lol
17:41 captbunzo (but many hours of work - time to quit for now...)
17:42 Rich That is terrible, I don't know how we are going to live with that. Have to keep working on it.
17:42 Rich lol
17:42 captbunzo tehehehe....
17:43 captbunzo I'll probably figure it out eventually :)
17:43 Rich And we will LOVE It. g
17:43 captbunzo btw - now that I have all the framework in place for this, it's would be quite easy to add OTHER views.
17:43 Rich Now I don't have to have 3 tabs open.
17:43 captbunzo (if anyone can dream up any other views)
17:43 Rich Like Osprey in Glacier?
17:43 captbunzo excellent - does that bring you down to 2 or 1 tab?
17:44 captbunzo ah .... actually, it did occur to me to consider that.
17:44 Rich Leave to me,
17:44 Rich The url is above for the osprey cam.
17:45 Rich Great.
17:45 Rich now one stop viewing.
17:45 Rich Want the whole list of NPS webcams? Do ya, Do ya????? lol
17:45 captbunzo muwhahaha :)
17:46 captbunzo so, should there be ONE chatroom for all the webcams?
17:46 captbunzo or one for each? :)
17:46 Rich Groupings
17:46 captbunzo theoretically speaking, of course :)
17:46 Rich Must not leave out National Monuments and then there is the East coast people. g
17:46 Rich Types grouped.
17:47 Rich Arches, Grand Canyon, the southwest.
17:47 captbunzo if you seriously think people would appreciate it - I would be happy to work on it eventually.
17:47 Rich Rocky Mtn NP
17:47 captbunzo I browsed about earlier on some of the other webcams.
17:47 Rich How much band width does your provider give you? This could be a big time.
17:47 captbunzo and I kind of came to the conclusion that the Old Faithful webcam was going to be one of the few that people would want to chat over.
17:47 captbunzo as in - something HAPPENS.
17:48 captbunzo though the osprey one is good for that too!
17:48 captbunzo bandwidth - that's a sorta nice bit about it.
17:48 captbunzo first, I have lots.
17:48 Rich True, but the Osprey and other places that have activity would also work.
17:48 captbunzo second - once the page loads, there is very little traffic to my site.
17:48 captbunzo yep.
17:48 Rich Topics of conversation.
17:48 captbunzo yeah;
17:48 Rich k
17:49 captbunzo would you like to email me a list of all the cams you think people would actually chat over? as in the ones with activity?
17:50 captbunzo it wouldn't take much effort to add some more in.
17:50 Rich Putting HAL to work.
17:53 Graham wheres Turban? its due
17:56 Rich I'll run put some more money in the meter to restart it.
18:03 vw good evening all.
18:03 Graham hello
18:04 Rich This is really cool
18:04 Rich Hi vw
18:04 vw are we playing with the cam tonight?
18:04 vw at least I am not losing the stream after 30 seconds!
18:04 Rich captbunzo, this is even better now, I can run my capture program and still be able to chat in this room.
18:05 Rich Lois has had 350 people look at her Giantess vid on YouTube.
18:06 Graham not sure I have looked at it
18:06 Graham hum

18:13 Graham so now Ben caough us up to yesterday
18:13 Rich k
18:14 vw sorry everyone. Decided to finally eat today. breakfast lunch and dinner all at once. very efficient.
18:15 Rich Food, you mean you have to have food?
18:15 vw had to stop on my way home. Used to cook a lot. not so much anymore.
18:16 vw Saw the changes (thanks captbunzo!), already made my change!
18:16 vw I like Stream + Medium! sounds like a seafood and red meat order! (can you tell I am hungry?)
18:16 Rich Burger King, McDonald's, KFC?
18:17 Graham balanced diet?
18:17 vw Health food store: turkish bean salad.
18:17 Rich captbunzo, would there be a problem using Vista vs XP?
18:17 Rich yuk
18:18 vw yummmmmm
18:18 Rich What food group is that in. Now Chocolate is its on food group.
18:18 vw Rich, I have Vista on my laptop and it is working just fine.
18:18 Rich lol
18:18 captbunzo sorry for ignoring you
18:19 Rich ok, Lois can't get the large static only to load
18:19 captbunzo and I doubt vista vs xp will be a problem.
18:19 captbunzo why, you seeing one?
18:19 vw Chocolate is the one at the bottom that you are supposed to eat lots of!
18:19 Graham OF 1919
18:20 vw I just did large static only on a Vista operating system and it worked fine.
18:20 Rich Lois is trying to load on her Vista laptop.
18:20 Graham I run the no-cam version on Vista, works fine
18:21 Rich What browser, vw?
18:21 Rich Lois is using Firefox
18:21 vw right now I am using explorer
18:21 Graham IE 8 here
18:21 vw same
18:21 Graham even tho you didnt ask me
18:22 vw hahaha
18:22 captbunzo is it failing for Lois?
18:22 Loisb which Vista are you on 32 bit or 64 Victoria?
18:22 vw 64
18:22 Loisb and I am 32
18:22 Loisb am going to try IE
18:23 vw but that should actually work better.
18:23 vw 64 creates a lot of problems
18:27 Graham I have 64 bit Home Pro Vista, but you didn't ask me
18:29 Graham Plume 1929
18:29 Graham Grand must be at 11 hours now
18:34 Rich sorry minor problem with chicken.

18:39 vw oh my! seriously cool!
18:39 captbunzo now you can chat yellowstone, watch the birds, and watch old faithful at the same time.
18:39 captbunzo really I should create a seperate dropdown for each of the two viewing areas.
18:39 vw LoisB has GOT to get here. She will love it!
18:39 captbunzo they you could mix and match to your hearts content :)
18:40 captbunzo ah - that reminds me to test browser compatibility
18:41 vw Hi cb. Check out what captbunzo did for us!
18:41 Rich Lois is doing a massive clean up, and defrag. She processed a lot of images today.
18:42 vw are you gonna let her look over your shoulder?
18:42 Rich hi cb
18:42 Rich always.
18:42 cb Wow capt. that is WAY cool!
18:42 cb The Osprey are____________
18:43 Rich Lois votes for the two to be together like you have it now. Faster finding and loading.
18:43 Rich Even if she can't get there from here. lol
18:44 Rich The tooth fairy has stolen Lois' water bottle now.
18:45 Rich Must be time to call it a day.
18:46 Rich Lois says "Didn't have my nap today, vw."
18:46 vw me neither LoisB.
18:46 vw Day wudda been better with it.
18:46 vw Judge's just get cranky when you sleep through hearings.
18:46 letsgocards any chicks
18:47 Graham Turban...
18:47 letsgocards any chicks or bis
18:47 Rich captbunzo, the static only view - the static image is shorter now.
18:48 captbunzo okie dokie.
18:48 captbunzo final permutations for the night.
18:48 captbunzo reload again - added an option for both static on old faithful and our birds. :)
18:48 Rich don't worry about it
18:48 captbunzo and static view only is shorter because I discovered I was accidentally cropping the right side of the image!
18:49 cb graham when are you leaving for the basin?
18:49 cb Carol here
18:49 Rich very nice, capbunzo
18:50 captbunzo thx!
18:50 Rich If you tell Graham that Giantess is going off, he will be there tomorrow. lol
18:50 cb Me too!
18:50 Graham oh thanks for reminding me Carol.....50 days today :)
18:50 captbunzo and yes, I am definitely going to have to eventually split the left and right media display selection into two menus.
18:50 captbunzo but that's definitely another day
18:51 Rich More than enough effort for one days work.
18:51 Graham you have got to tell me its going to go tomorrow for me to be there in time
18:51 captbunzo wish me luck - testing in IE and Chrome
18:51 Graham I have seen the late stuff, but want to see the start
18:51 Rich you got it captbunzo
18:52 vw captbunzo: I have had problems in Chrome for a while. Just stopped using it for viewing webcam.
18:52 captbunzo woohoo... chrome works for me!
18:53 vw hey! theres two of me. cudda used that earlier today. But still no vid. back to just one.
18:53 captbunzo damn! internet explorer sucks...
18:53 vw everything working fine in my ie.
18:53 captbunzo really?
18:53 Graham actually its 40 days!
18:53 Graham yipee
18:53 vw and yet, yes, i agree
18:53 captbunzo I get an error....
18:53 cb Great! We are thinking of going in Oct Columbus holiday may be Labor day. Can't decide
18:53 captbunzo what version of ie, vw?
18:53 Rich everything is fine in firefox, xp and static cam only.
18:53 cb 40 days is even better
18:53 vw 8.
18:54 vw able to switch between easily.
18:55 Graham anyone going for F&M on Wed?
18:55 Rich This is really nifty, I'm recording both the chat room and the cam. Now they will be in sync when I go back and try and learn all there is that is taught.
18:56 Rich Now when the teacher asks what something is I will be able to reference.
18:56 Rich coool
18:56 vw heard Tara back in YNP today or tomorrow?
18:56 Graham I will have to tart reporting eruptions in code then
18:56 Graham shes heading there
18:57 cb Rich. You still need to go to the Park!!!!!! Thats where the teaching begins
18:57 Rich The way you do it now is code enough.
18:57 vw sure she will be watching and reporting!
18:57 Graham yeah she and Dean will probably do the night watch too
18:58 Graham but hopefully they will erupt in daylight
19:00 Graham but they have had several intervals of 4-5 days, so its about time they did something different
19:00 Graham like wait till the weekend when VW can see them
19:00 vw please don't say that! If Wednesday, I was thinking good for Sunday!
19:01 vw this time I promise to be on the right side of the road closure!
19:01 Graham I was thinking it would be Monday, but SUnday would be good
19:02 vw just wondering how often I can turn to the former spousal unit to watch the dogs before he says no...
19:02 Rich hi guest381350
19:02 Graham haha
19:02 vw he's a nice guy.
19:02 vw lucky for me?
19:03 Graham if he loks after the dogs - yes
19:03 Rich that he is former or that he is nice?
19:03 vw both!
19:03 Rich g
19:03 vw he owes me a few favors...
19:04 Rich I think captbunzo has found a replicator machine.
19:04 vw we have three captbunzo's. thought you were done with the permutations tonight captain!
19:04 Rich It is time for you to go to bed captbunzo. This is your FATHER speaking.
19:04 captbunzo IE bug crept up and bit me.
19:04 Rich Goto bed.
19:04 Graham I postes that I am down to 40 days on FB and my sister is confused, doesn't now what I mean :)
19:05 vw hope you clarified? Might scare her!
19:05 Rich Sisters can be dense sometimes. I can say that because mine has already gone to bed.
19:05 vw ;P
19:05 Rich g
19:06 Graham Turban
19:06 Rich Again???
19:06 Rich That's where you came in isn't it?
19:06 Graham bout time Grand did something!
19:07 vw thats what i was saying Saturday. see Ben's report had it going off about 20 minutes after I had to hit the road. :'(
19:07 Graham coming up on 12 hours if it doesn't go now
19:09 Graham Daisy 2009ie
19:12 Rich Seems I have to pay for my earlier remark, make a trip to the basement freezer for ice cream. Then all the way ack upstairs with "her" bowl of ice cream. lol
19:12 Rich brb
19:13 Graham haha
19:13 vw Graham - saw your 'clarification'. are you sure that is enough?
19:13 Graham we will see how smart she is :)
19:15 Graham I used a smiley face on my comment
19:15 vw to appease her?
19:15 Graham to let her know I was smiling
19:16 Graham Plate 2015ie
19:17 Rich Sisters are terribly unforgiving.
19:17 vw even when you bring them ice cream?
19:17 Graham yeah but mine is 1500 miles away
19:17 Rich Well she did smile.
19:18 vw Graham might have to try some treats too!
19:18 Rich Especially since the ice cream was my idea.
19:18 Graham I will send her something on FB
19:18 Rich a Geyser?
19:20 captbunzo ok... NOW I am done :)
19:20 captbunzo fixed the ie bug
19:21 captbunzo and one other small thing that I found.

19:28 Rich So's a volcano in the Rift Valley in Africa
19:28 vw we must be on grand watch. I keep nodding off.
19:28 Graham its intervals are hetting longer, soon be longer than Beehive!
19:28 vw did that in the basin saturday. Afraid I was going to fall off the bench into the sinter!
19:29 Graham Oblong is my favorite nap spot but the boardwalk bounces a bit too much
19:29 vw inspiration point would be good nap location
19:30 Graham there it is
19:30 Graham Turban :)
19:30 Graham cant feel Oblong thumps there
19:30 Graham come on Grand
19:31 Graham lots of Turban steam....

