07:04 Rich usually have about 12,

07:05 cb yep!
07:05 Rich First time a big guy with lots of tatoos showed up, thought the gray hairs were all going to run.
07:06 Rich but by the end of the day, he'd been 'adopted' by one of the grandma types.
07:06 cb LOL did they talk to him?

07:09 Rich Community service ones you have to sit on and keep them busy.

07:10 cb Yep the difference between wanting to change behaviors and being told to change......makes a difference
07:10 cb gotta want to change
07:11 Rich Yesterday had one guy that dissappeared regularly.
07:11 Rich He was being moved to the thrift store today.
07:11 Rich Working at the senior center is the cushy job.

07:11 Rich The thrift store doesn't have ac and they have to work.

16:06 VMW yes
16:06 cb yep.

16:07 Graham I am glad I dont know what meebo lang is :)

16:19 Graham I had one old house room with view down basin before
16:19 cb Staying in the old house. I'm gunna ask for one!
16:19 VMW we had one with a decent view
16:20 Graham you should call and ask now before they allocate rooms. of course you could checkin early tho
16:21 cb Just thought of that as we were talking
16:24 vw end of pretending to work. gonna head out. no quicky tonight though. have to stop and see a client before i can head home for the evening.
16:24 vw see ya later!
16:25 VMW bye v
16:27 Allan Hi cb
16:27 Allan Hi Graham
16:27 cb Hey Allan...
16:27 Graham cb - heres your view... http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=2006929&id=1470722670&l=9d1bb01abd- see the last three pictures in the album
16:27 Graham hi Allan
16:31 cb OMG!!!!! I am soo excitied...will call tonight! You happen to remember the room #?
16:31 Graham no. I think it was a 1 bed without bath
16:32 cb Thats what we have reserved
16:33 Graham ok. good luck :)
16:33 Graham that was a good trip, one week in the Inn and one in a cabin when they opened. 2 Giants :)
16:33 cb Thats is a good trip
16:34 Graham yep. second one was with my sister and Mom in for that week. My sister saw Giant before Grand
16:34 VMW now that's lucky
16:34 Graham yeah was her first trip to the park
16:37 Graham Here we are at Giant... http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?pid=30195420&l=6655ed3e95&id=1470722670
16:39 VMW how long did you have to wait for Giant?
16:40 Graham we had a false alarm the previous day but not long that day, it was Marathon recovery and fairly short one, nothing much going on so we thought we would have a wait but all of a sudden the water rose
16:40 Graham they were down for less than an hour
16:41 VMW nice
16:41 Graham we cancelled dinner at the Inn due to good hot periods, had dinner the night before Giant erupted because Grotto was marathoning
16:42 Graham hum, so I guess the false alarm was 2 days before Giant because of the Marathon for about 24 hours
16:43 Graham the other Giant that trip was my all nighter with hourly hot periods and Mastiff depth charging all day and night
16:44 VMW did it go during daylight?
16:44 Graham yeah nice pink sunrise at 0532, in the 6th hot period of the day
16:45 VMW so one fairly easy & the other you had to really work for...
16:45 VMW at least you got it after the all nighter
16:46 Graham http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=2004992&id=1470722670&l=f75f1c8099
16:46 Graham yeah but with Mastiff depth charging all that time and all those hot period it was a good shot to erupt
16:47 VMW nice pics!
16:48 Graham thanks. better than it would have been at the 0420 hot period :)
16:49 Graham did get a couple of breaks over the 24 hour wait after it had 6-7min hot periods, figured it was safe to leave and eat and recharge for a little
16:49 VMW that's good
16:58 Graham Daisy 1758
17:16 Allan That Riverside??
17:19 cb Not sure....I haven't graduated to steam reader yet! G
17:20 Allan That's cute, cb!
17:34 Graham sorry was getting a shower
17:34 Graham I dont see anything there now, just Grotto going down-basin
17:37 VMW bye for now
17:44 Graham where will you be a week from now cb? :)
17:45 cb A whole multiude of choices....somewhere where the water is about to shoot upward
17:46 cb I love Fountain at this time of night or G Fountain
17:46 cb Did you see the Elk?
17:46 Graham yeah thats a good place to be unless its really blowing hard
17:46 Graham yeah nice shots
17:48 cb Sorry got alot going on here in the house....Daughter not feeling well
17:49 cb The sunsets our at Fountain can be magnificent
17:53 Graham I love all the action there and Mornings Thief is a great bonus these last few years. Bigger every year
17:54 cb yep. Some of your shots of MT are great! I think its on my top 5 fav geysers list!
17:54 cb Sure wish we could see the water in the hole again
17:55 cb was going to use quotes but hate what meebo does to tthe sentance
17:55 cb Plume 1855
17:56 Graham well I can see water in Fountain....but its way down
17:56 Graham still goes up and down a little
17:57 cb from on the observation desk w bino's?
17:57 Graham OF 1857
17:58 Graham no, just down from the sign on the boardwalk
17:58 Graham there's a notch there, binos help
17:58 Graham and being 6' tall
17:58 cb you have height to your advantage. yep we stand there on tip toes
17:59 Graham still hard to see it coming up. a couple of times people heard the boiling steaming before it burst up
18:00 cb I need to bring a ol milk crate to stand on
18:00 cb This spring I could tell by an increase in the steam cloud
18:01 Graham hey go in winter when theres a foot of packed snow on the BW?
18:01 Graham but then theres too much steam
18:01 cb Yep. hard to see the water when Its sooo cold
18:02 Graham still have not seen it from the boardwalk in winter...was erupting on one trip into the park tho so got a drive-by
18:02 cb That is my dream to go in Jan
18:03 Graham see you there
18:04 cb looked at your pic's of Giant....nice....but:'(
18:04 Graham got to get some things done here, see you later. hope your daughters feeling better soon
18:04 cb Thanks G
18:04 Graham yeah, sad we cant see it now...but maybe next year
18:04 Graham see you
18:04 cb have a nice nite and thanks
18:07 cb hey vw....u been there long?
18:07 cb just looked up to see if G was gone
18:08 vw just for a while. wanted to see if color from sunset this evening.
18:08 vw Is your family still there? saw you mentioned
18:09 cb Daughter just left to pu kids....I feel bad for her...she can't walk
18:09 cb very well
18:09 vw oh. and dealing with kids too.. :(
18:09 cb yep....we've been there huh
18:09 vw sore, or also sick?
18:10 cb Very sore
18:10 vw i bet.
18:10 cb 5.5 earthquake in Seqoiua
18:10 vw is she having to work too?
18:11 cb she's trying to work from home....has LT from work
18:11 vw hmmm. NPS was having a discussion about why maybe one big earthquake can bring on a series over an area 1000's of miles apart
18:12 vw wish her my best. think having your kids not well is the hardest thing in the world.
18:12 cb yep, when one plate moves drasticly it's gotta effect the others I think
18:12 vw thats pretty much what they were saying... kind of "jars" the other plates causing shifts.
18:13 cb yep. I can pretty much plan on a rash of quakes here in CA
18:19 vw looks like no evening colors. maybe the cold sapped it away?
18:19 vw :D
18:22 vw we welcomed it cb, now we can put it to bed!
18:22 vw g'nite.
18:23 cb nite

October 2nd, 2009 

05:51 CC morning
05:52 cb away morning
05:52 CC hi
05:52 CC did you see anything this morning
05:52 cb not yet.
05:52 CC OF looks promising
05:57 cb morning vw
05:57 vw Good morning!
05:57 vw Is it friday yet?
05:58 cb thank gosh
05:58 CC OF 6:58
06:01 CC vw what is the fire report
06:02 CC counted at least 4 maybe 5 people watching the eruption of OF
06:02 vw yesterday the report said fire had not grown. usually they have been updatedin between 10 adn 11
06:02 CC thanks
06:04 vw no problem. Usually not having to keep an eye on fires this late in the season!
06:04 CC sounds liske the snow and rain did some good
06:05 vw lets hope. I do not think we got as much as originally predicted, but more on the way tomorrow.
06:05 CC CB better dress warm when in the park
06:06 CC anyone think Daisy may have gone
06:06 CC hard to tell with all the steam
06:06 vw by next weekend think the precip is supposed to be down.
06:06 vw daytime highs of 40-50s. nights 20-30s
06:08 vw washburn cam actually showing sky this morning. we will be able to see what happens today.
06:08 CC Hi Derek
06:08 vw Good morning Derek
06:08 Derek Just signed in to see what was going on. I still have some chores to finish
06:09 vw Cold at OF this am. 18 F with 86 relative humidity
06:09 vw you found me trying with not too much success to wake up D!
06:11 cb you like me yesterday vw....body just didn't want to wake up
06:12 vw definitely. no reason. just because.
06:12 Derek I never have a problem waking up in the morning. My alarm is always set for 7:00am but I usually wake up earlier.
06:13 cb yep I gotcha!
06:13 cb was slow all day yesterday....TGIF
06:13 vw Usually I don't either D. early riser. but sometimes the eys are awake but the rest of me is putting on the skids!
06:13 cb lol
06:13 vw that would be this morning.
06:15 cb Nice view on the washburn cam!
06:15 cb brb. breakfast calls
06:20 vw this morning calling an eruption may be a measure of how dense the steam appears. Not sure you could see water through any of that!
06:21 vw CC - with all the chatter going on the listserve about the cam, maybe you could through in a hint for a directional microphone. that would get everybody going!
06:22 CC I am having great difficulty with the steam
06:22 vw yeap. Grand - is it or is it not?
06:23 CC I don't think so
06:23 CC may west
06:23 CC or turban
06:23 CC I couldn't see water
06:23 vw I agree.
06:23 CC I can't see Lion either
06:23 vw but definitly denser steam!
06:23 CC too much steam from OF

06:41 Rich Pretty clear view from Mt. Washburn.
06:42 vw its pretty isn't it Rich. Will be able to see if there is still a smoke plume later.
06:42 Rich I'm guessing that the steam plumes are from Crater Hill?
06:43 vw that would be my guess
06:43 Rich Be nice if they left the cam on that geyser field for a couple of days.
06:44 vw not much to see from that distance R. Pretty much what you are seeing now.
06:45 Rich I know, but at least it is a geyser view. lol

12:55 Ryan Hello
12:55 Ryan Havent seen you here for awhile
12:56 Loisb I was on holiday - took a trip over to the ocean, down to the gorge and then St Helens
12:56 Ryan Yes I heard about that, St Helens? I was there in 03 how was it?
12:57 Loisb we went in the back side - east - to Windy Ridge - still a lot of deforestation
12:57 Loisb of
12:57 Loisb at 1356
12:58 Loisb but it was windy for sure
12:58 Ryan lol, Sound slike fun
12:58 Loisb it was - didn't get many good photos of the crater though - sun was against me
12:59 Loisb did you ever get to that side?
12:59 Ryan Yes, very senic
13:00 Loisb the west side seems to have grown back much more - we were there last year
13:00 Ryan Nice, here in PA you dont getout that way much :)
13:00 Loisb a very nice OF - those idiots leaving early are missing out
13:00 Loisb g
13:01 Loisb do you follow the happenings at Kilauea at all?
13:01 Ryan Yeah they are, alothough Ive left at the same tijme...
13:01 Ryan but BHI was going so I left g
13:01 Ryan Some of the happenings yes
13:01 Loisb well that is important
13:01 Loisb those folks are just hitting the road
13:01 Loisb you can see them next in the air cam
13:02 Ryan Thats what I told pap... "..trying not be selfish, but i havent been here (my most favorite place) in 8 years and BHI is going and I wanna see it!"
13:02 Loisb vbg
13:03 Loisb if you decide you are interested in Kilauea I have some great night captures of the lava I am putting together and I will upload to utube
13:03 Ryan Thats what he did too
13:04 Loisb its been going to town lately
13:04 Ryan That would be great, volcanoes led me into geysers 8 nyears ago, still are very intrested in both
13:04 Loisb wonder if that's indicator - can you see it better in the streaming cam?
13:04 Loisb with the time change I can usually get several hours before it gets daylight over there
13:05 Ryan No steam at BI... yet
13:05 Loisb will try to get them uploaded tonite if I can catch up on some other stuff
13:05 Ryan bhi
13:05 Ryan ok
13:06 Loisb they put in a new really high dpi cam at the Halamaumau Overlook
13:06 Loisb wish Yellowstone had some half as good
13:06 Ryan wats the link
13:06 Loisb http://hvo.wr.usgs.gov/cams/HMcam/
13:07 Loisb nothing but gray most of the time during the day
13:07 Ryan apparently
13:08 Loisb you are 6 hours ahead of them so you should have some nice viewing when you get up in the mornings

13:31 Bruce da Moose Hi, y'all
13:31 Loisb Hi Bruce
13:31 sparekitty hey bruce.
13:36 Bruce da Moose Sooo - there could be a BH today before sunset - was at 1336 yesterday, and having variable intervals. Probably one before sunrise. If it was way before sunrise, or we have a shortish interval, could see one before sunset
13:36 sparekitty thanks, bruce
13:36 sparekitty good to know there is hope.
13:37 Bruce da Moose I'm sorry - it was 1325 yesterday; no matter, same argument applies :-)
13:40 Bruce da Moose Nice blurp of steam at Giantess on static cam...
13:40 Derek I was watching that closely earlier when I was on the cam.
13:42 Ryan Hello everyone, cant stay long

14:22 Graham hello
14:26 Loisb Hi Graham
14:26 Loisb nice OF
14:27 Graham hello Lois. yes it was a nice eruption.
14:27 Graham we all waiting for bh/
14:27 Loisb but of course
14:27 Loisb I gave up my nap - it better happen soon - g
14:28 Graham ah, that was a serious gamble giving up your nap
14:28 Loisb yes and usually it waits till I would have been up anyhow
14:29 Graham might have a bit of a wait now too
14:29 Loisb yep - hard to predict these days
14:36 vw good afternoon all. been here but working.
14:37 vw just catching up to the conversation. so based on the Derek and Bruce conversation, maybe I SHOULD head over to the park tomorrow!
14:37 vw Giantess would be pretty cool!
14:38 Graham hehe...yeah..now the question is how much do you believe their predictive skills?
14:39 vw well..... will not disparage people Graham!
14:39 vw :)
14:39 Jason Firefox it's going to happen because Graham wishes it
14:39 vw maybe i just need an excuse to go beyond "cuz I wanna!!!"
14:40 vw if that were true Jason, it would have gone about 3 weeks ago!
14:41 Bruce da Moose Graham doesn't like my predictive skills - sniff - WAAAAHHH!
14:41 Bruce da Moose :'(
14:41 Jason Firefox I've granted the power to Graham to wi***** into being just this once :P
14:41 Bruce da Moose /:)
14:41 vw :D
14:41 vw hi Bruce!
14:41 Bruce da Moose Actually, i would not give you a plug nickel for them either...
14:41 Bruce da Moose Hi, vw!
14:41 Loisb it can happen tomorrow or Sunday and then I can see it on the streaming cam - grandma duty
14:41 vw hahahahaha!
14:42 Graham yeah I wanted it when I was there
14:42 Graham alsop predicted Splendid reactivation
14:42 Loisb I told it to go off then - but it wasn't listening
14:42 Jason Firefox who was predicting spendid?
14:42 vw what about next weekend LoisB? I will be there along with cb and hurricane/hangtown, kent and maybe others???
14:43 Loisb only if you take lots of photos to share
14:43 Graham maybe it should wait till next weekend when cb is there too
14:43 Loisb but i will probably be having grandma duty weekends for the foreseeable future
14:43 Jason Firefox wait go back graham
14:43 vw if the price of Giantess is ONLY pictures, think i can handle that !
14:43 Jason Firefox go back to giantess
14:43 Jason Firefox i thought I saw splashing
14:43 Graham I predicted it..based on Giantess erupting when I sent people pictures of Vault. So then I sent SPlendid pictures out
14:43 Loisb g
14:44 Graham hum..maybe I should have sent pictures of Brilliant Pool or some other nearby feature
14:44 Loisb maybe
14:44 Graham maybe that's why it didn't work right
14:44 Jason Firefox giantess looked like it was boiling when you zoomed past it, or something near it
14:44 Graham I think Gary has the cam. not me tonight
14:44 Jason Firefox or whoever has the cam
14:45 Bruce da Moose boil boil boil
14:47 Jason Firefox I thought we were going for Union instead with your powers of prediction? :)
14:47 Bruce da Moose Steamboat
14:47 Graham no, I figured I would go with SPlendid so you all could see it on the webcam
14:48 Bruce da Moose Giantess is even doing well on the static cam.
14:48 Bruce da Moose Izzat Aurum? Can't quite tell
14:48 Jason Firefox could have sworn I saw it boiling when the cam zoomed past it
14:48 Bruce da Moose Is BHI going? Someone tell me these thngs please!
14:49 Graham all this excitement about non-erupting features
14:49 Jason Firefox i think aurum is a bit over to the left..
14:49 Jason Firefox That steam isn't Aurum
14:49 Bruce da Moose I know wher Aurum is - that's why i asked! :D
14:49 Bruce da Moose I saw a major steam blob where there isn;t one now
14:50 Graham must have been Aurum Bruce :)
14:50 Bruce da Moose (jumping up and down hysterically)
14:50 Jason Firefox still asteam blob on static
14:51 Bruce da Moose Only at BH - good splashing there
14:51 vw a lot more people on the boardwalk today. waddya suppose all those people at Lake were finally able to over to the UGB?
14:51 Jason Firefox unless my static is really delayed
14:51 Bruce da Moose End of season rush?
14:51 Bruce da Moose I do see Pump bakc thar...
14:52 Graham I can preduct that Pump will erupt again Bruce
14:52 Jason Firefox good prediction
14:53 vw I am actually thinking of next weekend as end of season rush Bruce. Last night at OF Inn for the year is the 10th. Snow Lodge closes shortly after that until the winter season starts. Most campgrounds are closed or closing.
15:09 Bruce da Moose I predict that am going to "lose it" and drive up there before end of season
15:10 Bruce da Moose Is the OF Lodge closed yet?
15:10 vw better hurry Bruce. Road closure, well....those not already closed that is.... November 2
15:10 Bruce da Moose I'm thinking of next week...
15:11 vw Plume 16:11 ie
15:11 vw camping still available in several spots. Both inn and Snow open next weekend, but no idea if full. most likely places in West available too.
15:12 Bruce da Moose I see Plume :-)
15:13 Bruce da Moose If I go, I'd try for space at the Inn or Lodge; Snow Lodge in a pinch
15:13 vw Lodge might be closed? of course the reservation site would tell you.
15:13 Bruce da Moose ...and bring those skivvies!
15:14 vw definitely time to be bring the winter gear!
15:15 vw mid weight at least!
15:15 Bruce da Moose Can i justify the expense of a 2,200 mile RT for maybe 5 days incluiding driving...hmmmm
15:16 Bruce da Moose about 100 gallons of gas, $3.25 per...
15:16 Loisb But its an emergency
15:16 Bruce da Moose 4 nites at $100 nite
15:17 Bruce da Moose 15 meals plus snacks...
15:17 Bruce da Moose Pick up Rich... ;-)
15:17 Loisb g
15:17 Bruce da Moose You too, lois?
15:18 Loisb sure why not - my pension check is due any day now
15:18 Loisb then I could even chip in on gas - g
15:19 Loisb and of course will bring my sleeping bag to cut down on nite costs
15:19 vw someone can toss their bag on the floor of my room on the 10th!
15:20 Loisb sounds like a plan
15:20 vw fair warning though: i plan to be up at o"dark 30 on the 11th!
15:20 Bruce da Moose Lois are you in CA?
15:20 Loisb no
15:20 Loisb wa
15:21 Loisb just a little detour
15:21 Bruce da Moose Yikes! I can;t drive up there! :-(
15:21 Loisb why not - we have roads
15:21 vw and it would only add about 800 miles Bruce!
15:21 Loisb only 600
15:21 Bruce da Moose Adds a whiole day drive - so then I drive 4 days for 1 day in the park?
15:21 Loisb 12 hours from Rich's to my house
15:22 Loisb sure
15:22 Bruce da Moose :'(
15:22 vw they you would be like me Bruce!
15:22 Loisb we can take turns driving once you get this far
15:22 Loisb I will make you brownies
15:22 Bruce da Moose I just don' have the time...
15:23 Loisb life is short you know
15:23 Bruce da Moose I know it all too well.
15:23 Loisb is that just casual steam at indicator?
15:23 vw in all seriousness Bruce, how long does it take you to drive to the park?
15:24 vw none of the people at BH are jumping up to look down at Indicator...guessing either casual steam or casual waiters.
15:24 Bruce da Moose If I get on Highway 80 and go like blazes - 85 mph where possible and limited potty breaks - about 14 hours
15:24 vw thats not too bad for 1100 miles.
15:24 Bruce da Moose I did it less once, but I drove almost 100 mph across Nevada - I won't do that again
15:25 Bruce da Moose Actually about 1,000 even to the WY park entrance
15:25 Bruce da Moose then a couple hundred inside
15:25 vw just want to time if so you get plenty of rest at the end of each trip. drive can be ******* teh body.
15:25 vw i like speed. you can ride with me. :D
15:26 Bruce da Moose I usually start at 0300 and drive until I get there about 6 pm...then crash until sunrise
15:26 vw but I suppose driving that fast with Nick bouncing around in the back seat screaming "Daddy, Daddy, slow down" wasn't much fun...
15:29 vw its faster to get to the south entrance for you than West?
15:29 Bruce da Moose Well - time for me to leave and go home to my family.
15:29 vw i would have though crossing the sierra nevada's would take longer.
15:29 Loisb safe drive
15:29 Bruce da Moose WY - West Yellwostone
15:29 Loisb just a hop over a hill
15:30 Bruce da Moose Highway 80 across SN and Nevada, then up to Twin Falls and WYell - fastest way
15:30 vw ahhh. my error. thought you meant wyoming!
15:30 Bruce da Moose Crossing sierra is fast
15:30 Bruce da Moose Sorry!
15:31 Bruce da Moose Gotta go - later folks
15:31 Loisb 80 makes it easy
15:31 vw I m signing off too. heading home. need to put my feed up and turn off my brain.
15:31 vw see ya"all in a bit from my armchair.
15:31 Loisb safe drive to you as well vw
15:31 Loisb yep - will hold Beehive till you get home
15:49 Loisb OF 1648
16:01 takes_me_nowhere someone in here?
16:02 lcd I think the indicator is on.
16:03 lcd 17:00 ie
16:03 Loisb I think so also
16:04 Loisb for several minutes now
16:04 lcd too regular fo be out of BH.
16:04 Loisb are you on the streaming cam?
16:04 lcd yes
16:04 Loisb it is in the right spot on the static cam for indicator
16:05 Loisb don't think anyone has moved it lately
16:06 lcd little puff out of BH but most of the steam is Indicator.
16:06 Loisb thx
16:06 Loisb should be getting close
16:06 lcd did you see the start?
16:07 hangtown sorry all....I left the page open when I left for wk....
16:08 lcd Kitt just called, it is the Indicator.
16:08 Loisb I might have been a little slow - the first capture I got was at 501 - but seemed like it was going for a couple of minutes before
16:08 Loisb just wasn't sure if it was steam or real
16:08 hangtown wow my timing is good today
16:08 vw wow!
16:08 Loisb very good
16:08 vw thought i would have missed B
16:08 vw oops....BH

16:13 Loisb I got it at 1711 on the static as well
16:13 lcd I had BH 1710?
16:13 Loisb me too
16:13 vw would have to check the logs lcd. i wasn't watching for a few seconds.
16:14 Loisb a very nice Beehive
16:16 lcd double interval less than 28 hours.
16:16 cb Nice!!
16:17 lcd it may wait for daylight tomorrow.
16:17 Loisb lets hope
16:17 Kent Very Nice!
16:17 Loisb indeed
16:19 Loisb now I guess I can fix supper
16:19 lcd anything on Grand today?
16:21 Loisb haven't seen anything since I have been on here but haven't gone back though the log
16:21 lcd I didn't see anything but I could have missed it.
16:37 Graham guess I missed BH here
16:37 Graham not feeling that good, had to lay down
16:37 Graham maybe tomorrow
16:38 Graham see you
16:38 vw take care Graham
16:38 Loisb sorry - you got the plague thats going round?
16:38 Loisb will up load a nice one for you
16:38 Graham no, don't think so
16:38 Loisb take care
16:38 Graham thanks, see you
16:38 Loisb bye
16:48 Loisb you still here vw?
16:50 vw in and out LoisB
16:51 Loisb in your spare time check out Pauls FB post on dropbox - it looks interesting for doc storage
16:54 Loisb looks like activity back by the trees
16:55 vw here for a bit now.
16:55 vw Yeap, some steam down basin behind hill. can't tell what.
16:55 Loisb got the herd taken care of?
16:55 vw just me and the dogs this weekend. They are playing now so not pestering me!
16:56 vw you on gma duty this weekend?
16:56 Loisb isn't quiet nice
16:56 Loisb yep
16:56 vw few people appreciate quiet. I certainly do!1
16:56 Loisb they did hire a college girl for weekday mornings to take him to daycare
16:57 vw trying to figure out your "dropbox" reference. here on this page?
16:57 Loisb nice clouds at washburn
16:57 Loisb no - Paul has a post about it on
16:57 Loisb FaceBook
16:57 vw aahh.
16:57 Loisb thought maybe it would be something you could use
16:57 vw don't have him on my FB i guess!
16:58 Loisb ah
16:58 vw don't really do much fbing
16:58 Loisb shall forward the link to you
16:58 Loisb omp
16:58 vw thanks!
16:59 Loisb know i sure could have used it back in the day when I was hauling docs back and forth between home and the office
16:59 Loisb  
https://www.getdropbox.com/referrals/NTk5MzQ1OTk
17:01 vw call. brb
17:01 Loisb k
17:05 vw back.
17:05 Loisb wb
17:06 vw anyway, legal profession a little leary of online storage. confidentiality is the issue, and if an online storage system is hackable, not a good thing.
17:06 Loisb anything is hackable if you have those skills
17:06 vw most attorneys are still just using removable harddrives or small usb storages.
17:06 Loisb thats why i won't use online banking - know too much about the network
17:07 Loisb flash sticks are so big now - just got a 4 gig one for $7
17:07 vw I have a hardrive that I back up my work computer to that goes everywhere with me. its encrypted too.
17:07 Loisb very good
17:08 Loisb then when you defend me on an insanity plea i will know my secrets are safe
17:08 vw but the dropbox thing might be kind of nice for my ynp stuff! files are getting rather huge. worry about losing all that if my computer crashes as I don't back up my laptop often enough!
17:08 vw hahahahaha! ABSOLUTELY!
17:08 Loisb 2 gig is not bad for free
17:09 vw no matters have a higher degree of confidentiality than sanities, except abuse and neglect of children matters.
17:09 Loisb I did their tour and it looks better than most for secure
17:09 Loisb when I do in my dil's Mom I plan to plea insanity - she is causing it
17:10 vw i have always said insanity is inherited...you get it FROM your family.
17:10 Loisb I used to think you got it from your kids but have expanded my view
17:10 vw yeap! me too since practicing law!
17:11 Loisb you have improved my view of lawyers though - after working on a bunch of DOJ stuff I was ready to do away with them by the hundreds
17:11 Ryan I missed BH didnt I?
17:11 vw oh, don't worry! me too!
17:11 Loisb yes you did Ryan
17:11 Ryan Lol

06:40 Kent I have 1216 on Tuesday so my record must be wrong.