19:31 Graham may be a Vent start?
19:32 Graham grrrrr
19:33 vw for a second there....
19:34 vw looked good with lots of steam.
19:34 Graham yeah...was hoping for Grand 4min after Turban
19:34 Graham but nope
19:35 vw we should be able to see at least one more cycle before sunset.
19:36 Graham yeah probably an hour before really dark but I won't last that long

July 21st, 2009 View July’s Logs

05:10 CC This morning times for geyser eruption
05:10 CC Plume 5:53
05:10 CC Little cub 5:55
05:10 CC OF 6:04
05:44 vw Nice chilly morning at OF: 36 F at 0600 according to NOAA mesowest.
05:44 CC morning VW
05:45 vw good morning cc. see you have had the cam for a while.
05:45 CC what are your plans for the day
05:45 CC yes, I have been on the cam for sometime and expect to be on most of the day
05:45 vw work. then some more work. Cleaning night with teenager. I lead such an exciting life.
05:45 vw All the gentlemen have left you with the chore today?
05:46 CC sorry you will miss the remote program which officially starts today
05:46 CC If Beehive keeps to the 12 hour plus schedule it may have gone early this morning
05:47 vw I will be in the office a lot after the early morning, so still might be able to catch it. Not unusual for me to have cam running while I am working at the office.
05:47 vw just depends how far behind i am!
05:48 vw Looking at Ben H's report, BH probably went just before you got on this morning? How unusual for it to not wait for you!
05:50 CC Derek will be away for most of the day today
05:51 vw When you have the cam, do you take regularly scheduled breaks? Thats a lot of sitting and working at the control when you are there most of the day.
05:52 vw captbunzo's changes are great. We were having fun with him last night as he was still working them.
05:52 CC I do get up periodically walk around and continue to check on the computer
05:53 CC I would love to do some quilting but I don't think i will be able today
05:54 CC Tomorrow I will not be on the computer as I have to go up to Boston
05:54 CC grandkids calling
05:54 vw I would think that would be a great thing to be doing while operating the controls.
05:55 vw when you are back: how old are gk's? mine too young to call: 2yo, 3 mths, and 2 weeks! all live far far away too.
05:56 CC I meant that they need a sitter tomorrow
05:56 vw When you are in Boston you could call on my new granddaughter! They live in Charleston.
05:56 vw gotcha
05:56 vw have fun!
05:56 CC They are 7 years and 3 years old
05:56 vw Oooh, still seriously fun ages!
05:57 CC how often do you get to the east coast
05:57 vw rare. Last trip April 08.
05:57 CC well, if you decide to come east let me know and maybe we can get together
05:57 vw Trying to figure out how and when I could go this summer. Would love to meet Gyneth.
05:57 vw and her parents of course too. X-D
05:58 vw will definitely let you know.
05:58 vw how far are you from Boston?
05:58 CC 1 1/2 hours
05:58 CC make that 2 hours
05:59 CC it is 1 1/2 hours to my daughters in Wayland MA
05:59 vw I don't know that I could live on the east coast. I love ethnic food too much and find that when I am there all I do is eat.
06:00 vw so when you come west, do you fly into SLC or Bozeman? have heard most people prefer SLC because of cost.
06:00 vw hi cb!
06:00 CC If we fly it is usually Bozeman. But we have been driving the last few times
06:00 cb Hi Ladies
06:00 vw this is our usual early morning (for cb and me anyway!) coffee klatch..
06:01 CC My son lives in Nebraska and we visit
06:01 cb lol
06:01 vw ok. I was going to say that is a long drive!
06:01 CC i hate to fly
06:01 cb YEp I slept in this morning
06:01 vw I have been wishing I could do the drive. One of my other kids lives in the Twin Cities. Two grandkids there.
06:01 CC I was looking for you early CB
06:02 vw me too cb. very rare. up in the middle of the night though so cut myself some slack.
06:02 CC My son did his residency in the twin cities
06:02 cb Sleeping! It cooled off down here
06:02 CC I loved Minnesota
06:02 vw my daughter is looking at either Boston or more likely Chicago for hers in a year. That would make driving the I90 coridor worth it!
06:03 cb Grand is beautiful this morning
06:03 CC I think that may have been Turban
06:03 vw lotsa steam this am, cb. Temps at OF were just above freezing. oh to be there...
06:04 cb oh does that sound nice!!! SOOOOO done with the heat
06:04 CC Maybe even Oblong
06:04 cb Ah it is steamy
06:06 cb Craig called He's putting the info in the mail today. As soon as I recieve it It'll be in the return mail to him!
06:06 cb gotta get my coffee. brb
06:07 vw you log on BEFORE you get coffee?!?! All I can do before getting my first cuppa is get the dogs out the door! That I can do with my eyes closed.
06:07 vw cc: when you have gk duty, do you stay over?
06:08 vw I have found that here a four hour drive is nothing because we really don't have traffic. Traffic in the east is the very definition of it. So different.
06:09 cb Yep! Typing is a challange before coffee!
06:10 vw beautiful static of OF steam.
06:10 vw everything is a challenge before coffee!
06:10 CC VW I usually do stay over to make the visit longer
06:11 vw Waking to gk's bouncing on your bed has got to be a blast. i am looking forward to that someday.
06:12 CC I think I am getting sick though and may change my mind and send my husband tomorrow instead. My throat is very scratchy
06:12 cb How many G-kids do you all have? We have 10!!!
06:12 CC 5 grand kids
06:12 vw oh. ick. we have lots of strep type stuff going around here this summer. very odd. Take care!
06:12 vw 3 here.
06:13 cb I babysit 2 of them on Mondays and Tuesdays! Its a blast...but gets tiring
06:16 cb Did you see the new addition to the chat room? Lots of options in the Page view bar!
06:17 cb Capt B was busy yesterday!
06:18 vw yes. we were playing with it last night with captbunzo. had fun. before he had to go to bed. :D
06:19 cb The Osprey are great fun to watch!
06:20 vw and all the options makes it not necessary to have so many windows open on my computer! am sure my processor appreciates that.
06:21 cb I'll be back in a bit. Bill's turn at the computer before he goes to work! (One reason why I get up earlier)
06:22 cb If I miss you all later, have a great day. Chow for now!
06:33 CC OF 7:32
06:34 vw good steamy one!
06:37 vw Park forecast: hi 60's to low 70's. 20 percent chance of thunderstorms in the afternoon. Perfect temps. Long term forecast doesn't show much chance of rain for the next week.
06:38 CC morning Rich

06:38 Rich Hi vw
06:39 Rich ?Grotto ie 07:40 wc

06:41 vw have a good day everyone!
06:42 CC see you later
06:49 Rich Beehive ie 05:03:37 wc

13:20 HAL yes it would
13:20 captbunzo woohoo! thanks again Ranger George
13:20 CC yesterday Lion erupted during his talk
13:20 cb Thanks George
13:20 Jason Firefox good show
13:20 captbunzo I think Ranger George needs to make an appearance in our chatroom :)
13:21 Derek Paul, is there anyway I can disable the click the occures everytime a page reloads?
13:21 captbunzo yep, good show indeed. I'll have capture software setup next time so that I can record and youtube it.
13:21 Derek I'm using IE8
13:21 captbunzo which view are you using?
13:21 Derek Stream only
13:22 captbunzo ummm. then why is the page reloading?
13:22 cb Mine is doing the same thing
13:22 Derek I see the blue bar flash accross the bottom when the click happens
13:23 Derek It didn't used to happen
13:24 captbunzo I have IE7 installed and get no clicking
13:24 Jason Firefox i use firefox
13:24 Derek It seems to happen when the static cam refreshes even when we don't have it selected
13:25 captbunzo yep - that probably means the static cam page is still refreshing, even tho it is hidden.
13:25 captbunzo I can fix that for when it is hidden - I just need to set the page to a URL that doesn't refresh.
13:25 Derek It's very loud when we have the volume turned up for the broadcast
13:27 HAL bye - hal is going home
13:27 HAL laater
13:28 captbunzo okie dokie derek - give the page a full reload and tell me if I seem to have fixed the clicking.
13:29 Derek It seems quiet
13:35 Derek Finaly Castle erupts
13:35 captbunzo yeah for castle! :)
13:35 Derek But only after they turned off the other cam
13:35 captbunzo so, during the presentation I take it they are using a handheld cam?
13:36 Derek On a tripod

15:50 Graham ok, see you
15:58 Graham OF 1657
16:36 Graham Plume 1736
16:55 Taylor hey :) asl eerybody?
17:04 Graham Daisy 1803
17:19 cb Hi all
17:19 Graham hello
17:20 cb evening graham
17:20 Graham you missed BH
17:20 Graham you too, nice one
17:20 cb Yep! on g-kid duty. went outside to brave the heat and play in the sprinklers
17:21 Graham ah, thats fun :)
17:22 Graham Grand is due this evening
17:22 cb I keep missing BH lately!
17:23 Graham Lois got it at 0508 today too
17:23 cb We're thinking of a very short trip to the park in Sept or Oct to hopefully see F&M.
17:24 Graham why not a very long trip instead?
17:25 cb /:)work etc.
17:26 Graham short trip for F&M is risky unless you are there in the night too
17:27 cb can't decide between laborday or columbus,.....thinking columbus. Yep, know that I'd do a night shift...w/bearspray
17:28 Graham hum...Labor Day is busier. Columbus day quieter but could be colder and may not be other night-watchers
17:29 cb Does the colder weather effect F&M or is it just the water levels. YOur opinion?
17:30 cb please
17:30 Graham its ok in Oct I think, just the spring high water messes with it
17:31 Graham OF 1830
17:33 Graham so will F&M go tomorrow?
17:35 cb thats what I thought. labor day would have more folks "on watch". however we could get a room at the Inn for $95.00 in Oct. no rooms over Labor day.
17:35 Graham yeah, they have vacancies late
17:35 Graham I have a cabin over Labor Day
17:36 cb Hum.....tomorrow the 22nd.......went on the 17/18.....I think not.
17:36 cb better book your plane ticket, cuz since I said that out loud it'll go
17:36 Graham it could do, late in the day if it does similar intervals
17:36 Graham haha
17:37 Graham too late for me to get there tonight...
17:38 cb could...another midnight or there abouts.
17:39 Graham Plume 1839
17:40 cb Yep we can't decide. Bill needs to put in for leave. Also thinking that if we stayed her over Labor Day I could assist w cam duties as you'll be gone
17:40 cb here
17:41 Graham ah thats thoughtful of you :)
17:41 Graham is CC planning another trip then too?
17:41 cb Maybe, she's undecided!
17:43 cb We've never stayed at the Inn! That's appealing to me, even if it only for 1 night. Then tent camp at Madison.
17:43 cb Ruffin it
17:44 Graham hope you get good weather
17:44 Graham Inn is nice, good to be able to walk out and sit in the lobby
17:44 Graham rooms in old house are basic and can be noisy and creaky and pipes cn be noisy
17:44 cb Room is in the old section. I like that!
17:44 Graham may beb better now but I have not stayed there recently
17:45 Graham its worth a stay
17:45 cb What about the.............vermin
17:45 Graham within radio range. at Madison you are out of range which is risky
17:45 cb Thats the BIG PLUS
17:46 Graham I have not seen any in the old house but have in cabins and the wings
17:46 cb specially trying to get a F & M
17:46 cb Do you stay in the cabins?
17:47 Graham usually stay in Lodge cabin, nice to be close to the hill
17:47 Graham have stayed in all OF lodgings tho
17:48 Graham hard to fly with camping gear and I like being close
17:49 cb Would love to stay in Lodge cabins. Internet says their closed in Oct
17:50 Graham yeah they usually close 2 weeks after Labor Day
17:53 cb After talking w you, I'm thinking Oct! for all the above reasons
17:53 Graham well I hope you work out something good
17:54 cb ty
17:54 cb I bet your get anxious....in the thirties today?
17:55 Graham Giant likes the dall too :)
17:55 Graham fall
17:55 cb hummmmmmmm!!!!
17:55 Graham haha yeah, change my white board to 5 weeks tomorrow since its mid week
17:56 cb great! I'm glad for you!!

08:45 Rich Morning sparekitty
08:46 sparekitty hey rich; looks like i'm already late--even missing OF.
08:47 Rich Somedays are like that. g
08:47 Rich just think with shorter intervals on Beehive, more chance for you to see it this afternoon.
08:48 Jason Firefox good morning all
08:48 Rich Hi Jason
08:48 Derek Hi Jason
08:48 sparekitty oh well. it's still great to be able to pretend i'm at UGB, enjoying the sights.
08:48 Jason Firefox hi Rich and Derek and Kitty
08:48 sparekitty hey jason. what's up today?
08:48 Rich yes
08:48 Jason Firefox Humpday =) Almost to friday!
08:49 Rich I'd start Beehive watch at 16:00 today, but I'm not going to be near a computer.
08:49 Rich oh well.
08:52 Rich sparekitty, was reading up on Sue Kieffer, co author with James Westphal, she was also at CalTech.
08:53 sparekitty i saw that; but she's no longer here either.
08:53 Rich He sure was a fasinating man.
08:53 Rich Not, nice of these people to move on. g
08:53 Rich How do we track them down, if they keep changing jobs.
08:53 sparekitty that's what they do, especially those like kieffer--she was a grad student.
08:54 Rich ah
08:54 sparekitty google is a wonderful thing. if kieffer has an academic appointment anywhere, googld will find her.
08:54 Rich I haven't tryied her just by herself, guess that is this mornings excercise.
08:55 Rich Found her at the U of Illinnois in 2008.
09:14 sparekitty ok, where did th ecam go??
09:18 Rich off in to cyberspace.
09:24 Derek 10:24 Plume
09:46 Derek 10:46 O.F.
09:54 Rich hi captbunzo
09:59 CC Regarding the streaming cam
10:00 CC They are aware of the programs and they are trouble shooting right now to find the problem
10:00 CC they will try to get it up as soon as possible
10:00 Derek ok
10:22 Derek 11:22 Plume
10:27 captbunzo hi all. :)
10:28 Derek Hi Paul :-)
10:28 Derek :P
10:43 Derek I'm going for tea now
11:23 Rich Gotta run, have to hit the road for Eastern Washington. Be back late this evening.
11:24 Rich A Demain
11:24 Rich bye
11:44 CC Streaming is back up...at least temporaily...they still need to work on the problem
12:27 Derek Back
12:55 Derek 13:55 O.F.
12:56 Derek Hi guests
13:55 Derek-cam Hi kitty
13:55 sparekitty hey derek, how's it going?
13:56 Derek-cam Been helping Paul test a new room
13:56 sparekitty do we need another room? or is it for something else?
13:56 Derek-cam It's a replacement because we keep getting these **** visitors on meebo
13:57 sparekitty i didn't think chat rooms could avoid "those" type of visitors. they don't bother me much, i figure they just don't have a life and ignore them. i guess they could potentially be offensive though.
13:58 Derek-cam When the testing's done, it will simply replace this one. Same address.
13:58 sparekitty cool
13:59 Derek-cam And the banning would actually work if needed. Unlike the meebo.
14:00 sparekitty sounds good to me!
14:07 Derek-cam My bedtime now. Graham should be along soon.
14:10 sparekitty see you tomorrow, derek.
14:15 captbunzo hi sparekitty
14:16 captbunzo I didn't want to go away from meebo.... but their support has been beyond rubbish...
14:24 sparekitty hey there! whatever works for you is great. i, for one, greatly appreciate your eforts
14:24 sparekitty efforts
14:39 captbunzo thx sparekitty!
14:39 captbunzo sneak preview....
http://yellowstone.paulthompson.net/camchat/index-…
14:39 captbunzo fyi - the pageview menu won't actually work right for that page yet.
14:43 sparekitty cool. but i have to close the other view (the new one) because my computer will not support both windows open.
14:43 sparekitty will we use the same URL?
14:43 captbunzo yes, the url will be the same!
14:44 captbunzo index-new.php is just the address I use for, um, testing :)
14:58 Graham Lion 1557

15:53 sparekitty those people have no idea..

15:54 sparekitty not fair!
15:55 cb There reading but not looking at what their reading about...waiting for someone to point at indicatior
15:55 sparekitty or at least LOOK in the right direction
15:55 cb There, the big guy pointed in the right direction
15:56 Graham someone knows whats going on
15:56 CC Beehive will go in under 12 hours
15:56 Graham not so much wind today
15:56 sparekitty i'm sure you're right, graham. i gues i'm just overdue for a visit...
15:56 Graham yep I agree CC :)
15:57 Graham I would narrow that prediction to within 15min probably CC
15:57 sparekitty or soner.
15:57 sparekitty sooner
15:58 Graham hard to see it on static cam
16:03 cb No don't leave!!!!

16:18 Graham Ben says F&M are eruptin
16:19 Graham that would make it 1718ie
16:19 sparekitty i've never seen a f&m before...
16:19 cb can u move the cam toward F&M please
16:22 Graham I see no steam on static cam tho
16:23 Graham pointing at F&M now but no steam, too warm
16:23 cb neither do i
16:23 Graham theres a touch of steam
16:25 cb I think I see steam coming from the V in the trees?
16:26 Graham with this wind direction its coming up a bit to the right I thibk, but nothing much to see this time :(
16:26 cb Very hard to tell. I'd wanted to see so I kinda know where to point at.....in the future!
16:27 Graham sets it up well for VW on Sunday
16:27 Graham its at that V in the trees, where the ridge line drops off
16:27 cb Yep got it
16:28 Graham we get Daisy instead at 1728ie
16:32 Graham brb
16:43 vw you guys talking about me?
16:43 Graham yeah, are you excited?
16:43 vw Hurray that F&M went today. Now I have a good mark for the interval. Think I am good for Sunday!
16:43 vw I have signal in the UGB, I could sure call to let you know when to turn the cam!
16:44 Graham most have been 4-5 days. Early Sunday morning is the best bet
16:45 vw Think later? Went sometime early early Saturday. That would be about 4.5 days?
16:45 vw think that might put it Sunday evening.
16:45 vw Will take a suit with me so I can go straight to the office Monday morning!
16:45 Graham 4 1/2 days would be 5am Sunday
16:46 Graham oh wait
16:46 Graham yeah Monday
16:46 vw okay. was thinking i wasn't counting on my fingers very well.
16:46 Loisb Hello
16:46 Graham hum, so late Sunday maybe
16:46 vw Hi LoisB
16:46 vw Maybe I will take Monday off?
16:46 Loisb Monday off is always good as I recall
16:47 Graham yep that would be best :)
16:47 vw But if it is 4.5 days, night time eruption and NOTHING to be seen on cam. :(
16:47 Graham if it waits just after 5am it can be seen, bigger steam then
16:47 Graham we couldn't see a thing today
16:48 vw yeah, and fireworks are banned in the Park.
16:48 cb I vote for you to take monday off......What the heck
16:48 Graham haha they go of f all over the place
16:48 vw there are SOOOO many reasons I like everybody here!
16:48 vw g
16:48 Graham don't wake me up Monday AM tho
16:49 vw ok
16:49 cb wake me up!!!!!!
16:49 vw you got it! would call and wake anybody who asked!
16:49 Graham could do a 4 day tho, or 3 1/2 - about time it sped up
16:50 vw it has been somewhat erratic, but not sure we have had a 3.5 day interval this year?
16:50 Graham glad Ben got to see it this time, he has missed a lot of eruptions working in the park
16:50 Graham not yet this year. it has been very regular tho
16:50 cb Did he call you?
16:50 vw was he off work?
16:50 Graham he posted on Facebook from his cell phone. Posted the loock and then that he was watching his favorite geysers
16:51 Graham yeah he was there for the start
16:51 cb good for himj!!
16:51 vw cool!
16:51 Graham yeah he was getting unhappy having missed them all so far
16:51 cb Really enjoying his posts lately
16:51 vw he is a very nice young man.
16:52 Graham yeah I spent some time waiting for Giant with him and his family
16:52 Graham didn't get to see it with them tho but they got to see it later
16:52 cb Very, gave us a bunch of info on F&M in the spring.
16:53 Graham hi Lois, congrats on 2 Beehives today
16:53 Loisb Thanks Graham - was sure lucky today
16:54 Loisb we should get to see two tomorrow also
16:54 Graham sometime its gona change back to normal....
16:54 Loisb maybe this is normal now
16:56 Loisb am going to try and convince Richard that the best way back to CA is though YNP
16:56 Graham haha.......you wish this was normal behavior! Don't you remember what it was like earlier this year?
16:56 cb I am really enjoying this "normal"!!!!! It can stay like this
16:56 Loisb sure do
16:56 Graham or a few years ago when you had to guess which day it would erupt this week?
16:57 Graham yeah, thats the scenic route from Seattle to CA, via Wyoming
16:57 Loisb I think from Oct though Jan I only got to see one in Jan - course I was still working then
16:57 Loisb of course it is - only a little detour
16:58 Graham I got ot see 4 in Jan :) Thanks to Derek, CC and Pat
16:58 Loisb my hours were so awful I was lucky to see the one
16:59 Graham you should join me there in Jan :)
16:59 Loisb I was thinking about a winter trip - have always wanted to do photos there in winter
17:00 Loisb one of the photo groups I follow had a workshop there last winter
17:00 Graham ah, good
17:00 Graham its a whole different world
17:01 Loisb hard to convince Richard to detour that way then though - we would have to get a 4 wheeler
17:01 Graham yeah. expensive staying in the park too but not so bad for me since I dont have to rent a car
17:02 Loisb guess it would be a tad chilly in the tent that time of year
17:02 Graham yep but the Snow Lodge is quite toasty
17:03 Loisb will practice up on my whinning
17:03 Graham I have noit been there in a real cold spell but I have a lot of gear that should make it tolerable
17:03 Graham got rather hot this last Jan
17:04 Loisb we have plenty of cold weather gear so that's no problem
17:04 Graham -40 degree cold?
17:05 Graham worst I had was only -15F
17:05 Graham did make my glasses steam up so I had to walk with them off
17:06 Loisb wonder if that same stuff you use on windshields would work on glasses
17:06 Loisb -40 is not my kind of weather - though my sleeping bag will go to -20 it says
17:06 Loisb not sure about my down coat
17:07 Graham I have the 1300 weight thinsulate boots
17:07 Graham I mean 1200
17:07 Loisb good stuff
17:07 Graham real heavy but I can walk well in them
17:09 Loisb I would probably need new boots, think my feet got wider while working at Safeway
17:09 Graham Plume 1809
17:10 Graham I spent a lot before going but since I keep going back its evening out the cost
17:11 Graham OF 1810
17:11 Loisb nice one
17:15 Loisb do we have something over to the left? lots of heads looking that way
17:16 Graham lots of people
17:16 Loisb k
17:17 vw best time for dinner reservations in the Park: 20 minutes before an OF eruption.
17:17 Loisb am sure
17:17 Graham hehe..same in winter - show up when OF is predicted
17:18 vw amazing how that works!
17:18 Graham yep...seen the geyser, lets go
17:19 Loisb one gush and they are off like a herd of sheep
17:19 Graham of course same can be said of gazers....
17:19 vw g
17:19 Graham more like stampeeding bulls sometimes tho
17:19 Loisb speaking of dinner - the cat is sceaming at me - brb
17:19 vw and gazers will leave the food behind to see an eruption!
17:20 Graham Feather is on........ watch out here come the gazers from Lower Hams
17:20 Graham including me :)
17:20 Graham yeah well if Beehive indicator starts I usually just get it to go at the Lower Hams :) Food is important too
17:21 vw mommy duty calls. karate tonight with the punk. happy virtual gazing!
17:24 Loisb have fun VC
17:24 Loisb vw
17:25 Loisb my cat got me all confused - or so I will claim
17:42 Graham so where is Rich tonight?
17:43 Loisb He and my eldest son went over to Eastern WA to pick up the DIL and grandson
17:43 Graham ah yes he said
17:43 Graham sure he hasn't gone on to YNP
17:45 Loisb think the DIL would track him down if he tried it - tis over 100 over on that side of the hill
17:46 Graham did he take the cleaning gear?
17:46 Loisb I did send them with paper towels and wipes
17:47 Loisb going to have to start a charitable organization for the cleaning of park cams
17:49 Graham hum..I was thinking of CHaratable Organization for the Cleaning Of Lenses At ThE parks
17:49 Graham haha the P didn't work out too well
17:49 Loisb coco
17:49 Loisb cocol
17:49 Loisb need a better acro
17:50 Graham well you can take CH
17:50 Loisb folks don't donate unless there is a catchie title
17:50 Graham but who wouldn't give money for chocolate?
17:50 Loisb I could probably get a few folks for that
17:51 Loisb I did happen to mention to the ranger at Volcano when I was there in May that the same dirt spot had been on the cam since Oct
17:52 Graham and did it go any good?
17:53 Loisb yep but now they have moved it closer to the crater rim and the last goop got it again
17:53 Graham ahhhh
17:53 Graham so you gave the ranger chocolate?
17:53 Loisb if YNP had a counter on the static cam page they would see that there are a lot of us who visit it
17:53 Loisb no but I did offer directions on getting to one of the parks he wanted to visit
17:54 Graham Plate 1853ie
17:55 Loisb that the burst of steam behind OF from my angle?
17:55 Graham yes, to the left
17:55 Loisb k
17:56 Graham wind seems to be picking up
17:56 Loisb Richard just walked in
17:56 Graham hi Richard
18:00 Loisb he has managed to take off his shirt and power on his pc
18:01 Graham tmi
18:02 Loisb too bad
18:02 Loisb idc
18:03 captbunzo hi richard
18:04 Loisb not that Graham wants to know but Richard is still working his way here
18:05 Graham did you tell him that he didn't miss anything?
18:05 Graham is he still hoping to see Beehive before sunset?
18:06 Loisb g
18:06 Loisb no - he knows I got to see them both - the stick has been passed
18:06 Loisb he will see them before sunset here
18:07 Graham haha thats not the same
18:07 Loisb why not - static is static
18:08 Graham ok..but you should make him sit through several hours of OF and plume
18:08 Rich Good Evening, captbunzo
18:08 Graham hey Rich
18:08 Rich Good evening, Graham
18:08 Graham sorry to hear they wouldn't let you drive on to YNP
18:09 Loisb you mean I should have run the capture all day?
18:09 Graham but I hear you are coming out in Jan
18:09 Rich And the Beehives I'm looking at are as "live" as I normally get. g
18:09 Rich Don't worry, I get to "sit" thru those.
18:10 Rich hi riccardinho101
18:11 Graham Plume 1911
18:13 Loisb Richard seems to have gotten to see it but i didn't - missed a refresh
18:14 Graham theres a flying osprey
18:15 Rich Plume Loves me.
18:16 Graham Castle 1915ie
18:16 Graham haha
18:16 Loisb must have been Dad coming in with dinner
18:16 Graham CC showed up today and I think the indicator started 1min later
18:16 Loisb but this morning she left 2 mins before BH started
18:19 Graham she said she stayed in the email she sent me
18:19 Loisb all I know is what the log says
18:20 Loisb she never posted BH so I wandered over to let folks know it had gone and VW had just missed it
18:21 Graham oh ic
18:21 Loisb didn't want folks watching for it like some did yesterday
18:23 Rich Little Squirt ie 19:22:24 wc
18:23 Graham what time will you start watching tomorrow?
18:24 Loisb probably around 4 my time - 5 mdt
18:24 Loisb depends on when the cat gets me up
18:24 Loisb but I don't expect BH till after 6 mdt
18:25 Graham why?
18:25 Loisb cause
18:25 Graham it was earlier tonight
18:25 Loisb earlier than what
18:26 Graham yesterday
18:26 Loisb right when I was expecting it
18:26 Loisb yes
18:26 Loisb but I don't think about yesterday
18:27 Graham so it might be earlier tomorrow
18:27 Loisb will wait for Richard to do his spread sheet so I can do a graph
18:27 Graham but what do I know..I have never seen 2 beehives in one day
18:27 Graham ah..where is HAL when you need him!
18:27 Loisb I have seen several - but then I retired so I can
18:28 Rich Some one on geyser list was saying Beehive intervals are less than 12 hr.
18:28 Loisb why would you think it would be earlier?
18:29 Loisb guess my clocks must all keep funny time then - a couple have been less than 12 but mostly 13
18:29 Loisb will wait for Richards spread sheet - g
18:30 Rich I just finished collecting times this morning. So haven't run the calculations.
18:30 Rich They are hand done. g
18:30 Rich Can't get a formula written to handle the 24 hr clock.
18:31 Graham Daisy 1930
18:31 Graham when was it this morning?
18:31 HAL Someone singing my "Song"?
18:31 HAL 05:40
18:32 HAL 05:42
18:32 HAL sorry
18:32 Graham and 1708 tonight
18:32 HAL was humming my song
18:32 Graham 11h32min interval
18:32 HAL 'correct oh GREAT ONE!
18:33 Graham 11h34min
18:33 Loisb yep
18:33 Graham no.
18:33 Graham doh
18:33 HAL Seems to be a close approximation of 11 h 30 m.
18:33 Graham 11h26min
18:33 Loisb or so
18:33 HAL hehe
18:33 HAL maybe
18:34 HAL Don't forget the days are getting shorter.
18:34 Loisb g
18:34 Graham so it was less than 12 hours today
18:34 Loisb you think?
18:35 Graham same interval would be 0423 tomorrow
18:35 Graham doh
18:35 Loisb we'll see
18:35 Graham make that 0434
18:36 Loisb and how many seconds
18:36 Graham yeah I know it will be 0601
18:36 Graham because Lois said so
18:36 Loisb g
18:37 HAL That is correct, Graham
18:37 HAL Goddess of the Highest Order. Queen to the Stars and Galaxies.
18:37 Loisb you going to be able to watch George tomorrow?
18:37 Loisb watch out hal I can reach out and touch you
18:38 HAL Excuse, me everyone, have to do a system wide diagnostic.
18:39 Loisb Multitasking is merely screwing up several things at once
18:39 Rich You have to remember that HAL was built before multiple processors.
18:40 Rich HAL does one thing at a time, but very quickly.
18:40 Loisb garbage in, garbage out
18:41 captbunzo oh my..... :)
18:41 Loisb whats that one back by the tree line behind bh from my view?