08:54 Bruce da Moose We get a nice colling breeze - but our coldest weather comes from over land
09:08 Graham Grotto steam cloud?
09:12 Bruce da Moose Hard to tell - it's position could be either G or Riverside
09:12 Bruce da Moose depending on wind and drift
09:12 Bruce da Moose It ain;t F&M or Ginat, for sure
09:12 Rich Pretty far left for Riverside
09:12 Rich not much wind drift today.
09:12 Graham yeah too early for riverside too if it went at 0004
09:13 Bruce da Moose I agree, but the top is right for Grotto too. Now I see bas emore clealry - I;d say Grotto

09:51 Rich brb, putting apples in the dehydrator.
09:51 Rich Hi Kent
10:02 Graham back
10:02 Derek Hi
10:02 Graham looks like all I missed was Daisy
10:02 Derek Yep
10:05 Rich And Daisy missed you, steamed away pining for you.g
10:06 Graham haha...I was nice to Daisy on my last trip, went and spent time with her
10:06 Graham and took lots of pictures
10:07 Graham OF 1106
10:09 Rich A jealous mistress.
10:10 Graham hard to see Daisy sometimes from F&M
10:10 Graham Link steam sometimes drifted right in the way
10:11 Ryan(Away) What hasve I missed
10:12 Ryan(Away) R sent me pics of BH to my phone bit that it, Aurum?
10:12 Ryan(Away) g2g ill b back later
10:14 Graham Grand should be in its window
10:16 Rich Well it isnt' in my window - Where'd it go? lol
10:16 Rich Fall in a hole?
10:16 Rich Lion?
10:17 Derek I'm zoomed in on Lion
10:17 Rich I know, just steam
10:17 Rich g
10:17 Derek Just a splash and steam
10:17 Graham it does that
10:17 Rich To anxious to see it.
10:17 Rich 3 days is a LONG time without geysers. lol
10:18 Graham so how many pies did you bring hom,e?
10:18 Rich only part of one, it got 'dropped'.
10:19 Rich Did bring a bag of apples, just put first batch in dehydrator.
10:19 Rich A couple of zip lock bags of pie dough.
10:19 Rich Going to make cinnamon sugar spirals later today.
10:20 Graham after you have made all those pies I guess the last thing you want to see is it siting on a plate for you to eat it
10:20 Rich yep, I manage quite nicely not seeing another apple pie until next year.
10:21 Rich We figured out over the years that the ones actually baking the pies have handled each pie at leat 5 times.
10:21 Rich least
10:21 Graham well you all do a good job raising money I bet
10:22 Rich The pies always sell out.
10:22 Graham Grand?
10:22 Graham maybe Oblong based on the steam shape
10:22 Rich I'll vote for Oblong
10:22 Rich I don't see any steam base.
10:23 Graham I dont see any water, probably Oblong 1121ie
10:24 Derek Oblong looked much more spectacular from the cam on the Inn Roof
10:25 Graham well you can see the water from there :)
10:25 Graham yeah its a great geyser and he didn't even mention the thumping it does
10:26 Derek Does Oblong ever empty its crater?
10:27 Graham oh yes. it overflows for a few hours, the start of the eruption is heavy overflow all over the rim acconmpanied by thumps
10:27 Graham during the eruption the crater empties. not sure if its completely empty because you are not allowed to get that close
10:27 Derek Now we have teo seperate steam plumes
10:27 Derek two
10:28 Graham loks like RIft and Turban
10:28 Graham and Oblong
10:29 Graham a few years ago Oblong was erupting in series. about 30 min after an eruption it could erupt again from an empth crater
10:29 Derek At least from the cam on the roof you get a better perspective of the distance between those geysers
10:29 Graham yes, it's very misleading on the streaming cam here
10:30 Graham Oblongs eruptions are longer this year than usual, normally about 6 min but more like 8min this year from the start of the heavy Overflow and thumping
10:30 Derek I'm not sure what zoom power Tom had on his tripod cam, but I think we have more on the tree cam.
10:31 Graham maybe. he got in as close as he needed though
10:31 Rich The steam down basin looks more like Grotto area.
10:32 Graham yep, grotto is still going
10:32 Derek I was reading in Scotts book about the Myriad group
10:32 Graham nice that they showed it from the Inn
10:32 Graham not a lot to see erupting tho
10:32 Derek Seems it once had some very impressive features
10:32 Graham White and Little Brother are the opnly ones I know pof active this year
10:33 Derek OK Graham, can you take over now please?
10:33 Graham yes. if you look at the logs on the gosa site from 1975ish you see Abuse and Spectacle
10:33 Graham sure
10:33 Derek I'll be called very shortly
10:35 Graham I guess last OF was a short based on the prediction?
10:36 Rich looks that way.
10:38 Rich  
http://lyall.tripod.com/geysers/index.html
just ran across this site.
10:38 Rich Of course what I was looking for was Crater Hills, and that page the image links are broken.
10:42 Graham yeah, interesting mix of features
10:42 Graham I have never been to Crater Hills..maybe next year
10:44 Rich Be sure to take the designated Bear bait person.
10:44 Rich g
10:44 Graham now the people left, Anemone erupts
10:44 Graham you volunteering Rich?
10:45 Rich First I saw of Crater Hills, was last year watching the Mt. Washburn cam and seeing steam out inthe Hayden.
10:45 Rich If I'm along, you don't have to worry, I'm a natural at bear bait. lol

12:54 Graham the indicator is still there
12:54 Rich my first capture was 13:52
12:55 Rich I was frozen before that.
12:55 Graham ok. I expected OF to go during it too

14:52 CC my work now deals directly with the VC
14:54 Graham BH was splashing earlier CC :)
14:54 Bruce da Moose But did it not play at 0811 this morning?
14:55 CC since it went at 8:11 it is too early

16:58 Rich k
16:58 Allan So, what's the scoop on beehive?
16:59 Rich Beehive date, time, interval 09/29/09 05:35:00 13:10 09/29/09 16:59 11:24 09/30/09 05:27 12:28 09/30/09 21:30 16:03 10/01/09 no report 10/01/09 13:25 ~15:59 10/02/09 no report 10/02/09 17:10 ~13:55 10/03/09 08:11 15:01
16:59 guest31578 Hi, you might like to see this
16:59 guest31578  
http://antwrp.gsfc.nasa.gov/apod/astropix.html
16:59 guest31578 Astronomy pic of the day
17:01 Allan That's a nice shot. Actually looks real.
17:01 Graham cool shot
17:01 Rich nice
17:02 Allan Last year some one put a photoshopped picture of OF and the Milky Way up on APOD.
17:02 Graham that was the full moon F&M day
17:02 Allan I was disappointed.
17:02 guest31578 years back there were good shots of Halley's comet at the old faithful area.
17:03 guest31578 nowadays you can tell what's real and whats been ps'd, mostly
17:03 Allan That must have been many years back. On its last visit Halley's comet was disappointing.
17:03 guest31578 hit and run. bye.
17:04 Rich bye
17:08 Allan Rich, get your pies baked?
17:12 Rich BH 10h interval now.
17:13 Rich OF ie 18:12:24 wc
17:14 Allan Wasn't today's BH interval closer to 7 hrs? 08:11 to 15:01 from your earlier post.
17:15 Allan That seems pretty short!!!
17:16 Rich not that reads 10/03/09 eruption at 08:11, interval 15h 01m
17:16 Rich Would have been a record for the year if it had been 7h
17:17 Rich spacing gets loused up when I copy and paste the date, time, intervals in
17:17 Allan Oh! now I understand. Dumb me.
17:18 Graham over 10 hours now, no record if it goes now
17:18 Rich I don't THINK SO!
17:18 Rich not you Grahma
17:18 Rich Allan doubting his 'intelligence'. g
17:19 Rich I'll see if I can get it so the bigger space is between eruptions.
17:20 Rich  
http://www.gosa.org/geysers/BEEHIVE/eruptions/Beeh…
17:30 Rich test:
17:30 Rich Beehive date, time, interval 09/29/09 05:35:00 13:10 09/29/09 16:59 11:24 09/30/09 05:27 12:28 09/30/09 21:30 16:03 10/01/09 no report 10/01/09 13:25 ~15:59 10/02/09 no report 10/02/09 17:10 ~13:55 10/03/09 08:11 15:01
17:31 Rich I'll work on it somemore tomorrow.
17:31 Allan That looks good. Thanks.
17:31 Rich k
17:31 Rich yw
17:32 Rich the big space is now between the date and the time.
17:33 Rich TEST2:
17:33 Rich Beehive date, time, interval 09/29/09 05:35:00 13:10 09/29/09 16:59 11:24 09/30/09 05:27 12:28 09/30/09 21:30 16:03 10/01/09 no report 10/01/09 13:25 ~15:59 10/02/09 no report 10/02/09 17:10 ~13:55 10/03/09 08:11 15:01
17:34 Allan I'm curious. How do you get all your times? I know Ralph has a monitor on BH, but he downloads only once a week as far as I know.
17:34 Graham Plume 1833
17:35 Rich The Beehive times are from this log file. if there are GOSA data available I post that. But it usually runs behind on current data.
17:36 Rich And most of the times if they take the format of 00:00 are from streaming cam, and 00:00:00 are from the time stamp on the static cam.
17:37 Rich When a report is missing I average the interval time and ~00:00
17:38 Rich If Lynn or someone has a daily report on geyserslist serv, I use that also.
17:38 Allan OK, You're diligent.
17:39 Allan Do you have a technical background?
17:39 Rich Not unlike a lot of folks in these parts I like Beehive, so I like to supply as many eruption times as possible.
17:39 Rich No, sir.
17:40 Allan So you don't do statistics, then.
17:40 Rich Just what was instilled in me by my Dad and Mom and college.
17:40 Rich g
17:40 Rich I had one course in College
17:41 Allan I'm (right now) studyig a neat computer language for statistics called R.
17:41 Rich I majored in Business Administration.
17:42 Allan Multitasking: move back and forth from here and R.
17:42 Rich just googled R
17:43 Rich got 216,000,000 hits on google
17:44 Rich Must be something there I'll be able to understand. g
17:46 Rich http://www.r-project.org/
17:46 Rich looks like I can download R here.
17:46 Allan R lets you take a column of data and easily get mean, standard deviation, make histograms, etc, etc.
17:46 Rich cool
17:46 Rich You mean I don't have to do these things in my head? wow. g
17:47 Allan Yes, that's the where you get the program. Also many many specialized pachages.
17:47 Rich Homework, YEAH!!!
17:47 Allan No you dion't even have to know the equations!!!!
17:48 Rich That's what I need.
17:48 Allan VMW teaches basic statistics at the university here in Eac Claire.
17:48 Rich I've been trying to make Quartro Pro do time intervals, don't understand it at all. I can do it faster in my head.
17:49 Rich Great
17:49 Allan I don't mind the equations. I just didn't want to write all the programs from scratch.
17:49 Rich understandable.
17:49 Rich I loved math.
17:50 Rich Had a really great 8th grade teacher, inspired me.
17:50 Allan As I recall, one of the hard things with Ralph's data is getting the time intervals into a useable format.
17:51 Allan I remember VMW saying she had problems with Excell and the time-date formats
17:51 Rich Quatro Pro converts to base number and then manipulates and then extracts the time.
17:52 Rich And so far I haven't found where it will handle both date and time together.
17:52 Allan I plan on looking at some of Ralph's data this winter. If I come up with something I'll let you know.
17:52 Rich More than likely it does, I just haven't figure it out.
17:52 Rich Great
17:52 Rich thank you.
17:53 Allan No problem!
17:53 Rich I guess I could always buy a quatro pro manual, but then that would take all the fun out of learning. g
17:55 Allan True. Do they actually sell Quatro Prio manuals anymore? I though everyone was using Excel.
17:56 Rich I'm 'slow', I shop at thrift stores and used book stores.
17:56 Rich eventually everything turns up.
17:57 Allan I shop used bookstores online. Thru amazon.com and abebooks.
17:58 Rich k
17:58 Allan I got a book on R from England this week.
17:58 cb Hi all!

06:02 Kent Warmer this morning than yesterday
06:02 Graham maybe its Plate since its steady steam?

06:05 Graham no, still looking. I also need to call karste sStage to see if they will pickup passengers from 11:17pm flight
06:05 vw morning CC
06:06 Graham their web site doesn't say what they are doing this winter
06:06 Kent Where do you fly into Graham?
06:07 Graham well it said 11pm somewhere but last year they did an 1130 pickup too that met up with the 1100 shuttle at Big Sky
06:07 Graham Bozeman and theres a Karst Stage shuttle down to west
06:07 CC I am going to change computers...LOOK FOR OF please
06:08 Kent Bozeman has just the right sized airport. I like flying in there
06:09 Graham so I fly out Friday afternoon and end up in West at about 2am and then get the 9am express snowcoach into OF
06:09 Graham on the boardwalk about 11
06:10 Kent I hope the offer the express again this year. The two times I have taken it I have been the only passenger
06:10 Derek Hmmmm. An express snowcoach?
06:11 Graham on the way out, 0645 express out, 0900 Karst Stage to BZN, gets there before noon, then flight home around 1300
06:11 Graham express is relative
06:11 Derek Ahhh
06:11 Derek 25 mph instead of 15mph
06:11 Graham they stop at Madison warming hut for bathroom break but they don't fdo any guided touring
06:12 Graham same speed, just no sightseeing stops
06:13 CC now Plume
06:13 CC 7:13
06:13 cb Plume 713
06:13 Graham they will stop briefly for wildlife or photo of Fountain group (if its not fogged in). Stopped for elk in the river close to the road, Eagle, Bobcat before
06:15 cb Looks like a dusting of snow around the bases of the trees
06:15 Ryan Next Plume should be 08:10 +/- 15mins
06:16 Graham the touring runs take the snow route through the Firehole Canyon and stop for the waterfalls there, then they go up the Freight Road behind Grand Prismatic Spring on the way in.
06:16 Graham On the way out they stop at Fountain Paint Pots. Express staus on the main road and doesn't really stop
06:16 Graham stays
06:16 Graham since I am going in and out at the weekend there have been several people on the snowcoaches
06:19 Graham time difference is 1h45min vs 2h30-3h
06:20 Ryan Riverside? or F&M
06:20 Graham unlikely to be F&M
06:20 Ryan Not F&M sry
06:20 Ryan Forgot it was yesterday
06:21 Ryan What is it
06:21 Graham Riverside probably, its about the right time
06:21 Ryan Riverside 0720
06:23 Ryan Did we miss OF????
06:23 CC no
06:24 Ryan Oh saw the steam going down its sides thought it mayve gone, not enough steam now i think bout it
06:24 CC Grand
06:24 CC 7:24 IE
06:25 Graham nice
06:25 CC thanks
06:25 Ryan Good job
06:27 Kent Grand 0727?
06:27 Ryan CC got it
06:27 CC Kent I had 7:24
06:27 CC that was NS
06:27 Ryan very ns
06:28 Kent I had to reload. meebo wasn't showing me posts
06:29 CC no problem
06:29 CC another of my favorite geysers
06:30 Ryan My top three are (1)Giant
06:30 Kent Grand can be very beautiful
06:30 Ryan (2)BH
06:30 Ryan (3)F&M
06:32 Ryan Lots of steam at Giantess
06:35 CC lots of folks out early this morning on the boardwalk
06:37 Graham need more people on the BW!
06:37 vw getting in their walk before the storm hits CC!
06:37 CC what is expected
06:38 vw storm should hit park any time. Snow, colder. 2 to 4 feet of snow possible above 5000 feet
06:39 vw that is total accumulations for the storm over the next couple of days i think.
06:39 vw our snow supposed to really start in earnest this evening here in Billings.
06:40 CC I wish the wind would blow in the other direction
06:40 CC to difficult to see OF
06:42 cb Think your going to be on wiper duty today CC
06:42 CC lol
06:43 CC OF 7:40 looks like a long
06:44 Graham are you calling the VC in the morning these days CC to get them started?
06:44 CC yes
06:45 CC they call me as well
06:46 CC what do you guys think is going on down basin
06:47 CC could it be oblong
06:47 Graham Grotto, Turban and Vent
06:47 Graham Oblong will be off the screen with wind in this direction
06:47 Graham the thick steam is Grotto
06:48 Graham not Giant because its not filling the screen
06:49 Graham could be Oblong too, looks like the steam is coming too far to the right for Vent
06:49 Graham let me run down and check....hehe
06:49 CC I don't think it is coming from the Grand area (turban, vent, etc)
06:56 Graham hard to watch for BH splashes with the wind blowing this way
06:56 CC agree
06:56 CC I was actually concentrating on Lion
06:57 Graham Lynn report coming out
07:00 CC thanks...always interesting and informative
07:03 Graham yeah interesting eruption of F&M
07:03 Graham nowadays all people need to hear is strange things going on and they need to get to F&M quick if River is on
07:04 Graham glad Kitt, Polly and Lynn got to see it
07:06 CC it will be interesting to see what the logger says
07:07 Graham yeah I saw that Ralph put the logger on F&M. Jens still hasn't posted his logger output
07:08 CC Lion 8:08 IE
07:09 CC moved the cam for a second and Lion went
07:09 CC busy morning on the cam

09:41 vw proud of those hardy folks.
09:41 Rich Good Northern stock.

09:47 Graham but the message was still effective
09:48 vw and much nicer than GET LOST!
09:48 Graham well I think some of them can probably read and not just watch cam pics
09:48 Rich forgot an apostrophe and added an extra are.
09:48 vw I didn't even wait for that guy to open a chat window. just blocked him.
09:48 vw I would certainly hope they can read G. Just wish more of them availed themselves of that wonderful of human abilities.
09:49 Rich Hard to tell sometimes, the way some of us change names.
09:51 Rich hi guest359382

09:59 Derek Another Grotto?
10:10 Graham or the same one?
10:10 Graham I am not sure we had Dome Rich
10:11 Graham I think we would have seen more eruptions ~every 15min
10:13 Graham I think we have just had cold weather steam
10:20 Rich I stuck it into the list so I can check reports to see if it went off. g
10:20 Rich I figure it was just steam, but trying to get a fix on it's location, now that the static is zoomed out so I can see it.
10:21 Rich good to know that it goes ever ~15m
10:21 Derek Graham
10:21 Graham every 15-25 I guess
10:21 Graham yes?
10:21 Derek Can I see water?
10:22 Rich OF?
10:22 Graham fairly thick steam, not sure I have seen water
10:23 Graham thats Butterfly Spring/Peanut Pool area
10:23 Derek Thats what I figured
10:24 Graham might just be weather playing tricks on us
10:26 Graham humidity is pretty high making everything steam
10:26 Derek PLH has water :-)
10:29 Derek Very lively Sawmill
10:30 Derek OK Graham, it's yours when you're ready.
10:32 Graham ok, got it
10:33 Derek Sawmill can be quite a large geyser when it's in the mood.
10:34 Derek Terra Cotta
10:34 Graham oh yes, its high bursts go way up
10:35 Graham theres another feature on the other side of the river too, just not sure with the perspective we have on this cam
10:38 Graham Little Squirt 1137ie
10:48 ashtonwyatt hi
11:02 Graham Plume 1201
11:16 Graham weather getting bad now
11:19 Graham OF 1219
11:22 Rich hi guest109679
11:30 Rich Hi Bruce
11:33 Graham hard to see much
11:35 Rich Shades of yesterdays
11:36 Graham yeah better start getting used to it I guess
11:36 Rich Get a good book handy.
11:46 Kent Big flakes on Parking Lot. Did we hear anything about the ovenight Beehive? Should have been around midnight?
11:47 Rich I haven't heard or seen anything.
11:47 Graham I think we will have to wait for the download. given the weather and F*M already gone I expect nobody was there
11:48 Rich Lynn only mentioned the 08:11 in her Oct 03 report
11:50 Graham plenty of room in the parking lot
11:50 Kent Didn't take long to go from summer to winter
11:51 Rich You getting moisture on the live cam?
11:53 Kent Snowing ******* live cam now
11:53 Graham yeah
11:54 Graham just had to zoom in si ots not focussed on the water
11:54 Graham so its
12:09 vw hi again. checked static and looked like snow. thought i would confirm.
12:11 Graham Castle 1311ie
12:13 Graham yeah not going to be many visitors today
12:13 vw Castle steam is pretty against the darker steam and weather behind it.
12:14 vw Admit that although I wouldnt mind being there, also pretty nice to watch this from my armchair in my warm and toasty home. :)
12:15 Graham yeah forecast is better for next weekend
12:15 vw just a smidge, which is just enough!
12:16 vw Hopefully will be accliimated to cooler temps by then. It is the from summer to winter that gets me every year!
12:21 Graham well it goes from 90% chance of precip to 20 which has to be better
12:22 vw for me it is less about the precip than the wind. Don't do wind well. windy here, but from the looks of that steam not too bad.
12:22 ashtonwyatt hi
12:25 vw hmm. 2nd time I have sen that name today.
12:25 vw didn't stay very long this time either.
12:26 Graham the wind has eased up. it was blowing harder earlier
12:26 Derek Back
12:26 vw calm makes a huge difference when temps are cold.
12:26 vw hi D.
12:27 Graham loks like Daisy is steaming a lot
12:29 vw G - when you were there, was Victory putting on its show?
12:30 vw I am kind of excited to spend some time watching it if it is still in play.

12:45 vw i admit i haven't ever paid it much attention. my bad. will from now on.
12:46 Rich wb guest31578
12:47 Graham the heavy overflow at the start is nice, the bursts are not that big really. then it makes nice noises as it goes down and leaves the huge empty crater

12:48 vw hi 31575. see some brightness that way on static. has it been there for a while?

12:48 Rich I'm on static, Dome is all the way to the right, behind the first row of trees
12:48 guest31578 Depression is fun, chugga chugga when it is emptying
12:48 Graham we looked at it earlier but it was not erupting
12:48 guest31578 No I saw Dome in the log
12:48 guest31578 was asking

12:49 Rich Will check against gesyerlist reports

17:24 Graham we are ok if we stay on the path right, the bison won't charge us if we are on the path?

17:26 Graham bison can't see you if you stand behind a tree, right?

06:03 cb watched em for most of the night last night....was about the only thing we could see!
06:03 vw from the looks of the fixed cam, snow must have come straight at the cameras. glad we have the wiper on this one!
06:04 cb sd you have snow this am?
06:04 cb do
06:04 vw had the regular stream on while i was watching tv and chatting online. some of those shots were kinda scarey with the people v bison!
06:04 vw some snow, but not much.
06:05 vw Cooke City and Red Lodge got hit pretty hard.
06:05 cb yep thought guy w the blue jacket was gunna get air!
06:05 vw Temperature here in Billings stayed right around freezing so think most turned back into rain before hitting the ground.
06:06 vw in reality do you have a sense of how far they were apart? I really was going omg, omg, omg.....
06:06 vw at one point could have sworn both the man and woman were trying to pet the bison!
06:06 cb no the depth perseption is had to gauge
06:07 cb thats what I thouhgt also
06:07 vw agree
06:07 vw THAT is when i am tempted to call the VC and suggest a ranger go do a walkabout!
06:08 vw restrained myself but kept hoping to see a hat...
06:09 vw forecasted temperature for the park has been lowered a few degrees for the weekend cb. Light snow predicted throughout too. If we are going to be sitting waiting we will want our cushions!
06:10 cb I thought about calling the vc also!
06:11 vw wouldn't blame the rangers for not wanting to be out in that wet weather, but a few of those bison were pretty frisky, and people in their midst was a little scarey. people should have been shooed away!
06:11 cb only have one foam-a da-cush, need to pick up another
06:12 cb yep especially in the fall relationship season!!!
06:13 vw mostly just a moisture barrier will be needed. i think i will have enough layers on for the padding. plus my natural padding of course!
06:13 vw good morning Derek
06:13 cb G and I were watching and really thought the guy in the blue jacket was gunna get lanched into the air
06:15 Derek Hi All
06:23 cb Hi Derek
06:27 Derek Oh dear, I'm alone with three women in the room :P
06:27 vw lucky you! :D
06:27 vw we are thousands of miles away though D. :(
06:27 Derek Maybe I need to learn self defence
06:28 vw well....we are a quick witted group of women.
06:31 cb A thorn between ...3 roses??? Ever heard that one?
06:31 vw or something to that effect
06:32 Derek More likely an Elk between three Grizzlys LOL
06:32 vw Mama Bear!
06:32 cb for me at least that would ring true.....
06:33 cb used to call myself .....mama bear to the teachers at my sons school.....
06:33 vw :D
06:34 vw I better get moving.
06:34 vw Court this am in Hardin. Need to get on the highway.
06:34 vw Hope all have a good day!
06:34 vw bye!
06:34 cb chow vw
06:34 cb have a great day....and drive careful
06:34 cb opps missed her
06:38 cb OF 738
06:38 cb there goes the cam lens
06:43 Derek I assume CC is out
07:31 Bruce da Moose Hi, guys
07:31 cb hey BDM
07:31 Derek Hi Mr Moose
07:31 cb brrrrr
07:32 Bruce da Moose yeah, here too!
07:32 cb 38 in pville
07:32 Bruce da Moose trying to type with gloves on...
07:32 Bruce da Moose about 45 down here at sea level
07:32 Derek 60 outside here
07:33 Bruce da Moose That's Fahreinheit for all you Celsius dudes...
07:33 cb I think he's lost!
07:34 Bruce da Moose Derek, that's the same temp as in my office
07:34 cb bad water droplets on the lens.
07:34 Derek You must have a real mean boss
07:34 Derek No heating
07:34 Bruce da Moose LOL The County is a skinflint...
07:35 Bruce da Moose My boss shivers toooooo
07:35 Bruce da Moose In january we'll have frost on the keyboards...
07:36 Bruce da Moose Static cam is a mess. All we can see is Lion steaming away. I guess Beehive would be visible...
07:37 Bruce da Moose The disc of the sun is just clearing the trees outside the building now - ah, radiant heat!
07:39 Bruce da Moose Deep winter already at OF - temps dropping into single F digits this week in the morning...
07:39 Bruce da Moose Well below zero C
07:41 Bruce da Moose How is the stream view? Frostbound too?
07:41 Derek Glass is covered with droplets
07:41 Bruce da Moose OK - more hopeful than the crust on the static cam
07:42 Bruce da Moose Does the stream cam have a heater on it? How cold can it get before it konks out?
07:43 Derek It hasn't done so far
07:43 Bruce da Moose Knock on wood...
07:43 Derek No heater but it is a sealed unit
07:43 Bruce da Moose That might help...
07:43 Derek As far as I know, all it has is a wiper
07:44 Bruce da Moose I see meltation on the concrete walk...
07:44 Bruce da Moose unless its glare ice
07:45 Bruce da Moose Well! I have a BIG report to write today, so i better get to it. later dudes and dudettes...
08:13 sparekitty  hey, this wiper is just like the one on my car! misses stuff until the 3rd or 4th pass.
08:21 Rich RE: earlier discussion about RR. Has anyone asked the Rangers if they would like to be notified?
08:23 sparekitty what's RR?
08:23 Rich Ranger Rick/Rhonda
08:24 sparekitty that was my first thought but seemed to obvious to be right! what are we notifying the rangers about? (i'm behind on the conversations...)
08:25 Rich in regards to dangerous situations visitors seem to be putting themselves in, like getting to close to the bison yesterday.
08:25 Rich Or what appears to be from the cams
08:26 Rich Hi sparekitty
08:26 Rich hi Derek
08:26 Rich Hi Kentishman
08:26 Rich hi guest102995
08:27 sparekitty stupid people amaze me! once when i was at porcelin basin, i saw a tourist send her SMALL CHILD to stand next to a large bull elk for a picture! my kids (10 and 7 at the time) commented even.
08:29 Rich I was at Yosemite, Wawona area, they have signs all over Don't Feed or pet the animals. There were 3 sets of parent with kids trying to get near fawns, with the does standing right there.
08:51 Rich Hi CC
08:51 Rich Bye CC
08:53 Rich hi guest304467
08:53 guest304467 good morning
08:54 Rich Ready to build a snowperson?
09:00 guest304467 i like the snow but i'm glad it's there and not here
09:00 Rich Sleigh bells ring, are you listening
09:14 Rich Static Cam appears to be down no new refreshes since 09:52:45
09:14 Rich Mt. Washburn is down also
09:14 Rich sorry make that Mammoth original
09:15 sparekitty and so starts the L O N G winter of messed up yellowstone webcams...
09:36 Rich A refresh finally after 40 minutes
09:37 Rich and I can almost see
09:37 Derek You're not missing much.
09:39 Rich Now I'll be able to see Bison again.
09:39 Derek I think Craig must have operated the live cam wiper because the glass is clear now but the visibility through the snow is not goo.
09:39 Derek d
09:39 Rich froze again
09:41 Rich Hmm, no new VC prediction for OF since last night.
09:43 Rich bb in a bit, have to run some errands.
09:43 Rich Maybe the static will thaw before I get back.
09:46 Bruce da Moose Well, the static thawed, but view is execrable.
09:48 Bruce da Moose Your $64 word for the day ;-)
09:48 sparekitty i'm guessing it's just a fancy word for "bad."
09:48 sparekitty too lazy though to look it up.
09:48 Bruce da Moose sparekitty wins the $64!
09:49 Bruce da Moose It means wretched or deserving of being cursed
09:50 Bruce da Moose We arwe getitng refreshes on a regualr basis anyway
09:51 Bruce da Moose My Moose-itis is acting up terribly today
09:51 Bruce da Moose Its da cold weather...
10:25 Kent Loving the current picture
10:35 Derek I'm going for tea now
11:22 guest31578 I -might- have seen some Beehive activity at 1105 MST. It was very hard to tell with the limited view and wind direction. If that meshes with the list report I guess I caught it! If not, then a steamy something or other.
12:05 Derek Hi Rich
12:06 Derek Hi Kitty
12:34 Rich What happened, did it storm in YNP? g
12:38 Rich hi vw
12:39 vw Hi Rich.
12:40 vw Been in court all morning. just trying to catch up here and with email over some lunch.
12:40 Rich Just snow on the cams
12:40 Rich I've been errand running.
12:42 vw odd how the picture on static is actually better except for the snow accumulation
12:43 Rich A function of available light probably.
12:50 vw rich, there is a comment earlier about a possible BH at 1105. were you frozen then?
12:51 Rich I was out of the house.
12:51 Rich I'll see if Lois saw it.
12:51 vw k. thx.
12:52 Rich Lois reports no sighting for her.
12:52 Rich but the static has had snow in the way most of the day.
12:53 Rich hi bojo
12:53 Rich got your gloves on, cold touching the keyboard.
12:53 bojo hello Rich
12:53 bojo plenty warm here!
13:01 vw gotta go.
13:20 sparekitty  hey derek; i must still be logged on at home. don't want you to think i'm ignoring you!
13:20 Derek No problem
13:20 sparekitty so what was the conclusion for BH? gone or are we waiting?
13:21 Derek I'm afraid I haven't really been looking
13:21 sparekitty no problem; just wondering.
13:22 Derek I finished my cam shift at 11:30 MDT. I'm just pottering around on the computer until bedtime
13:23 Derek BH could easily have gone during one of the periods when the cam glass was covered in droplets
13:23 sparekitty yeah; i turned the cam off entirely for a couple hours as i could see nothing at all.
13:24 Derek CC is at her daughters so she has no access to the cam wiper
13:24 Derek However I think Craig h*******d it a couple of times
13:54 Derek Goodnight All
13:56 Rich hi cb
13:56 Rich On the road?
14:13 Bruce da Moose  Well! Pretty quiet here just now...
14:13 Bruce da Moose I see three spare kitties!

14:13 Bruce da Moose oops - scratch the Rich...
14:13 Bruce da Moose not the itch
14:15 Bruce da Moose Static cam looks much better, still some frozen stuff on the shield...
14:19 Rich View has greatly improved, now if something were to happen.

14:37 Rich looks like a snow machine.
14:37 Bruce da Moose My fingers are getitng numb just looking a it.
14:38 Bruce da Moose Doesn;t help that the AC is on the room :-(
14:38 Rich it is only 64 inside today.
14:38 Rich started the day inside at 61.
14:41 Bruce da Moose Looks like a north wind...
14:41 Rich yep

15:05 Graham yeah. Pat had a screen shot
15:05 Rich Most of the snow has melted off the static cam.
15:06 Graham yeah I noticed you couldn't see much today
15:06 Rich Just in the last couple of hours or so.
15:07 Graham nothing posted by Lynn either so we are blind

15:08 Rich Just OF and Beehive now.
15:09 Graham can't even see Plume with this wind
15:09 Rich Something at Grand area now.
15:10 Graham yeah maybe Turban or Turban and Vent
15:10 Graham I am surprised the snow didn't melt earlier
15:11 Rich With it blowing away from us, I can't see enough to tell.
15:11 Graham just doesn't look big enough steam cloud for Oblong in this weather
15:12 Graham its a pretty thick cloud though, might be Oblong. Its not Grand anyway
15:12 Rich To dark for me to see my regular markers.
15:13 Graham Bison behind Split COne - off the static view

16:10 Graham a maybe Plume at 1709
16:11 Graham haha I guess I didn't read what I read there...
16:11 Graham "I promise consistency — maybe not fairness, because what may be fair to one person may seem unfair from another’s point of view. "
16:11 Graham or read what I wrote either
16:14 cb lol
16:15 cb brb
16:16 Rich k
16:17 Rich hi guest921902
16:18 Graham he may be violating our Leadership and SUpervision Ethics if hes not fair
16:19 Graham somehow I don't think it allows you to substitute consistancy for fairness
16:21 Graham ok, back to geysers

16:23 Rich Hi Allan
16:24 Allan Hi Rich
16:24 Allan Hi cb

17:01 cb sounds like politically correct psychobabble! covering all his basis
17:02 Allan He's trying to connect with his employees.
17:02 Allan Perhaps he thinks fancy words make up for low pay.

18:08 Allan I thought so. Do your clients appreciate it?
18:09 vw even there cb. sorry. client text, client email. yuck.
18:09 Graham that's why you are not in the park enough
18:09 vw Heck no Allan!
18:09 Allan I thought that, too.
18:09 Graham now it stopped ~11min
18:10 cb close eyes and imagine yourself sitting on a bench at ...... Fountain....blue sky, warm sun, ....quiet...birds in the background....ahhhhhh
18:10 vw anybody checked the temp in the basin lately?
18:10 vw ahhhhh
18:10 vw exept we won't have blue skys and warm sun this weekend!
18:10 cb visually guilded meditation

10:06 Allan hi Rich
10:15 Bruce da Moose Darn it! I missed CC...
10:25 Allan Weather Channel says it's 31 degrees at OF
10:25 Allan More snow tomorrow.
10:25 Derek It's 66 outside here
10:26 Allan Do you get much snow in England, DereK?
10:27 Derek Not in this area. We get our climate warmed by the Gulf Stream
10:27 Derek Vary rare for us to get heavy snow
10:28 Allan I wondered. I used to live east of NYC by the ocean. Not much snow --most of the time.
10:28 Allan Where are you located?
10:29 Derek 35 miles east of London and south of the river Thames
10:30 Derek During the 1970s I use to visit an old friend in Upstate NY. They got lots of snow there, but he was up in the Adirondaks
10:31 Allan Yes, lake effects off of Lake Ontario.
10:32 Derek One winter it got so cold his central heating oil froze
10:32 Allan We have a house near Lake Superior. We have at least 3-4 feet of snow on the ground all winter.
10:33 Allan I believe that about the heating oil.
10:35 Derek He lived in a village called Old Forge
10:36 Derek Since I was last there in 1979 they re-opened the Adirondack Railroad.
10:37 Allan Where does the railroad go? I've been to the Adirondacks a few times, but don't recall it.
10:38 Derek Utica to Lake Placid originally, but at this time only as far as Carter Station, which is just north of Old Forge
10:39 Derek Apparently it is so popular that they just cant run enough trains
10:39 Allan That's interesting.
10:40 Derek http://www.adirondackrr.com/
10:43 Allan I see it goes to Saranac Lake. I was there once. In 1955, or thereabouts. Guess I'm dating myself!
10:44 Derek They have 2 seperate sections open
10:44 Derek Lake P to Saranac Lake is the northern section
10:45 Derek The middle section has yet to be restored

15:25 mab I will prob go down this weekend, I have to get my bike
15:26 Graham ah yeah, time to vacate the basin ma?
15:26 sparekitty is it safe to bike at the park? especially at this time of year, i'd be wary of ice on the roads?
15:26 Allan That's too soon for high of 0.
15:26 Graham may get an F&M if you can stay
15:26 Loisb I froze - must be time for Beehive
15:26 Allan Later in December is okay :)
15:26 mab I just cropped a photo of the solder station with the outhouses that go right into the firehole. oh those were the days.
15:27 Graham haha......I wonder wherte the environmental impact documentation went before they built those :)
15:27 mab I might ride it, but mostly just go to get it before it disappears for the winter. I don't have chains on it to get to F&M this time of year.
15:27 sparekitty i see...
15:27 mab And the best camping spots were downstream at Riverside
15:28 Graham that was far enough downstream?

06:03 vw surprisingly little steam in the basin for as chilly a morning as it is.
06:04 vw 27 F with 84 relative humidity at OF now. should be perfect conditions for heavy steam.
06:05 cb Saturday night is supposed to be -3 with a real feel of -12
06:08 Derek Hi

06:11 cb sorry couldn't resist

06:24 Derek 07:24 ie
06:24 cb we'll have to do a group cam shot...
06:24 Derek That would be nice
06:24 vw :)
06:25 Dry Diggins Dan looks like 50% of this chat room will be there
06:25 Derek Rich, the mafia man will be there I think
06:25 cb really?
06:25 Derek Maybe he'll take you all prune picking
06:26 vw IF there were plums in the park, either they would be frozen today or am thinking the bears would find them tasty morsels!
06:26 Derek Heres what Bruce J emailed me:
06:26 Derek I thought I should tell you, will be in YNP starting tomorrow nite through Sunday PM. Rich will be there too. To the extent we can (given the weather), we can be in contact during your cam shift by cell phone.
06:27 Derek So there'll be 2 mafia men there.
06:27 Derek Bruce is a member of the Bear Spray mafia LOL
06:28 cb OMG!!!!

06:38 Derek If someone takes a group pic, I'd like a copy
06:39 vw I am guessing there might be a few cameras amongst us d!
06:39 vw AND am sure LoisB will be on capture duty!
06:42 vw without recent BH intervals, hard to say if we missed it this morning before light.
06:43 vw last nights eruption would indicate there was just before sunrise yesterday.
06:43 cb need to get ready for work.

06:58 vw I have been watching it on still and puffs, but nothing regular
07:00 vw some serious puffs out it but then they disappear
07:00 Michael That's good news. I don't think it would be puffing if we all just missed it.
07:01 vw hoping you are right!
07:01 vw I am delaying my departure for the office in that hope!
07:03 Michael Second Burst!
07:05 Michael Maybe. Might have been a deep lull in the first...
07:05 vw so hard to say with all the steam!
07:07 Michael Well, looks like the party is over now in any case.
07:08 vw BH still puffing!
07:11 vw good morning CC
07:12 Michael I can't keep waiting for it today. Maybe it will erupt right when I'm between errands. If so I'll pop back in to watch.

07:31 Allan We are pretty good today.
07:32 Allan The weather has cleared (rain all day yesterdy).
07:32 vw you gonna get hit with this canadian cold front that is swooping down on us here?
07:32 Allan I'm hoping to paint on the house today.
07:33 Allan I heard something about it in a few days.
07:33 Allan I was going to ask you about your weather. Figured your weather would be mine a couple days later.
07:35 vw sorry... work. :(
07:35 vw we were supposed to get rain, snow and colder later today. Rain already started here now.
07:36 vw MUCH cooler with forecast for Billings over the weekend in the 20s with lows in the teens almost single digits.
07:37 Allan Well, you have to eat! Methinks I'd better go get supplies and get started. I'll drop by at lunch time. (12:00 central).
07:37 vw have a good day! happy painting!
07:43 vw gonna get in on laptop. be back in a flash.
07:47 vw ok. serious wierdness. chat can be opened on one computer, only vid on the other. refreshes are not working.

09:49 Allan Well, 'twas a short lunch. Back to work.
09:49 Allan BH was 8:51 ie according to Derek. Guess he'd know :)
09:49 sparekitty dang! thx.
09:50 Derek That was ie
09:50 Derek I didn't see the start
09:51 Derek Much of it was hidden by steam from O.F. Preplay
10:06 Derek 11:06 Lion ie
10:16 Jason Firefox looks rather chilly there today
10:45 CC looks like it is starting to snow in the basin
10:45 Jason Firefox yes, it does
10:45 CC hi Jason...haven't seen you around for a while
10:46 Kent Parking lot cam a little strange right now:
http://www.nature.nps.gov/air/WebCams/parks/yellca…
10:46 sparekitty that's th eparking lot cam?!
10:46 CC hi Kent
10:46 Kent Hi CC
10:47 Kent It's what I got when I clicked on parking lot :^)
10:47 CC when did you say you were leaving
10:47 CC soon I thought
10:48 Kent In the morning. Delayed a day by tree cutters
10:48 CC drive safely
10:48 CC say hi to everyone for me!!
10:48 Kent Will do. Hoping for dry roads but that may be a little much to wish for.
10:55 Jason Firefox hey CC, just been busy lately
10:55 Jason Firefox lots of work to do
11:22 CC OF 12:21
11:26 CC Lion 12:26 IE
12:04 Allan You can get the temperature at Old Faithful on the Weather Channel. Just type in the zip code there. It's 82190 Right no it's 33 degrees there.
12:05 vw Allan, do you have the link that Kent sent several weeks ago for the conditions at the OF Ranger Station?
12:05 vw (just back from lunch. sorry i left my browser open)
12:06 vw http://www.wrh.noaa.gov/mesowest/getobext.php?sid=OFAW4&table=1&banner=off
12:07 vw I need to remembe the OF zip though. everytime i am in a noaa site i think of all the zip codes i wish i knew!
12:07 Allan No, I don't. I didn't see it. The Weather Channel used to identify the data given when you use 82190 as Old Fathful. Now they just say YNP
12:08 vw yeah, that is what i am finding with most of the weather stuff too. thats why i have YNP, West and Gardiner in my NOAA favorates tab
12:08 vw figure that way i can kinda guess what is going on wherever my plans are likely to take me.
12:09 Allan vw, I followed your link. That's cool. I always wanted to do some correlations on weather and geyser activity. NOAA must archive their data.
12:09 vw i wish they would change the temperature information on the static page to the OF info. while Lake is fairly close, the weather in the two places can be quite a bit different.
12:10 vw do you have the mesowest link? That is great one for multiple checks in the area too. coming up.
12:10 vw  
http://www.wrh.noaa.gov/mesowest/mwmap.php?map=mt
12:10 Allan I'm going to tell V. There's potential for enough research to keep one busy forever.
12:11 vw the drop down boxes update i think hourly on that page, but the temps read more current.
12:11 vw ooohhhh FUN!
12:11 Allan I didn't have the mesowest link. Thanks.
12:11 vw np.
12:12 vw Ultimately need to thank Kent. He has sent me several of the weather links, knowing that i am facinated.
12:13 vw on mesowest, double click and it pulls up more specific tracking info on most of the sites.
12:13 Allan 15 years ago I was going nuts trying to find weather for some environmental modeling I was doing. Now that I don't need it, there's plenty of data.
12:13 vw :D
12:14 Allan I have to go now. Back to painting and there's a fellow here to talk about more work.
12:14 Allan Catch you later.
12:14 vw bye! have fun.
13:07 peter1211 hi there
13:07 peter1211 whats up
13:20 Jason Firefox I don't care what temp it is right there now.. i'd love to be strolling the basin :P
13:53 CC Lion is trying
13:53 CC been that way for a while
13:57 Derek Goodnight All
13:57 CC night
13:57 sparekitty night derek!

16:17 Loisb Bruce picked him up last nite and they drove all nite
16:17 Loisb missed Beehive
16:17 Dry Diggins Dan That is SOOOOOOO cool
16:17 Dry Diggins Dan was this planned?
16:17 Loisb I was a nagging big sister
16:18 Loisb last minute plan
16:18 Dry Diggins Dan Bruce said something to me about maybe picking up rich on the way....
16:18 Loisb Rich didn't think he could go but I sent him off for new camera and his pills
16:18 Loisb and he did
16:19 Loisb called him from the 70 turnoff
16:32 Loisb look at that sky - do you have that white burn though the clouds on the streaming?

17:07 Allan bbl
18:12 Loisb OF 1909

October 8th, 2009

05:57 CC morning
05:57 Derek Hi CC
05:58 CC just had to wipe the window
05:58 CC snow on the lens
05:58 CC not sure what we are going to be able to see at this time
05:58 Derek The static cam is not so lucky :-)
06:00 Derek Apart from the usual dish washing and bed making, I will be here until teatime :-)
06:00 CC good..thanks
06:00 CC I am going out around noon but should be back when you go to tea
06:00 CC anything happening your way
06:01 CC windy here but warm
06:01 Derek 66 and sunny here
06:21 vw good morning.

06:22 CC morning sleepy head
06:22 vw a little foggy in the basin this am.
06:22 CC difficult to see anything
06:22 vw been up for a while, but just not moving too fast!
06:22 vw with the fog maybe we can hope for some bison!
06:22 CC not sure I am even going to be able to tell when OF erupts
06:23 vw yep, and looks like still isn't any better.
06:23 vw maybe Bruce and Rich are up and will send reports!
06:24 CC I tried to call him on his phone again yesterday but it didn't pick up
06:24 Derek Dishwashing starts now. Back in a few minutes
06:24 CC k
06:24 vw need a snow brush on a very long pole for the static cam.
06:24 vw bye D
06:24 vw cb and Bill should be there soon too?
06:25 vw asked her to text me when they arrived safe and sound.
06:25 CC I think they were driving straight through
06:25 CC good
06:25 vw that was my impression too.
06:25 vw Kent left at 7, and will get text from him when he gets to West
06:26 CC my eyes are getting strained from looking at OF
06:26 CC I think he expects difficult driving
06:26 vw probably an exercise in futility
06:26 vw K does?
06:26 vw weather actually looks clear for him.
06:26 CC maybe it cleared then
06:27 vw the storm is coming out of the north, so he should arrive ok
06:27 vw COLD comes in tonight
06:27 CC happy to hear that
06:27 vw will make current temps look almost balmy
06:27 CC winter approaches
06:28 vw rather quickly.
06:28 vw glad to be home?
06:28 CC yes but of course I miss the kids
06:28 CC they are so loveable at their ages
06:28 CC and innocent
06:28 vw and exuberant!
06:30 CC are you going into the office today
06:30 vw remembered i got an on the ground report last night about Mammoth.
06:30 CC ??
06:30 vw 3 inches of slushy snow at about 8 last night.
06:30 vw yeap, going into office.
06:30 vw my second home
06:30 CC I am planning on sewing for a good part of the day
06:30 vw text from cb. brb
06:31 vw in Island Park. no snow.
06:31 CC k
06:35 vw they might arrive at the west entrance before the rangers
06:35 vw okay.... do you have a sewing room set up in your home?
06:35 CC yes
06:35 vw I always wished for one, but all the rooms had kids in them.
06:36 CC I have a balcony on my upper floor and I have the sewing machine and table up there
06:36 CC It really is just a landing and wasted space so I am making use of it
06:36 vw that is nice. still leaves you kind of connected to rest of the house.
06:37 vw :) never felt there was such a thing as wasted space...i can fill up ANY and EVERY space in a home!
06:37 vw do you have a large store of fabric?
06:38 CC too much in my stash
06:38 vw most quilters i know shop everywhere they go for fabric.
06:38 CC and we quilters save all scraps for another project
06:38 vw but then until now, every quilter i have known was from MT where fabric stores are sometimes hard to come by
06:38 CC crazy!!
06:38 vw i should share my stores with you.
06:39 Derek Back
06:39 CC a lot of places have closed because of the economy
06:39 vw that was quick D! figured i would be gone by now.
06:39 vw we just do not have enough people for fabric stores to do well.
06:40 vw i used to sew a lot of upholstery items. finding good fabric was impossible sometimes.
06:40 CC cody and greybull have some nice quilting stores
06:40 Derek Just working my way through some grapes I found in the kitchen :P
06:40 vw i think we have a couple of quilting stores here now too.
06:40 vw no much of a lunch D!
06:41 Derek Already had lunch
06:41 vw i wish i had time to sew again. always loved it.
06:41 vw ahhh. afternoon snack?
06:41 Derek Yep
06:41 vw at least you are eating something good for you!
06:42 vw looks like the fog has lifted a bit in the basin
06:58 CC I bet walking on the boardwalk is slippery
06:58 vw probably why those folks are on the gravel!
06:58 vw Smart!
07:00 CC the folks waving at the cam got their 1 minute of fame
07:00 CC they kjnew right where to stand
07:01 vw that so many people know that shows how popular the cams are
07:01 vw i best be off.
07:01 CC have a nice day
07:02 vw have a good day! will probably log in after dealing with pile of mail.
07:45 vw Back a little sooner than I thought! Another msg from the missing cam operator: "Road from west gate to OF is only road open for now in the park. found snow!"
07:46 Derek 08:46 Old Faithful
07:46 vw ahhh. the fog lifted enough to see!
07:47 vw at the office, working, so will mostly just watch.
07:49 Derek I can't be 100% sure but that looked like a short. It was around 2 minutes
08:38 sparekitty how do they know they're on cam?
08:38 sparekitty that man should NOT stand on the bench!!
08:39 Derek I was trying to figure out if they are people we know
08:39 sparekitty that would be COOL! i understand rich is going to the park. it would be neat to see him on cam!
08:39 Derek CB and Bill, Bruce and Rich are all in the park
08:44 Derek I've never been there but I imagine the cam is quite visible from where they are standing
08:46 sparekitty i don't think the cam is really close to where everybody is
08:46 sparekitty it has been moved though since i was there last.
08:47 Derek Both cams are on the same tree
08:51 Derek Going downstairs for a few minutes to get a cuppa :-)
08:57 vw - kinda working sparekitty, you there? working and watching here.
08:58 sparekitty same here. i should really b ONLY working. .i have a HUGE grant that needs to go out on tuesday!
08:58 sparekitty what's up?
08:58 vw - kinda working Cam is actually fairly easy to find if you know where to look
08:59 vw - kinda working on a tree between the temp vc and of
08:59 vw - kinda working i should be working too but have zero desire!
09:03 Derek You have an important job vw
09:04 Derek Some poor guy on a bum murder rap hoping you're going to get him off.
09:04 Derek ;-)
09:05 vw - kinda working :)
09:06 vw - kinda working actually D, my mantra is NO criminal law. purely civil practice.
09:06 vw - kinda working most of my clients are crazy or just stupid!
09:06 Derek Quite boring then
09:06 vw - kinda working quite
09:07 vw - kinda working that is a seriously cool picture of the basin with the fog/clouds
09:07 vw - kinda working brb
09:40 vw - kinda working did the static cam picture get worse? looks like snow is slipping down! maybe will slip right off eventually.
09:48 Allan Hi Derek, vw
09:48 Derek Hi
09:48 Allan Any sign of cb and B?
09:49 Derek Not so far
09:49 Allan Looks like a beautiful day in the in UGB
09:50 Allan My kind of winter weather. Snow on the ground and bright blue sky.
09:55 Derek 56 outside here
09:55 vw - kinda working hi Allan.
09:56 Allan Hi vw
09:56 vw - kinda working get that painting done?
09:56 Allan I guess you don't get smart clients
09:57 vw - kinda working good portion of my clients are sanity clients. Often quite smart, also often quite deluded!
09:57 vw - kinda working others, involved in divorces and dependent neglect cases can be considered to have done something stupid or acting kinda stupid!
09:57 Allan No to finishing the painting. Had to prep some surfaces and wait. It will take a few days.
09:58 vw - kinda working get it done before the cold?
09:58 Allan It's not going to get tooo cold here. Highs in the 40s will give me a few hours per day to work.
09:59 vw - kinda working thats not too bad!
09:59 Allan Here I thought lawyers had a better class of people to work with. (Better than, say, police officers.)
10:01 Allan Well, I'd better get back to work. Will catch you all later.
10:01 Allan Plume 11:01 wc
10:02 vw - kinda working think of all the really smart people you know who have gone through divorces....often not some of their better moments. Thats when i see these people. we have all had moments when we acted like that.
10:02 vw - kinda working those moments are what we need lawyers for.
10:02 vw - kinda working i gotta go too. have a good day Allan!
10:02 vw - kinda working bye for me for a while too.

13:33 CC next day BH took us 4 minutes to see

14:07 Derek Hi vw
14:07 vw hi CC, all!
14:07 vw sorry, been away.
14:07 CC they have been waiting on BH for a very long time
14:07 vw oh no!
14:08 vw well, better today than tomorrow or saturday!
14:08 CC probably like 2 1/2 hours at the least
14:08 vw although probably small consolation to them now!
14:08 CC it is boiling
14:08 vw maybe i should bring some hand and feet warmers!
14:08 CC good idea
14:09 vw will add them to my costco list!
14:09 CC they are probably having a great time just chatting and waiting
14:09 vw i hope so!
14:09 vw are they all out there?
14:09 CC Rich, Bruce.Carol Bill
14:10 vw k is supposed to be there to, but my phone is in the shop until i pick it up in an hour so don't know if got a text from him yet.
14:10 CC I think Lynn was there for a while but I don't see her now
14:10 CC I don't see him
14:10 Derek OK Ladies, it's time for me to go.
14:10 CC have a good night D
14:10 vw had mentioned going to the lower basin today, but don't know what his final plans were.
14:10 vw Good nite D!
14:10 Derek Goodnight All
14:11 sparekitty--not ignoring you, working like a crazy woman! night derek!
14:11 vw think the only time we got on BH yesterday was around 0800, so no telling when its last was.
14:11 vw ahhhh!
14:13 vw new weather alert just came out for Billings. snow, 2-4 inches later tonight. icy roads. 40 F here and the sun is out now.
14:13 CC Lion 15:13
14:13 CC the group didn't even turn around for Lion
14:13 CC okay..now they did
14:16 vw looks fairly windy there.
14:16 CC as long as the winds blows away from the cam it is okay
14:16 CC of course you may get sea-sick
14:17 vw does not bother me at all!
14:18 vw mesowest says 35 F with winds of 9 gusting to 13 for a wind chill of 28. That will be balmy in their memory by Saturday
14:18 CC are you still planning on going if the weather is bad
14:20 vw yeap. Arranged with my mother to borrow her Forrester. Very dependable vehicle and it needs to be driven on the hiway.
14:21 vw Cold doesn't stop me. I go into the north portion of the park all year long. Enjoy it no matter the temps.
14:21 vw only a true blizzard or road closure stops me.
14:22 vw and unlike cb, bill, bruce and rich, a little more used to the cold weather!
14:22 CC and the roads
14:22 vw yeap.
14:22 CC are you staying overnight
14:22 CC camping?
14:22 vw I am actually quite concerned that their cold weather gear isn't REALLY cold weather gear.
14:23 vw Have a room at the inn Saturday night.
14:23 CC great
14:23 vw Not planning to camp this time. the single digit night time temps are a little daunting even for me. :)
14:23 CC I know you all will have a terrific time
14:24 vw had thought about camping Sunday night at Madison, but that was when the forecast was for nite temps in the 20s
14:24 CC it is SOOOOO nice to be with friends and enjoy the park together
14:24 vw i am certainly looking forward to meeting everybody. how strange!
14:24 vw it is weird to have so many park friends I have never met!
14:25 vw i was really hoping that splish splach a while ago was going to turn into something!
14:27 CC thought Plume might have gone but the steam from OF hides it so it is now back to BH
14:27 vw ahh, but now they have some sun!
14:28 CC did I read somewhere that yesterday BH went without indicator
14:31 vw I don't know that it went without. It was fairly steamy still, so we may have just missed it.
14:33 CC crowd is back at BH
14:35 sparekitty--not ignoring you, working like a crazy woman! did the streaming cam freeze or is it my monitor acting up again?
14:36 vw will check on mine sk. brb
14:36 CC I don;t think it is frozen
14:36 sparekitty--not ignoring you, working like a crazy woman! thx
14:36 sparekitty--not ignoring you, working like a crazy woman! it's likely just me! my monitor freaks out sometimes and i need to entirely restart for the cam to work..weird.
14:36 vw mine is fine.
14:37 sparekitty--not ignoring you, working like a crazy woman! ok guys; i'll have to see you tomorrow. grant hell does not permit restarts! later!
14:37 vw I have been having problems with mine lately. lots of clicking on teh arrow or having to refresh.
14:37 vw bye!
14:38 CC bye

October 9th, 2009 

05:19 mab Roads closed this morning, Mammoth and points south. I was headed down there, rats.
05:53 Ryan OF0650
06:04 vw Good morning MA and Ryan.
06:06 vw ahh. those are people! thought maybe we had a bison out there.
06:09 vw static is not refreshing
06:10 vw I am hoping they are standing there because BH has not erupted rather than because they like being exposed to the cold
06:24 vw 23 F at OF and calm. without wind chill, probably feels warmer now than it did yesterday while people were waiting for BH
06:25 lcd good morning all.
06:25 vw good morning lcd!
06:36 vw Getting refreshes now on static
06:38 mab hey
06:38 mab roads south of MHS are still closed, no time was listed on the updates though
06:39 Allan Good morning all
06:39 Allan I think I recognize BBs stance at BH
06:40 vw hi Allan!
06:41 Allan I'm sure that's Bill on the right near BH. How's things this am, vw?
06:42 Allan cb and B keep changing position.
06:43 vw packing as i watch!
06:43 vw taking all the sleeveless summer stuff out of my pack and replacing with layers.
06:43 vw lotsa layers!
06:45 Allan Heading out to YNP?
06:46 vw hoping to A
06:48 Allan It's nice to live so close!
06:48 vw there certainly are benefits. just far enough to that when the weather turns i can change my mind
06:56 mab likewise. and I am even closer than you!
06:57 mab Obviously if I am still here I haven't gone, but haven't completely backed out ... yet.
06:57 vw yet being the operative word!
06:57 vw trying to remember what i did with my COLD weather coat and vest.... used to be in trunk of car....now....????
06:59 Allan Weather channel says High of 20 and 80% chance of snow 3-5 inches today.
07:00 mab the ice/black ice statement is still up on the update vw
07:00 mab Fishing Bridge to Thumb is open, but I can't get to Norris or Canyon from here at this point.
07:01 Allan Ranger Station reports temp of 26. Thanks for that link, vw
07:03 Allan That's Ranger Station at OF
07:04 vw thanks ma, and np A!
07:04 vw carhartts found. whew!
07:04 vw now i gotta get ready for work!
07:05 lcd Beehive interval at 16 hrs.
07:05 vw warmer at OF than here. 18F
07:05 Allan Don't you get Fridays off? :)
07:06 Allan It's all that heat from the thermal features :)
07:12 vw i wish i could take days off A!
07:14 Derek 08:14 Ild Faithful
07:14 Derek Old
07:14 Allan vw, you need to talk to your boss!
07:17 mab bad visibility here north of YNP. I still might decide to GO. I keep getting disconnected too.
07:18 vw whos waving? was away
07:19 Derek I don't know them
07:19 Allan I don't know them, either.
07:22 vw next stop office. mab - stay in touch! you know you have a room if you are IN and can't get OUT!!!
07:23 vw see ya all in a bit.
07:24 mab thts my problem - I don't want to do 191 both ways. OF looks much nicer than here!
07:25 mab when Mammoth to Canyon opens I still might do it, its a real experience to watch visitors in rental cars, or people with trailers stuck.
07:30 Derek Hi All
07:30 Derek I'm officially on the cam now :-)
07:31 Allan Weren't you running it earlier when it was on BH?
07:32 Derek Nope
07:32 Allan Who was?
07:32 Derek I did move it briefly to see who the wavers were
07:32 Derek Must have been CC
07:39 ashtonwyatt hi
08:00 mab 8am update, MHS to Canyon is still closed
08:00 mab no further updates until conditions change.
08:01 vw thanks mabs
08:01 mab I should have left as planned at 0630 before it was light enough to see!
08:01 vw hindsight is a frustrating thing.
08:02 mab but I can get my bike when it all melts, I didnt really want a white knuckle experience, too tiring
08:02 lcd looks like snow is moving in
08:02 vw I could grab it for you?
08:03 mab nah I want to say bye to LS, Monday actually looks pretty nice! Kent might grab it if we make a plan for tomorrow
08:04 mab yes LC - K says the weather is moving in to the UGB now
08:04 vw k. you know how to reach me if you change your mind! Plan is to leave later on Sunday.
08:05 lcd If Beehive don't go pretty soon we may not see it.
08:05 lcd 17 hrs now.
08:05 Allan Webcam shows steady snow. Visibility down basin is poor.
08:06 vw lcd - snow is supposed to be tapering off as the day progresses. our area radars are offline but the regionals are showing clearing skies.
08:09 vw we will be left with JUST the cold Canadian front.
08:09 vw text from cb. not sitting at BH
08:09 lcd How cold?
08:09 vw lows at OF supposed to be +/- zero
08:09 Allan That's good. You're going in by Gardner? mab said MHS to Canyon still closed. Is MHS to Madison still closed for construction ?
08:09 vw that is tonight.
08:10 Allan That's good was to the clearing later today.
08:10 vw yes, internal road still closed for construction. route will depend on road. if Grand Loop open will probably go that way. if iffy, will go Boz, 191, west.
08:11 Allan I wondered if Boz, 191 was an option for you.
08:11 vw it is Allan, but actually the worst road in teh state right now is Boz pass.
08:11 Allan Long drive either way.
08:12 vw yeap. with conditions, probably 6 hours +
08:12 Allan I don't know Boz pass. I've probably been throught, just didn't know it.
08:12 vw 4 operas loaded on my ipod though, so cruising tunes are ready to go.
08:12 Allan through it
08:12 sparekitty--not ignoring you, working like a crazy woman! i've been through bozeman pass many times. it's a lovely drive...without the snow!
08:13 Allan Where is it located?
08:13 vw Bozeman pass is actually a fairly short section, but NASTY when it decides to be. very narrow gorge where the weather settles in. ma drives it all the time and I defer to her on how bad it can get!
08:14 vw between Livingston and Bozeman.
08:14 vw a 16 mile stretch of road that seems endless when bad
08:15 mab for me it's the same time to to the UGB via Bozeman or Thumb with the construction closure. Longer today though. I wouldnt get there til noon if I left now, so I think I am not a winter gazer today
08:18 mab truly its the visitors that screw things up, cars in meadows, ditches, etc. 2 years ago norris to canyon was closed because of the 5th wheel sideways in the road. the rest of us knew how to drive in that stuff!
08:18 sparekitty--not ignoring you, working like a crazy woman! sorry, phone call, and yep, exactly what vw said. my dad lived in livingston for 20 years and i'd visit him each year, driving to and from livingston and bozeman aiport, museums, etc.
08:19 mab but for almost 20 years, this is just the 2nd time I canceled in Oct. Still I will try for tomorrow, frigid temps but the roads would be better
08:19 Allan There's no sense in having "gotta get there-itis"
08:19 vw yeap
08:20 Allan Funny thing, but the geysers ain't gonna go away.
08:21 mab I always go opening and closing weekends, but might not this year with the construction closing. Probably will though, things will clear up.
08:22 mab Some years its a quick visit! Hi Bye Geysers! I go just on principle!
08:22 Allan When is closing weekend?
08:22 mab Halloween
08:22 mab Sunday actually 1st. 8am 2nd is the official closing
08:23 mab Opening is fun to see who else is there. Grizzlies eating carcasses too.
08:24 Allan Long as they don't try to eat you, it's fun. :)
08:24 sparekitty--not ignoring you, working like a crazy woman! so what's the deal with visiting when the park is "closed?"
08:24 sparekitty--not ignoring you, working like a crazy woman! can you still go? or are the roads closed or what?
08:24 mab Yeah, I have photos of TSB trapped at Castle when a griz was chasing bison all over the hill and then headed that way. He was stuck.
08:25 mab Winter is snowcoaches or snowmobiles for the interior sparekitty
08:25 mab I just play up north and ski, snowshoe and watch wolves, no geysers til April.
08:26 sparekitty--not ignoring you, working like a crazy woman! thx for the info.
08:27 mab I have only been to OF once in winter, my honeymoon in 78! Its been a while. Last year did Canyon Lake Norris on a snowmo though.
08:28 mab the ice cone at the Lower Falls is impressive, winter or even on opening weekend
08:29 vw BH sitters just called for a temp reading!
08:30 mab tell them it is warmer from where we are viewing
08:30 Allan Who's sitting on BH?
08:30 vw didn't ask. sorry. Kent called. know cb and bill not out there.
08:32 Ryan Hello all sry was at doctors
08:33 Allan Hi Ryan, hope everything's ok.
08:33 Ryan Its fine small virus
08:33 Ryan Hope Giantess will go for my Birthday today!
08:34 Allan Happy birthday, but I suspect your chances of Giantess are small.
08:35 Allan Well, I have to go paint. Catch you all later.
08:35 Derek My birthdays next Monday :-)
08:35 mab a MT high school homecoming was canceled, not due to the weather, nothing stops football around here, but because 29% of the students have swine flu. Don't catch that one Ryan.
08:35 Allan Well, happy birthday in advance, then :)
08:35 Ryan Dont plan to
08:35 Ryan See ya Allan
08:36 vw here comes the sun!
08:36 Ryan I see steam by F&M
08:38 Ryan lots of steam at F&M
08:38 Ryan Or its Riverside
08:39 mab I am on static, is there any BH splashing or could it have pulled a shortie last night?
08:40 Ryan brb
08:47 lcd MA, I did see some splashing a while ago.
08:48 lcd OF 0946
08:54 mab thanks, i will keep watching as long as I am not going anywhere
09:02 mab LC my hiking buddy put up some more photos of the thermals at Smokejumper HS on the UCP page
09:04 lcd Thanks MA, I'll check them out.
09:10 Ryan b
09:10 Ryan Yesterday me and my pap made a geyser
09:10 Ryan It was a fountain geyser
09:10 Ryan Went two-three feet every 8-9mins
09:10 Ryan Recycled roughly 95% of its water
09:11 Ryan Changing it so it recycles 100% water and goes every 20-25mins
09:24 lcd MA, I checked those pictures. Some of them remind me of Crater hill.
09:25 lcd Very interesting.
09:25 Ryan whats the link
09:31 mab  
http://www.yellowstoneupcloseandpersonal.com/wwwbo…
09:31 mab my report is waayyy down the page, called -a fascinating hike- in 3 parts.
09:32 lcd thanks MA, I was trying to figur out how to post address
09:32 Ryan cool
09:32 Ryan ty
09:32 mab Yeah it seemed definitely acid like Crater Hills and Norris like. I havent checked Allen and Day to read up on it yet. A winter project,
09:43 sparekitty--not ignoring you, working like a crazy woman! so is there a chance of BH? i'm not really paying attention today, trying not to drown in grant prep.
09:47 lcd looks like Depression 1046 ie.
09:50 Derek I'm having problems getting this page to load fully
09:51 Derek Took ages to get the chat room up, but the media player still hasn't loaded.
09:52 mab my connection cuts in and out, but thats my local problem
09:53 Derek I can get the live stream vis the nps site OK
09:53 Derek It's just this page thats slow
09:54 mab since I got up a million hours ago to not drive to OF I think I will log out. I actually could have made Beehive, who would have thunk that.
10:04 Derek 11:03 Plume
10:28 Jason Firefox ahhh winter. :D
10:29 Ryan OF 1129
10:31 Ryan Its raining it pouring
10:32 Ryan OF Rained on Lense at 1131
10:35 Jason Firefox I'm loving the snow. :D
10:39 Derek CC just wiped the glass. I'm going for tea now.
10:40 Ryan okok
11:00 Ryan October 9, 2009 recap – Depression 10:46ie; OF 06:50, 08:14, 09:46, 11:29, rained on lenses 11:31; Plume 11:03;
11:09 Ryan yawn - got to go b back later
11:09 Jason Snowfox *puts in Charlie Brown Christmas Blu-ray*
12:20 mab nothing in the log for 90 minutes, is it broken or did I not miss a thing?
12:25 vw didn't miss anything!
12:26 vw have not been at computer whole time, but nothing other than the sun making an appearance.
12:44 vw gotta go. back later.
12:45 lcd ok, finally gave up and did my 5 mile walk. nothing about Beehive, is it broke?
12:50 mab well could have been a 12 or 13 and been before light - its anybodys guess
12:55 lcd that is what I am beginning to think.
12:55 lcd BUT, I did see a few small splashes early this morning.
13:01 Anna Howdy. Got a few minutes to "visit" parkadise today.
13:01 Anna when's OF predicted?
13:04 lcd don't know, only been here a few minutes.
13:05 lcd I'm guessing by the people, it must be pretty soon.
13:07 Anna thar she goes!
13:07 lcd OF 1406
13:07 Anna OF 15:12 streaming cam
13:08 Anna 14??
13:08 lcd I did the same thing yesterday, I'm on central time.
13:09 Anna are you watching static or streaming? streaming as the time at the top--the only way I can keep 'em straight
13:10 lcd I am watching streaming and static.
13:10 Derek It will get even more confusing for me toward the end of this month. Our clock go back one week before yours do.
13:10 lcd that will be fun.
13:11 lcd is that Grand or Oblong?
13:11 Derek Grand
13:12 Anna cool. one of my husband's favorites.
13:13 lcd I thought it was but I was watching the static cam when I first saw it.
13:14 lcd was that 1411 ns?
13:14 Derek I took control of the cam because I think cc has gone out
13:15 Anna Derek, were you in the park this summer?
13:16 Derek I have never been there and I live too far away to get there
13:17 Anna bummer that. I had a good summer. Husband was geyser volunteer for a few hours each week. He got to spend more time in the basin than I did--by a long shot.
13:17 Derek You do know that I don't live in America?
13:18 Anna Yep, but you know so much about the area, I figured you had been there often!
13:19 Derek I have my American friends to thank for my knowledge
13:19 Anna cool
13:19 Derek Bruce Jensen got me started.
13:20 Derek After that it was Graham and CC
13:20 Derek My brother actually lives in CT, USA, not far from Carolyn
13:21 Anna If I'm not careful, my husband will get hooked on this like I am, then nothing around here will get done.
13:21 Derek My wife has no real interest
13:21 Anna I missed CC when she was here this summer--at least i think that's the story.
13:22 Anna My husband loves the park. He worked there in '64 as a gear jammer.
13:22 Graham hello
13:22 Derek I have an internet friend in Australia called Anna
13:22 Derek Hi Graham
13:23 Derek She even visited this room a couple of times but I think she used a different name
13:24 Anna Hi Graham.
13:24 Graham hi Derek, Anna. have I missed anything?
13:24 Anna I'm back in Ohio. Cold and rainy and yucky here since we got home.
13:26 lcd pretty nice splash out of BH.
13:27 Graham so not seen, been splashing all day?
13:28 sparekitty--not ignoring you, working like a crazy woman! not much splashing, a couple here and there
13:28 Graham ok. I saw people waiting earlier, guess they got too cold
13:28 Derek Our team were there earlier
13:29 Graham but it didn't erupt for them..thats not right
13:30 Anna how dare it!
13:30 lcd maybe they went to Grand.
13:31 sparekitty--not ignoring you, working like a crazy woman! geysers/teenagers...same thing, behavior-wise
13:31 Anna lol!
13:31 Graham haha
13:32 lcd Anna, what area of the park did your husband work this summer?
13:33 Anna Madison Junction. I'm a ranger, he volunteers
13:34 lcd I was in the park 12 days in early July.
13:34 lcd most of the time in the UGB.
13:40 lcd is that dogs near Depression?
13:42 Graham sorry stepped away for a minute there
13:42 Graham missed it
13:44 Anna me too
13:46 Anna did any one see George's live cams this summer?
13:47 lcd I did, it was great.
13:47 lcd caught 3 Oblongs in two days.
13:47 Anna are they archived any where?
13:47 Graham yeah they were good although there was a nasty buzzing on the last two days on top of OF Inn
13:57 Derek Goodnight All
13:58 Graham bye derek
13:59 lcd later D.
13:59 Anna 'night Derek
14:04 Graham looks like Plume 1503
14:10 lcd bbl
14:10 Graham k
14:13 Graham Beehive 1511. either no imdicator or very short indicator
14:13 mab well lookee there
14:13 Graham yeah there may have been indicator on one static frame that I noticed and then there it is
14:13 mab Sorry LC missed it.
14:14 Jason Snowfox i love all the steam
14:14 Graham yeah pretty well blown by the wind
14:14 mab can you see if people are there?
14:15 Graham there was nobody waiting that I could see
14:17 lcd well, I did get part of it.
14:17 Graham good, it went right after you left
14:17 lcd was 1511 the start?
14:17 Graham yep
14:18 lcd thanks
14:18 lcd Nellie wanted the computer.
14:18 Graham cam was just moving back from Sawmill because it looked like Ind might have been going on one static frame
14:18 Graham then BH was going
14:18 lcd I just walked outside and she call me
14:19 Graham so was it one long interval or two short?
14:19 sparekitty--not ignoring you, working like a crazy woman! all stinkin' day, i watch and watch and MISS it again!!! bummer
14:19 lcd I was going to ask that
14:19 Graham shouldn't be working so hard!
14:20 sparekitty--not ignoring you, working like a crazy woman! you're right!
14:20 Graham was it splashing early? I presumed so given the people watching it
14:21 lcd I thought I saw small splashing not long after first light.
14:22 lcd if not for that I would think two short intervals.
14:22 Graham so maybe a long interval
14:22 lcd that is my guess.
14:22 sparekitty--not ignoring you, working like a crazy woman! there was some splashing of BH around 9:30 a MT.
14:24 Graham oh well. Grands done, BH done, what's next?
14:26 Graham wow got a shock when I glanced at the parking lot cam...then read the message :)
14:27 lcd no Daisy all day?
14:27 Graham no reports here anyway, I hope it has erupted several times :)
14:28 lcd I thought I saw it at 8 something this morning but with the steam and the snow I couldn't be sure.
14:29 lcd well, we are under a tornado watch for the next hour or so.
14:30 lcd I better get off here.
14:34 Graham Gary has the cam now
14:36 Graham OF 1535