19:28 captbunzo specifically the replacement of meebo for a custom chat solution.

04:46 Derek Beehive 05:46
04:46 cb my timing was perfect
04:46 Derek CC missed it
04:47 cb I don't think she's feeling well
04:47 Derek She emailed me an hour or so ago
04:49 Derek It's 12:48 here. Wife's just preparing lunch

04:50 Derek Have you seen the replacement room that Pauls working on?
04:50 cb No?
04:50 Derek  
http://yellowstone.paulthompson.net/camchat/index-…
04:50 Derek It's non meebo so we shouldn't get unwelcome guests
04:51 cb that would be nice.
04:52 cb ty
04:53 cb well I'm glad I decided to look at the computer BEFORE I made coffee
04:53 Derek :)
04:54 cb That kinda looked like Pat. Is she in the basin
04:54 Derek I don't know
04:55 Derek Hey, notice the small spouter behind the walkway?
04:55 cb Yep. I've seen it before
04:56 cb I've wondered if its "that pathetic little hole" I've heard folks talking about?
04:56 Derek PLH is between OF and Anemome
04:57 cb ok
04:58 cb It's a cute spouter anyway.
04:58 cb You on for CC?

05:12 cb 05:46 I got up just in time to see it! Making coffee now!
05:28 Bookworm Lucky guy there. *grin*
05:31 Derek Hi Bookworm
05:31 Bookworm Hello.
05:31 Derek-cam Just got back from lunch
05:40 Derek-cam Hi vw
05:40 vw Good morning
05:41 cb Good Morning VW
05:41 vw Hi cb
05:42 vw Guess I should say "Hi to all!"
05:43 cb Did you see BH this am?
05:43 Derek-cam Yes, I called it
05:44 Derek-cam 05:46
05:44 vw I didn't. Up late so slept in
05:44 cb Ahhhh working late?
05:44 Derek-cam Sprinkler is lively
05:45 vw that and cleaning. all my weekend days spent in YNP and getting behind at home.
05:45 cb "grining" I bet
05:45 cb It sounds like you planning another trip for this weekend?
05:46 vw nice view of steam!
05:46 vw Sunday
05:47 Derek-cam Someone just grabbed the cam
05:47 cb Nice! Bill make reservations for Columbus Day weekend! Were going to do a quick trip
05:48 cb WOW what was that
05:48 vw Some weekend I need to go to look at woofs! Bison soon too: rut is coming. Another goring yesterday.
05:50 Derek-cam I think it must be CC on the cam
05:51 cb Thats kinda why we thought we'd try a short (5 day) trip. Hopefully see F&M and the Elk rut
05:52 cb Derek does that happen often?
05:55 vw Park is seeking comment on Mammoth to Norris road improvement.
http://parkplanning.nps.
Construction to start in 2012.
05:57 cb More pullouts. At Swan Lake
05:58 vw hahaha! widen road, more pullouts, parking. reroute along sensitive areas. delays but not closures.
05:59 vw I love sunrise as the the light hits the basin. Magical when the steam seems to change its character.
06:00 cb yep me too
06:26 Derek Plate 07:26
06:43 Derek Looks like CC aint ready to finish yet so I'm off downstairs for a while.
06:49 Rich Hello Everyone
06:50 vw Hi Rich
06:51 Rich Morning Victoria
06:51 vw I am still getting funny stops and starts on my stream view. Anyone else?
06:51 Rich Hi cb
06:51 Rich hi Derek
06:51 Rich Hi hot_guy
06:52 vw So Rich, LoisB suggested that maybe when you are ready to head home, you might want to take the long route through YNP. Any consideration? It would only add a few miles on to your trip!
06:53 Rich Lots of consideration.
06:53 Rich g
06:54 vw g
06:57 Rich I wouldn't worry about the cam on Tuesdays and Thursdays, due to the programs
06:57 Rich OF ie 07:56:28 wc
06:58 Rich The next the the NPS will tell us after the widening and fixing of the roads is that there are too many people visiting and want to restrict access.
07:00 Rich Leave the roads, crooked and narrow. Keeps the traffic flow down.
07:01 Rich I watched them do it to Yosemite. The road up from Fresno was a nice "scenic" trip, lots of curves and narrow thru the trees. They widden and flattened. 5 years later they start a campaign to limit access due to overcrowding.
07:01 Rich No you get to park outside the park and ride the tram in.
07:02 vw Sadly, too many people think the roads are meant to get them from point a to point b as FAST as possible, and that creatures have no right to be on them. :(
07:02 Rich yep
07:02 Rich Not that it was a good thing, but I remember driving thru the tree in Yosemite.
07:04 Rich Lois and I are off, going to the Locks to take photos, be back in about an hour.
07:07 vw I am off too. work calls. Good day to all.
08:06 Derek Hi Dave
08:08 Rich Hi Dave M.
08:08 Dave M Hi all.
08:08 Dave M I was just doing a quick check to see if you saw Beehive this morning.
08:08 Derek I saw it :-)
08:09 Dave M Excellent. It was early, so I wondered.
08:09 Derek I spotted it half way thru indicator
08:10 Derek Dave, do you like the high powered zoom? :-)
08:10 Dave M Yeah, it can be fun.
08:11 Dave M Is the feed going down every day or am I having trouble at my end?
08:11 Rich Dave M, we really liked your Giantess YouTube vid.
08:11 Dave M Thanks
08:11 Derek The feed does keep going down
08:11 Dave M Any idea why?
08:12 Derek Graig told CC they are troubleshooting it.
08:12 Derek Craig
08:12 Dave M I hope it will stay up for today's ranger talk. I lost segments of it last time.
08:13 Derek Well if the problem is in the VC, Tom will be there to look into it
08:13 Derek This Doubler that makes the zoom more powerfull. Is it a kind of digital zoom?
08:14 Dave M I hope they have luck troubleshooting. I've tried troubleshhoting problems like that before. It can be hard.
08:14 Derek I know you and the missus are into camcorders and video recording
08:16 Dave M Yep. In fact Tara is excited for me to see her video of F&M from yesterday. Only 15 days until she returns home.
08:17 Dave M Hopefully she'll get a couple more eruptions and I'll be able to edit something for Youtube.
08:19 Derek Looks like Oblong
08:20 Derek Dave, I got a new camcorder last week.
08:20 Derek Panasonic SDR-S26
08:20 Derek 70x optical zoom
08:20 Derek SD card
08:22 Dave M Nice
08:23 Derek I'd love to test that zoom from the observation point :P
08:23 Dave M If you haven't done so already, you might want to lookinto a backup battery.
08:24 Derek I have one :-)
08:24 Derek I'm also going to get another SD card
08:24 Dave M Good idea.
08:25 Derek I have a 4GB that gives almost 2 hours on standard play
08:25 Derek It also has XP, but to be honest I can't see much difference
08:29 Dave M Sorry, I was off reading about the camera. I'm cjealous.
08:29 Dave M A true 70x optical zoom -- WOW!
08:30 Derek £189
08:30 Derek uk pounds
08:30 Derek plus insurance
08:30 Dave M One reviewer did say that the image stabilization works well up to about 40x. Do you have a tripod?
08:31 Derek I do
08:31 Dave M of
08:31 Derek I aimed it out our attic window and zoomed in on th hospital clock tower nearly a mile away
08:32 Dave M Nice
08:32 Dave M When will you actually get out to really use it?
08:32 Derek Resting my hands on the window frame I could hold it quite steady
08:33 Derek We go to steam ralleys and also down the coast
08:33 Dave M In otehr words any plans to go to Yellowstone?
08:33 Rich Hi Jason
08:34 Derek I'd love to visit Yellowstone but with my wife's mobility problems it would not be fair on her
08:34 Dave M Yeah that's tough.
08:35 Derek I wonder where George and team will be broadcasting from today.
08:35 Derek Maybe same as Tuesday
08:36 Derek Dave, did you ever consider joining the cam operator team?
08:38 Derek You have the knowledge and experience, but I guess, not enough spare time.
08:38 Derek Going for cup of tea. Back in 10
08:38 Rich The schedule says that the morning programs will be on Historical buildings and the afternoon program will be on geysers.
08:39 Rich hb
08:40 Dave M Derek, I thought about joining the team but for a variety of reasons couldn't commit to set operating times.
08:41 Dave M Some day I hope I can arrange a time to help.
08:41 Dave M With that said, I've got to get to work. Bye all.
08:42 Derek Back
08:43 Derek with cup of tea :P
08:43 Rich wb
08:46 Jason Firefox Good morning
08:47 Derek Hi Jason
08:47 Jason Firefox Hey Derek, hows it going on the other side of the pond?
08:47 Derek Nice sunny afternoon
08:48 Jason Firefox It's going to be blistering here today
08:48 Derek 24c outside here
08:51 Jason Firefox going to be 38c + here today
08:51 Derek Too hot for me
08:51 Derek Roughly where are you?
08:51 Jason Firefox tell me about it.. that and humidity to make it muggy
08:51 Jason Firefox Southern California
08:52 Derek Where it never rains :-)
08:52 Jason Firefox It does, just thunderstorms during monsoons
08:52 Jason Firefox Just not often
08:53 Jason Firefox Like today, there's a chance at an afternoon t-storm
08:53 Jason Firefox one year it was everyday
08:54 Rich as long as there is rain and not much lightning.
08:55 Jason Firefox I want the lightning / thunder not the rain :P
08:55 Derek George and his team are setting up.
08:56 Jason Firefox too bad they dont go around in random locations.. i'm guessing it's cause of the highgain they have to use with LoS
08:57 Derek They use a beam antenna but I guess it needs a clear path to the temp VC
08:58 Derek Grand or Oblong?
08:58 Rich Grand
08:59 Derek Looking for bursts of water
09:00 Derek Yep it is Grand
09:01 Derek Do you have a start time?
09:01 Rich omp
09:03 Rich Grand ie 09:56:20 wc
09:03 Derek ok
09:03 Rich yw
09:04 Derek Quite a few gazers visit this room to read your times, so you're doing a good service :-)
09:05 Rich ty
09:06 Jason Firefox -nod- thats what I was thinking rich.. a clear line of sight
09:06 Jason Firefox they are probably right on the edge too
09:06 Rich I cheat, I take a grease pencil to my monitor, mark the location.
09:07 Rich g
09:07 Rich There is a differnt angle from here in Seattle. g
09:08 Rich anyone counting bursts?
09:08 Derek Hey Rich, are you line of sight to Mount St Helens?
09:08 Derek 2 bursts I think
09:09 Rich No, Mt. Rainier is between us. We can see Mt. Olypmus out the living room window.
09:09 Derek Wow
09:10 Jason Firefox Rainier is really pretty
09:10 Derek I occasionally check the St Helens web cam
09:10 Rich Usually only get to see Mt. Rainier a few days a year, due to haze
09:10 Jason Firefox Helens has been quiet since 2008 hasn't it?
09:11 Rich Great view of Mt. Rainier now on webcam
09:11 Derek I think it is still classed a active
09:11 Derek as
09:11 Rich It was declared dormant in Jan 2008
09:12 Rich At least that is what the Ranger told us last visit.
09:12 Rich Can hardly tell anything happened anymore, all the trees are around 30/40ft tall now.
09:13 Rich The crater is the only indicator you can see.
09:13 Jason Firefox  
http://vulcan.wr.usgs.gov/Volcanoes/Cascades/Curre…
09:13 Jason Firefox personally I always thought hood would be the next one to go
09:14 Jason Firefox but I was REALLY shocked when no one mentioned the swarming at Lassen Peak a couple months ago
09:16 Derek I used to chat with a guy in your general area Rich. He lived on Route 5 just north of Vancouver
09:16 Rich The thermal features at Mt. Lassen are interesting.
09:17 Derek He could see St Helens from his place
09:17 Rich Then he is in Vancouver WA. We are about half way between Vancouver BC, CA and Vancouver, WA, USA
09:18 Rich I was flying up here to Seattle when the July 18 1980 eruption went off. We got a great view of the plume from 30,000 feet.
09:18 Rich Somewhere I have film images of it.
09:19 Derek Little Cub ie

14:05 Derek-cam Hi CC
14:06 CC Hi
14:06 CC Just saw Lion
14:07 CC what did you think of the videos
14:07 Derek Did you see the broadcasts earlier?
14:07 CC live
14:07 CC yes
14:07 Derek Hehe, George didn't recognise Plate :-)
14:07 Derek It's gone 3 times today
14:07 CC I think they are getting better each time
14:08 Derek The audio was better
14:08 CC I noticed that but you must remember he has be out of the basin for years and has been up in Mammoth
14:09 CC he is really under alot of pressure doing this live withouth a script
14:09 Derek I am hoping they can move around a bit more, rather than use those same 2 places over again. Maybe there are technical reasons
14:09 Derek I want to explore the basin :-)
14:09 CC exactally
14:09 CC they only have a short range with the remote
14:10 CC it will be the same program for the rest of the year
14:10 CC next year they will add a few more
14:10 Derek I see they use quite a large antenna on a stick
14:11 Derek Don't forget next wednesday.
14:11 CC I thought she was going into the hospital on Monday
14:11 Derek 29th
14:12 CC okay Wednesday then

14:12 Derek And the hospital is 20 miles from here
14:12 CC what is happening with the knee
14:12 Derek August 4th
14:13 CC okay
14:13 Derek Same day as our 30th Wedding aniversary
14:14 Derek The appointment on 4th is just the preliminary examination, and at our local hospital so it shouldn't take long.
14:15 Jason Firefox Yeah that would be my only request is various places but it's a technical thing
14:15 Jason Firefox Or impromptu.. say if giantess goes again
14:15 Jason Firefox would be wonderful to see it from the boardwalk live
14:16 Jason Firefox giantess goes long enough to make it worth while, especially if they could setup near vault
14:16 Derek Goodnight all
14:16 CC it is a technical things at this time
14:17 CC I requested the same thing
14:20 Jason Firefox what about the impromptu for giantess CC?

16:16 Graham wind is sweeping around

14:19 Graham ok. I guess shes waiting for her geysr to erupt?
14:20 Graham is Plume due now?
14:20 Derek She left the room because she's convinced it's eating up her bandwidth. I explained that she could easily stop the media player.
14:21 Rich Last plume I see in the log was 13:26
14:21 grant campter I saw something erupt "behind" old faithful.
14:22 Graham big or little Grant? close to the people at the bench there or far?
14:22 Graham ok. I dont think the room eats any bandwidth - Rich and Lois would notice that a lot
14:22 grant campter Yes, close to the people at the bench. And it was little.
14:23 Graham so not Plume
14:23 Graham left of OF or right?
14:23 Someone g
14:23 Graham or straight behibd

14:24 Graham thats way left of Beehive
14:24 grant campter Well, from where I'm looking left
14:24 Graham there are some small geysers in the flat area right behind OF
14:24 Rich I got Depression at 12:57
14:24 Graham Model is one
14:25 grant campter So, that couldn't be it.
14:25 grant campter Maybe it was a figment of my imagination.
14:25 Graham then up near the trees you can see Sponge cone and Plate erupts below it but it wasn't going
14:25 grant campter One week from Sunday I'm leaving for the Park.
14:25 Graham ok, I will buy that

18:53 Rich hi vw
18:54 Rich hi guest390146
18:54 vw Hi Rich, Guest.
18:54 vw Dinner done. Hoping to not fall asleep in my chair!
18:55 vw Now is another one of those times that it would be fun to have audio! would love to listen to the Ranger program!
18:55 Rich Then best get out of the chair. lol
18:55 Rich I agree.
18:55 vw :-PPP Your no fun!
18:56 Rich thweet
18:56 Rich I give up and just go to bed.
18:56 vw My snoring in my chair is a common form of entertainment for my teen!
18:56 Rich Might as well not wake with a crook in my neck. g
18:56 Rich I'm sure
18:57 Rich My Mom use to wake up for the commericals.
18:57 vw g
18:57 Rich Sleep thru the programs.
18:58 vw hmmm. seems as though the sky has cleared a bit in the last hour or so.
18:59 Rich Hard for me to tell, this time of the night the sky whites out, can't see any thing, then later it comes back.
19:00 Rich Think it is a cam thing.
19:00 vw just more clouds when I was on earlier. Will check radar.
19:01 Rich I think when the sun gets below the clouds we white out.
19:03 vw it does. But there was a system earlier that looks like it probably clouded up the basin. Bulk of the storm was quite a bit north though.
19:03 Rich k
19:05 vw Enough excitement for the evening. Should get some work done so less to do tomorrow.
19:05 vw Good night all!

04:52 Graham morning
04:53 Graham nice pink sky
05:03 Graham Lion 1602ie
05:04 CC Morning evryone
05:04 CC I had Lion at 6:01
05:04 Graham morning. how are you?
05:04 Graham ok
05:04 Graham I thought I would take a look and see if I can get the morning Beehive today before I go out
05:05 CC I am waiting on Beehive
05:05 CC should hopefully be soon
05:06 CC I also think OF went just before Lion
05:06 CC crowd is gathering at Beehive
05:06 Graham yeah it did
05:07 CC I didn't get the start of OF though
05:07 CC had left the computer for a moment
05:07 Graham well its been so regular there should be a lot out or ready for the dash from cabins
05:07 CC Lion must have been an initial
05:08 Graham its a bit later this morning thopugh
05:08 Graham yeah it looked like a long Lion
05:08 Graham saw Uncertain yesterday when Gary had the cam
05:09 CC he is very excited about the new presets as am I
05:09 Graham he didn't zoom in too close but it was clearly coming up to the left of the tree that hides Sawmill
05:10 Graham they are nice. I would swap Indicator for Plume so we have a chance to get Plume in shot if we see it on static cam
05:10 Graham but Daisy and Castle are good
05:11 Graham Ben confirmed Uncertain in the email I just pushed out
05:17 CC so where is Beehive
05:18 Graham maybe it's worn itself out with all these frequent eruptions and is sleeping in today?
05:18 Graham oh, more like it doesn't like me watching in the morning?
05:18 CC either that or it's very fickle and doesn't love me anymore
05:20 Graham im sure thats not true!
05:20 CC does that look like daisy to you
05:26 Graham mm Castle in steam phase
05:26 CC not sure
05:27 CC and still not indicator
05:34 Graham looked too strong for just splashing from Castle
05:35 Graham they are going to need a coffee run on Geyser Hill soon
05:40 CC guess you are correct about Castle
05:40 CC I never saw any water when I was going back and forth
05:40 Graham of course :)
05:40 Graham did you check it earlier?
05:40 CC I must admit the steam looked very white
05:41 CC yes
05:41 Graham with the wind in this direction its hard to see water anyway
05:41 Graham interesting dark sky behind it now
05:42 CC and they still wait
05:42 CC I am going to need a second cup of coffee myself
05:44 CC and Beehive is saying "so you think you have me figured out...I'll show you all"
05:44 Graham that's why I carry a coke in my pack so I can get me caffein fix when theres a coffee dealy. My coffee is breqing
05:44 vw Good morning all. BH waited for an audience this morning?
05:44 Graham over 13 hours - shocking
05:44 vw g
05:45 CC Hi VW
05:45 Graham 24 hours to go...
05:45 vw Morning CC!
05:45 Graham for VW, not BH :)
05:47 vw Thanks G
05:47 vw Hopefully will be on the road at this time tomorrow.
05:47 CC you headed to the park
05:47 vw weather will be cooler, hopefully we will have heard of some pre-event cycles on F&M, and it will be my b-day! the planets are aligning.
05:48 CC oh happy day
05:48 CC I think if I lived so close to the park I would be there every week...especially with the beartooth open
05:49 vw i try!
05:49 CC planning on seeing MA
05:49 vw Think she is south today doing some hiking with BP. Some of her family is there too. not sure what her plans are for tomorrow.
05:50 CC well if you see her give her my love
05:50 vw certainly
05:50 Graham oh yes, F&M on your birthday wpuld be gooid, happy Birthday. Pat Snyder saw Giant on her birthday, so you should get F&M
05:51 CC could we get a bh without indicator...I see some splashing
05:52 Graham it should be within an hour now :)
05:54 vw Osprey chicks are moving around
05:59 Graham so who is on the boardwalk? looks like Tara is there
05:59 CC still heavy white steam at Castle
06:00 Graham I love the morning steam
06:01 Graham Jim in red
06:01 Graham loks like Lynn near right?
06:01 Graham with Cynthia maybe
06:02 CC you heard the story with Jim
06:02 CC I told him he could not change his jacket
06:02 Graham haha
06:02 CC that way I knew he was at Beehive in the early morning
06:02 Graham I will confuse people this year, I have a new coat and backpack
06:02 CC ah
06:03 vw With the zoom lens maybe there should be disclosures on the boardwalk that people are likely to be broadcast worldwide!
06:03 Graham green and black coat with a silverey backpack
06:03 Graham yeah especially withthe vigilante cam operators around here
06:03 CC when you are at OF boardwalk I will get a close-up
06:03 vw hahahaha!
06:04 Graham I will call from BH so you know wht I look like at a distance
06:05 vw tomorrow: look for a lime green baseball cap. If there are two, with MA. Different body types, so you willl be able to tell us apart!
06:06 CC MA has my phone and if you are together call
06:06 vw will do.
06:06 Graham you will be down at F&M, remember?
06:07 vw will be around with my radio. Figure my legs will need a walk around or two!
06:08 Graham hehe
06:08 Graham Ind 0708
06:09 Graham pretty good really
06:09 CC finally
06:10 Graham yeah having to wait an hour for Beehive is getting to be too much isn't it CC?
06:11 vw g