15:31 Graham bye
15:48 Loisb Good Afternoon
15:48 Graham hi Lois. did you enjoy Beehive?
15:48 Loisb I caught it on video - was napping
15:48 Loisb had given up on it
15:49 Loisb not much warning from what I could tell
15:49 vw ooohhhh..looks sunny and warm!
15:49 Loisb Hi VW
15:49 vw Hi all!
15:49 Graham hello vw
15:49 Loisb sunny yes - warm maybe
15:49 Graham yeah I only saw the indicator on one static frame
15:50 Loisb me too
15:50 vw a friend texted me that BH erupted. thanks ma.
15:50 Graham snows melting
15:50 Loisb it did indeed
15:50 Graham although take a look at the parking lot cam and you will get a shock
15:50 Loisb nice that they put words on it now
15:50 Graham until you read the text
15:50 Loisb g
15:51 Graham hehe yeah I did a double take
15:51 vw saw that yesterday G, assuming someone's office? will go there ow.
15:51 Loisb I was liking the view of the office
15:51 vw me too LoisB!
15:51 Graham the office?
15:51 vw I wanted to watch the day in the life of an NPS employee...
15:51 Loisb Rich called about noon mdt - I wasn't home
15:51 Loisb right
15:51 vw you didn't see that yesterday G?
15:51 Graham nope
15:52 vw the camera was on in someone's cubicle!
15:52 vw it was hysterical!
15:52 vw I never saw a body though.
15:52 Graham was out after work with friends and Wednesday at Falstaff
15:52 Loisb I saved a capture - will upload it for you
15:52 Graham haha
15:52 Loisb no body
15:53 vw I am still trying to figure out the things hanging from one of the desk drawers LoisB. If you figure it out clue me in!
15:53 Loisb are you sure you want to know?
15:53 vw yes!!!
15:54 vw it is virtually impossible to shock or embarrass me!
15:54 vw going to check the weather and road reports. here but...
15:54 Loisb sorry - all the drawers are closed in my capture - he must have know you were looking
15:55 vw no, there were some silver things hanging from a drawer or something on the right hand side. can not figure out what they are!
15:55 Loisb ah
15:55 Loisb do have those
15:55 Loisb will enlarge and see what I can see
15:55 Loisb 3 empty water bottles
15:56 vw those silver things? weird!
15:57 Loisb no - on the desk top
15:57 Loisb not sure about the silver things
15:59 Loisb the desk top end of them appears to be hook shaped
15:59 vw yeap. those are the things.
15:59 Loisb enlarged to 250% and still can't tell what they are
16:00 Loisb its up on FB now Graham - maybe you know what they are
16:01 mab Kent says no indicator was called, that doesn't mean there wasnt one though.
16:01 vw was anybody still out there?
16:01 Loisb well my capture program sure only shows it one frame
16:01 living_proof21 hi any girls here?
16:01 vw when I left my office for client appointments there weren't any bodies waiting
16:02 Loisb don't see any one
16:02 Graham I can't tell what it is lois
16:03 Loisb a mystery item
16:03 Loisb shall we all email in and ask?
16:03 Graham yeah ma, there was a lot of steam one frame earlier on static but with the wind blowing this way I could not tell if it was the indicator or not. I was moving the cam to BH when it started
16:04 mab If yesterdays was 3 minutes this is a new trend.
16:04 Loisb not nice - tell it we need warning
16:04 vw mab - are you hearing anything more on road closures within the park?
16:05 Graham its not my office Lois :)
16:05 vw :D
16:05 Loisb you mean you don't have silver things hanging?
16:05 Graham so you don't mind that it may have been a 23 hour interval?
16:06 mab I havent checked once I decided not to try to go. Ill start the process again in the morning - or you can phone with the real deal if you take off
16:06 Graham nope. My office is almost empty, I travel light, usually change offices once or twice a year
16:06 vw if I take off it will be around midnight for early morning arrival.
16:06 Loisb best way to clean
16:06 vw too late to get through and around and then get a good nights sleep
16:06 Loisb what time did we see it last nite?
16:07 Graham it was 1611 I think
16:07 Loisb snow almost gone from this view VW
16:07 Graham nope, 1604 yesterday
16:07 mab Kent rode my bike to Victory, so the asphalt cant be too bad
16:07 Loisb so it could have gone off while it was still early dark
16:08 vw glad to hear K got down there. I really want to see Victory too.
16:08 Graham so have they been closing roads again?
16:08 vw weather related this morning G
16:09 Graham ah, yeah I saw it was snowy again
16:09 vw snow this morning, but looks like less of a problem now. Cold will be the problem over the next 48 to 72 hours
16:10 Loisb they all have their love of geysers to keep them warm
16:11 Loisb the road at mammoth looks bare on the cam though snow on the ground
16:13 Graham looks like I will be 70 degrees warmer than you vw on SUnday :)
16:13 mab yea Graham I was headed down today but most of the roads were closed. by the time I could have gone, it wouldnt have been that long to stay so I stayed put. I suppose I could have gone to wait at the closure gates...
16:14 Loisb sky sure is clear now
16:15 Graham waiting at a gate is not much fun in a cold car
16:15 vw so all packed for your quick trip G?
16:15 Graham nope, not packed at all. just an overnight
16:15 mab i dont mind but all the people trying to get somewhere would have been waiting too, in their rental cars and towing trailers.
16:16 Loisb and not having a clue about how to drive in snow
16:16 Graham yeah well I hope it stays open this weekend
16:17 Graham I will juist throw t-shirts and shorts and underwear in my day-pack and travel light to FL
16:17 vw i am just trying to figure out if i go should i go the way i KNOW but risk closures or the route that I know is open, but have no real memory of the road...
16:17 vw decisions decisions
16:17 vw i will be wearing more than that to the shower at the Inn!
16:18 Loisb g
16:18 Graham yeah but I will have hi of 90, low of 80
16:18 Graham and thats outside...could be chilly in the AC tho
16:18 mab i am betting Craig will stay open, but dont go on my recommendation, you could become very familiar with West Thumb if not...
16:18 vw I will have a high of 17 and a low of maybe 0
16:19 Graham oohhhh I want to know if Ledge Spring is erupting?
16:19 vw last chance ma... not really, but...
16:19 mab there ya go, things to do while the pass is being plowed!
16:19 vw good point!
16:19 Graham it was overflowing this Sept first time I have seen that in years
16:19 vw if there was some clue before i turned south at Livingston!
16:20 mab i just hope to see Lone Pine empty once in 2009!
16:20 mab No luck there for me this year.
16:20 Graham OF 1720
16:21 Graham haha......don't you want to see it emptying the water out of the cone?
16:21 mab More than I could hope for! All I saw this year was -gently overflowing- full full and full
16:23 mab I printed out Ralphs data and ran into Steve E there, we sat on the log bumper and deduced that it loves darkness this year
16:24 Loisb bird
16:25 Graham I am looking forward to the F&M pictures this weekend :)
16:26 vw IF the shutters arent frozen!
16:26 mab Church gig Sunday, i wonder if I should head south from Bozeman since I am already sorta close. F&M would be when I am about at Till
16:27 vw I could sent text updates?
16:27 Graham hard to see from Till
16:27 vw will be darn cold sunday morning! thinking a wee bit too cold to be sitting out for!
16:27 mab Giant looks really good from Whiskey Flats too. :(
16:27 Graham Lion 1726ie
16:27 vw I gotta go. maybe be back later.
16:27 Graham bye
16:28 Graham never seen Giant from there but would be good for it to erupt again
16:29 Loisb bye VW
16:36 Graham going to leave now, have a good evening. see you tomorrow
16:36 Allan Bye Graham
16:36 Loisb bye
16:42 mab Graham is gone, but what I was saying was sometimes I get radio transmissions for just a sec at Till, and its always something important that I am just a little late for!
16:43 Loisb a long way fro,m Til to anywhere else?
16:44 mab I guess it's about 5 miles from the UGB. So you can hear blips of radio chatter and know what you are missing, but still have some driving to do Lois.
16:45 Loisb and in the summer any driving takes awhile
16:46 mab I was up a hillside in that area once and hear an Indicator call, it always seems funny and out of place. Heard one down at Madison on top of Purple Mountain one time too, that one was very funny!
16:47 Loisb radio waves do bounce funny against hills
16:49 mab look how clear it is, its going to get coooold. i just walked my dogs, its 20 here but the sun is just going down and it will start dropping
16:50 Loisb I just got the house up to 70 and am sure we are going to get cold tonite also - but not that cold
16:52 Loisb high tomorrow here is to be 57 - we'll see
16:57 mab I keep my stat set at 55, the house is usually colder than that though. its old and drafty.
16:58 Loisb well the 70 is only in this room - heat off in the rest of the house - g
17:02 Loisb my house turned 102 this year and I just shut off all the rooms not in use now that all the kids are gone
17:05 mab I can relate, I have to shut one room in winter, except its where the computer is. So I come in and wear a hat and gloves and leave fast!
17:05 mab You wont see me here chatting when it is -30
17:06 Loisb there were days last winter when we had our horrid snow that I wore my hat and coat to check my email
17:07 Loisb wish I could get decent wireless on my side of the hill - would work from bed under my quilts
17:11 Loisb brb- got to feed the cat
17:18 Loisb fed but still yelling - loud thing in her old age
17:20 mab can relate there too, mine is almost 19. Still tickin
17:22 Loisb mine is only 18 and developed diabetes this summer but I love her anyhow
17:31 Loisb those people look cold sitting on the bench
17:35 badboyric hi
17:48 Loisb was that OF at 1843?
17:49 Loisb Hi we are watching Old Faithful at
http://mms.nps.gov/yell/webcams/old_faithful_cam.h…
17:54 badboyric cool
17:54 badboyric ne good?€
18:22 Loisb Nite all

October 10th, 2009 View 

06:19 Graham Plume 0718
06:19 Graham morning Derek
06:20 Derek Hi Graham
06:20 Derek Are you on the cam?
06:21 Graham yes, CC asked me to take it till you are ready. shes teaching a sewing class today
06:22 Derek I'm here until Beryl calls me to help wash the dishes.
06:22 Graham ok. its a cold morning, low was -4F
06:23 Graham some people on the boardwalk up by Pump
06:25 Graham wb CC. still no OF but I did see Plume at 718MDT
06:33 Derek I hope I can catch the group on cam today.
06:35 Graham when are they performing?
06:35 Derek No idea. Bruce apparently cant ring my mobile, so he cant alert me. I just have to keep my eyes open
06:36 Derek He dials my number but Verizon won connect him.
06:36 Derek wont
06:36 Graham ah, ok. I suspect they may be late given how cold it is
06:37 Derek What network is your mobile?
06:37 Graham Sprint
06:38 Derek Maybe you could try ringing my mobile, just to see if it works for you. It shouldn't cost you anything if I don't answer.
06:40 Graham actually I think the cell phone bills whether you answer or not and its my company phone, I don't have a presonal cell
06:41 Derek Over here it only charges if the number answers.
06:42 Graham I emailed my number to Bruce and Carol has it too
06:43 Derek I have it already, assuming thats the one I called you on when you were in the park.
06:43 Derek You have some strange networks over there
06:44 Derek For example, you get charged to receive text messages, where as we don't
06:49 Graham sorry, had my mom on the phone
06:49 Graham yeah its the same phone number
06:49 Graham some plans cover text messages and others don't
06:50 Derek For all networks and sevices here, you only pay to send.
06:52 Graham that makes sense since that's what you control
06:53 Derek All my mobiles are what we call Pay as you go. No monthy sevice charge. I just buy 5.00 credit when I need it
06:53 Graham OF 0753, very pretty
06:54 Graham mine is on a corporate plan. I never see the bill but don't use it much
06:54 Derek On my Vodafone network I can call USA for just 5 pence per minute where as its 20 ppm to call UK phones. Weard eh?
06:55 Graham haha yeah that makes no sense
06:56 Graham early morning OF in winter is so pretty
06:56 Derek But using Skype on my PC I can call USA for 2 ppm
06:56 Graham thats very good
06:59 Derek Dish washing time
07:00 Graham see ya
07:14 Derek Back again. Just one more chore to do. As soon as Beryl gets up here I will help put new linen on the bed
07:14 Graham ok.
07:15 Graham pretty morning in the basin but it looks like the fog is building
07:16 Derek I already have recorded some 20 minutes of our famous four on Thursday when they were at Beehive. Now I just want a group pic at Old Faithful to complete the DVD I'm making for them.
07:17 Graham oh that's cool. vw should be there too
07:17 Derek Today?
07:18 Derek She's the shy one who hides her face from cameras :-)
07:19 Graham she said she would be going in really really early today. looks like there wasn't enough snow to close the roads
07:19 Graham that was weird, I zoomed in on the cam and it zoomed out a little!
07:19 Derek Sometimes it has a mind of its own
07:20 Graham Plume 0819
07:32 Derek Did you ever see the Back to the Future movies?
07:34 Graham yeah i saw them
07:35 Derek I found where the car crash was filmed at the end of the 3rd movie
07:36 Derek Port Hueneme, CA
07:37 Derek The scene with the old loco pushing the car was on the Historic Sierra Railroad in Jamestown CA
07:38 Graham oh, cool piece of investigating
07:38 Derek I love doing that
07:39 Graham going out for a bit, bbl
07:39 Derek ok

09:34 Graham ok. maybe they are at F&M
09:35 Derek I'll try VW
09:36 Derek VW's phone does ring, but no answer
09:37 Graham she should be there but maybe driving around or down at Fountain/Great Fountain
09:37 Graham no signal down that far away
09:40 Derek Looks like I wont get a group picture
09:42 Graham here comes the crowd
09:43 Graham well if they come up to OF they will call you or me
09:43 Derek ok
09:43 Graham heres the OF crowd, they all came out of the VC where it was nice and warm
09:44 Graham Daisy?
09:44 Derek Too much steam
09:45 Graham there was some dense steam down there when you zoomed out but I don't see it now
09:45 Graham yeah lots of steam but the fog looks like its clearing
09:58 lcd OF 1052
10:07 Graham coffee cup?
10:08 lcd coffee or ice cream?
10:08 Derek Whatever it was, he was enjoying it
10:09 lcd way too cold for ice cream...
10:09 Graham yeah, but it did look a bit like an ice cream cup...but must have been sugar or hot chocolate in it don't you think?
10:10 Derek Ravens are like Herring Gulls. They'll eat anything
10:10 lcd yea, i think so.
10:11 Graham yeah shame to see people discarding trash like that too
10:11 lcd I agree
10:15 d244802 hi

10:17 Derek They seem to have a 1 track mind.
10:18 Derek They search for cam in Meebo
10:18 lcd I guess there are a lot looking.
10:19 Derek This should all stop when Paul Thompson changes from Meebo to PHP
10:25 lcd anything out of Beehive today?
10:26 Derek Not that I've seen

16:32 Loisb Good Eveningh
16:32 Loisb evening
16:32 Graham hi Lois
16:32 Loisb good thing spelling doesn't count
16:33 Graham yeah we can usually figure out what people mean, spelling it rite is over-rated
16:33 Graham how is Rich?
16:33 Loisb but one must try and keep the brain cells going
16:34 Loisb haven't talked to him since the first day - though he did call yesterday at noon mdt - I was at the dil's
16:34 Graham I prefer the brain game of figuring out what people mean
16:34 Loisb g
16:34 Loisb either he's having a great time or frozen
16:34 Loisb or both
16:34 Graham haha or both
16:34 Graham yeah
16:34 Graham i didn't know he was going, last minute decision?
16:34 Loisb very last minute
16:35 Loisb I nagged and Bruce was so nice
16:35 Graham Bruce said "i'm gonna stop at your house so you better be ready"?
16:35 Loisb said he would be there to pick him up
16:36 Graham thats nice of Bruce to do that
16:36 Loisb they had talked but Bruce wasn't sure if he could get off Tuesday
16:36 Loisb very nice
16:36 Graham shame he couldn't swing by Seattle :)
16:36 Loisb he merely pointed out that it would add two days driving time - g
16:37 Graham yeah I know. its a shame its so cold there this weekend tho
16:37 Loisb Richards place isn't far out of the way though he did offer to meet him out on 80
16:37 Graham how long do they have in the park?
16:37 Loisb Richard has a pruce ski outfit
16:38 Graham ah. I saw someone in a yellow and red outfit lingering by BH earlier
16:38 Loisb think they are leaving sometime early tomorrow unless bruce changed his mind
16:38 Graham got to watch out for the prune out there tho
16:38 Loisb right
16:38 Graham nobody at BH now, maybe they are at F&M or warming up somewhere
16:38 Loisb I made him go buy new thermals and socks
16:39 Loisb well - if you call long distance nagging making someone do something
16:39 Graham good move, yeah its about as cold as it was in Jan last year for me there
16:39 Loisb he had thermals but they were years old
16:39 Graham I am sure he will be pleased that you nagged him on that one
16:40 Loisb probably wishes he had both sets on
16:40 Graham haha yeah
16:40 Graham are they staying in West or the Inn?
16:41 Graham not camping I hope
16:41 Loisb they were at the inn - last min cancel - not sure where they are now but no camping
16:41 Graham I am sure some people cancelled with the cold weather
16:42 Loisb is it true I wasted my capture all afternoon and there hasn't been a beehive yet?
16:42 Graham OF 1742
16:42 Graham no Beehive. lots of splashing for hours
16:42 Loisb ugh
16:42 Loisb won't bother going though it just now then
16:43 Graham Lion keeps huffing but we have had 4 already
16:45 Graham so we will be waiting on pictures when hes back now
16:45 Loisb for sure
16:46 Graham was a beautiful OF after sunrise this morning. did you see it?
16:46 Loisb yes - got one capture
16:47 Graham love those early cold eruptions with sun lighting the whole water and steam column
16:48 Loisb if I can see
16:56 Graham Oblong 1755ie
16:56 Loisb thx
16:57 Graham cant be Grand because it was at 1600
16:57 Loisb k
17:03 Graham brb...watch BH for me the ind will probably erupt while I step away for a few mins
17:03 Loisb g
17:03 Loisb k
17:03 richard lol
17:10 Loisb what ?
17:11 richard Graham, let us know when ur back
17:13 Graham im back
17:14 Loisb its making funny steam that direction
17:14 Graham took a quick shower because I won't get one in the morning with my 0615 flight!
17:14 richard you didn't miss it!
17:14 Loisb no but i can't tell whats happening over ther with everything steaming
17:15 Graham yeah the BH splashes are going right over the indicator spot so I have been excited about it several times...and then not so excited
17:15 Loisb makes me want to zoom the static cam - g
17:16 Loisb so I do a capture and blow it up - and then say ah shucks
17:17 Graham yeah
17:18 Graham should be a Plume sometinme unless I missed it
17:18 Loisb Ididn't see it - which means nothing
17:18 Graham thanks Lois :)
17:18 richard i haven't seen it
17:18 Graham with it being this cold and nice wind direction, it should show up in some frames
17:19 Loisb k
17:21 Graham snow has almost gone now, it hung around all week
17:22 Loisb wouldn't have thought it got warm enough today to go away
17:22 Graham sunny and windy helps evaporate it too
17:23 Loisb must not have humidity like we do
17:24 Graham nope. tends to be very dry air
17:24 richard what part of the country are u in Loisb?
17:24 Loisb well at least the roads should be good
17:24 Loisb Seattle
17:24 richard I'm in Florida
17:25 Graham yeah they should be dry. vw was worried about her drive this morning
17:25 Loisb probably warmer there
17:25 Graham Virginia here
17:25 richard yeah, 85
17:25 Loisb I got the house up to 67 finally
17:25 richard a friend just told me about this site the other night
17:25 Graham Plume 1825
17:26 Loisb but I really can't complain - we usually have nice winters
17:26 Loisb well - welcome- lots of nice people here
17:26 richard i have seen that... and thank you!
17:26 Graham that showed up well on static cam
17:26 richard really nice
17:26 Loisb yes it did - even with the white sky
17:27 richard i saw BH last evening...what a site
17:27 Loisb very nice last nite -
17:28 richard i wish I could have captured it
17:28 Loisb I got the static captures
17:29 richard very good!
17:29 Loisb are you on steaming or static?
17:29 richard both
17:29 Loisb lucky you
17:29 Loisb will upload them to picassa and post the url
17:29 richard i've tried each out and it's the best for me
17:29 Graham 1 hour left for BH
17:29 Loisb we hope
17:30 richard excellent
17:30 Loisb I am on the static except when I am at my sons and they are all napping
17:30 richard lol
17:30 Graham left - as in if its longer than an hour we won't see it :(
17:30 richard oh, right
17:30 Loisb I told rich to take a big flashlight
17:31 Graham yeah did he buy one like I have?
17:31 Loisb I have no idea - he didn't have time to shop around
17:31 Loisb I kept adding to his list
17:31 Loisb your's showed up nicely that one morning though
17:32 Graham yeah and I don't think that was my really bright light
17:32 Loisb well next time lets have the bright one - gh
17:33 Graham ok :) the only problem is its so bright its blinding..so unless you really need it the other one is better
17:33 Graham need it at F&M because the vents are so far away
17:33 Loisb ah
17:33 Loisb well i did see you with it so okay
17:33 Graham yeah I enjoyed the wait
17:34 Graham I love the pre-dawn quiet in the basin. not the same after sunset because there are more people about
17:35 Loisb as you may have guessed by now - I am one of the pre dawn people - I go down when the sun does - or close to it - g
17:37 Graham yeah. Rich seems to stay up later
17:39 Loisb yep - he has always been the one to turn off the lights
17:41 Loisb what time was Beehive yesterday - wasn't it around now?
17:41 Loisb I seem to recall we didn't get much warning
17:41 richard a little earlier as i recall
17:41 Graham it was 1511
17:42 Loisb having trouble finding the captures in the folder they belong in
17:42 Graham they all keep moving around?
17:42 richard lol
17:42 Loisb well - it was a rough week
17:42 Graham there might have been a 1min ind.. or none
17:43 Loisb think I have it at 130 mdt
17:43 Graham ok, well the weekend is better right?
17:43 Loisb now that my duties for today are over it will be okay - next weekend will be better - no duties at all
17:44 Graham alright, I like that
17:44 Graham I wish I could take the day off tomorrow too
17:44 Loisb a friend and I are planning to go brunch and photo walking next Sat
17:45 Graham ok, that sounds nice
17:45 Loisb just going tomorrow or is that when your meeting is also?
17:45 Graham I need to go on a photo-walk..hum next SUnday would be good
17:45 Loisb come on over
17:45 Graham down tomorrow morning, back Monday afternoon
17:45 Loisb so sorry
17:46 Graham so no gaysers for me until maybe 1700 Monday
17:46 Loisb I 'll save you any good ones I see
17:46 Loisb g
17:46 Graham yeah thanks, enjoy Giantess
17:46 Graham haha
17:46 Loisb don't we all wish
17:46 Graham BH seems to have cooled off
17:47 Loisb it should decide to go before the snow gets too deep just so we can see it against the trees
17:47 Graham snows not going to get that deep Lois, only a few inched tomorrow
17:48 Loisb watching last winter was fun - got to see quite a few bison
17:49 Graham nobody up there waiting for it
17:49 Loisb there wasn't anyone there yesterday when it went as i recall
17:49 Graham its been pretty empty in the basin this summer, and all the way out to West really. just one big herd and in the basin a small one
17:50 Graham Rich watches it closer on the webcam :)
17:50 Loisb ah yes but he has more than one moniter
17:51 Graham no bison were in the basin when I was there in January which was nice for me, no blocked trails
17:52 Loisb think I only saw one wander by now and then in Dec and Jan
17:52 Graham and the bears cooperated showing up on cam a few times and not closing the trails in May
17:53 Loisb I did get one wolf at OF and some elk at mammoth
17:53 Graham small splash out of BH then
17:53 Graham ok, thats good
17:54 Loisb know where yesterdays beehive is now- its on video - was napping when it went'
17:54 Graham at least theres no wind chill now
17:54 Loisb that helps
17:56 Loisb real or steam?
17:57 Loisb guess the next refresh answered my question
17:57 richard i know i hadn't been home from work very long
17:58 Loisb we are 3 hours different - know where to find it now - looked in yesterdqys log - g
17:58 Graham ? it was 1511MDT
17:58 Loisb right around then - am scanning the video
18:01 Loisb up to 1450 - think i shall slow it down - gh
18:02 Graham ok. nice BH splash there
18:02 Loisb very
18:03 richard i really enjoyed it
18:03 Graham yep that may be it richard
18:03 Graham OF window just started too

18:04 Graham who is your friend?
18:04 Graham big splash!
18:04 richard debbi
18:04 Loisb Rich and I and my youngest spent a week thre camping the year before the fire
18:05 Graham I have been there once or twice
18:05 Graham a year
18:05 Loisb right - g
18:05 Graham sometimes 3 times
18:05 Loisb and he takes great photos of the place too Richard
18:05 richard she showed me the pbs(s).gov site first, then this one thursday
18:05 richard pbs(?)
18:06 Loisb pbs.org?
18:06 richard yeah
18:06 Loisb watch all the park videos?
18:06 Graham probably nps?
18:06 richard no, just the yellowstone one so far
18:07 richard that might be it
18:07 Loisb there are a lot of clips on uTube also
18:07 richard it's NPS
18:07 Graham we are losing the light
18:07 Loisb shush
18:07 Graham yeah nps.gov
18:07 richard yeah, i watched it until it got dark last night
18:08 shaquan2 girls press 222
18:08 Loisb I downloaded all the podcasts from iTunes
18:08 Loisb very nice ones
18:09 richard iTunes has a ton of great video
18:09 Loisb there are a lot of the NPS videos on there
18:09 Graham at work on friday I had music in my head and was wondering what it was - it was the Bruckner in Dave/tara's video of Fan and Mortar
18:10 Loisb been watching and dreaming too much Graham
18:10 Graham yeah but it helps me get through the day at work :)
18:10 richard always
18:10 Loisb there is that
18:11 Graham I have Giant January 2008 as my wallpaper
18:11 richard brb
18:11 Loisb k
18:11 Graham hum, no it was Feb 2008
18:11 Loisb but whos counting
18:12 Graham better be a no/short indicator BH
18:12 Loisb for sure
18:13 Loisb peoples is getting blurry
18:13 Graham and someone turned on the blue/green light
18:13 Loisb the nerve
18:15 Loisb I'm losing pixels now
18:15 Graham so Iwonder if Rich will stay out to get the overnight time......to keep his log complete?
18:16 Graham they are probably with your beehive captures lois :)
18:16 Loisb depends on how much walking they did today
18:16 Loisb most likely
18:16 Loisb will have to paste them in - g
18:16 Graham i bet its getting cold quickly now, so he shouldn't stay out
18:17 Loisb he usually has good sense about that sort of thing
18:17 Graham OF 1916
18:17 Graham nice shot there
18:17 Loisb did they ever all gather on the walk for a group shot for us?
18:17 Loisb very - and against the sky
18:18 richard nice
18:18 Graham didn't see them
18:18 Loisb oh oh - nice
18:18 Graham I think they were all in the Bear Pit
18:18 richard the stream is beautiful
18:18 Loisb told Carol I expected at least one group photo
18:18 Loisb yes
18:19 Graham left my cell on and nobody called either
18:19 Loisb which probably means they weren't at OF all together
18:20 Loisb I did get captures of Bruce and Rich the first day at OF
18:20 Graham were they at BH yesterday too?
18:20 Loisb no idea
18:21 Loisb know Bruce wanted to do more than just the upper basin but no idea where they were - probably depended on roads and weather
18:22 Graham they should have been able to get to lower basin ok
18:22 Loisb don't know if Bruce has snow driving experience
18:22 Graham Fountain, Gt Ftn
18:22 Graham I bet the roads were prettyy clear
18:22 Loisb they walked the upper basin loop the day they got there
18:23 Graham only once?
18:23 Loisb only once when they called me
18:23 Loisb they had driven all nite - am sure they were tired
18:23 richard i can still see OF, but the light is almost completely gone
18:23 Loisb yep
18:24 Loisb need graham's flashlight out there
18:24 richard yeah
18:24 Graham hope they have a good day tomorrow and safe drive home
18:24 richard I'm gonna have to say evening to you
18:24 Graham I am out of here, back Monday night. see you
18:24 Loisb me too - all of them -

08:03 Loisb my son hauled me to the doc and then hauled me to his house

08:04 Loisb he wouldn't let me come home till I could walk to the end of the block and back twice
08:04 Loisb I didn't know that people die from it - course I didn't know I had it either
08:04 Ryan haha
08:05 Ryan Im thinking that steamthis morning was Grand...
08:05 Loisb sure might have been - hope it went off for folks to see but didn't see any one out that direction

08:19 Ryan  
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X4zA_YPCyHs
08:19 Ryan byee
08:20 Ryan is making Chicken Dumpling soup so he is watching :): Plume 0920
08:32 Ryan is making Chicken Dumpling soup so he is watching :): ppl r waving at us
08:39 Ryan is making Chicken Dumpling soup so he is watching :): OF 0938
09:29 Michael Plume on the still-cam around 10:24, maybe. Didn't get a good enough look to be certain.
09:29 Derek Hi Michael
09:30 Michael Hi Derek. wasn't sure anybody was here.
09:30 Derek I'm just looking through all the newest street level images on Google Earth
09:31 Michael Aywhere in particular?
09:31 Derek I know for a fact they've added lots to NY and CT
09:32 Derek And also parts of Canada too
09:33 Michael I wonder how many camera teams they have deployed at any given time.
09:34 Derek I know they drive around in a black car with several cameras on the roof. The captures are automatic and work with a GPS
09:36 Michael By the way, since I'm been away from the cameras recently: Has Beehive defintely fallen off the 12-16 hour bandwagon?
09:37 Derek I don't know. I'm only on cam for a small part of the day
09:37 Derek I don't know if its gone today or not
09:37 Ryan is making Chicken Dumpling soup so he is watching :): It hasnt
09:37 Ryan hi D
09:37 Ryan hi michael
09:37 Derek There you go Michael, direct from the expert :-)
09:38 Ryan g
09:38 Ryan i wish
09:39 Michael Just to be sure: "It hasn't" gone today?
09:39 Michael Or "It hasn't" fallen off the 12-16 hour bandwagon?
09:39 Ryan Not that ive seen
09:39 Ryan ill check
09:42 Ryan electronic data as of 9-14 says 11-14hrs, but thats a month ago
09:44 Ryan sry Mike i dnt kno
09:47 Loisb Hi - made it back again finally
09:47 Loisb missed last OF of course
09:47 Michael I was just reading the chat-logs and it seemed like we lost track of Beehive a few days ago.
09:47 Derek Has Rich been in touch?
09:48 Loisb not lately - I missed his call Fri and he hasn't called since
09:48 Michael I guess there was a 23-hour inteval (single? double? who knows) and it hasn't been seen since...
09:48 Derek I was hoping to get a group picture of them before they come home.
09:48 Loisb but I had the capture program running yesterday and never saw a Beehive
09:48 Loisb me too
09:49 Loisb sent rich and carol both with threats that w wanted group photo
09:49 Loisb did get the daytime Beehive Friday
09:49 Derek I spoke to Bruce on Thursday but since then his phone goes straight to voicemail
09:50 Loisb he is probably out of range - know he wanted to get to some of the other areass
09:50 Loisb or he forgot his recharger - g
09:52 Loisb if Beehive went right after dark last nite - and it was splashing bunches - then I was hoping for one this morning
10:00 Michael Technical question: when I read the chat-logs it just shows me the text. Is there any way to see who posted what?
10:00 Michael Some conversations would make much more sense that way...
10:00 Loisb what browser do you use?
10:01 Michael I'm using firefox.
10:01 Derek Use IE
10:01 Ryan Yes IE is better
10:01 Loisb seems like when i am at my son's and use IE I can read the names - I use FF - copy paste to text when I want to know - g
10:01 Michael OK. I'll try that and see what happens.
10:05 Michael Thanks. So If I want names I can use IE. and if I want html code to display properly I can stick with Firefox.
10:05 Ryan OF 1104
10:05 Loisb right - but if you copy paste to text remember you can see the names for a quick look
10:06 Michael And If I want to keep track of who's who, I need a memory upgrade...
10:06 Loisb that too
10:06 Loisb g
10:07 Loisb wb contner
10:09 contner Thanks. Watching my Bengals and the cam
10:11 Michael I should be doing the same. Actually (checks to-do list) I probably shouldn't be doing either.
10:11 Loisb it looks even colder now
10:12 Loisb well - tis warmer - up to 13 now
10:13 Ryan Who r they playing, the bengals
10:13 contner Ravens
10:14 Ryan nice
10:14 contner Both teams are 3-1. Today, that changes and hopefully in our favor!
10:15 Ryan I watching Steelers!
10:18 Loisb Derek - is that some of our wayward folks on the walk?
10:19 Derek I don't know
10:20 Derek I can't recognise them
10:20 Ryan I cant tell if thats R or not
10:20 Loisb kind of looks like Rich on the left but I can't tell the color of the jacket
10:20 Loisb he has a red plain
10:20 Loisb plaid
10:21 Loisb would think he would be in his warmer one though
10:23 Ryan thats not R then
10:23 Derek VW should be with them but I can reach her phone either
10:25 Loisb well - shucks
10:25 Loisb they better be having a good time
10:28 contner How could they not be having a good time being in Parkadise!
10:30 Loisb they sure haven't provided us with much entertainment - g
10:32 Ryan haha
10:32 contner As much as I love YNP it would be nice to be near a beach today
10:33 Loisb good time to visit a nice warm park
10:33 contner LIke the Everglades NP
10:33 Loisb that would do
10:33 Loisb or I could be convinced to visit Hawaii Volcanoes
10:34 contner Yes! Been to see Diamond Head once. Would love to see others
10:35 Loisb once was enough for me and Ohau - but loved the Big Island
10:35 Derek CCs on the cam now. I'm going for tea.
10:35 contner I agree and hope to visit another island in the future
10:35 Loisb enjoy
10:36 Loisb I have several friends who go over every year but they won't adopt me
10:36 contner You may have to try and change that LOL
10:36 Loisb alas i have a lot list of places I want to see or revisit
10:37 contner That is for sure for me too
10:37 Loisb next year a friend and i are doing eastern W
10:38 Loisb Washington - in May before it gets hot
10:38 contner Sounds great. Never been that far west except in the air.
10:38 Loisb lots to see - and lots of parks too
10:38 contner OH NO! Ravens scored on interception
10:39 Loisb we even have a state park with a geyser - gas one
10:39 Loisb sorry
10:39 contner Yes, love the parks too. I stayed in Badlands and hiked last year. Really great.
10:40 Loisb get any lightning storms? Rich got some great photos the year we were there
10:41 contner While at Devils Tower, a tornado went right over the campground we were in right outside of the park and I did get some good lightning video.
10:41 contner Michael, are you in a warm place?
10:41 Michael My goodness. That sounds frightening.
10:42 Michael Not that far from you, I think.
10:42 Michael It looks lovely outside.
10:42 contner Then you are not currently in a warm place!
10:42 contner Near me is cold today
10:43 contner Would still love to be at NYP, cold or not after watching the cam and longing to be on that boardwalk
10:44 Michael Well it isn't summer any more. 36 overnight, about 55 now.
10:44 Michael YNP is a whole lot colder...
10:44 contner Yeah, that is for sure. Not summer now.
10:53 contner Field Goal Bengals - Ravens are still ahead though.:S
10:54 Michael Did I hear right that they botched yet another field goal earlier?
10:55 contner Yes, correct. Come on Shane Graham!
10:56 Michael I suppose there are 100 other sites where I could alse get game updates and commentary. This one has geysers too.
10:56 contner Funny!
11:03 contner Wow, pretty steamy in the back part of the boardwalk!
11:04 contner Never been there under 35 degrees

15:07 Michael Oh. Too late.
15:07 Ryan Hello Michael, Grand just started, yeah bout 5mins ago i think
15:07 Ryan i was here but left when i came back it was going
15:07 Ryan im guessing the start was 1559
15:08 Michael Then we should be just about due for a second burst, if we're lucky.
15:08 Ryan and if they move the cam
15:10 Ryan looks like it stopped
15:10 Ryan Come GRAND! Go for SECONDS!!!!!!!!
15:10 Ryan :'D

15:10 Ryan Nice!!! It went a second time!
15:11 Ryan ok
15:11 Ryan That was a fast 2nd burst...
15:12 Ryan as soon as lion or BH goes ill put up another recap, ill try to do it every 2-3hrs
15:12 Ryan Whens R come back
15:17 Michael I've been told (offline) that Lion erupted while I was away. If so, that was the first of a series and now we're waiting for the second.
15:17 Ryan ok, do u have a time
15:17 Ryan juss wondering
15:18 Ryan Little Cub 16:16
15:20 Ryan BH is splashing alot so keep watching
15:23 Michael No time, unfortunately. It would be on the still-cam if you have captures from earlier today (15:00?)
15:23 Ryan nope

15:28 Michael Indicator

15:36 richard looks like 48 hours ago
15:36 richard no, just got here
15:36 mab I am on static, can you see how many people are there?
15:36 Ryan for daytime eruptions, nighttime was possible
15:36 Ryan like 6
15:36 richard yeah
15:37 Ryan that start was like explosive...
15:38 richard i was in and out and happened to just be out then
15:38 Ryan Good show Beehive
15:38 richard very good!
15:38 Ryan hello Allan
15:38 Ryan Hello mab
15:38 Ryan Hello sparekitty
15:38 Ryan didnt even see u guys come in...
15:39 richard nice and clear
15:39 Allan Hi Ryan
15:44 mab I heard from vw around 1300 that there has been no F&M yet
15:45 mab I guess I should say had been, at that time
15:46 Ryan vw is on her way home i think, said she left at 1330
15:46 Ryan hello CC
15:46 Ryan did u see BH
15:46 Michael If F&M would go now I think the steam cloud would be distinctive. Though we've had trouble with F&M clouds before.
15:47 Ryan Yes, only if theres wind tho
15:55 mab I think I am back. Funky connections today.
16:07 Ryan OF1706
16:07 Ryan ie
16:15 Ryan boiling and splashes at North Goggles Geyser17:14
16:15 Ryan Lion Minor 1713
16:17 Ryan lion Minor 17:16
16:18 Ryan another NG splash 1718
16:22 Ryan Lion Minor 17:22
16:24 Ryan Lion Minor 17:24
16:25 Ryan Michael, mab, contner, richard, and jason, have any of u ever seen North Goggles on the cam????
16:25 Ryan Lion Minor 17:25
16:27 Michael No. It has been almost completely dormant since the cams were set up.
16:27 Ryan Plate 1726
16:27 Ryan Well I saw splasing and ?boiling? at it not too long agp
16:28 Michael Minor eruptions only reach 10-15 feet and last 10-15 seconds, so they would be very hard to catch.
16:28 Michael Saw it on the cam? or in person?
16:28 Michael Oblong 17:27 ie.
16:28 Ryan on cam
16:30 Ryan So a minor is taller than Lions cone???
16:31 Michael I'd guess they are a similar height. They're a bit taller than a person standing on the boardwalk.
16:31 Ryan Plume 1530
16:31 Ryan ok
16:32 Ryan i mean 1730... oops
16:34 Michael I've never see a NG major, but they are more like 25-30 feet and last a couple of minutes.
16:35 contner I always miss Behive!!
16:36 contner Hi everyone
16:38 contner You there Richard?
16:39 mab I saw a North Goggles once, it was after the 3rd Lion. It was ebbing and pulsating, and then erupted.
16:40 mab I saw a gazer this summer who was there an remembers the exact date, but I dont remember.
16:42 Michael Hi Ryan, can you describe where you saw NG showed up in the camera view?
16:43 Ryan right of Lion but left of the sign
16:44 Ryan behind the BW
16:44 Ryan it ws Sept 24 2004 i think
16:45 mab Thats cool, the one I saw was in the 90s
16:47 Ryan mab, MG was splashin around 17:20
16:48 Ryan ng
16:49 Michael That does sound like the right location. although that activity is different from anything I've seen from it.
16:50 Michael most boiling and splashing came right when it hit overflow, so episiodes would be more like 10 minutes apart.
16:56 Ryan fan
16:56 Ryan and
16:56 Ryan mortar
16:56 Ryan 17:56!
16:57 Ryan 1-7-5-6!!!
17:00 Michael And the crowd goes wild...
17:00 Ryan they do actually
17:00 Ryan at least the one i missed in july they did
17:01 Ryan i was at BH and i heard over the radio
17:01 Ryan "HEY WE GO A FAN AND MORTAR 1240! OMG! OMG! EAST VENT 1240"!!
17:01 Ryan or something like that
17:02 Michael Last one I saw the crowd was quieter...at 0330 everyone is kind of groggy.
17:02 Ryan haha
17:03 contner You are funny Ryan, in a good way!
17:04 Ryan yay
17:05 Ryan Im just mad cause i missed F&M the ONE day i ws there in 8 years,
17:05 Ryan so calling one on the webcam is second best
17:06 Michael Missing geysers is (or at least should be) part of the lifestyle.
17:06 Michael I had one shot at Giant this decade, and I goofed up.
17:07 Ryan ouch
17:07 Ryan sry man that would hurt
17:09 Michael It wasn't a total loss -- I got there about 15 minutes in. But it's been a good long time since I experienced the excitement of a start.
17:09 Ryan i prob couldve made it to F&M aboutn7mins in but still, wouldnt have looked the same
17:10 Ryan by the time i wouldve got there it wouldve been nearing the end
17:11 Michael yup. I've made the sprint from Grand any number of times. And it's almost never worth it.
17:12 Ryan So i stayed at BH, it was a nice BH & OF dualie i got to call, cuase everyone was at F&M
17:12 Ryan dnt know which wouldve been better
17:16 Ryan Goodnite all!
17:17 Ryan Its been a full day
17:17 Michael Good night. I think I'll sign off too.
17:17 mab Did you get an on the ground report on F&M?
17:17 Ryan no not yet
17:17 Ryan but it was a definite F&M
17:17 Ryan thats for sure
17:18 mab So your time was a steam cloud, right? I was sending an email an wasnt watching then
17:18 Ryan yes

07:59 lcd D. a couple of times I could see spikes.
08:00 Derek When there is so much steam, I can't tell Grand from Oblong
08:01 lcd seems to me the steam moves faster with Grand.
08:01 Derek I saw a spike
08:01 Derek Sorry I was in doubt :-)
08:02 lcd no problem. I waited a few seconds because I wasen't sure.
08:08 lcd another 1 burst.
08:19 Derek Hi Anna
08:19 Anna howdy. is there a prediction for OF?
08:20 Derek On the static cam page it says 9:34
08:21 Anna guess I'll go do something important for a few minutes then. Rats, the only thing I need to do is clean the place. Ick. Later!
08:25 Anna Okay, I'll do something important after it erupts. I'll be that person out there is hoping it goes early!
08:27 Anna that should read, i'll bet that person. . .

08:42 Jason Snowfox My last trip was September 20th, 2001.
08:42 Anna what's North Goggle? I haven't unpacked my books yet.
08:42 Jason Snowfox OF ie 9:42
08:42 Jason Snowfox North Goggle is near Lion Geyser, the round crater where the trail splits into a T going towards grand.

08:48 Derek Seeya
08:49 Derek Just going to help Wife make the bed. Be right back
08:49 Anna back to cleaning for me. see ya later.
08:50 Jason Snowfox Was hoping that Derek, CC, or Graham could confirm the NG event
08:51 Jason Snowfox I wouldn't mind NG acting up =)
08:57 Derek The first I knew about the Goggles thing was Ryans posting
09:05 lcd someone reported on the listserv a lot of steam and splashing to t foot in the NG area.
09:06 lcd NG minor would go 10 to 15 feet.
09:06 lcd so, don't know what it was.
09:06 Derek I've just zoomed the cam over to that area
09:07 Derek Can you give me some idea as to where NG would be on there?
09:07 lcd should be splashing to 1 foot.
09:08 Derek A bit closer
09:08 Derek Just in time for Lion
09:09 Derek 10:09 Lion
09:10 lcd to the righ of Lion, maybe 50 feet.
09:11 Derek Near that bench?
09:11 lcd from this angle, yes.
09:12 lcd the bench is in front of Linn.
09:13 Derek Isn't Heart Spring there too?
09:13 lcd Heart S, is this side of Lion
09:15 lcd from the cam angle a little left of Lion.
09:20 lcd well, I may want to change that.
09:20 Jason Snowfox NG would be a bit right to where you have it now
09:21 Jason Snowfox Kinda infront of Lion at a kitty corner to the boardwalk split
09:21 Jason Snowfox The photo I posted gives you a general area
09:21 Jason Snowfox yeah
09:21 Jason Snowfox NG should be visable here
09:22 Derek If we push the zoom too far it goes blurry
09:22 Jason Snowfox that's not where it would be at anyway
09:23 Jason Snowfox The camera angle is just a little bit to low to get a good view of NG
09:23 Jason Snowfox maybe he saw Goggles itself doing a 1 foot eruption?
09:24 lcd I agree with that.
09:27 Jason Snowfox Would match the location and general history
09:31 Jason Snowfox go little cub go
09:32 Dave M Hi all
09:33 Derek Hi Dave
09:33 Jason Snowfox hi Dave
09:33 lcd hi Dave
09:34 Dave M I checked the video from last night. I don't think Ryan saw N Goggle. Location was wrong and behavior was completely different from what I've seen at N Goggle in the past.
09:35 Jason Snowfox Thats kinda what we were saying
09:35 Dave M Also, I cecked this mornings Beehive. Definitely no indicator.
09:37 Dave M Did anyone get Riverside Yesterday?
09:40 lcd interesting, I was watching the static cam, first picture I saw there was a puff of steam the next updae BH was to 50-75 feet.
10:07 Derek 11:07 Plume

16:08 vw don't want to call or text if they are sleeping!
16:08 Graham I have not heard anything. how was your trip - other than cold?
16:09 vw It was fun to meet the people who frequent here!
16:09 vw I didn't have much luck with geysers though.
16:09 vw Oh well, there will be other trips.
16:10 Graham well at least the snow didn't disrupt your trip did it?
16:10 vw Sat out several hours at Fan and Mortar. Saw some interesting cycles, but nothing came of them.
16:10 vw Roads were interesting both in and out of the Park.
16:10 vw Several accidents on I90 on way home due to icy sections.
16:11 Graham oh, not so good then
16:11 Graham did you see BH? was watching on Saturday when it didn't go in daylight
16:11 vw mostly people driving like the roads were clear and dry and not anticipating slick.
16:11 vw There wasn't a reported BH from Friday until late yesterday.
16:11 vw I had left by then.
16:12 vw believe me, there was NOBODY out overnights!
16:12 Graham ah, oh well. So what did you get up to with bill, carol, rich and bruce?

16:13 Graham oh no!
16:13 vw did a walk about then they all went out to the Hayden and Lamar on separate jaunts. I stayed in teh basin.
16:13 Graham Derek was watching but didn't see everyone on the BW

16:14 Graham yeah..and F&M waited till last night I see

16:22 Jason Snowfox that 103F temp orally was ALMOST daddies first panic and ER trip
16:23 vw and your flying? that is not going to be fun.
16:23 Jason Snowfox she's good now
16:23 Jason Snowfox Was last wednesday
16:23 Jason Snowfox Thursday it peaked, she was back to normal yesterday
16:23 vw just want to note that mesowest is showing temp at OF is 42 F right now. Double the high temp over the weekend!
16:24 Graham still 50F lowere than my high today :(
16:24 vw kids get over being sick really fast. Lesson number 57 that they forgot to tell you in the hospital.
16:24 vw we barely made it to 30 here in Billings today
16:24 Jason Snowfox They forgot to tell us alot at the hospital
16:24 Graham so you don't have the cold yet?
16:24 Jason Snowfox including the fact we were released nearly 12 hours prior to us being told
16:24 vw actually Jason, those are all things that they should tell you before conception!
16:24 Jason Snowfox me? no.. willpower, fought it off
16:25 Jason Snowfox Ching's sickly
16:25 Jason Snowfox I have to pick up meds and nyquil on the way home for her
16:25 Graham you will get it next weekend :)
16:25 Jason Snowfox eating a clove of garlic in the morning and evenings
16:25 Jason Snowfox =)
16:25 Jason Snowfox i'm a firm believer in anti-colds and garlic
16:26 Graham you might get to try chinese remedies at the weekend
16:26 Jason Snowfox her parents think i'm sick as is
16:26 Jason Snowfox whenever they see me, there's always something wrong
16:26 vw hahahahaha!
16:26 Jason Snowfox generally.. my neck
16:26 Jason Snowfox it just gets tweaked
16:26 vw might want to take your own tea bags!
16:26 Jason Snowfox but when you see them once every 6 months, thats the impression you give i suppose lol
16:27 Jason Snowfox actually the chinese remedy stuff for the neck worked lol
16:27 vw :D
16:27 Jason Snowfox it tweaks itself ~ 4 months =/ takes almost 2 weeks before I stop wincing and hold my head up straight
16:27 Jason Snowfox teenage injury
16:28 Jason Snowfox I've seen it all though, LA Chinatown about every 2 months, else I get a very pouty wife
16:28 Jason Snowfox begging for dimsum
16:28 Jason Snowfox (and I hate LA)
16:28 Graham dimsum is good...but intimidating too
16:29 Jason Snowfox if you ever visit LA, I can give ya couple good locations
16:29 Jason Snowfox Lobster tail dumplings = omg foodgasm
16:29 Graham mmmm
16:30 vw best part of visiting places outside of MT is the food.
16:30 Graham its the birds feet and other stuff that gets me, i'm not that adventurous
16:30 Jason Snowfox neither am I
16:30 vw oh yeah, and seeing my kids...
16:30 Jason Snowfox the first time I met her parents, they took us to a chinese restaurant
16:30 Jason Snowfox ordered all sorts of stuff
16:30 Allan Hi vw
16:30 vw i would. then i can graciously say been there...
16:30 Jason Snowfox Ching informed me that had I not eaten all of it or tried it, it would be disrespectful
16:31 vw Hi Allan! Cold weather hit WI yet? headed out here after today.
16:31 Jason Snowfox So I figure it's dimsum, no problem
16:31 Jason Snowfox No.. it's stuff I don't have a clue what it is, nor would I care to eat again lol
16:31 Graham yeah, better if you can't understand the chinese description of what you were eating
16:31 Allan Cold weather hit and today we had snow. If it hadn't been wet snow, it would have piled up to about 6 inches
16:31 Jason Snowfox Duck feet, peiking duck, some fish on the bone and sause, some red pork stuff, some stuff I have no idea what it was but ate it anyway
16:32 Graham so how many days in Den?
16:32 Jason Snowfox 4 days
16:32 Graham ok. Will you get to visit RM NP?
16:32 Jason Snowfox I did last time I was there
16:32 Jason Snowfox It might be closed by now
16:32 vw A - we had about the same. Because of the cold, very light weight snow.
16:32 Jason Snowfox at least the peak
16:32 Allan vw, here's a lint to a photo of the Arnica Fire
16:33 Allan  
http://earthobservatory.nasa.gov/images/imagerecor…
16:33 Jason Snowfox But work is over, so i'll see you tomorrow.
16:33 vw that is GREAT A! thanks!
16:33 Graham bye Jason
16:33 vw did you see some of the pictures on the YUpClose page?
16:34 Allan No, I didn't know about YUpClose
16:34 Graham Daisy 1734
16:35 vw bye Jason!
16:35 Allan Bye Jason
16:35 vw Yellowstone Up Close and Personal. Its a page that many people post pictures and trip reports to. Lemme get the link. brb
16:36 vw http://www.yellowstoneupcloseandpersonal.com/
16:37 Allan Thank You!
16:37 vw np. great resource pages
16:37 Allan It sure looks like it.
16:38 vw any who haven't checked Allans NASA link, worth clicking on. Amazing picture.
16:38 Graham notice what's not there?
16:38 Graham I looked at it, nice picture
16:38 vw great picture of the lake too!
16:39 vw whats not there G? gotta bite.
16:39 Graham no high level link for Geysers or Thermal Features or Geology
16:39 Graham but theres a link for reptiles!
16:40 vw yeah, not everything is on that page, but I use GOSA for those things.
16:40 vw lotsa hikers use UpClose. Great scene and creature pics.
16:41 Graham ok, I will take a look
16:44 vw ok, back to the subject HERE.... Anybody have any idea what we might have on for our viewing pleasure tonight?
16:45 vw saw BH called this am right after 0700. A Grand too, but hoping we might see it?
16:46 Graham yeah Grand is possible unless it went while we were not looking. Hard to tell without the static going too.
16:46 Graham Maybe a Lion but probably not
16:46 Graham Oh, the OF indicator is looking good
16:46 vw just checked my email...got a link for the same Arnica picture with annotations for locations, from mab.
http://earthobservatory.nasa.gov/NaturalHazards/vi…
16:47 Allan The annotations help.
16:48 vw on both of the pics there are a couple of smaller fires i didn't know about.
16:49 Graham so when might you go back to the park?
16:49 Graham running out of weekends now
16:49 vw I don't currently have any plans.
16:50 vw Would like to get back before closing, but if winter is here to stay, not so sure. Roads in the park could stay nasty if we don't see a return of normal temps.
16:50 Graham yeah and the closing just makes it that much worse
16:50 vw 4WD and/or chains were required on all roads excepting West to OF yesterday afternoon.
16:52 vw it is SOOOO hard to turn at Norris! I KNOW how close I am!
16:52 Graham was there that much snow?
16:52 vw Not Saturday, but ice.
16:53 Graham so 4WD doesn't help!
16:53 vw Don't know how the internal roads were Sunday, but heard of one friend with a truck who put his chains on.
16:53 Graham ok
16:53 Graham maybe its going to be a snowy winter this year
16:54 vw there were several cars reported to have slid off at the Madison Junction yesterday morning.
16:54 vw I haven't had enough good luck with vehicles this year to risk losing one in the park!
16:55 Graham yeah ice makes it very tricky
16:57 Graham OF 1756
16:57 vw has anybody heard an on the scene confirmation on F&M from yesterday?
17:01 Graham it went "overnight" and Pat has a screen capture from 1800 yesterday that looks like F&M
17:02 Graham John Warnock checked it today and Bill posted a message that will come out tonight
17:02 vw met John just before I left. Super nice guy! QUITE funny!
17:03 Allan I think John's a riot.
17:04 vw I was actually hoping that he might have been out at F&M. he had planned to do a little sitting in the afternoon.
17:04 Graham yeah he and I get on well, especially when hes not in the park when I am :)
17:04 vw :D
17:04 Allan That's good, G
17:06 Graham yeah but given how cold its been, its not too surprising he left
17:07 vw Bruce and Rich were still out there when I left. Tried to call them on the radio, but my batteries were dead. John was going to watch BH for a bit then walk out.
17:07 vw but that was about 1300, so a bit before the 1800 time
17:08 cb Hi all
17:08 Allan Hi cb
17:09 vw HI cb!!!
17:09 vw safe trip home?
17:09 Graham hey look who's here!
17:09 cb you get home at a decent hour?
17:09 Graham welcome back cb
17:09 cb yep safe on this end....long, but safe!
17:09 vw left shortly after you guys. Home about 1830
17:09 cb Hi Graham...missed ya all
17:10 vw yeah, guessing i got a little more sleep last night than you did.
17:10 cb yep I bet you did, but it looked awfully snow on your end of the mountains'
17:10 Graham yeh, we shivered here for you
17:10 Graham and I got so cold I had to go to FL to warm up...ahhhh 90F
17:11 cb Thanks G. I did aplently
17:11 cb ya rub it in.....
17:11 vw spits of snow and ice on the roads on the way home. Lucky for me others had slid off so i knew where to slow down!
17:11 cb yicks
17:11 vw it was a busy day for the MT HPs
17:11 cb we had uneventful ride home...just trying to stay awake. arrive home at 2:40ish
17:12 Graham so how were the geysers cb?
17:12 vw oooh ick.
17:12 vw did Bill go into work today?
17:12 cb up at 630 w kids..no holiday for bill today
17:13 vw and you had a full one too! double icks!
17:13 cb no, today was a holiday for bill....first one didn't sound correct. Not to many geysers for this GG this time
17:13 Graham you did get at least one BH tho?
17:14 cb we did our dues at F&M, but not our time to view it yet
17:14 cb Got to see a half of one....3 min. indicator on Thurs
17:14 Graham yeah, I figured it would go Sunday and then it went too late. Hard to watch when its so cold
17:15 Graham grrr
17:15 vw not the watching that is hard G. THAT is a pleasure! its the standing still
17:15 vw :D
17:15 Graham Pat thinks the bubblers are going again?
17:15 Allan Be that Grand???
17:15 Graham in general that is, not now
17:15 Graham no Grand
17:15 Graham probably Turban
17:15 vw been watching A. steam, but not sure if Grand
17:16 Allan You're right, of course.
17:16 cb We all got a taste of what your Jan visits are like!...-6 degrees on Sat morn
17:16 cb Bill and I did get to see Grand all by ourselves. a walk up...that was cool
17:16 Graham yeah thats nice. highs of 20 are typical for Jan
17:17 Graham yeah that was nice of Grand
17:17 Graham and you didn't have to dig out a spot in the snow to sit down either :)
17:18 cb has anyone heard from ....The Boys? John W. said they were out at F&M w them yesterday afternoon. No that was a BRIEF period of blue sky
17:18 Allan Time for me to go, bye all.
17:18 vw bye Allan! Hi to V!
17:19 cb Oh Hi Allan how you feeling
17:19 Allan Will do, V
17:19 Graham no news from Bruce and Rich yet. Lois hadn't heard either
17:19 Allan I'm feeling fine cb!
17:19 cb are the bubblers behind BH cone, toward the river?
17:19 cb Glad to here Allan
17:20 Graham most of them are to the right when viewed from the BW, or to the left from the cam
17:20 Graham lil bubbles and steam is all you see
17:20 Graham often active in winter
17:20 cb I saw em!!!