06:15 CC it just you the geysers the the "boss"
06:16 Graham not many additions to the crowd

13:00 Graham Plume 1400
13:27 Derek Hi
13:27 Graham hey there
13:28 Derek Graham, during the broadcast from geyser hill the cam was pointed at castle and I noticed a small geyser to the right of Castle errupting. Any idea what it was?
13:29 Graham theres Gizmo and Tortoise Shell Spring there between the cone and boardwalk
13:29 Derek Must have been one of those
13:29 Graham TSS is pretty much active all the time, splashing out of a large round bowl/cone
13:30 Graham Gizmo has been pretty quiet I think
13:30 Derek TSS sounds about right
13:30 Graham then further away is Crested Pool in front of the railing
13:31 Graham large flat superheated pool that can dome up a little
13:31 Derek I have seen some videos of CP
13:33 Derek Sprinkler getting lively
13:33 Graham the other one to the right of Castle from GH would be Tilt but its a narow column of water right by the railing
13:33 Graham not very frequent tho
13:34 Graham yep. we had Penta and Depression and Grand earlier
13:35 Derek I saw Grand while I was chatting to Paul on MSN about the new room
13:35 Graham ok
13:35 Graham second time I have seen Penta
13:35 Derek I don't think I'd know Penta if I did see it.
13:35 Graham getting lucky this weekend, saw Uncertain yesterday
13:36 Graham Pat posted it on the listserve a while back
13:36 Graham I postes Uncertain today so it should come out tonight
13:37 Graham I just forwarded Pats picture to you
13:37 Derek ok
13:39 Derek That's in an area where there is usual several steam sources so I'm still not clear on it.
13:39 Derek Very close to Spasmodic
13:40 Graham yeah but clearly to the left behind the trees
13:40 Graham going straight up
13:41 Graham you see Spasmodic
13:41 Graham then the boardwalk on the left
13:41 Graham then a big tree
13:42 Derek I've googled a couple of video clips of penta
13:43 Graham theres a little steam coming up from Pentas area now, big tree + 2 more over
13:43 Graham but when Penta is erupting its water going straight up high, topping out above the trees
13:44 Derek On the clips it doesn't look very big. Three jets of different sizes
13:44 Graham yeah but they are 20' up for the biggest
13:45 Graham not a large volume of water tho
13:45 Graham thought we might have plate but I guess now
13:47 Graham mid-cycle splashing at BH
13:59 Graham I see splashing where you said Derek
14:01 Derek Yep
14:02 Derek That's is
14:03 Derek It doesn't erupt all the time so it must be a geyser
14:07 Derek Goodnight Graham and Jason
14:07 Graham goodnight
14:07 Derek Seeya tomorrow
14:13 Graham beautiful OF 1512

19:15 cb lol
19:15 CC this morning didn't it go over 13 hours
19:18 cb looks like BH's lost some of its viewers to the cold/evening
19:19 CC This is for real...I give it until 10:30 EDT and then I am signing off for the night
19:19 cb lol
19:19 cb addicting isn't it!

05:28 CC Yes but it was its own fault
05:29 CC I was sleeping by then
05:29 cb lol
05:30 CC you have to give alot of credit to each gazer who has the stamina to wait out the geyser eruptions:)
05:31 cb I'm sooo spoiled by the streaming cam....the static is just not the same.
05:31 CC ditto
05:32 CC and remember I had the streaming a good 4 months before everyone else
05:33 cb really?
05:33 CC before it went public I was on the camera
05:33 cb did not know that. You were the test pilot?
05:34 CC and I had the basin mainly to myself
05:34 CC more or less...I got to play
05:34 cb you had the cam all to youself? Lucky duck!
05:35 cb Thats a story I'l like to here one day!
05:35 CC and once it went public I was the only operator for many months
05:36 cb I remember a post to the list serve asking for operators!..Bill and I talked about applying then
06:02 CC Plume 7:01
06:02 Graham so when is BH going today?
06:03 CC probably when I am no longer on the cam

06:10 GrantCamper bye Graham
06:11 GrantCamper Hi CC
06:11 CC morning
06:11 CC are you new to this page
06:11 GrantCamper Yes and no
06:11 CC I haven't noticed your name before
06:12 CC where are you now
06:12 GrantCamper I come here on the weekends once in awhile.
06:12 GrantCamper I live in Loveland Colorado
06:12 CC I am assuming yo
06:12 CC ment the page
06:13 CC forgive the typing
06:13 GrantCamper Yes, I wi***** were Yellowstone.
06:13 CC how did you come up with the "Grant Camper" name
06:13 GrantCamper BH has not gone yet this morning?
06:13 CC no
06:13 GrantCamper When I am in Yellowstone, I camp at Grant. Thus the name
06:14 CC it went last night around or shortly after 11:00MDT
06:14 GrantCamper So, it was pretty late.
06:14 CC sorry 11:00 EDT
06:14 GrantCamper 9 mdt
06:15 CC yes
06:15 GrantCamper have you been up yet this year?
06:15 CC I was on the cam until 10:30 EDT and then I called it w=quits
06:15 CC yes in May
06:15 CC hoping to go again in September
06:15 GrantCamper I can't blame you
06:15 CC haven't made reservations yet
06:16 CC concerned about the road closings
06:16 GrantCamper Most of them are through Madison and Mammoth right?
06:16 CC from Norris to Madison
06:17 GrantCamper I am coming up a week from today.
06:17 CC a good section of the road will be closed
06:17 CC in August on the 17th
06:18 GrantCamper Do you go up that way when you visit?
06:18 CC the road around Gibbon Falls is being diverted ...there are delays now from Madison to Norris
06:19 GrantCamper It seems like they have been working on that road for awhile, but this time they are making a big fix.
06:19 CC Road closing the 17th of August so you should be okay ....just plan on delays in that area
06:19 CC changing the entire pattern of the road
06:19 GrantCamper I will get my artist paint pot fix early.
06:19 GrantCamper Yeah, it will be awesome when it is done.
06:20 CC we usually come into the park either from the East Gate or through the Arch
06:20 CC My son lives in Omaha and we visit him on our way out or into the park
06:20 GrantCamper I see, so that makes it difficult. We usually go through the South gate.
06:21 CC We have done that as well
06:21 GrantCamper That's very pretty.
06:21 CC depends on weather
06:21 GrantCamper For sure, especially in September.
06:22 GrantCamper I wish I could go in September.
06:22 GrantCamper I hear it is nice.
06:22 CC He use to live in Sioux Falls so then we would take 90 instead of 80
06:22 CC even did the beartooth once
06:23 CC scarry for me
06:23 GrantCamper That's gorgeous.
06:23 GrantCamper Yeah, I don't think I can get my husband up there.
06:24 GrantCamper Togwatee is bad enough.
06:24 CC Do you drive a camper into the park
06:24 GrantCamper Yes
06:24 CC I can certainally understand how your husband feels
06:24 GrantCamper Where do you usually stay
06:25 GrantCamper Beartooth is quite the pass
06:25 CC Several places.... Gardiner...West Yellowstone...sometimes at Grant and occasionally right in the Basin
06:26 CC We tried Cooke City once but I hated it
06:26 CC there is no cell phone coverage
06:26 GrantCamper How come?
06:26 GrantCamper Yeah, the cell phone coverage is spotty at Grant at best
06:27 GrantCamper Cooke City is quite a ways from the basins too.
06:27 CC We usually get up very early when in Gardiner and head right for Lamar
06:27 CC love the wildlife as well as the geysers
06:27 GrantCamper Oh yeah
06:28 GrantCamper I want to get up there this summer. I have a new scope
06:28 CC this past May we saw an incredible amount of wildlife in Lamar
06:28 GrantCamper May is wonderful for that.
06:28 CC great
06:28 GrantCamper what did you see?
06:29 CC literally everything
06:29 GrantCamper very cool
06:29 CC used our scope often but much of the wildlife we were able to see with the naked eye
06:30 GrantCamper that is awesome
06:30 CC the only wildlife that was low for us were the grizzlies and black bear... We saw some but not as much as usual
06:31 CC wolves were incredible this year
06:31 GrantCamper But you saw wolves!
06:31 GrantCamper very nice
06:32 CC saw the Druid...agates...caynon...several lone wolves and others
06:32 GrantCamper Sounds like a great visit
06:33 CC no question:>
06:34 CC because we go so often to the park we have made many friends and we spend time with them as well
06:34 GrantCamper We went to just the Tetons in June. It was gorgeous. But it hurt a little not to go farther north.
06:34 CC often do hikes together
06:34 GrantCamper That is fun. Any good ones?
06:35 CC one of my favorite it Pocket basin
06:35 GrantCamper Oh I definitely want to do that one!
06:35 CC we have done all the major hikes and some backcountry(day only)
06:36 CC Pocket basin is wonderful in the Spring...though it could be somewhat wet
06:36 CC In the fall many of the mudpots have dried up for the season
06:36 GrantCamper I want to go to Shoshone Basin one of these days.
06:36 GrantCamper I see
06:36 CC we have never done that
06:37 GrantCamper Last year I went with my folks and my Mom has trouble walking.
06:37 GrantCamper She won't admit it though
06:38 GrantCamper :)
06:38 CC Other hikes I love are along the Yellowstone Picnic trail
06:38 GrantCamper what do you see there?
06:38 CC also the one to the Petrified trees up on Speicmen ridge
06:39 GrantCamper BH is being late today. Do you think it's a trend?
06:40 CC The Yellowstone picnic trail takes you along the Yellowstone River across from Calcite Springs...you can see big horn sheep..pronghorn ...etc.... it's steep as you first approach the trail but then it is flat and easy
06:40 CC Try it...it's beautiful
06:41 GrantCamper I will. It sounds nice. We are planning on camping up north for awhile.
06:41 CC do you have reservations
06:41 GrantCamper Yes, at Grant. But we plan on staying first come first serve site up north.
06:42 CC well have fun
06:43 GrantCamper Yeah, I'm always excited. I have my 3 week summer break in August. I'm a teacher.
06:43 GrantCamper In fall we have to get the students ready.
06:44 CC what grade do you teach
06:44 CC my daughter is a teacher...third grade
06:44 GrantCamper I teach at an alternative high school
06:45 GrantCamper I love 3rd graders
06:45 GrantCamper i teach english and math
06:45 CC aah
06:45 CC are you on a trisemester
06:46 GrantCamper We have a year round school. I don't teach on Fridays
06:46 GrantCamper I would like the traditional set up. Then I could spend more time in Yellowstone.
06:47 GrantCamper My hope someday is to work there in the summer.
06:48 GrantCamper Well, I have to go. It was nice talking to you.
06:48 CC It's really been nice chatting with you...hope we can do it again soon. I will be getting off the cam very soon. Have fun
06:48 GrantCamper I'm going to have to miss BH

17:43 Loisb Thought you might be getting lonely over here
17:43 Graham hi there, it has been quiet tonight
17:44 Graham nobody here waiting for Beehive
17:44 Loisb gosh I wonder why
17:45 Graham how are you coping with only seeing one Beehive a day?
17:45 Loisb I just got though summerizing my house as much as I could
17:45 Loisb one hundred and two on my back porch
17:45 Graham yeah, you are getting a nice hot spell, I replied to your post
17:46 Loisb ah
17:46 Graham we have avoided it this summer so far although its in the high 80's for a few days this week and humid
17:46 Loisb we are not used to being this hot
17:48 Graham yeah hows the AC doing?
17:48 Loisb the only one I know around here with AC is Gates
17:48 Graham ohhh no AC? thats bad
17:49 Loisb Richard says there are a lot of people out in their cars
17:49 Graham how warm inside?
17:49 Loisb 78
17:49 Loisb so far
17:49 Loisb should just about be at the hotest part of the day
17:50 Graham whats it going to be tonight?
17:51 Loisb should cool off to 60's
17:51 Loisb just checked the back porch again - Richard and i opened the windows there - down to 98 and the evening breeze seems to be starting
17:53 Graham glad its colling at night. its 70-72 at night and humid here at night now
17:54 Loisb NOAA says 63 tonite
17:55 Graham thats good
17:55 Loisb Wed is supposed to be the hottest - but around here it's always a guess cause of the water and the mountains
17:56 Graham we are ghetting typiclal weather now, high around 90, low around 70, chance of thunderstorms every day and humid
17:56 Graham but everyone has AC
17:57 Loisb I am sure that if we had this kind of weather often folks would get AC
17:58 Loisb We went to Fred Meyer this morning and they had two walls of fans as opposed to the usual one stack
17:58 Graham haha yeah good for the fan business and window AC units I guess
17:58 Loisb You all always get thunderstorms in the evenings as i recall from trying to fly out of there after meetings
17:58 Graham Plume 1858
17:59 Loisb one peek and it was gone
17:59 Loisb I actually have a small ac unit down in the basement that has never been installed
17:59 Graham yeah I dont like wind blowing in this direction
18:01 Graham so when will I see BH tomorrow?
18:01 Loisb I don't think you will get to see it tomorrow unless you peek from work
18:04 Graham yes, when should I look?
18:06 Loisb sorry - cat just came home from vets
18:06 Graham ah, ok?
18:06 Loisb I figure between 11 and noon their time
18:06 Loisb they gave her an IV and took blood work
18:06 Loisb no idea at this point
18:06 Loisb very old kitty
18:07 Loisb might be lungs
18:07 Graham oh wow
18:08 Graham doesn't like the heat?
18:08 Loisb am sure - but think there must be something else cause she sure has been acting strange
18:10 Graham ok, hope shes ok
18:10 Graham maybe shes waiting for Rich to leave
18:10 Loisb me too
18:10 Graham OF 1910
18:10 Loisb she actually climbed up into his bed last nite for a couple of minutes
18:10 Loisb k

18:11 Graham cam is going to get dirty if wind stays this way
18:12 Graham doesn't look like vw did her job :(
18:12 Loisb I tried to get her to use that cleaning stuff she had
18:13 Loisb cc mentioned the other day that they probably were going to clean the streaming cam again tomorrow - if they pass by again i am going to publish cam captures in many places
18:13 Graham yeah she had time after all. The geysers erupted in the first 3 hours!

18:39 Graham oh well, both VP candidates were loose cannons
18:39 HAL hi cb
18:39 HAL yep
18:39 Graham makes a change from Cheney who was a live cannon

20:23 cb No...not yet. Having a hard time being patient
20:23 cb sounds like your trip into the park was eventful!!!!
20:23 vw waiting is hard. Not any better the older i get!
20:23 cb How was F&M
20:23 vw very good trip!

20:25 vw Oh. sorry I missed it.
20:25 vw Something magical about the times the sun enters and exits our lives.
20:26 cb Yes! I love the sunrises and sets
20:26 vw when i can stay over, I love to welcome the sun with a fresh cup of (MY) coffee!
20:27 cb Beehive watchers with camara flashes add to that!
20:27 cb Sounds great!
20:27 vw You bring your cup (we all have different preferences for cup shape and lip size) and I will bring the coffee. Make mine strong though so you are forewarned!
20:28 vw Sun has set here in Billings. Almost so in the Park. You have a little longer though?
20:28 cb We're going to go in Oct. and stay 3 nites at the inn! up for coffee in Oct?
20:29 cb Yep and it needs to cool down still in the 90's
20:29 vw As long as the roads are open, I like to go. Even in winter I go when I can. You let me know ahead of time and we can set a time and place!
20:29 cb great!
20:30 cb The steam look florecent tonite
20:30 cb looks
20:30 vw have you done nite geyser watching? I do love being on geyser hill at nite.
20:30 vw and the stars....oh my.
20:31 vw there are those flashes!
20:31 cb need a spell cker on meebo...not much! we usually stay at madison. Have done lots of nite animal watching though...Camara
20:31 cb 's
20:31 vw notice how the steam has flattened out? evening winds have checked.
20:32 vw spell checker: why. I mean what you kno!
20:32 cb Yep I noticed that this am also
20:32 vw big weather change. 80's and 90's yesterday to 60's and 70's today. good change imho.
20:33 cb that worked well for your visit
20:33 cb Did you see any other gazers....Jere B perhaps?
20:33 vw it really was nice. But when the system blew in I was outta there!
20:34 vw Jere B had left.
20:34 cb u smart
20:34 cb The basin or back to Gunbarrel?
20:34 vw I was sorry to miss him this weekend. THIS F&M would have been good for him to see: early in the day.
20:34 cb Ahhhh got it
20:34 cb he is an inspiration to me
20:35 vw He went to Idaho (? not sure where...) for a dig based on a conversation I had with him last weekend. Only gone for a week.
20:35 vw I am just now starting to really converse with him. We had fun talking at Grt Ftn a week ago.
20:35 vw He is special.
20:36 vw survivor yourself?
20:36 cb Very!!!! A great gentleman and friend....Of a great many things, but not cancer!

20:38 cb Bill my hubby
20:38 lillatino707 WHOSE A GIRL
20:39 cb I noticed that makes it look like the sunset is moving
20:39 vw wish him well. PSA tests are a common topic when I am talking to my sons. My oldest is 35 and at my urging has already started being tested. I am adament about them.
20:40 cb Your a great mom! Not talking about it makes it easier to ignore it
20:41 vw I just hate the pain and suffering if it can be avoided. And it can be with early testing. A crusader rather than a mom!
20:41 vw time for me to head to bed. see you in the am?
20:41 cb Perfect wording
20:41 cb hopefully. Sweet dreams
20:41 vw you too!
20:41 vw good nite.

06:09 vw like my coffee black. people at specialty coffee shops always look at me funny when I say black, NO flavoring. old fashioned I guess.
06:11 vw hope you get your delivery today. there is only so much delayed gratification that a person should be expected to tolerate...
06:11 cb Hubby works in the mental health dept at Vet Ad. I Like that. "no sanity" LOL I feel that way sometimes!
06:11 vw :D
06:13 cb Yep I'm excited!!! and feel honored to get this position!
06:14 vw So you are waiting for your cam license (saw something in a chat log and i am extrapolating...)

06:17 vw shoot the messenger!
06:17 cb lol
06:18 cb Do you have plans to another trip into the park?
06:18 vw that is seriously cool by the way. i so appreciate the effort the cam operators put into to keeping this page a good experience. you will be a credit to the corp.

16:42 Rich A nice chilly 102
16:42 Graham haha yeah I heard. Pat said she lost power last night so no fans
16:43 Graham brb
16:43 Rich Best thing to do is get wet.
16:43 Rich We use to wet a sheet and take it to bed with us. Kept you cool enough to get to sleep.
16:43 Rich k
16:47 Rich Is Pat viewing OF thru the YNP site or OFCamChat room?
16:47 Rich Hi Jason
16:49 Graham we have the usual phantom Jason here
16:53 Rich He's been in and out today.
16:53 Rich busy day for him.
16:53 Rich If Pat is viewing from the YNP site she should be able to turn the sound off on her media player program.
16:54 Rich I know that isn't quite what the question was but probably about the only solution.
16:55 Graham i am sure she knows that but maybe didn't see the control here
16:55 Graham not sure what browser she uses
16:55 Graham she logged off because it looked like her power was going out
16:55 Rich Don't blame her.
16:56 Rich There are problems in this area with line sag.
16:56 Rich Causing brown outs.
16:56 Graham ah, you are suffering for CA problems all the way up there?
16:56 Rich Wires are expanding to the point of touching.
16:57 Rich Long runs of High Tension wires are getting dangerously long.
16:58 Graham so what have you been doing to keep cool?
16:59 Rich Sleeping
16:59 Rich lol
16:59 Rich exposing skin to fan.
16:59 Rich Next step is to get wet and stand in front of fan.
17:00 Rich Going to put Aluminium foil on Lois bedroom window in a while.
17:00 Graham thats good
17:00 Graham ah..bake at 104?
17:01 Rich Steamed.
17:03 Rich We are going to start cooking on the back porch, just wrap things in foil, place in the sun. 20 m/lb.
17:03 Graham not going to the air conditioned store?
17:04 Rich Most are sold out.
17:04 Rich Fans are.
17:05 Rich Still cool in the basement, haven't moved down there yet.
17:05 Rich It is only 80 in the house on the first floor.
17:05 Graham OF 1804
17:05 Graham or just wander round a cool store?
17:06 Rich Bars with AC are very crowded.

17:14 Rich Storms are good sometimes, wouldn't mind a good soaker this afternoon.
17:15 Rich bb shortly, have to go pick up the cat from the Vets.
17:16 Rich She's been doing poorly the last week.
17:16 Rich Think the decission is that she is diabetic and had an infection going.
17:16 Rich Think she might have used up one of her lives.
17:17 Rich Should be back in about 1/2 hour.
17:17 Graham k
17:17 Graham good luck with her
17:17 Rich away She's pushing 20.
17:18 Graham ah....not good to be ill then
17:18 Rich away never really been sick before.
17:18 Rich away cya in a bit.
17:55 Rich away back
17:56 Graham how is your cat?
17:58 Rich away Seems to be more normal, has let us "know" in no uncertain terms that she is better. YOWLLLLLLLL
17:59 Graham hehe
18:00 Rich away Vet wants her back in the morning again for another round of treatments. Trying to get the infection undercontrol. Diabetic condition might be related to the infection.
18:00 Rich away Blood sugar down to 140 from this mornings 270.
18:00 Rich away She got some more insulin today.
18:02 Rich away Lion roar.
18:03 Graham mmm vet wants more money tomorrow?
18:04 Rich away Probably
18:05 Rich away Cat has been cheap pet for a long long time. Don't mind it now. Average yearly med cost are still under $50.
18:13 Graham that will be fixed wit hthe new universal healthcare plan
18:14 Rich away Hmm, Nice that cats will be covered, But still interested in how much it will cost us.
18:15 Graham nothing unless you or your cat earn more than $500,000
18:18 Rich away I've been trying to get Loisb to let Bill Gates adopt the cat.
18:19 Graham mm then cats income would be too hight
18:22 Rich I doubt that Bill adopt her, he doesn't seem to keep much over 3 years old.

18:53 Rich Is that Teapot?
18:54 Graham Teapot - where?
18:55 Rich I'll see if I got the capture and post it.
18:55 Graham the spot for teapot is right in line with the left side of Beehive
18:55 Rich Left side?
18:55 Rich this was to the left of OF.
18:56 Graham left side of BH, really close to the cone
18:56 Graham in line with it - so its on this side of the river, but in line with the left side of the cone
18:56 Rich Then I have the wrong location.
18:56 Rich k
19:00 Rich Looks like we might get a brown out. So if I disappear, see you tomorrow.
19:01 Rich Power flickered.
19:02 Rich capture is up on FB
19:04 Graham I think that bright spot is just sun glare
19:05 Graham glad we have enough power here :)
19:05 Rich sure looks like steam immediately to the left of OF.
19:06 Rich wb cb
19:06 Graham oh, that steam - I think its just OF steam

19:11 Graham yeah winds blowing that way
19:11 Rich Graham's going to go to YNP in a month, - - - --
19:12 Graham :))
19:12 Rich Way to hot.
19:12 Graham not in YNP...I keep telling you to take Lois there
19:12 Rich Humidity is reaching Houston.
19:12 Graham HAL has shutdown due to overheating
19:13 cb Reading Ben's post this evening it sounds like it was a great (weather wise) day in the park
19:14 Graham yesterdays
19:15 cb you right I had to ck
19:15 Rich HAL has been making HOT noises. When ever the temp gets to 80, it starts making "new" noises.
19:16 cb Hal is lucky hhe's been in Seattle for the last month, it just dipped under the 100 deg mark this evening. 98 in downtown P-ville right now. It's been a scorcher!
19:18 cb how was wolf trapp last night graham?
19:19 Graham HAL is at 104 now I think
19:20 Graham it was great, good singers and a mostly good direction. 369 year old Opera but it sounded more up to date singing
19:21 Graham back there tomorrow in the outdoor theater for National Symphony doing Mendlesons Violin Concherto and Beethovens 6th with my Mom. Thn Friday its video of Blue Planet with NSO performing the music
19:21 Graham busy week
19:22 Rich Just checked the back porch, down to 92, inside has dropped a 1/2 deg. back to 83
19:22 Rich Sun is being blocked by some light clouds.
19:22 cb Sounds like a fun week. makes the weeks fly by quicker
19:23 Graham just 3 more after that this summer
19:23 cb Hal's circuits are gone fry pretty soon. What would happen if we added cold water to his circuitboard?
19:24 Graham day before I fly out to YNP I see Lord of the RIngs part 2 with full orchestra
19:24 cb That'd be cool! You must have a season pass
19:26 Graham no, just pick out opera and symphony mainly. theres a show on Glacier Park too
19:27 Graham they have performances 6 nights a week for ~4 months
19:27 Graham and then at the Barns they have small performances through the winter
19:27 Rich  
http://community.seattletimes.nwsource.com/weather…
19:28 Rich Beam me up Scotty.
19:31 Graham hehe
19:31 Graham Glad I am not in Seattle with no AC
19:33 Rich That's what it looks like outside now.