17:23 cb ahhh
17:24 Graham but you are right, she has keen webcam eyes
17:24 Graham Isee static cam is back
17:24 cb was in lower all morning on sunday....first tracks through the snow!!!
17:25 Graham cool...but Fountain didn't cooperate?
17:26 cb saw fountain on Friday afternoon.....did a drive up
17:26 cb And walked out to Narcisisisisis
17:26 cb Narcisius
17:26 cb Narcissus
17:26 cb lol
17:26 vw i liked the first one!
17:27 cb g
17:27 cb was in overflow...waited about 5 min...and got a long!
17:28 cb Loved the Inn!!! Didn't want to leave the room. We got the Bridal Suite!!! woo Hoo
17:28 vw but then you almost COULDNT leave the room either cb!
17:29 cb g
17:29 cb yea was kinda stuck close by huh!
17:30 vw maybe thats why they dubbed it the bridal suite?
17:30 Graham hehe, glad you got some nice eruptions
17:30 vw by now the mice have a free and open range of the Inn and the lack of heat is no problem.
17:30 cb Thats ok....I went out a kinda gave that one big tree a shove....hoping the winter will topple it over
17:31 Graham cool...did you have a good view down-basin?
17:31 cb blushing

17:31 vw all of us had rooms on the first floor. views somewhat limited G.
17:32 Graham yeah, oh well
17:32 cb No . was a corner room that had baywindows on both sides with window seats and a wonderful view of OF....ifn the tree wasn't in the way
17:32 Graham its nice to be able to wander out and go sit in the inn looking at the people without getting cold
17:33 Graham guess they figured you wouldn't be looking out the windows!
17:33 vw next year we graduate to the second floor
17:34 cb yes. I really enjoyed our time at the inn....spent the evenings on the loft seats w Hot coco and great company
17:34 cb yeah. Did you see the rooms that face down basin on the 3rd floor?
17:34 cb omg
17:35 vw those are the ones to get!
17:35 vw noticed on the Xanterra website they are now taking reservations for next year. maybe we should pick a warmer time to meet?
17:35 cb The family style rooms w a view and your own lobby seating....Yep, absolutly
17:36 vw that would be fun!

17:41 Graham nope, just depends whats going on. now and then I have to plan on being at work. most times they are flexible

10:41 Rich away Got at least two Grand T1C's and one G1C
10:42 Rich away Two Beehives, one on Wednesday and then on Sunday just before we left the park.
10:42 Rich away Thursday sat out there from 06:00 til 12:00 waiting in zero degrees and blowing snow.
10:42 Ryan waiting for?
10:43 Rich away Beehive
10:43 Ryan ahhh didnt happen
10:43 Rich away And it didn't go until 03:52 or something like that.

10:45 Derek Teatime
10:45 Rich away From the road on the north side.
10:45 Rich away enjoy derek
10:46 Ryan oh ok
10:46 Rich It is a rough trail, no formal path
10:46 Ryan cya d
10:46 Ryan So did u have fun?
10:46 Rich A LOT of fun.
10:47 Rich Different seeing the park in the snow.
10:47 Ryan depressing to leave aint it
10:47 Rich Not so depressing as now looking at the cam looks like I'm view thru the wrong end of a telescope.
10:47 Rich g
10:47 Rich Sorry to hear you are under the weather.
10:47 Rich Hope you get well soon.
10:48 Ryan Castle 1147
10:48 Ryan Thank you
10:48 Ryan i did the recaps for u
10:48 Rich I noticed, thank you very much.
10:48 Rich Seems they are being used.
10:48 Ryan couldnt do the BH interval thing no BH reported from fri till yesterday
10:48 Ryan yes they r
10:48 Rich I don't think there was a Beehive during that time.
10:49 Ryan Wow nearly 3day interval?????
10:49 Rich I got to call the one Sunday
10:49 Ryan nice...... F&M went sunday
10:50 Rich Sunday was 16:32 for BH
10:50 Rich Went after we had already left.
10:50 Ryan AND north goggle was splashing and boiling above the BW
10:50 Rich Bruce and John were down there just before.
10:50 Ryan I know I called F&M, BH, and GRAND that day
10:50 Rich I think I called Grand also.
10:50 Ryan Nice
10:51 Rich Was great seeing all the chatroom people and the other gazers.
10:51 Ryan Im sure it was
10:51 Rich Got to meet Lynn, Bill and John Warnock.
10:51 Ryan nice!'
10:52 Rich So much information I think I went into overload. So don't remember a lot of details, but now know part of the Grand cycle.
10:53 Rich Sat thru 12 Turban cycles before it went and then it was with a Grand start. g
10:53 Ryan WOW, 12, i did 7 isn 40degrees and rain and I THOUGHT THAT WAS BAD?!?
10:54 Rich Old age = stupidity. lol
10:54 Rich Just don't know when to give up. g
10:55 Rich The sun did come out for most of the wait for Grand so wasn't as bad as waiting for 6 hours in the blowing snow for NO Beehive.
10:55 Ryan hehe Grand s worth it tho, once you sit there for three hours it like why give up now
10:56 Rich Also learned alot about F&M cycle, id'd river, high, gold, angle, main, east, bottom and main on Mortar.
10:56 Rich Grand was great every time I saw it, just would have been 'nice' to have had more than a burst. g
10:57 Rich Fountain was great, caught it for a sunset eruption. Steamy but very nice
10:57 Ryan nice, the only reason i left BH to go see F&M last time cause they said over radio, "We have SERIOUS activity at F&M, if your are listening in Come to F&M now, wait, wait, woohoo yes we have a lock at 1454!!!!"
10:58 Rich Bruce gave periodic updates during his vigil at F&M while I was at Grand.
10:58 Rich All ended as junk cycles.
10:59 Rich But I got to see the 'warm up' a couple of times.
10:59 Ryan Those updates are fun, but if your at Grand, even when I made the SPRINT from Grand, the best part was over, wasnt even worth it...
10:59 Rich And I'm not up to walking let along running let alone Sprinting.
10:59 Ryan haha
11:00 Ryan If Giantess went youd sprint, or Steamboat
11:00 Ryan or WAIMANGU!!!!!
11:00 Rich The best I could have but still probably would miss them.
11:00 Ryan haha, i think Castles a major
11:01 Ryan I called it at... 1147, its still shooting well past the trees
11:01 Ryan so its thirteen minutes in
11:01 Rich Wednesday, Castle was the UGB geyser I got to see erupt.
11:02 Ryan The ONLY UGB geyser to erupt!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?
11:02 Rich no, I left out First geyser I got to see.
11:02 Ryan oh
11:03 Ryan Ive seen castle twice, a BIG one from Riverside (im still in disbelief even six years later, and a minor from Bh in July
11:03 Rich Sunday was a great day, Riverside, Grand, Beehive and as I got up to the top of the trail on the Snowlodge side OF.
11:03 Ryan You mean Observation viewpoint
11:04 Rich No, just after coming up from the river.
11:04 Rich Right in the way of OF water. lol
11:04 Ryan oh okokokokok
11:04 Ryan ok
11:05 Ryan So whend u get up then go to sleep
11:05 Rich Most mornings we were out before 7
11:06 Rich bed around 9
11:06 Ryan ok
11:06 Ryan wel it was dark
11:06 Rich yep
11:06 Ryan and COLD, I felt so bad for u guys
11:07 Ryan A funny story from my last Park trip:
11:07 Rich Wasn't to bad, we were dressed for the weather. My fingers were the only thing that got really cold and that was temporary, was while taking photos.
11:07 Rich k
11:07 Ryan Were waiting for the rain to end at the OF Inn, my pap says "Ryan can we have a sandwhich BEFORE we go to Grand?"
11:07 Ryan My response:
11:08 Ryan "Uhh, ok but make it fast ( We have gram, and three other kids...)"
11:08 Rich lol
11:08 Ryan So were at the van eating
11:08 Ryan I tell everyone
11:09 Ryan "Ok we need to go lets walk and eat..."
11:09 Rich g
11:09 Ryan RADIO:"Waves on Grand!!!"
11:09 Ryan RYAN:"RUN AND EAT! YES I SAID TO RUN AND EAT!"
11:09 Rich lol
11:09 Ryan RADIO: GRAND 1122!!!
11:10 Ryan RYAN: PAP!!! WHOS IDEA WASA IT TO EAT? WHY DO WE NEED FOOD!?!?!?!?!?
11:10 Rich rofl
11:11 Ryan I wasnt laughing at the time... I do now, butnot then
11:11 Rich I'm sure it wasn't all that funny at the time.
11:11 Ryan So I watched the second burst from Castle, it was still amazing.
11:11 Ryan Castle had to just hit 120ft!
11:11 Rich Castle benches and I became good friends, nice place to rest up.
11:12 Ryan Yes, you can see basically the whole basin from there
11:12 Ryan brb
11:12 Rich k
11:26 Jason Snowfox Castle is a fun geyser
11:27 Rich I enjoyed it.
11:29 Rich I had a great time waiting, listening to all the stories and expericences.
11:37 Ryan b but will leave a few times
11:38 Ryan will u upload urpics and vids R
11:39 Ryan better yet can u email me some of your best pics?
12:05 Rich Ryan, sorry I didn't reload the log until just now. I have yet to install my new camera software, as soon as I get that up and running, will take a look at my photos, post to FB and we can go from there, pick an choose.
12:05 Ryan ok, thx
12:10 Rich It has turned colder here, definitely need to start up the wood stove. bb
12:21 Rich Who's out on the sinter?
12:21 Rich More conewalkers
12:24 Rich Hello?
12:24 Jason Snowfox hrm.
12:24 Derek CC is on the cam.
12:25 Rich k
12:25 Jason Snowfox bust them
12:25 Rich good
12:25 Jason Snowfox she didn't zoom in on them though
12:25 Rich k
12:26 Derek I noticed
12:26 Derek I phoned her
12:26 Rich ty
12:28 Jason Snowfox Conewalkers should get a $10,000 USD fine, coupled with Banishment from the park -- forever 8)
12:30 Rich my first capture was at 12:21
12:30 Rich at 13:21
12:30 Rich hi cc
12:30 Rich hi mab
12:31 mab I got one capture from static cam too.
12:32 mab DaveM can probably put together a whole series
12:32 Rich I got 3 captures
12:32 mab good.
12:32 CC excellent
12:32 CC I did reach law enforcement
12:32 CC don't know if they got them
12:33 Jason Snowfox I think they just went to look, i didn't see them toss anything/damage intentionally
12:33 Rich All I have is standing and walking back.
12:34 Rich hi Bruce
12:34 mab any number of those people standing there can point - it was those guys-
12:34 Rich probably
12:37 Rich I'm getting brown outs with the high wind and rain, so I might disappear at any time.
12:37 Rich hi 867131
12:37 Bruce da Moose Hi, Derek - saw your earlier message about cell phone - sorry about that
12:38 Bruce da Moose It was VERY cold, and these Moose mitts have no facility when they are frozen.
12:38 Bruce da Moose Doing almost everything for me was complicated by the extreme cold weather there.
12:39 Bruce da Moose Also sorry about no pix in front of OF - geysers gazers are like cats - hard to herd.
12:39 Bruce da Moose It looks much warmer there today - rain instead o' snow
12:40 mab Sorry I didnt see y ou Bruce, by the time roads opened Friday it wasnt worth my coming down
12:41 Bruce da Moose That's OK mab, we all had our share of weather-related issues! Sounds like you had a nice hike with Kent, tho...
12:41 mab yes, mega grizzly tracks, 9 different bears. And a wolf howling at us across Pelican Creek
12:41 mab Very nice day, except I was hiking in my Sorels.
12:42 Bruce da Moose I would have swapped a day waiting for Beehive - this once - for your experience! :-)
12:43 Bruce da Moose What happened with your Sorrels? That's all I wore, and thank goodness!
12:43 mab Well that day you waited we were all watching from HERE, it looked cold up there.
12:43 Ryan I heard about ur BH wait Bruce
12:43 Bruce da Moose It felt cold too :-)
12:43 Ryan It was warm here
12:43 mab Just sore feet, I should have worn my hiking boots. 8.6 miles is too far for snowboots
12:43 Bruce da Moose You're a meany, Ryan!
12:43 Ryan sry - I have to bethere in the winter juss to feel it!
12:43 Bruce da Moose mab, understood.
12:44 Bruce da Moose I come form New England, so that kind of cold is not foreign to me - but it's been awhile
12:44 Ryan OF 1344
12:44 mab we were dressed well so we were comfy walking, too hot sometimes
12:45 mab waiting for geysers is cold business
12:45 Bruce da Moose It was the kind of weather where if you work you;re fine with lighter clothes, but if you stop for even a few moments you start to chill
12:46 Bruce da Moose Waitng for geysers this last weekend was DEFINITELY cold business!
12:46 Bruce da Moose Heck, sleeping in the OF INn was cold business - drafty extreior walls and a corrupt heating system saw to that!
12:46 Ryan hehe g
12:47 Bruce da Moose We also had two pets that came with the room. Very cuite little mouselets...
12:48 Bruce da Moose Entertained me all night while Rich slept
12:48 Ryan but isnt the OF Inn like one of America's Best? /:)
12:48 Bruce da Moose It is not one of the best - it is THE best! No other place I'd rather stay.
12:49 Ryan haha same here
12:49 mab Kent said I would feel right at home, drafty and mice. Its like my house.
12:49 Derek If I ever do win the loto and get to YNP, I would have to give the Inn a miss, because my wife is terrified of mice
12:49 Bruce da Moose Although for your geyser gazing convenience, the Lodge cabins are better. They also come with free pets.
12:49 Derek She'd rather have a Bison in the room
12:50 mab Sometimes BIG ones.
12:50 Bruce da Moose Derek, some Inn rooms are more modern and do not have mice.
12:50 Ryan BUT If you could park your RV over top of say... ...a hot spring, that be nice too...
12:50 mab The new wing is probably tightened up for that
12:50 Derek I'm more scared of spiders
12:50 Ryan Not an erupting hot spring, just a nice steaming one...
12:53 Bruce da Moose Is Beryl afraid of chipmunks? If not, she might enjoy the Lodge cabins :-)
12:54 Derek She likes to see them in the wild, but not too close
12:54 Derek Back in 1979 we saw lots of them up in Old Forge NY
12:55 Bruce da Moose I think little rodents are tres cute - I look forward to their presence.
12:55 Rich The price of progress, no indoor wildlife.
12:55 Bruce da Moose I do not look forward to the hanta virus, however!
12:56 Bruce da Moose Rich, ya gotta admit, the room was pretty spiffy - old, decrepit, drafty, cold, and dark, but spiffy!
12:57 Bruce da Moose There is also a Snow Lodge there that is far more modern, basically a new hotel. Some charm to it, but not like the Inn.
12:59 Bruce da Moose Well, the great flood is abot to repeat here in central California. I have not seen this much rain in years...
12:59 Rich Very Rustic.
12:59 Derek I hope you're above sea level Bruce
13:00 Bruce da Moose My house in 11 feet above MSL at the doorstep, so I;m OK - for now ;-)
13:00 mab I live at 5454.
13:00 Rich lol
13:00 Rich I'm at 1725
13:01 Bruce da Moose I wish I lived at 5454. maybe even higher.
13:01 mab no I mean 5353 maybe
13:01 mab almost 5499
13:01 Rich Bruce will float by, I'll throw him a line.
13:01 mab almost 5400
13:01 mab there i go
13:01 Ryan im at....
13:01 Bruce da Moose Rich, throw mab the line!
13:02 Rich mab, did you hear the one about - - - -
13:02 mab i have an off boardwalk opportunity that just came up, i can tell you about it after we do it.
13:02 Rich oh, not that kind of line.
13:02 mab i dont think you will be able to see it on the cam though
13:02 Bruce da Moose I want an off-boardwalk opportunity! Waahhh!
13:02 Ryan Im a mere 962ft
13:03 mab Fall is when you get to do things when crowds are down. its a history thing.
13:03 Rich Bruce there are plenty of back country trails.
13:03 Bruce da Moose Actually, Rich and cb and I had one - it was legal and fun :-)
13:03 mab i will take pics believe you me
13:04 Bruce da Moose Rich, I know - Shoshone and Heart Lake and Smokejumper so on, plus some off-trail places.
13:06 Rich Pat S's captures of F&M line up with my captures of F&M
13:07 Bruce da Moose You mean on the static cam?
13:08 Rich yes
13:09 Rich She posted to geyserlist
13:09 Bruce da Moose k
13:11 Bruce da Moose BH looks nice and steamy - just like it did for 5.5 hours Thursday morning...
13:11 Rich make that 6 for me.
13:11 Rich lol
13:12 Bruce da Moose I hadda go, Rich! Otherwise I would have been thar just as long...
13:12 Rich Well we were out in Nature.
13:13 mab I posted Smokejumper photos if you missed that. It was very cool up there.
13:14 Bruce da Moose Well, if it wasn't cold and wind, it would have been something else - hornets or meteorites ro SOMETHING...
13:14 Rich Those were nice mab
13:14 Bruce da Moose Hey, mab, saw your Smokejumper shots - pretty interesting! Reminded us of Norris a little bit.
13:14 mab long day though, but worth it after a summer of hiking, it gets easier if you get out a lot
13:15 Bruce da Moose Looks like Plume at 1415
13:15 Bruce da Moose My son Nick and I routinely hike up to 20 miles, so Smokejumper would have been doable.
13:15 mab i wont go again unless I camp or the road is open, it was too far to get to Biscuit Basin that early in the a.m.
13:16 Rich The group that was standing at Beehive Sunday when I got there told me that they saw the little vents to the right and the little one to the left going off at the start.
13:16 Bruce da Moose I hear ya. We always bget an early start on a hike that big.
13:16 mab we should do some hikes next year. Clark wants to go to Glen Africa and I said I would take him
13:16 mab that's about 16, 18 after you wander the thermals
13:17 mab Kent and I have a history argument going on out there, so he is always game to go
13:17 Bruce da Moose Beehive has both a close-t-cone indicator and some little platform bubblers near the cone - some people think they mean something, others do not.
13:17 Bruce da Moose Glen Africa? Where zat?
13:17 Rich k
13:18 mab western edge of Hayden Valley
13:18 Rich I just remembered it was said, un clogging my brain cell.
13:18 Bruce da Moose The close-to-cone indicator doe smean something.
13:18 mab Bombshell geyser, etc and etc.
13:18 Bruce da Moose Is it ieasier to get there from the east side, or west end of Mary Mt, trail?
13:18 mab Trout creek. you walk the old road
13:19 Bruce da Moose Oh, k
13:19 mab it could be fun to go in Trout and come out Mary Mtn, then you could hit Alabaster and Violet springs on the way out too
13:19 Bruce da Moose So a pretty easy walk then.
13:19 Bruce da Moose Love to see those sometime
13:19 mab Flat basically.
13:20 mab I went out in June, but it was too boggy to get to the geysers, July or August is better
13:20 mab except for herds of ***** bison in August make for some looong detours
13:21 Bruce da Moose I find that even the Sentinel Meadows group is too boggy most of the summer.
13:21 mab And I hate the deer flies there, I avoid that til fall too.
13:21 Bruce da Moose those reprehensible bison and deerflies!
13:21 mab pests, both.
13:22 Bruce da Moose I've seen rangers direct6ing bison traffic. I have to learn that skill.
13:23 mab so lets have Beehive.
13:24 Ryan Ive never been to Sentenial Meadows, thats where Iron pot is right?
13:24 mab Just finished a few hours of computer history stuff for the Boss man, I am ready to leave the computer now.
13:24 mab Yes, and the first building contructed in a National Park for public use.
13:25 mab the bath house.
13:25 Ryan Ah
13:25 Bruce da Moose Iron Pot, yes, and th one other name I recall from Sentinel Meadows is Queen's Laundry
13:25 Jason Snowfox Not much activity there
13:25 Ryan Any BIG geysers there (>70ft)
13:25 mab Other stuff at Mammoth was constructed prior to be being a park so they don't count.
13:25 Ryan yeah
13:26 Bruce da Moose Just small ones IIRC, and not many real geysers. Pretty springs
13:26 Ryan iirc?
13:26 Jason Snowfox It's kind of an untouched area, doesn't look as vandalized as say ugb
13:26 Bruce da Moose If I Recall Correctly
13:26 Jason Snowfox If I recall correctly
13:26 Ryan ugb is vandalized?
13:26 Jason Snowfox or Internet relay chat :P
13:26 Bruce da Moose Sentinel Meadows is only lightly visited
13:27 Bruce da Moose Just a few footpaths
13:27 Jason Snowfox most popular geysers/pools had their geyser eggs or sinter artwork taken or destroyed long ago
13:27 Ryan OH, yeah many ppl dnt like to walk
13:27 Jason Snowfox look at the pictures of OF in the 20's vs today
13:27 Jason Snowfox particuarlly crater picture
13:27 Bruce da Moose Not to far, but just not well-known
13:28 Jason Snowfox that and people seem to think geysers and pools are wishingwells or trash recepticles
13:28 Bruce da Moose You mean they aren't?
13:28 Rich lol
13:28 Bruce da Moose Another dearly held myth blown to bits!
13:28 Jason Snowfox be glad firearms are not allowed in the park 8)
13:29 Jason Snowfox else i'd be in jail
13:29 Bruce da Moose You mean they aren't?
13:29 Jason Snowfox I wouldn't shoot the wildlife, i'd shoot the people
13:29 Bruce da Moose Another sacred cow slaughtered at the table!
13:29 Bruce da Moose We have a maniac in our midst
13:30 Jason Snowfox shhh don't tell anyone bruce
13:30 Ryan hahahahaha!
13:30 Jason Snowfox in 2001, I passed by a ranger who caught someone off trail in the firehole between daisy and castle
13:30 Jason Snowfox I looked, clapped, and then cheered, all while that person glared at me
13:30 Bruce da Moose Only if you give me $10,000,000...
13:30 Rich Please don't shoot the big yellow one with blue green legs.
13:30 Ryan haha
13:30 Bruce da Moose The walking banana peel!
13:31 Jason Snowfox then said to the ranger "make an example out of her", and walked off
13:31 Rich lol
13:31 Jason Snowfox i'm sure I was not her best friend that day
13:31 Bruce da Moose We some yoyos off trail.
13:31 Ryan Im the kinda person who in the winter would see a person throw something in the pool, then id push them in a 10ft snow bank ("I swear i never saw them!")
13:31 Jason Snowfox no idea what she was doing, all wet and muddied
13:31 Jason Snowfox couldn't have been good either way
13:32 Bruce da Moose I'm not a slavish adherent to rules, but this place is special and needs to be treated with respect.
13:32 Ryan Yes it does
13:32 mab I remember an entire tour group that walked across Doublet to Lion! Scary.
13:32 Jason Snowfox If i see someone with soap, I call a ranger immediately if that gives you an idea of my fanatism/respect
13:32 mab The LE was scrambling to get up there.
13:33 Ryan LE?
13:33 Rich Law Enforcement
13:33 Jason Snowfox law enforcement
13:33 Ryan ah ok
13:34 Ryan You knwo the ppl who were just a OF
13:34 Jason Snowfox with regards to the geyser basins, i'm VERY intolerant to those who break the rules
13:34 Ryan by the vent
13:34 mab they did give a ticket to the tour operator
13:36 Jason Snowfox lion ie, 14:36 mdt
13:36 Ryan Lion 1435
13:36 Jason Snowfox not much of one
13:37 Rich Lion ie 14:35:39 wc
13:37 Jason Snowfox there he goes
13:37 Jason Snowfox :)
13:37 Ryan pretty good six=zed lion
13:37 Ryan sized
13:37 Rich Hey anyone think Lion is erupting? lol
13:37 Jason Snowfox initial?
13:38 Ryan looks like it
13:39 Rich very nice Lion
13:39 Jason Snowfox nice steamphase
13:40 Ryan yep...
13:40 mab Rich did you see Depression or Aurum or other good stuff on the hill?
13:40 Bruce da Moose Jason, you see someone with soap?
13:40 mab Now you know where Plate is it makes more sense on the webcam doesnt it?
13:40 Ryan sigh...i can still here,"Lion 1127, Lion 1-1-2-7"
13:40 Rich yes
13:40 Jason Snowfox a long time ago bruce
13:40 Bruce da Moose We saw a Aurum from near Beehive but did not call it.
13:41 Jason Snowfox during my 1996 trip
13:41 mab its good up close but hard to get
13:41 Rich My head was in need of a new swivel joint.
13:41 Bruce da Moose We had a couple of people ask about inducing an eruption, but we sirted the precise answers :-)
13:41 Jason Snowfox thankfully back then I didn't smoke, was 18, and could run without dying :P
13:42 Bruce da Moose Plate was the last geyser we saw when we left
13:43 Jason Snowfox Usually Clepsydria is the last one people see.. and the first to boot
13:43 Rich They were all spectacular
13:43 Jason Snowfox as far as UGB, Castle for me
13:43 Bruce da Moose I don't count Clepsydra - it's almots never off
13:43 Rich g
13:44 Jason Snowfox But usually the time you see it, it's that nice first whiff of sulfer to boot :D
13:44 Jason Snowfox That and I always seem to catch Flood
13:44 Bruce da Moose I agree. Flood, yepp, we caught that one too on the way in.
13:44 Rich Did get to watch a lot of Sawmill
13:44 Ryan When I first Got to YNP in July the first I saw was Fountain start off with a blue base at 700am!
13:44 Ryan Yeah Sawmill never got old for me.
13:44 Jason Snowfox Nice start to the week
13:45 Jason Snowfox I've never caught fountain
13:45 Jason Snowfox almost caught Silex in 96
13:45 Ryan Very steamy
13:45 Bruce da Moose Did not get to see Pink Cone this time, but did see Pink, and Narcissus twice.
13:45 mab Fountain is a fave of mine. Afternoon light.
13:45 Jason Snowfox Luckly I got to see Echninus before it's dormancy
13:45 Ryan I saw Vent#12 way past Fountain, nice 150ft geyser, this was in 203 i think
13:46 Bruce da Moose I think Fountain is a fave of everyone, I think.
13:46 mab My year isnt done yet, so I hope to see some more before Nov1
13:46 Jason Snowfox Morning would be nice to catch
13:46 Bruce da Moose Grumble grumble
13:46 Ryan Both of my Fountains were late or early day, very steamy not much water
13:46 Bruce da Moose ??? Not much water?
13:47 mab Mornings Thief has been nice this year.
13:47 Ryan The steam blocked it all...
13:47 Jason Snowfox ironically i've never seen F&M, Giant, Beehive, Fountain, or Great Fountain in person
13:47 Bruce da Moose Morn**** Thief has been great. Downside, none of the hisotric indicators are working. They seem to be disconnected
13:47 Jason Snowfox Is it still doing 50ft?
13:48 Bruce da Moose F&M and Giant are not easy to see.
13:48 Ryan So BdM wats UR best YNP memory
13:48 Ryan ? /:)
13:48 Bruce da Moose Fountian still bursts to well over 50 and somet9mes 70 feet
13:48 mab I have seen maybe 30-40 ft, but probably not 50. Thief if thats what you asked.
13:48 mab But you have to look fast.
13:48 Jason Snowfox Last reports I had read were theif occasonally to 50.. 30-40 is nice though
13:49 Bruce da Moose My best YNP memory is Giant, July 6 2007, with my family right there. No contest.
13:49 mab Yeah, its a bonus to Fountain.
13:49 Jason Snowfox *glares at bruce*
13:49 Bruce da Moose ???glares?
13:49 Ryan What about you Jason, wat ur bet YNP memory
13:49 mab No glaring, sounds great B.
13:49 Jason Snowfox Failed Giant eruption in 2001
13:49 Bruce da Moose What did *I* do?
13:49 Ryan haha
13:49 Ryan sry
13:49 Ryan Whats urs mab
13:50 Jason Snowfox 15 min hot period, mastiff restart to 20feet or so
13:50 Jason Snowfox ended with a nice 7 min + duration of Ghrotto Fountain
13:50 Jason Snowfox Giant erupted next day
13:50 Jason Snowfox after I was on a plane
13:50 mab Just being there is favorite. I have too many good memories. thats why I just up and moved closer
13:50 Ryan Wat ur best YNP memory R
13:50 Bruce da Moose caveat - that is just my best "geyser" memory. I have other good ones too...
13:52 Rich Sitting Thursday morning waiting for Beehive in the snow.
13:52 Bruce da Moose lol!
13:52 Ryan My best was a huge Blue Bubble doming Grands pool for an eruption start, after 4hrs of waiting
13:52 Bruce da Moose That was really fun in a warped sort of way
13:52 Rich After all the other gazer wander off, just me an Beehive.
13:52 Rich Neither one of us doing anything. g
13:52 Ryan I always thought that the was better than the eruption, g
13:53 Ryan wait
13:53 Rich But Sunday's eruption was beautiful, sun and very light wind.
13:53 Bruce da Moose Well, more work to do. Gotta go. Bye for now...
13:53 Rich later
13:54 Ryan c ya
13:54 Jason Snowfox the sucky part about my giant hot period was even turtle was going =/
13:54 Ryan Little Cub start 1454
13:54 Jason Snowfox Such a rush, but man, such a let down
13:55 Jason Snowfox First trip.. in 89 i'd have to say north goggle :)
13:55 Jason Snowfox 96 trip had a couple silver bullets at steamboat
13:55 Jason Snowfox really depends on the trip i suppose
13:55 Ryan Oooh
13:55 Jason Snowfox 94 not much I remember in the basins.
13:56 Jason Snowfox 94 I suppose would be some good Spa Geyser bursts
13:57 mab Spa is doing some big stuff this year Jason
13:57 Jason Snowfox but I always love sawmill, I can sit there for hours if needbe
13:58 Jason Snowfox i always like Spa, looks so under-rated just walking past
13:58 Jason Snowfox Hoping giant wakes back up, I need a good hot period or two to get the blood stirring
13:58 Jason Snowfox Saw more daisy eruptions than I could count waiting for it last trip :P
13:59 mab For the oddball stuff, South Purple Pools was a highlight of mine.
13:59 mab And all of us RUNNING from Grand to get down there was pretty entertaining too
13:59 Jason Snowfox and of course, the one good T-storm that went through didn't impact splended at all
14:00 Jason Snowfox that's a long run with no air :P
14:01 Jason Snowfox Solitary is pretty neat if no one else is around
14:01 Jason Snowfox West thumb is always cold and no action. At best i see Twin Geysers boiling but that's it
14:02 mab Lone Pine is fantastic if you can catch it.
14:02 Jason Snowfox Norris is just a crapshoot :P
14:03 Rich Bruce and I saw 3 'conewalkers' there along the road at West Thumb
14:03 mab Hillside was great a few years back too.
14:03 mab West Thumb has its moments.
14:03 Rich I've forgotten names right now.
14:03 Rich Was the narrow strip of thermal features along the road.
14:04 Jason Snowfox Thats always been active when I've driven past it
14:04 Jason Snowfox little 1-2 feeters
14:04 Jason Snowfox Never have caught lone pine, but I don't stick there for long
14:06 Ryan Is there any "waiting for geysers" at Norris or does it juss have to be coincidental?
14:06 Ryan Plume 1506
14:07 Rich I remember waiting for a couple south of the parking lot.
14:07 Ryan at Norris?
14:07 Jason Snowfox Veteran I suppose
14:07 Jason Snowfox maybe Vixen
14:07 Rich Seems to me there was a time posted.
14:07 Jason Snowfox Echinus used to be predictable
14:07 Rich This was back in the late 80's
14:07 Ryan Nothin big anymore tho (Steamboat is unpredictale?)
14:07 Jason Snowfox Ledge perhaps?
14:08 Rich I might be able to locate on a map, not sure if I remember enough of the board walk tho.
14:08 Jason Snowfox Most are just pure luck, especially with the decline in activity
14:08 Jason Snowfox Norris really does need a good earthquake
14:08 Rich Clean out the pipes.
14:09 Ryan Jason, I have a funny story from YNP, i already told R, tell me wat u think...
14:09 Jason Snowfox Yeah, all that Clay and Sinter :(
14:10 Jason Snowfox go for it Ryan
14:10 Ryan We, me and my family were waiting out the rain at OF Inn just after BH
14:10 Ryan And Pap says to me: "Ryan can we all go and get a sandwhich at the van first?"
14:11 Ryan I say: "Ok but make it fast Grands window is HALF WAY over."
14:11 Ryan We had Gram and three kids
14:11 Ryan So everyone gets there sandwhich and there eating, slowly
14:12 Ryan Its clawing at my insides till I say, "Come on guys eat faster or walk and eat."
14:12 Ryan Then I her on the Radio: "Waves on Grand..."
14:12 Ryan Ryan: "RUN AND EAT! YES I SAID TO RUN AND EAT!!!"
14:13 Ryan Radio: "Woohoo! Grand 1545! Grand 1-5-4-5!"
14:13 Ryan Ryan: "PAP WHOS IDEA WAS IT TO EAT FIRST!?!? I MEAN WHO REALLY NEEDS FOOD!?!?"
14:14 Jason Snowfox See, I solved that problem :)
14:14 Ryan I sprinted from the OF parking lot (wayy in the back) to Castle and watched it from there
14:14 Jason Snowfox Backpack stuffed with homemade beef jerky and water
14:14 Ryan Haha
14:14 Jason Snowfox never have to have a breakfast, lunch, or dinner break
14:14 Ryan nope
14:14 Jason Snowfox I'm serious, my pack last time was filled with jerky =)
14:14 mab Rich maybe Occasional Geyser? Does that ring a bell?
14:15 mab Talking West Thumb here, and where you saw the people
14:15 Ryan Of course give me clothes water and minial food and Ill sleep at Giant or F&M
14:17 Jason Snowfox speaking of that, I need to find some steak on sale to make more jerky
14:19 Rich Lone Pine does
14:20 Rich Two geysers about 20 feet apart
14:20 Rich The sapling fence is just south of them.
14:21 Rich Fairly narrow pull off.
14:22 Rich The left hand (north) one is about 2.5 - 3 feet diameter.
14:24 mab do I see anything?
14:25 mab yep

14:32 mab I saw it around 1524 or 25, so 6 minutes. Better than 3 or none!
14:32 Ryan Yeah really!
14:34 Ryan Have you noticed that BH and OF go often within like 10mins or less of each other
14:35 mab K, I am gone. I logged in to be sure you saw the conewalkers.
14:37 Ryan Nice bh, well im going for the night well might get l8ter cya

15:04 Bruce da Moose Wanted to mention - While I was sitting watching F&M the other day, I noticed what I thought were Link minors. Just verifed that what I saw were (almots certainly) Link minors.
15:05 Rich cool
15:05 Rich Poles are on their way to vw.
15:06 Bruce da Moose Link minor = small bursting to a couple of feet, maybe up to ten or 12, and copious outflow of water spilling down the channle into the river.