05:12 vw I got some new champagne flutes for my b-day and looking for a reason to give them a test drive!
05:13 vw great osprey shots. three heads.
05:14 cb Good! Bill had his procedure yesterday. took out 4 "bumbs" he's still asleep. No! it hasn't arrived yet....getting bummed!

05:14 vw that sleep is one of the sweetest I ever had!
05:15 vw will do the same here for you!
05:15 cb doc said they looked good. I almost passedout when they showed em to me
05:15 vw Once you get package, are you then pretty much ready to go or is there a learning curve?
05:16 vw brb. wanna check temp at OF
05:16 cb Yes there is a learning curve....
05:17 vw 29 at 0600. gotta love the steam the cool weather creates!
05:17 vw so will they let you play while you are learning?
05:17 cb Glad for the return of calm!
05:18 vw wouldn't want to be drinking that champagne while the cam was zooming around during a lesson!
05:18 cb No better way to learn than to play ...I think!
05:18 cb lol
05:18 vw agree. on the job training is the way to go!
05:18 cb Great did you get yourself anything special for your bday?
05:19 vw a day trip to YNP!
05:19 vw i have very simple wishes.
05:19 cb Oh to be in 29 deg weather....
05:19 cb I think CC's on the cam this am
05:20 cb Look at all the steam outta Giantess. creating it's own cloud
05:20 vw people on the boardwalk look to be in their winter clothes!
05:21 cb It's really been a mmild summer you way...Yes?
05:21 cb your
05:22 cb still working on first cuppa caffine
05:22 vw generally yes. We had a few hot spells earlier, but overall seasonal. this cool weather is a special treat.
05:23 vw back to the 80's this weekend
05:23 cb nice
05:23 vw If there was precipe in the Park right now, it would be snow!
05:24 cb wow
05:24 cb in end of July..
05:24 vw just checked washburn cam. looks clear in its viewing area
05:25 cb hello kentishman and Derek
05:25 Derek Hi
05:25 cb Derek hows Berle
05:25 Derek cb
05:26 cb Beryl
05:26 Derek Eye is red but improving
05:26 cb Good
05:26 cb to here....fingers aren't awake yet
05:26 Derek I would guess it's cc on the cam.
05:27 cb my guess also
05:30 cb Morning CC!
05:30 CC Hi everyone
05:30 Derek Hi
05:32 vw Good morning everyone. a person steps away for a few an world populates!
05:33 CC OF 6:33
05:33 cb lol
05:33 CC Derek how is Berylo
05:34 Derek She has the eye cover off today. Taking 2 kind of drops 4 times a day
05:35 CC that is going to be for several days with the drops
05:35 Derek Eye is very red around the outside of the white area
05:35 CC oh my
05:35 Derek She has to go back for checkup on 12th
05:35 cb Amazing how a geyser erupting calms my spirt
05:36 Derek They were very happy with the results at the hospital
05:36 CC can she put the drops in herself
05:36 CC Victor never could
05:36 Derek No, I have to
05:37 vw Derek - did she need the surgery in just one or both eyes?
05:37 Derek Will be both but one at a time
05:38 vw wishing her well from here. They can do such amazing things today for cataracts.
05:39 vw geyser question cuz don't have my T.Scott by my chair: steam at the top of the ridge to the right of the camera view. Where is that coming from?
05:40 Derek In the trees?
05:40 Derek Solitary
05:40 vw yes
05:40 cb Solitary
05:40 vw thank you!
05:40 vw it is alone, isn't it.
05:41 Derek It used to be a spring
05:41 CC hard to tell from this angle
05:41 vw putting out a lot of steam this morning
05:41 Derek But they messed it up when they created a plunge pool
05:41 CC Derek you have been listening to George
05:41 Derek I read it in Scotts book first :-)
05:42 CC too funny
05:42 cb It has a run off channel and a few very small vents around the platform. at least it did a few years back
05:42 vw guess I better get a second copy of T. Scott for by my chair.
05:43 vw I will test my creaky knee the next time and check it out.
05:43 cb It is a very nice walk up to it. can make the half circle from Solitary to the observation platform
05:43 cb take bear spray!!!!
05:43 CC it's an easy walk right from the basin without going up to Observation point
05:43 vw so you are advising me to not leave my pack in the car that time! :D
05:44 cb lol
05:44 Derek cb prefers the scenic route
05:44 cb I love a nice walk in the woods!
05:44 CC take bug spray too
05:45 CC lots of mosquitos in the early spring
05:45 vw THAT goes without saying. bugs were bad last weekend. Hate deet, but having to cave.
05:45 Derek Beehive spray too :-)
05:45 vw :D
05:45 cb It's a great walk inbetween geyser events
05:45 Derek Instant erruption spray
05:46 cb you were lucky last weekend w F&M and no pack!!! G Gods were with you!
05:47 cb yep cold today! folks are in full jackets
05:47 vw wanting to be at BH, I was only going to be away from my car and pack for about 30 minutes. Who would have guessed F&M was set to go so early. Glad I hydrate when I drive!
05:48 vw Look at all that glorious steam!
05:48 CC be back later
05:48 Derek ok
05:48 cb ok. take care
05:49 vw bye cc
05:50 vw if they ever get the camera lens clean, they should put some of that plastic film over it that the kids use on their portable games. cheaper to replace than a lens.
05:51 Derek Fortunately it isn't the lens that is dirty
05:51 Derek It's the glass window of the cam housing
05:52 vw so it is easier to replace?
05:52 Derek If needed
05:52 vw will have to really look at it next time.
05:53 Derek If they can find a ladder, they can get most of it off.
05:53 vw people just stare when you stand under the tree and just look up for a long time!
05:53 Derek But it can't be done with their wet sponge on the telescopic pole
05:53 vw I keep saying I could take my collapsable ladder with me!
05:54 vw that could be my volunteer contribution! every couple of weeks, climb a tree...
05:54 Derek I have a photo of the cam that someone sent me
05:54 CC Lion 6:54
05:55 cb It's strange to look at the cam from under the tree as you don't know who's looking back at youLOL
05:56 Derek Well, when cc or Graham were there, I phoned them :-)
05:56 cb Nice
05:56 vw need to know the blind spots!
05:56 Derek BRB, dishes to wash.
05:58 cb I need to get Bill some breakfast.(don't usually do that) hasn't eaten since procedure...c u'all later.
05:58 vw bye!
05:58 vw I have to get moving too. Hope everyone has a good day.

07:29 Michael Right of Grotto/Giant, left of Riverside. Big.
07:29 Michael I'm pretty confident of this one.
07:30 Derek I'll take your word for it as I've never been there :-(

07:41 cb be interesting to see if that is F&M. Timing is right

07:45 Michael The map I used is at
http://www.geocities.com/dmonteit/ov_ugb_map.htm

12:11 Derek I just got back
12:12 Kent Thanks CC. I've heard nothing through Emigrant on F&M. If they can't link from Beehive for the program, I guess that rules out me getting one from the top of the Inn? :)
12:13 CC Kent looks like they are going to try the program
12:14 Kent I see George up there. I also think I just saw a serious gazer settle in a BH.

17:11 Rich hi bojo
17:11 bojo hello rich
17:17 Rich Plume ie 18:16 wc
17:19 bojo translation, please
17:20 Rich Plume geyser, in eruption at 6:16 mdt, webcam time
17:21 Rich Plume geyser is located just to the left and beyond Old Faithful
17:21 bojo OK: ie = in eruption. wc = webcam time; correct?
17:22 Rich correct
17:22 Rich On the static cam image, the date/time is stamped at the top of the image.
17:22 bojo Thanks!!
17:22 Rich np
17:23 Rich instead of ie - sometimes there might be ns which is near start of the eruption.
17:24 bojo OK, good to know all of the shorthand
17:25 Rich There is a list of the shorthand somewhere on the GOSA website.
17:26 bojo Thanks, I'll look for it
17:27 Rich  
http://www.gosa.org
17:27 Rich We need to run to the Vets and retrieve our cat before they close, but I should be back within about 45 min.
17:27 bojo OK. Why are you green now?
17:28 Rich I've been trying to figure that out myself, the best I've found so far is that it has something to do with either the time in the chatroom or the time since last msg.
17:28 Rich Or it might be nothing. lol
17:28 Rich bb in a bit.
17:29 bojo later
18:12 Rich AWAY Split cone steaming 19:12

18:51 Rich Hi Lois
18:51 Loisb Hi
18:51 Loisb Hi VW
18:52 vw Hi LoisB!
18:52 vw Has your heat broken yet?
18:52 Loisb seems to be a tad cooler today
18:52 vw I always think of Seattle as benefitting from that wonderful sound breeze!
18:52 Loisb back porch was only 85 awhile ago
18:53 Loisb but the breeze doesnn't come up till later
18:53 vw think your heat is coming our way. Woke to heater this morning, 80's and 90's next week. :'D
18:53 Rich I'm dreaming of that day!!! lol
18:53 Loisb be sure and check your FB profile page - I left you a post
18:53 Loisb our weather generally goes your way I think
18:54 vw Will do. Read Rich's post about cb and HAD to come here. Will go do that now. brb.
18:54 Loisb k
18:54 vw too fun!
18:55 Loisb and very lime green you will notice
18:55 vw of course! and with the clarity of the picture I am sure you could pick me out of any other crowd too!
18:55 Loisb but of course - you just had to tell me where you were sitting and I zoomed right to you
18:56 vw B)
18:56 vw wish you could send some of your wet weather.
18:56 vw dry here again this year.
18:56 Loisb wish we had some of our wet weather right now
18:57 Loisb fires over Chelan way but nothing over our side yet but some house fires
18:57 vw your dry too? My daughter is just returning to the area after a years absence so haven't been folllowing Seattle weather.
18:57 Loisb my lawn is now the usual Seattle summer color - brown
18:58 Loisb trees aren't drying out yet but if the weather doesn't break they will be
18:58 vw mine is too. just can't justify too much watering. winds will just evaporate it anyway.
18:58 Loisb I gave up on lawn watering some years back when we were under water restrictions
18:58 vw so when might you make a trip to the park?
18:58 Loisb seems like a waste
18:58 Loisb no idea but can be packed in 5 minutes
18:58 vw agree. no restrictions here, but there is always the need to conserve water.
18:59 vw 5 minutes packing, 8 hours driving?
18:59 Loisb mine will turn green again in Sept when the rains come back
18:59 vw good pine needles cb! work that zoom!
18:59 Loisb more like 16
18:59 Loisb and we would have to make several stops at favorite places along the way
19:00 vw really? guess I am a speed demon. billings to seattle in about 12!
19:00 Loisb well we do have speed limits over here
19:00 Loisb and now long from Billings to YNP?
19:01 vw 2 hours to Gardiner. 2 to UGB when road open. In the park I always drive the speed limit.
19:02 Loisb its 12 hours from here to Richards and we figure YNP 4 more hours
19:02 Loisb driving times
19:06 Loisb but we would have to stop at Cle Elem bakery, and then at Indian John's and then at Vantage - and then we might have to stop and visit the falls in Spokane - g
19:06 Rich lol
19:06 Rich Make that 24 h driving time.
19:06 Loisb that would get us to Idaho
19:06 vw Next time stop in Missoula. Lots of good bakeries. Could give you directions.
19:06 Loisb in time to pitch the tent
19:06 vw g
19:07 Loisb when I worked for the phone company we picked our meeting spots by the towns with the best bakeries
19:07 vw way to go!
19:08 Loisb makes those long boring meetings much better
19:08 vw my son still misses the food in Missoula. We plan our trips there so we arrive when his favorite drive up with the best fries in MT opens.
19:08 Loisb you ever take him to ****'s here in Seattle?
19:08 cb Hi all

10:51 Rich sparekitty, sorry had a download going. Just got back from the vets, cat has been sick, infection. She also appears to be a diabetic. We got to learn how to give her insulin.
10:54 sparekitty that does not sound like a good time! i had to give a pet snake injections for a time but it was only one course of antibiotics. i can't imagine a long time commitment of pet injections.