15:13 Loisb since no one would pick me up - sob sob
15:14 Jason Snowfox i'm so tempted to drive up there Saturday from denver.. you have no idea the urge
15:15 Bruce da Moose You guys are in the cold part of the polar front that steered the typhoon to us. We are just now getting the cold front; it pushed out the warm mass that you never got in Seattle.

15:20 Loisb you can hike home instead of driving with the idiots
15:21 Jason Snowfox Bruce: in-law trip is why.. if I evacuate the area they'll think I hate them

15:23 Bruce da Moose They will immediately see it for what it is!
15:23 Jason Snowfox cept they are chinese, and don't speak a lick of english, and the reason we're going is so they can see baby the first time :P
15:24 Bruce da Moose Well, I guess I have no response for that. I am cultural dufus.
15:24 Bruce da Moose THE cultural dufus

15:49 sparekitty we'll only be there two days and i hope she's available.
15:49 Rich I was surprised that she got to stay overnight.
15:50 Rich She is very nice.
15:50 sparekitty i will agree wholeheartedly! she made a call to someone at the school for my kid. turns out she knows somebody fairly high up the college food chain.
15:51 Rich We all waited for Beehive on Wednesday from about 11:30 am till it erupted at 15:32 and then Bruce and I were out at Beehive on Thursday morning at 06:00 zero temp blowing wind
15:51 Rich Were joined by cb/bill and Kent for a while then it started snowing and blowing horizontal snow.
15:51 Graham hum...how do you like winter season?
15:52 Rich The gazers started wandering off, finally I was sitting wondering where did they all go.
15:52 Graham haha..all at the Inn drinking hot chocolate or something warmer?
15:52 Rich About 12 Bruce came back and drug me off to see a Great Fountain. lol
15:52 Rich I liked it, much different than the summer visits.
15:53 Rich And me sitting out there watching a hole in the ground. g

16:09 Rich 3 river otters playing at Mary mountain
16:10 Rich A bald eagle
16:10 Graham vw says you all abandoned her in the basin to go wildlife watching
16:10 Rich Had a couple of pet mice in the room.
16:10 Graham the mice are always welcome in the Inn
16:10 Rich lol
16:10 Rich Guess we must have, didn't know we had abandoned her. Sure would have liked her along.
16:11 Rich Talked with Lynn at Grand for a while
16:11 Rich Got to call Grand and Beehive
16:11 Rich Had a frozen Hot breakfast at the Inn dining room.
16:12 Graham frozen hot huh?
16:12 Rich It was hot at the buffet and by the time I got to the table, the syrup wouldn't run.
16:13 Rich We were dressed warm, so they 'seated' us in the back room.
16:13 Rich They only had one fireplace in the lobby going the whole time we were there.
16:14 Rich Saturday morning someone should have built all the fires up.
16:14 Rich Starting about 5 am.
16:14 Graham the snow lodge is nicely insulated for the winter you know?
16:14 Rich Yes but didn't have a room for all the nights we were there.
16:15 Rich Would have had to bed hop a couple of times.
16:15 Niigel any chicks?
16:16 Rich  
http://www.nps.gov/archive/yell/oldfaithfulcam.htm
This is a link to the webcams we are watching. We are watching the geysers in Yellowstone National Park.
16:16 Rich I'm out of practice
16:16 Rich That was to slow.
16:16 Graham bed hopping probably got him excited
16:16 Loisb got to paste it somewhere so you can do a copy/paste
16:17 Rich I have a whole speech, just wasn't ready.
16:17 Loisb g
16:17 Rich lol
16:17 Graham so what was the most memorable part of your trip Rich?
16:17 Rich I still don't think I know how to get from the Inn to the snow lodge.
16:18 Rich The roads are very convoluted.
16:19 Rich There was still a little smoke at Arnica fire area
16:19 Graham You walk out the back and across the street
16:20 Rich Yes, but still don't know what direction that is.
16:20 Graham the road loop is rather strange, they are supposed to do something about it, just in the study stage now tho
16:20 Graham past the Bear Den.....behind the fireplace, out the door and you can see the SNow Lodge
16:22 Rich Refresh on the static.
16:22 Rich yep
16:23 Rich I found it several times, just not sure which direction I was headed.
16:23 Loisb static cam is back
16:25 Rich Hi guest109679
16:25 Graham streaming is back too
16:25 Rich yeah
16:25 Graham hum, whats goig to erupt
16:26 Loisb looks like OF is past for now - next says 618
16:26 Rich Looks like Grotto
16:27 Rich Lion probably went while we were blind
16:27 Graham yep Rich. did you have to re-orient for viewing over the cam when you got home RIch?
16:28 Rich Sure feels like I'm looking down the telescope from the wrong end. lol
16:28 Rich Everything is so tiny. g
16:29 Rich Learning about F&M was great, got to id the different vents, so at least I know which is which now.
16:29 Graham yeah its tough when you get back
16:30 Graham ok. did Lynn teach you?
16:30 Rich Only was around Lynn at Grand and Beehive, she had come to Grand from F&M
16:30 Rich Bruce was a great fount of information.
16:31 Rich Think I have Turgan cycles part way figured.
16:31 Rich I tried to record times of starts and ends of Turban and also the water run off at the benches
16:31 Graham i bet Bruce was a great guide
16:31 Rich Finally got it together
16:31 Rich He is.
16:32 Rich Has patiences like you do.
16:32 Graham yeah. how were you in spotting waves?
16:32 Rich That was harder, lots of steam
16:32 Rich I did see the water pulse up and down.
16:33 Rich And I believe I saw the motion of Turban that gave it it's name.
16:33 Graham yeah they are hard to see in the cold. Pretty east to see Grant tho, or listen if its just a big steam cloud
16:35 Rich The listening was very helpful at Fountain.
16:35 Rich I heard the meter burst and then the eruption. was a P2
16:35 Graham yeah it can be steamy. did it get you wet?
16:35 Rich Was easy in hind sight.
16:35 Graham oh, you mean Great Fountain
16:35 Rich No, Bruce called me out of the way. lol
16:36 Rich Firehole
16:36 Graham yeah. Fountain is by the Paint Pots
16:36 Rich isn't that fountain? or do I have them backwards.
16:36 Rich k
16:36 Graham Great Fountain has the meter boin on Firehole Lake Drive
16:37 Rich Ok, then I have them backwards.
16:37 Rich Didn't see much at Fountain, just lots of steam.
16:37 Rich Caught up with cb/bill at Fountain.
16:38 Rich We got one guy hooked on geysers there.
16:38 Graham always good to hook people. but Fountain didn't erupt?
16:38 Rich He and the missus were about to walk on when everyone requested they stay as Fountain was erupting.
16:38 Graham haha
16:38 Rich He just got this silly grin and smiled the whole time.
16:39 Rich Ran into him later at Great Fountain and he was definitely hooked then.
16:39 Rich Sunset eruption.
16:39 Graham ah, those are nice.
16:39 Graham I don't see the pictures yet...
16:40 Loisb and they have been back for hours
16:40 Rich cb, Bruce and I hiked out to narcissus, got there and it was full, started boiling a little and then went into a long.
16:41 Rich I know, still in my camera, have old card reader that won't read the hi capacity new cards. Have to install drivers to direct connect camera and do a dump.
16:41 Rich Either later tonight or in the morning.
16:41 Rich Hope to get a couple up in the morning anyway.
16:41 Rich First place Bruce and I stopped was at Mesa Falls. That is really nice.
16:42 Graham wheres that Rich?
16:42 Rich Frost and snow on the plants, took some macros of coneflowers with frost on them.
16:43 Rich Mesa Falls is west of West one entrance is at Ashton I think.
16:44 Rich Comes out west of West Y along the Herriman Ranch
16:44 Graham ok
16:44 Graham never been there
16:44 Rich Nice drive and two viewing areas for the falls
16:45 Rich The northern area is a fee area to park

October 14th, 2009

06:09 vw Good morning CC
06:10 vw is that just steam at Giantess?
06:10 CC I was wondering the same thing
06:11 vw spike on seismo
06:11 CC I can't zoom in yet because it is still dark and the steam will make the picture blurry
06:11 CC here is a better view
06:12 CC Lion 7:12
06:13 vw I think we might have some water in there!
06:13 CC me too
06:14 CC I do think Giantess went during the night
06:14 CC too much steam and very high
06:16 vw too much steam from OF on static to tell
06:16 CC I am looking at the steaming and not the static
06:16 CC streaming
06:17 vw i have both up
06:17 Frostbite Phil hi vw
06:18 CC frostbite about the PM
06:18 vw HI Frostbite! how you doing?
06:18 Frostbite Phil good
06:18 Frostbite Phil no...not giatess!!! not now
06:18 CC you can clearly see Giantess not
06:18 vw definitely some small spikes of water out there
06:19 CC Giantess NOW
06:19 vw yeah, Phil, timings kinda sad
06:20 Frostbite Phil its 3 days late
06:21 vw might explain our reluctant BH too.
06:21 Frostbite Phil oh good point
06:23 Frostbite Phil how long until vault??
06:23 cb Goodmorning all
06:25 vw good morning cb!
06:25 vw if this is a real Giantess, vault wont start for hours.
06:25 CC I continue to see water at Giantess
06:25 vw seismo spike was at 07:02ish. too dark on cam to really see.
06:26 vw same here.
06:26 CC 7:26 OF
06:27 vw ok. i have never REALLY meant this before but....i sure wish of would shut off! a short would be nice~!
06:28 Frostbite Phil i told you giantess was due didnt I cb

06:30 cb just reaching for my first cuppa....
06:31 vw hmmmm. if i left now....
06:33 vw static is frozen.
06:33 cb ok first sips of coffee are the best! Couldn't drink any for the past couple of days. Drank to much on the drive home. made me sick!
06:33 vw that is terrible!
06:34 cb FBP.....you have a good point about BH's activity of late
06:35 vw static back, but too much steam
06:35 CC you can see it on the streaming
06:35 vw yeap
06:36 cb look at that!!!
06:37 vw seismo showed some very small waves starting at about 0448 until 0512 this am. then a good spike at 0702. pretty flat since. doesn't look like the July eruption.
06:39 vw  
http://www.seis.utah.edu/helicorder/heli/yellowsto…
06:42 cb I was just looking for that graph vw. came back to see if you could post it and .....walla! there it is
06:45 vw I am never faithful that my links will work!
06:45 CC nice view now on the cam
06:46 cb look at those spikes
06:46 CC yep
06:46 vw was gonna head into the office early. think i might work from home for a while. luckily brought stuff with me last night!
06:48 vw we need a wind shift
06:49 cb just called Lynn. I think she might be going home today
06:52 vw ahh, color in the basin!
06:53 cb yes! Rotten timing!
06:54 vw wudda been nice if it had gone about 3 or 4 days ago, but cool no matter when.
06:54 vw if i didnt have court in the morning i would definitly go. would love to see this in person.
06:55 cb Me too!!!
06:55 cb interesting spike on the seis. graph
06:58 cb Nice the wind shifted!
06:59 cb Hey Bruce!
06:59 vw Hi Bruce!
06:59 Bruce da Moose Hell, cb, CC, Jason & vw!
06:59 CC hi b
06:59 Bruce da Moose Hi, Guest395062
06:59 vw timing of Giantess a little off, wouldnt you say?
07:00 Bruce da Moose It's erupting! Dangit!
07:00 Bruce da Moose aaaaaarrrgghhh
07:00 cb Dangnapit!!!!!
07:00 Bruce da Moose Wish I at least had the stream...
07:01 Bruce da Moose Rich will be disappointed....
07:01 vw questions for anyone who has been there when Giantess has erupted, or seen it here from the start: is this a typical start?
07:01 Bruce da Moose What time did it happen?
07:01 vw was starting about the same time the cam could even focus on it right after 0700
07:02 Bruce da Moose Can someone post a seismograph link?
07:02 CC I have seen the start twice but because it was dark cannot say
07:02 cb vw posted the seis. graph here
07:02 vw thanks CC
07:02 CC it actually looked to me like it was going while it was dark
07:02 cb WOW!!! spikes over the tree line
07:03 vw i think i can, i think i can
07:03 Bruce da Moose Started 0602, looks like
07:03 vw B - seismo is an hour off too. 0702
07:03 Bruce da Moose Thanks, vw
07:03 vw np
07:03 cb Hi Derek
07:04 vw ever since July eruption, checking seismo is part of my morning routine!
07:04 Bruce da Moose So the durned thing waits until practically everyone has left and THEN erupts...
07:04 cb Shy
07:04 vw fickle lady
07:04 Bruce da Moose Vile vixen
07:04 vw sweet princess
07:04 Bruce da Moose Hiya Derek
07:05 vw Hi D
07:05 cb feel like I need to get dressed into my longjohns and raingear just to watch
07:05 vw :D
07:05 vw even i can't shake the cold. took a VERY hot bath last night!
07:06 cb ME TOO!!!
07:06 vw our temps finally getting back close to normal today. will feel toasty!
07:06 cb Then had to open a window a bit to get some cool air
07:06 Derek Hi All
07:07 cb me thinks we'll have a full room today!
07:07 Bruce da Moose So I guess the seismograph indicates MST intsead of MDT
07:07 vw few people on sidewalk by OF. my question to them: why are they just standing THERE?!?!?!
07:07 Bruce da Moose They don;t know.
07:07 Bruce da Moose They have no idea about the seize or rarity of that geyser.
07:07 Derek How long has Giantess been going?
07:07 Bruce da Moose 1 hour
07:08 vw B - just think they don't reset to DST. U of Utah equipment so should be on MST or MDT
07:08 CC I saw it at 7
07:08 vw nice picture on static. low dense steam
07:08 CC at least what I thought was heavy steam
07:09 vw yeah, I have been here almost exactly 1 hour and saw when i got on
07:09 Bruce da Moose The spike was at 0702 MST, so...
07:10 vw I sure hope Cathy Bell is out doing her walkabout
07:10 Bruce da Moose Wait - a miscalculation on my part. Would have seen 0502 MST
07:10 vw nope B. 0702 MDT
07:10 Bruce da Moose What time frame does the seismograph use?
07:11 vw each horizontal line is 15 minutes, each vertical 1 minute
07:11 Bruce da Moose IT uses MST - OK, then I retract my retraction. Sorry, guys.
07:12 CC just talked to the VC and they didn't realize Giantess was going
07:12 cb no way....
07:12 Bruce da Moose !!!
07:12 vw glad you called then!
07:12 Bruce da Moose PLUME too now
07:12 Derek Didn't they feel the building shake?
07:12 vw :)
07:12 CC not taking the cam off Giantess
07:12 vw thank you!
07:13 cb Good!! ty
07:13 vw hmmmm. wonder how my computer would fare in the bathroom during a shower....dont want to take my eyes off!
07:13 cb Nice the steam from OF has dimished
07:13 cb 4 now
07:13 vw get out the cork!
07:13 cb lol
07:14 cb I was suppose to be at a mtg this am....opps
07:15 cb oh no....cam has stopped
07:15 Derek Keeps freezing here too
07:15 cb anyone else get freeze frame shots
07:15 cb there
07:16 CC seems to be working okay for me
07:16 vw working here
07:16 Derek I'm getting occasional freezes
07:16 cb yep me too
07:19 Bruce da Moose So, folks with the stream - is it cool?
07:19 vw it is B, but still working at getting a full head.
07:20 vw shots on static aren't bad. have both up.
07:20 CC have a meeting...see ya
07:20 vw bye CC
07:20 Bruce da Moose Hmmm - I almost think Giantess needs to lose some water before she reaches full height. Bye CC!
07:21 Bruce da Moose on my screen, the static looks like a white fungus pasted againts the forest.
07:24 Derek Is the wind likely to change?
07:25 Bruce da Moose Right now it looks like a gentle - moderate NW wind, typical for the region - so probably not.
07:26 Derek It's strong enough to make the cam tree sway
07:26 Loisb Morning all
07:26 Bruce da Moose OK - I was going by the steam banners. maybe storng wind!
07:26 Bruce da Moose Hi, Lois - call your brother!
07:26 Derek Hi Lois
07:26 Bruce da Moose Or I will -
07:26 Loisb tried to wake him earlier
07:27 Loisb call him on his cell - probably didn't hear me
07:27 Loisb this is the time when I wish I had dsl
07:28 Derek And I want to know why Rich never predicted this Giantess eruption LOL
07:28 Loisb funny you should say that Dereck - I told my middle son just yesterday that I thought it was time for giantess
07:29 Bruce da Moose I was thinking just that over the weekend - after those boils a week back, it seemed about right time...
07:29 Loisb yep
07:29 Loisb and the shake this morning - wish I could look at my first OF captures from today and see if
07:29 Loisb I could see it then
07:31 Bruce da Moose Shake was at 0602 MST per seismograph
07:31 Loisb yep
07:31 Loisb I looked at it right after i did my morning peek at OF
07:33 Bruce da Moose Loisb, your brother must have been up late last night... :-)
07:33 Loisb he was really tired i know
07:33 Bruce da Moose What's his neighbor's number? Maybe she can pry him up...
07:34 Loisb do you have the landline?
07:34 Bruce da Moose Whose? Rich's? I have a number, but don;t know whether it is cell or land
07:34 Loisb cell is 404
07:35 Bruce da Moose that is what i have
07:39 sparekitty am i watching giantess then?
07:39 Loisb he might have it on the charger
07:39 Loisb yes
07:39 Loisb you sure are
07:39 Loisb morning
07:39 cb yep
07:39 sparekitty wow, my first! how exciting.
07:39 sparekitty and i'm not even at worktoday. i'm going to disneyland!
07:39 vw hi sparekitty
07:39 sparekitty hey vw! how's it going?
07:39 Bruce da Moose Hi, sparekitty! Isn;t t6his better than Disneyland?
07:39 vw disneyland will still be there next week?
07:40 vw well thank you! isn't this cool!
07:40 sparekitty it's good bruce, but NOTHING is better than disneyland with only ONE kid.
07:40 vw :)
07:40 Bruce da Moose We'll just have to agree to disagree on THAT one...
07:40 Bruce da Moose ;-)\
07:40 Loisb for sure
07:40 sparekitty you anti-kid, bruce?
07:41 Bruce da Moose I LOVE kids! Took Nick to Disneyland a few times. I;d take a whol;e flock of them.
07:41 sparekitty taking both kids at the same time guarentees conflict; one kid at a time is great. i'm taking the 17 year old today.
07:41 Loisb I lived in San Diego for years and never went
07:41 Loisb but I have been to Epcot - twice
07:41 Bruce da Moose But I;d rather take them to Yellowstone.
07:41 vw more minor bumps on seismograph
07:41 sparekitty disneyland is my FAVORITE california vacation spot.
07:41 Bruce da Moose Unless I am reading him totally worng, Nick would rather go to YNP too.
07:42 sparekitty the best thing about today is that it's RAINING. that means fewer people!
07:42 Bruce da Moose Wow! Look at the gang here now! Hi, Allan!
07:42 vw person out on the boardwalk
07:42 Loisb Hi Allan welcome to the Giantess watch center
07:43 vw Hi Allan!
07:43 Derek cb is taking the cam while I go help Beryl
07:43 Loisb k
07:43 vw V in the classroom today?
07:43 vw hb D!
07:43 Loisb that looked like real water just now
07:43 vw yeah!
07:43 Allan Yes, I'm talking to her right now about Giaantess
07:43 sparekitty wow, how cool!
07:44 vw maybe she could arrange cam in the classroom and turn it into a learning opportunity?
07:44 Loisb wouldn't that be great
07:45 vw chaos theory, random geometry...
07:45 Loisb geology
07:45 vw gotta think math LoisB
07:46 Allan It would be great if she could. She teaches statistics and brings in th egeysers as illustrations.
07:47 Allan I wasn't going to visit the chat page this am
07:48 Allan Was going to study some Fourier analysis. But had an urge to check what was happening...
07:48 vw glad you did come here
07:48 Allan I sure am
07:48 Loisb good day to drop by
07:48 Allan Darned right
07:49 cb Thats Lynn up on the boardwalk.
07:49 Bruce da Moose Lucky Lynn - again
07:49 vw so hard to tell in the steam!
07:49 vw couple of people out there.
07:49 Allan Last night I read an article to be published in next Transactions.
07:49 Bruce da Moose Did you write it?
07:49 Allan The author saw Giantess in 1883.
07:50 Loisb oh my
07:50 Bruce da Moose Wow! i guess you didn;t write it!
07:50 sparekitty for the sput?
07:50 Allan He went up to look into it when it paused
07:50 Bruce da Moose A brave soul
07:50 vw was just gonna say that!
07:50 Allan He got minor burns when it re-erupted.
07:50 Bruce da Moose Transactions = scholarly tome every couple of years publsihed by GOSA
07:51 Allan It's a translation from a book published in French.
07:51 sparekitty i get the sput a couple of times per year...is transactions a compliation?
07:51 Allan It was submitted to the Transactions, sparekitty.
07:52 Allan Transactions is for research articles and longer essays.
07:52 Allan All the articles are reviewed for accuracy, etc.
07:53 Allan V publishes her articles on the statistics of Grand, Turban, West Triplett, and Rift there.
07:53 Allan Transactions comes out roughly every year to 18 months
07:53 sparekitty so how long should this giantess last?
07:54 Loisb it was over a day last time wasn't it?
07:54 sparekitty i had no idea
07:54 Bruce da Moose If history is an indication, it should be visible through the day today anyway
07:54 Allan I think Giantess can last 12 to 24 hours.
07:54 Bruce da Moose Can be up to 48 hours
07:54 Allan At least it used to
07:54 Bruce da Moose Yeah, awhile ago.
07:54 Allan That long, Bruce?
07:55 Loisb I got captures last time for two different days but not sure how many hours it went
07:55 Bruce da Moose I think in arre cases, but usually closere to the timeframe you mention
07:55 cb hoping to see Vault soon!
07:55 Bruce da Moose Vault is about 4 hours in?
07:55 Allan Anyone know when it started??
07:56 Bruce da Moose tremor was at 0602 MST
07:56 cb CC saw it when it was light enough for visual on the cam
07:56 Loisb I think there was steam before it was really light
07:57 Allan Didn't the last one start in the early morining as well?
07:58 Loisb but it was almost summer and was visiable
07:58 Allan Okay, then I'm thinking of a previous one.
07:58 Loisb I didn't know what it was then but liked it and did captures
07:59 Bruce da Moose They have been started near midnight or the wee hours
07:59 Allan Darned OF
07:59 Loisb g
07:59 vw OF 0858 ie
08:03 Loisb wish the static cam pointed just a tad more to the right
08:03 Loisb for now anyhow
08:11 vw i just froze big time. anyone else?
08:12 Loisb I been freezing on and off all morning -
08:16 vw that sun is going to allow to really see water now
08:16 Loisb hope
08:24 vw ahhhh. can feel the warmth.
08:24 vw if only the sun would stay in play!
08:25 cb Nice sunshine on Giant. Was just doing some reading on Vault to refresh my fading memory! Scotts book states that Vault commonlybegins to play 6 hours after Giantess starts
08:25 cb Thats a quote from his book. didn't want to put the guote marks in. but did want to give it its due
08:26 vw so we could expect to see Vault some time between 1100 and 1300? something to watch for!
08:26 vw the problem is we really don't have a good start time here.
08:27 vw does Scott time frame start from when we first see water?
08:27 vw guess i should pull out my TSB!
08:27 cb from start of eruption...overflow ofwater
08:28 Loisb seems to me that using the time of the gound shake would be usuable
08:28 vw k. thanks!
08:29 Jason Snowfox uh
08:29 Jason Snowfox That sure doesn't look like sawmill
08:29 vw :D
08:29 vw its not spinning Jason!
08:30 Jason Snowfox lol
08:30 Jason Snowfox The funny thing was, I was going to say the way beehive's indicator has been been giantess would be soon
08:30 Jason Snowfox when did she start?
08:31 vw we think sometime around 0700
08:31 vw too dark on cam to really see, but CC said she thought she saw steam
08:32 Jason Snowfox siesmo's too
08:33 vw yeap
08:33 Jason Snowfox prolly 700ish then for start time
08:33 Jason Snowfox anyone let graham know yet?
08:33 Loisb I don't have any way to reach him
08:34 sparekitty doesn't graham facebook?
08:34 Jason Snowfox gonna post on his facebook wall then
08:34 Loisb k
08:35 Jason Snowfox k, posted on his wall
08:38 sparekitty later, folks! time to head to the big D!! #1 daughter is chomping at the bit.
08:38 vw have fun sparekitty!
08:39 Loisb oops missed her
08:40 Jason Snowfox why couldn't it have waited... 3 days? I could have used that to justify the drive to Of from denver this weekend :P
08:41 Loisb maybe a long weekend?
08:41 vw Went back and looked at the seismograph chart that Pat S posted to the listserve on July 6. That chart did not have the big burst of activity that we saw this am on the graph at 0702
08:41 Loisb humm
08:42 Allan vw, what's the link to the seismo page?
08:43 vw  
http://www.seis.utah.edu/helicorder/heli/yellowsto…
08:43 Allan Thank you
08:43 vw but A, i don't know how to get to the older stuff. I just went back to my old emails to look at Pat S posting
08:44 vw there is probably a way but i am just too lazy and/or stupid to figure it out!
08:45 vw try this: http://mail.google.com/mail/?ui=2&ik=3530ea4c04&view=att&th=12250b32e9e8a5bf&attid=0.1&disp=inline&realattid=f_fwt8y71z0&zw
08:45 Allan I'll ask V if she knows.
08:45 Jason Snowfox havn't gotten a geyser list email on it yet
08:46 vw sorry. that last one wont work
08:46 vw my bad
08:52 Loisb is that water back there?
08:53 Jason Snowfox some water yeah
08:53 vw yes LoisB. on ground too
08:53 Loisb yeah
08:54 vw LoisB - I am thinking some g-ma time might be called for so you can watch this on stream with dsl!
08:54 Loisb actually I am headed over there in about 45
08:54 vw good! any luck getting ahold of Rich?
08:54 Loisb going to try and capture the streaming cam if I can figure out how
08:55 Loisb Bruce finally got hold of him - they have no power
08:55 Loisb trees down
08:55 vw oh no.
08:55 Allan That's terrible!!!
08:55 vw are we confident it is not another one of Richs trees?
08:56 Loisb should have told him to go to the library as soon as they open - maybe he'll think of it if the power isn't back on soon
08:56 Bruce da Moose Rich is OK - just has no PC access this morning
08:59 Derek Have I missed the steam phase?
09:00 Derek This doesn't seem like the last eruption
09:00 Bruce da Moose Looks like the steam phase now
09:00 cb Vault?
09:00 Derek Aurum
09:00 Derek to the left
09:01 vw this is not at all like last eruption. we are not seeing a water column like in July.
09:01 vw unless it was during the night, but even then we saw water for a while in July
09:01 Jason Snowfox hopefully it's not an aborted one
09:01 Jason Snowfox maybe it'll revert back into water?
09:02 vw there was some activity on the seismograph about 04:49 that looks more like the July one.
09:03 Loisb I didn't look back that far - good catch
09:03 Bruce da Moose Giantess can have several "bursts" that come back again. Patience!
09:03 Bruce da Moose Good catch vw. So an earlier start than 0602
09:04 vw Ralph T responded to a Pat S email July 6. Said start at 0713, continuing at 1330
09:05 Jason Snowfox There's the email
09:06 Bruce da Moose I already posted a note to the listserve, probably one of many.
09:06 vw thanks Jason. going there now.
09:06 Jason Snowfox Pat S's just came through to me
09:06 vw not in my inbox yet!
09:06 Jason Snowfox about possible Giantess eruption
09:06 Bruce da Moose Not in mine yet either
09:07 Jason Snowfox "This morning when it became light on the still webcam there were what appeared to be spikes of water coming from Giantess
09:07 Jason Snowfox So I am thinking giantess may have erupted sometime overnight from 10.13.09 to before 0600 on 10.14.09
09:07 Jason Snowfox eom
09:08 cb I just got it....pushed back work till noon!.
09:08 vw good for you!
09:08 Bruce da Moose Got it :-)
09:09 Jason Snowfox still water going
09:09 Jason Snowfox That's water there
09:09 vw for anyone checking the U of Utah seismograph data link that has been posted here today, please note that the time on those charts are mountain standard time. Big spike that reads at approx 06:02 was actually at 07:02 MDT
09:10 Allan ty
09:10 vw or read it as pacific daylight time. whichever rings your bell!
09:10 Bruce da Moose Rings your bell :-D
09:11 vw just wish Giantess had set off our alarms!
09:11 Bruce da Moose Love the subtle metaphor :-)
09:11 Loisb OF 1010
09:11 Bruce da Moose OF, in the way as usual!
09:11 vw we can tell from the steam LoisB!
09:12 Loisb can you?
09:12 Bruce da Moose I thought it was a conewalker spontaneously combusting
09:14 Jason Snowfox We could attach sharks with frickin lazer beams for conewalkers
09:14 vw :D
09:15 Bruce da Moose land sharks
09:16 vw once again i will show my ignorance, but.... has anybody ever run a sideby side of the cam with the progression of the seismograph? would be interesting to see how spikes in activity might = spikes on graph
09:16 Allan That's a good idea, vw
09:16 vw why don't you get V on it right away A!
09:19 bernystheman22 cam anyone??
09:19 bernystheman22 pm me
09:19 vw where is Rich when you need him?
09:20 Jason Snowfox didn't he miss the last Giantess eruption too?
09:20 Dave M Hi all
09:20 Dave M I was just reading through the chat log
09:20 Jason Snowfox Top of the morning Dave
09:20 vw Hi Dave M
09:21 Loisb think he saw most of it back then but he did sleep in that morning as I recall
09:21 Loisb am sure he'll be on here just as soon as he gets power
09:22 Derek Old Faithful loves to steal the scene
09:23 Dave M Was there a conclusion on the Giantess start time? My reading of teh seismograph puts the probable time at around 0448.
09:24 vw I think so too Dave, comparing this seismo data with the stuff Pat S got in July
09:24 Derek I saw the start of the July eruption and that apeared much livelier
09:24 Loisb right now we just guess and hope
09:25 Dave M This seismograph reading looks pretty weak but Giantess is highly variable.
09:25 vw But if around 0448, shouldnt we have seen some action from Vault by now?
09:25 Derek Maybe it was hidden by the Giantess steam
09:26 vw or OF steam. it has been heavy all morning
09:26 Dave M Yes, I'd have expected to see something from vault by now but with all the steam it could be missed.
09:27 Derek There was an Aurum a while ago
09:27 vw Lynn S is or was on the ground a little while ago. she might have more info
09:27 vw might???? WILL have more info
09:28 Dave M On anotehr subject, any news of yesterday's cone walkers?
09:29 Derek CC did call the law inforcement
09:29 vw not that has shown here D
09:29 Dave M They were quite brazen but didn't appear to be as destructive as the May group.
09:32 Dave M I hope Vault cooperates for you all. Have a good day.
09:34 Loisb bye Day
09:40 Loisb time for me to head out to be a grandma - will get back if I can
09:40 Loisb enjoy
09:40 Loisb bye
09:48 vw lotsa new activity on seismograph.
09:49 Derek Must be my stomach rumbing
09:49 vw :D
09:50 vw I have to relocate. billable hours and all that. be back from the office in just a bit.
10:07 cb lost power...
10:40 vw stop/starts again. anybody else?
10:42 offdafizee hey all
10:42 offdafizee anyone home?
10:56 BruceJ BEEHIVE 1157
10:57 BruceJ Actually BEEHIVE may have begun at 1155. It appears to be slightly shorter than usual.
10:58 CC thanks Bruce
10:58 BruceJ You betcha!
10:58 CC my camera keeps freezing
10:59 BruceJ Just like mine ;-)
10:59 BruceJ (static cam)
10:59 CC probably alot of folks on watching Giantess
10:59 BruceJ The streaming cam has bene problematic of late anyway, correct?
10:59 CC mine is streaming that is freezing
10:59 BruceJ Understood
11:00 BruceJ Well, this proves that BH and Giantess can erupt simultaneously in 2009
11:00 CC i thought they had corrected the streaming problem
11:01 BruceJ Could be. I usually cannot see it, so all I can go on is the chatter I hear, whcih si variable.
11:01 CC Today has been a great day on the cam for me
11:01 BruceJ Glad to hear it :-)
11:01 CC I love it when things are happening
11:02 BruceJ mutually agreed
11:02 BruceJ Now it's Giant's turn
11:02 CC sounds good
11:02 BruceJ ...and maybe a Splendid for good measure
11:02 Bookworm You dream in technicolor, too, right? *grin*
11:02 CC Graham would love that
11:03 BruceJ 3-D Technicolor!
11:03 BruceJ 3-strip process
11:04 BruceJ Holographic immersion
11:04 BruceJ I want Giant back :'(
11:06 BruceJ Weeellll - gotta go again. later folks!
11:13 Jason Snowfox Technicolor? no.. Cinemascope :D
11:13 Jason Snowfox Sometimes VistaVision!
11:15 Bookworm *chuckle*
11:16 Bookworm Drat. I forgot I have a meeting this afternoon. *waves*
11:27 Rich I finally made it online
11:27 Rich And Derek I if you read back in the log about 3 wks ago I did mention Giantess.
11:32 Rich Was in a conversation with Graham about the behavior of OF short duration/intervals preceeding the last eruption of Giantess.
11:42 Rich Everyone must be SPELLBOUND!
11:42 Rich very NICE RAINBOW!!!!
11:44 Rich Hi Jason
11:44 Rich Hi vw
11:44 vw for those following the activites today on the seismograph, the U of Utah is reporting several quakes in the area, the one at 07:02 MDT registering at 2.0.
http://quake.utah.edu/recenteqs/Maps/111-44.html
11:45 Rich ty, vw
11:45 Rich hi guest102995
11:45 Rich hi guest249213
11:49 Rich OF ie 12:48:31 wc
11:52 Rich Oct 14, 2009 recap Beehive ~11:55, Giantess 07:13 - 13:30 Ralph T. Lion 07:12, OF 07:26, 08:58ie, 10:10, 12:48:31ie, Rainbow 12:42:05 from OF over Giantess
11:58 Loisb Hi All
11:59 Rich hi Loisb
11:59 Rich Hi CC
11:59 Loisb you must have power again Rich
11:59 CC hi rich ...exciting day
11:59 Rich Got telephone lines anyway.
12:00 Rich Yes it is.
12:00 CC heard you had a great time in the park
12:00 Rich really great time.
12:01 CC so happy to have heard that
12:01 Rich Great meeting up with everyone from the chatroom and others.
12:01 Rich Hi Ryan
12:01 Ryan Hello woohoo Giantess!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
12:01 Rich Got to chat with Bill and John Warnock and Lynn.
12:01 Rich hi guest114361
12:03 Ryan Nice its small and blocked by OF steam
12:04 Rich Hi BruceJ
12:04 Ryan Hello bruce
12:04 Ryan Hi all
12:04 BruceJ Hi!
12:04 Ryan Hi ve, loisb, D, Jason, and uh thats it
12:05 Ryan Bruce would u say Giantess is erupting
12:05 Loisb pretty full house for this time of day
12:05 BruceJ Ryan, Yes, I would say Giantess is in an eruptive phase. This one seems a bit weak, however.
12:06 Ryan Yes it does, will it go into that violent steam phase though
12:07 BruceJ have seen very little of the type of tall powerful water rockets that Derek and I and others saw last eruption.
12:07 Ryan Will that violent rocketing happen as it goes to its steam phase
12:08 mab Rich I think the 1330 time from Ralph T was from July.
12:08 BruceJ Well, I am not a Giantess expert - but it could have more than one phase in which water will once again eject, and the jets could be potent. Steam can certainly include water jets too. It is a complex geyser.
12:09 Ryan ok
12:10 Rich k, ty mab will correct
12:10 mab good thanks. TTFN
12:10 Rich Anyone have a time for Giantess start or ns?
12:11 BruceJ Think Dave M. suggested 0448 based on the seismic trace this AM
12:11 Ryan I saw it at roughly 7am
12:11 CC according to LS Vault started at 11:05with thumps
12:12 CC next vault was at 11:50
12:12 Derek I'm back
12:13 Ryan Hi D
12:13 Ryan That is just incredible (its the first time ive ever seen it live or in person!)
12:13 BruceJ GRAND 1314 ie
12:13 BruceJ Right?
12:14 Ryan Right? wat?
12:14 Rich watching the clock
12:14 BruceJ I see what appeared to be Grand, and wa shoping for confirmation ;-)
12:14 Ryan Yep its Grand
12:14 Loisb I am just loading 1314
12:15 Loisb and its froze on me
12:17 BruceJ the wind looks strong right now.
12:17 Loisb yep
12:17 Rich Corrected Oct 14, 2009 recap Beehive ~11:55, Giantess ~04:48 seismic data Grand 13:15ie, Lion 07:12, OF 07:26, 08:58ie, 10:10, 12:48:31ie, Rainbow 12:42:05 from Beehive over OF over Giantess
12:17 Ryan it looks stronger on the vid cam
12:18 BruceJ I'll bet = pretty wiggly?
12:18 Ryan no actually
12:19 BruceJ Is that another Vault? Or Aurum?
12:19 BruceJ hard to tell on the static cam
12:19 Ryan looks like Giantess :p
12:20 BruceJ K, but there was something that looked a bit leftward...
12:20 Ryan ok
12:21 BruceJ Might want to watch Grand just for a moment to see if it does a 2nd burst
12:21 BruceJ time is about right
12:22 Rich It will, I'm in California again.
12:22 Rich g
12:22 BruceJ ;-)
12:22 BruceJ Next time we'll spend a month there...
12:22 Rich That Depressioin trying?
12:22 Ryan You'll love the 2 bursts R
12:23 Rich I loved the Grand start.
12:23 Ryan There suspenseful
12:23 Rich After waiting thru 12 Turban cycles.
12:24 Ryan they r even MORE SUSPENSFUL
12:25 BruceJ That's a LOT of Turbans...
12:25 BruceJ When a guy who's very urban,
12:26 Rich lol
12:26 BruceJ with enthusiasm curbin'
12:26 BruceJ observes way too much Turban
12:26 BruceJ It gets him drinkin' bourbon.
12:26 Loisb vbg
12:26 Rich In my suburban.
12:26 Ryan hehe
12:26 Rich Hi Bookworm
12:26 Rich Phil
12:27 Loisb Hi Bookworn
12:27 Loisb spelling doen't count right?
12:27 Ryan hi Bokworm
12:27 BruceJ Halloooooo, Bookworm!
12:27 Bookworm Interesting time to jump back in. *grin*
12:27 Ryan me neither?
12:27 BruceJ me too neither
12:27 Rich I froze at 13:18:43
12:27 Loisb hit it
12:27 BruceJ I froze on Saturday
12:27 Loisb g
12:28 Rich Thursday was pretty cold in the blizzard.
12:28 BruceJ yes it was!
12:28 Rich Anyone have a time for Beehive on the 12th?
12:28 Ryan hold on...
12:29 Ryan nope i got one for the 11 :)
12:29 Rich k
12:29 Rich ty
12:29 Rich Trying to catch up the Beehive log.
12:29 Rich No report of Beehive on the 10th per LS.
12:30 BruceJ We all turned our backs on it that day
12:30 Rich hi guest435405
12:30 Bookworm Is that Vault?
12:30 Derek Aurum
12:30 Bookworm Well, that's good too.
12:30 Jason Snowfox vault more to the right of giantess
12:30 Bookworm OK.
12:30 BruceJ I see PLUME 1231
12:30 Jason Snowfox left is aurum
12:31 Jason Snowfox with the way the wind's blowing its' going to be really hard to see vault
12:31 Rich Any time on Aurum?
12:32 Ryan i think it was 1331
12:32 Rich ty
12:32 BruceJ Teakettle must be directy behind Giantess; and yes, Ryan, I missed that time (using my PDT clock) ;-)
12:33 BruceJ The peeps are dressed in reasonable clothes 2day, I see...
12:33 Rich Summer returns
12:33 Rich g
12:35 Ryan I wish
12:35 Jason Snowfox thats why we NEED global warming -- so YS can remain open year round :P
12:35 Loisb knew there had to be a reason
12:35 Rich right!!
12:35 Ryan Yeah
12:36 Rich Wonder if the temp gets warmer, if Beehive will go more often?
12:37 Rich Look a yellow jacket? Must be Rich
12:37 Ryan Giantess just gave a explosion near;y 150ft
12:38 BruceJ Rich, could be - but earlier someone (vw?) suggested that Beehive's screwy behavior might be a precursor to Giantess.
12:39 Ryan I suggested it too...
12:39 Ryan a month ago
12:39 Ryan I looked through the logs since 74
12:39 BruceJ OK - sorry!
12:39 Ryan :) sry i wasnt mad
12:39 Rich Beehive date, time, interval 10/06/09 18:10 10/07/09 08:50 10/08/09 16:04 10/09/09 15:11 10/11/09 16:32 10/13/09 15:31 10/14/09 ~11:55
12:39 Rich Hmmm
12:40 Ryan But i did notice that 90% of the time BH became erratic or had long (20hr + ) intervals within the week before Giantess eruptions...
12:40 BruceJ Rich - where do you get those intervals? At least one was 23:30 or so...
12:41 Jason Snowfox I was thinking more along the lines of no indicator/short indicator
12:41 BruceJ Oh, sorry - those are times...
12:41 Ryan That may be possible too, i looked at that too, it was an even match between no/ short and normal indicators
12:41 Rich B - no intervals figured with this batch of data on Beehive and if you notice the 10th is missing
12:42 BruceJ Ryan, we did not see that with the July Giantess, did we?
12:42 Ryan i said 90% of the time :)
12:42 Ryan Ill look hold on
12:42 BruceJ I know - just checking the latest data :-)
12:42 Rich "WE" did see irratic behavior in OF. Pre Giantess, similar to this time.
12:42 Jason Snowfox You just might be seeing the Geyser Hill Wave, not a linkage to beehive/giantess
12:43 Jason Snowfox beehive historical has always had a tendancy to be eratic.. with or without giantess
12:43 Ryan yeah...
12:43 BruceJ Some knowledgeable gazers thinks the Geyser Hill Wave might be a figment of someone's imagination.
12:43 BruceJ It will be interesting to see what BH does now that Giantess has played.
12:43 Jason Snowfox Possibly, there's always that chance
12:44 BruceJ Personally, I am undecided on the GHW.
12:44 Rich There probably won't be anyone in the basin to catch the overnights.
12:44 Jason Snowfox If you really want to datamine, you should look at the 83 data for beehive/giantess I suppose
12:44 BruceJ I'll bet someone has already done it.
12:45 Jason Snowfox Or this could be a delayed effect from all the 5,6,7 and 8.0 quakes around the world
12:45 Jason Snowfox That wouldn't be unheard of either
12:45 Ryan yes, in July BH was still consistent in the 11-14hr range
12:46 Ryan Vault 1345ie
12:46 Jason Snowfox I havn't made up my mind on the GHW either
12:47 Jason Snowfox It's sort of like saying that a full moon makes more geysers erupt, but no way to predict it
12:47 Ryan Bruce, I can see water splahing to 10ft to the right of Giantess, Vault?
12:47 Jason Snowfox looks like vault to me
12:48 Ryan ok then i had vault at 1345ie
12:48 BruceJ I cannot quite see on the static cam
12:49 BruceJ Beehive in July: 07/03/09 18:33:00, 12:57:0007/04/09 08:57:00, 14:24:0007/04/09 21:38:00, 12:41:0007/05/09 11:04:00, 13:26:0007/05/09 23:49:00, 12:45:0007/06/09 11:33:00, 11:44:0007/06/09 22:37:00, 11:04:00 07/07/09 11:17:00
12:49 Jason Snowfox Personally I find your false hit on north goggle more intreguing
12:50 Jason Snowfox than beehive intervals
12:50 Jason Snowfox obviously something erupted over there
12:50 Ryan ? me?
12:50 Jason Snowfox Not the same Ryan on listserv?
12:50 Ryan oh, yes that was me...
12:51 BruceJ 12:40:00 07/07/09 23:35:00, 12:18:0007/08/09 10:57:00, 11:22:00 07/08/09 22:22:00, 11:25:0007/09/09 08:57:00, 10:35:0007/09/09 18:55:00, 9:58:0007/10/09 08:24:00, 13:29:00
12:51 Ryan I didnt say it erupted, i said boiling and ?splashing?
12:51 Jason Snowfox Dave had came in and said it wasn't NG, wrong location
12:51 BruceJ All those BH intervals were fairly regular.
12:51 Jason Snowfox but didn't say what it was, but something over there boiled that you saw
12:52 BruceJ Across form NGoggle is Ear Spring - it might have boiled big - ?
12:52 Ryan WOW look her (Giantess) go now!
12:52 Jason Snowfox that's really out of the ordinary for ear if true
12:52 Ryan Did Dave see it too?
12:52 BruceJ I agree.
12:53 Jason Snowfox Dave saw something but said it wasn't NG, wrong location
12:53 BruceJ But there isn't much else there!
12:53 Ryan Unless it was Goggles
12:53 Derek DaveM tapes the streaming cam every day
12:53 Derek He simply plays it back to check
12:53 Rich wb CC
12:53 Rich bye CC
12:53 Jason Snowfox Even that would be out of the ordinary :P
12:53 Ryan Bison 1353
12:54 BruceJ Now THAT would be extraordianry - Goggles does not erupt or even boil big.
12:54 Jason Snowfox since 85
12:54 Rich R - location?
12:54 Ryan Anemones
12:54 Rich ty
12:54 Ryan now by BW right far right of OF

15:20 Ryan So Giantess has ?2? times this year?
15:21 Jason Snowfox 3rd isn't it?
15:21 Jason Snowfox one in Feb?
15:21 Ryan Oh, i think i remember seeing one in the July eruption chat log
15:23 Graham the summer one was in nice conditions
15:26 Rich What is that steam down front of Giantess?
15:26 Graham of
15:26 Ryan of
15:26 Rich The bright spot?
15:27 Rich Hi guest921902
15:27 Graham I think its just a wet area that looks like steam
15:27 Rich k
15:27 Rich ty
15:31 Ryan I was at the beach during the one in july... ... this july well have a Giant and Giantess Dual and Ill miss it too... :(
15:32 Graham the beach? why go there?
15:32 Ryan It fun. :D
15:34 Rich lol
15:34 Ryan So should Giantess get "bigger"?
15:35 Ryan Ive heard nothing but good things about her, so this is a slight et down :|
15:35 Ryan not total its still a rare geyser
15:36 Graham not exciting enough?
15:37 Ryan it was when io first saw it, now its like... ...OF or Lion
15:37 Graham its been erupting over 12 hours now
15:37 Graham seen one eruption, seen em all
15:38 BruceJ Giantess sometimes has relatively weak eruptions; these have been dubbed Mixed-Phase not because of the weakness, but because of lack of differentiation of steam and water - Graham, does that sound right?
15:39 Graham so Rich/Bruce - is John Warnock still in the park?
15:40 Graham I am not sure, this may be a Water eruption, Lynn said it had not gone to steam. Maybe it did later though
15:40 vw I must leave. mommy duties tonight will prevent me from reappearing here. hope all have a good evening!
15:40 Graham I know very little about Giantess, seen two well ie before
15:40 Graham ok, see you vw
15:41 Rich nite vw
15:43 BruceJ John was around on Monday; don't know if he is still there.

October 15th, 2009

06:36 Allan Well, yesterday we had Giantess. So can Giant be far behind?
06:36 CC hi everyone
06:36 Allan Hi CC
06:37 CC hi allan
06:37 CC quiet morning compared to yesterday
06:37 Allan Yes, quite.
06:40 Allan Hi vw
06:44 Kent Good morning all. Greetings from Zion. Looks like I leave town and all #### breaks loose? Interesting day yesterday. Kent
06:45 Allan It was unfortunate that you were out of town. It was a nice show.
06:46 BruceJ Hi, Kent, CC, vw, Allan, Jason, Frostbite and Guest 102995. It was a fun day, no doubt!
06:46 Kent I have a very slow connection here in the motel so I had to be satisified with captures of boot Giantess and the coneheads
06:48 Allan Hi Bruce
06:48 BruceJ Howdy Allan!
06:49 BruceJ Looks like some steam form Depression this morjing
06:50 BruceJ When we were there, even at the coldest times, Depression just stayed pretty much at bare overflow all the time; didn't notice any changes from day to day or hour to hour. Looks better this AM
06:51 BruceJ Unless that's Scissors...
06:53 Allan Boy is it steamy!
06:53 CC typical for this time of the morning
06:53 BruceJ Indeed - must be a pretty damp day
06:54 BruceJ lotsa humidi-didity
06:54 CC morning CB
06:54 BruceJ Hi, cb!
06:56 Rich hi cb
06:56 Rich hi CC
06:56 Rich hi Jason
06:56 Rich Hi Kent
06:56 Rich Hi vw
06:56 Rich Hi guest102995
06:57 Allan Howdy Rich
06:57 BruceJ That's fine - don't say hi to me...I don't care (sniff)
06:58 cb Sorry just waking up....need cuppa...
06:58 cb Hi Bruce
06:58 cb hi rich'
06:58 BruceJ Hola! cb
06:58 Rich hi guest31578
06:58 cb hi Allan
06:58 CC Forgot to post the Lion went this morning at 7:26 (IE)
06:58 cb Hi ......Kent? you suppose to be in Zion
07:00 Rich hi mab
07:01 Kent Just a quick visit. Headed home this mornng.
07:01 CC OF 8:00
07:01 BruceJ Hi, mab
07:02 BruceJ The top half of the static cam ,looks blotto this morning...
07:04 mab Question: I never know if my connection will last.
07:04 mab Can you see Sprinkler from the streaming cam view? I only get static cam
07:11 BruceJ mab, Sprinkler is outside the view of the static cam, just off to the left.
07:11 BruceJ The stream gets it pretty well, though.
07:12 mab OK, I thought it might since you all report Castle, and etc down basin.
07:12 BruceJ It's OK, Rich and I only static too...
07:12 BruceJ get static
07:13 mab I will spend some time on streaming at Thanksgiving, my family might wonder why I came to see them and not get away from a computer
07:14 BruceJ The static misses Castle, Sprinkler, Daisy, Sawmill's group and a few others.
07:14 mab Can you actually see the river level there by Sprinkler or generally just steam?
07:14 BruceJ Your family will just have to understand!
07:15 BruceJ The Castle-Sawmill bridge is visible, as is occasional water from Sprinkler. The river might be marginally visible - I'd have to see form home.
07:15 mab Its hard to visualize, but I will check it out in November. Thanks.
07:16 Rich Split Cone is close, when the afternoon sun is behind it, you can tell the steam is from it.
07:17 Rich Shadow on the ground.
07:19 Rich Rich: hi BruceJ
07:19 Rich I did BJ, but it didn't get thru, that's a copy from my meebo window.
07:19 BruceJ Well! It's about time! ;-)
07:20 Rich I had also said hi to Allan
07:21 BruceJ Alas, Allan has departed for now
07:21 Rich yes
07:21 Rich I just made a screan capture of the meebo window.
07:22 BruceJ Was it good?
07:23 Derek Hi All
07:23 Rich Hi Derek.

07:24 Rich B- chocolate is better.
07:25 BruceJ MMMM chocolate...
07:25 BruceJ You bare evil Rich
07:25 BruceJ are
07:25 Rich Hmm, I've heard of chocolate baths.
07:26 Rich There wouldn't be anything left in the tub.
07:27 BruceJ Remember Rich, this is a mild PG chat group ;-)
07:27 Rich Pretty GREAT?
07:27 BruceJ Ummm - yeah...
07:30 Rich Now if there was just a thermal cam on the basin, so I could tell the difference between normal winter steam and an eruption.
07:30 BruceJ There's an idea!
07:31 Rich Could tell from whence steam cometh.
07:31 BruceJ Gotta get some shirk done - see everyone later! Look at Lion again...
07:32 Rich later BruceJ
07:34 Rich Looks like steam at Dome

08:29 sparekitty dland was wonderful. my daughter said it was the most fun she's ever had at disneyland. that was very cool to hear.
08:29 Rich very
08:29 Rich Oct 15, 2009 recap Depression 08:55ie, Lion 07:26IE, OF 08:00,
08:30 Rich Beehive date, time, 10/06/09 18:10 10/07/09 08:50 10/08/09 16:04 10/09/09 15:11 10/11/09 16:32 10/13/09 15:31 10/14/09 11:55
08:30 sparekitty so we could see beehive sometime soon-ish.
08:31 Rich I haven't even tried to figure out intervals yet.
08:31 Rich Not very many reports coming in from the geyserlist.
08:32 Rich I don't know if we are even having overnights.
08:32 Rich Lynn's no longer in the park.
08:33 sparekitty it's jsut about officially winter in the park, i guess.
08:33 Rich OF ie 09:32:48 wc
08:33 Rich yep
08:34 Rich Closing day is the 1st-2nd
08:34 Jason Snowfox hrm, I couldn't remember our door code this morning
08:35 Rich lol
08:35 Rich Winter blues?
08:35 Jason Snowfox still can't remember it hehe
08:35 Jason Snowfox my brain is frozen, it needs a reboot
08:36 Rich I now have 2 cells functioning in my brain.
08:36 Rich But they only talk to each other.
08:54 Rich Blue Skies over my head, nothing but blues skies from now on. - - - - - -
09:05 Jason Snowfox ... I still can't remember it
09:05 Jason Snowfox this is scary :P
09:06 Rich Don't think about it, just put you hand on the table and enter the code.
09:08 Rich Just let motor memory take over.
09:16 Jason Snowfox  I guess I partied a bit to much when I was younger lol
09:17 sparekitty it's not the partying, jason, it's the having kids! seriously, you have more stuff to remember and as your brain re-prioritizes stuff, some stuff is forgotten! don't sweat it, just start writing stuff down! much easier than worrying...
09:18 Rich g
09:18 Rich Normal, changes, just have to go with the flow.
09:19 sparekitty what's that?
09:24 Rich Plume ie 10:23:02 wc
09:26 Rich I didn't know Plume did more than 3 bursts, was strange to see it do 5.
09:34 Jason Snowfox true kitty, but i used to have a much better memory. I'm occasonally forgetting things now-a-days
09:34 Jason Snowfox that was just a random one, kinda stupid looking standing at your office door scratching your head
09:34 sparekitty i'm guesing you're just hitting 30. that's when my memory started going.
09:34 Jason Snowfox 31
09:35 Rich huh?
09:35 sparekitty it can totally consume you, wondering WTF. but seriously, you'll be MUCH happier (and well organized) if you just start keeping a calendar or put stuff in your iPHone.
09:35 Jason Snowfox i need more omega 3 :P
09:35 Rich Who are you people, and what are you doing in my computer?
09:35 sparekitty very cute rich.
09:35 Rich lol
09:35 Jason Snowfox I'm the voice in your head
09:36 Rich What you have to look forward to.
09:36 Rich g
09:36 sparekitty wait till you have more than one kid. get's worse. just write stuff down...i wish somebody had warned me!!!
09:36 Jason Snowfox lol, Serenabena's enough for me
09:37 Rich I'm going to start charging rent.
09:37 sparekitty i told you before, PM your address and i'll send you jam. but NOOOOOO.
09:37 Rich Getting time for that.
09:39 Rich Nice clouds now.

10:08 Allan Hi Rich, Jason, sparekitty, Derek
10:08 Allan Just dropped in while I have lunch

10:09 Allan Rich, Did you download R?
10:09 Allan It's a lot warmer than sitting on a bench right now
10:10 Allan Although it snowed here this morning
10:10 Rich Likely to get more with the storms moving thrun Wyoming.
10:10 Rich thru
10:11 Rich Should hit Wis about tomorrow
10:11 Allan I hoppe not. I need to work on my house before winter
10:11 Allan hope
10:12 Rich ah, then we want it to veer south to the central states.
10:12 Allan Yup south would be good
10:13 sparekitty hey allan; i'd take some of your weather! while it rained yesterday, it's another GORGEOUS blue sky day in pasadena.
10:14 Allan Yeah, all that blue sky gets monotonous
10:14 Allan I like a good snowstorm every now and then
10:15 Allan Then followed by bright blue skies and crystal clear air.
10:15 Rich I think I had my needs fulfilled sitting waiting for Beehive on Thursday, blowing snow. g

October 16th, 2009

06:08 CC OF this morning was at 7:05 and it was a long
06:30 cb hey derek...
07:05 Derek Hi guest102995
07:35 Rich Hi derek
07:35 Rich Hi cb
07:35 Rich hi guest102995
07:39 BruceJ Hi, y'all - another busy day today - some lawyers want to depose me... :-/
07:39 Rich Hi BruceJ
07:40 Rich hi guest304467
07:40 Rich how nice for them.
07:40 BruceJ Right - nice for THEM ;-)
07:41 BruceJ lawyers are like Rift Geyser - alwasy stopping things from happening
07:42 BruceJ Rich, you did not see a Rift happen this last trip...
07:42 Rich nope
07:43 Rich This morning everything could be happening and we wouldn't see it.
07:43 BruceJ It's fun to watch until you remember that it is the single biggest factor contributing to a Grand Geyser delay.
07:43 BruceJ Then you curse the little bugger ;-)
07:43 BruceJ I do see Anemone ;-)
07:44 BruceJ However, you are right, nothing else is visible
07:44 Rich And I don't know whether that is an eruption of Anemone or just morning steaminess.
07:45 BruceJ It does not look particularly cold there - must be VERY wet
07:46 BruceJ At least when we were there, you could see stuff, even through the snow
07:46 Rich yep
07:46 Rich was very nice
07:48 Rich I can't get my dvd player to read the camera driver disk.
07:49 Rich or any other disk for that matter.
07:49 Rich Not a very productive Friday morning.
07:49 Rich (hmm)
07:54 BruceJ (sigh)
07:54 Rich me too.
07:54 BruceJ That's the video camera?
07:55 Rich no the Canon
07:56 BruceJ Your Canon uses a disc? I thought it used a SD card...
07:56 Rich No, I'm trying to install the cam software so I can download my photos.
07:57 BruceJ OH, gotcha...won't accept it, eh? maybe here's an answer -
07:57 Rich k
07:58 BruceJ My new PC would not accept the older Canon software because ti was a different operating system tahn the one the software was designed for.
07:58 BruceJ Which operating ssytem are you using?
07:58 Derek Back again
07:58 Rich xp
07:59 BruceJ Is your siftware suppsoed to be OK on that, or does it need Vista or something else?
07:59 BruceJ Hi, derek
07:59 Derek My Fuji Finepix uses an XD card.
07:59 Rich It's not just the software disk that won't read, I can't get any disk to read.
07:59 BruceJ Oh, oh...
08:00 BruceJ Maybe you need a new drive :S
08:00 BruceJ I had to buy a new drive for my last PC. It worke dmuch better than the built0in cheapo drive
08:00 Rich New computer. lol
08:00 Rich New Operator.
08:01 BruceJ New drives are fairly cheap, especially internal. easy to install too.
08:02 BruceJ External drives are even easier, but a litle more costly
08:03 Rich I might have an old external laying about, was just looking to see if I have a USB one.
08:03 Rich hi sparekitty
08:03 sparekitty good morning guys
08:03 BruceJ Well, I am afraid I have to get ready to meet the barristers, so sdaly I have to leave. Good luck on that drive - make sure you have ths software for it.
08:03 BruceJ Hi Sparekitty
08:03 sparekitty wo what's everybody doing today?
08:04 BruceJ Looks like a nice day is brewing up at YNP
08:04 Rich relax, it will be over soon.
08:04 BruceJ I have to be deposed before a panel of lawyers. FUN!
08:04 Rich sparekitty, looks to be a stare at fog day in the basin. lol
08:04 BruceJ That blue sky portends better things to come.
08:04 sparekitty my hubby is involved in a big patent lawsuit and his deposition took days. he's not a fan of lawyers
08:05 BruceJ Mine should last about an hour.
08:05 Rich We'll be rooting for you.
08:05 sparekitty i'm sure you'll do fine, dear. you use as many big words as they do!
08:05 BruceJ Thanks - I'm not in trouble, thank goodness - just a witness.
08:05 BruceJ Indubitably
08:05 sparekitty lol
08:05 Rich lol
08:06 Rich Fantasmagoric
08:06 BruceJ I will be as hyperpolysyllabic as possible
08:06 Rich g
08:07 BruceJ Well, gotta go - have fun, y'all!
08:07 Rich bye
08:07 Rich break a pencil
08:08 Rich We had quite the run of Lions yesterday
08:08 Rich We finished up with 11 known eruptions of Lion yesterday.
08:09 Rich and no inter series pauses.
08:10 Derek Maybe Giantess has disrupted it
08:10 Rich Graham sent the list in to geyserlist, but missed yesterday's report time. So should be out today and we will get to see what the thought for the day is.
08:11 Derek We can only hope that this phenomenum also triggers an appearance of Big Cub and Lioness.
08:11 Rich Unfortunate if it is happening now, tho.
08:13 Derek Although from what George Heinz said, Lion would have to go to sleep for it's power to shift over to Big Cub and Lioness
08:13 Rich Sometime we missed an OF, VC says next is at 10:01
08:14 Rich missed OF at 08:31
08:15 Rich The only thing to watch and I didn't see it. oh well.
08:39 Rich Nice straight plume on OF, guess the lack of wind is why there is so much fog.
08:56 Rich OF ie 09:55:19 wc
09:03 Rich hi guest683874
09:06 guest683874 Hi Rich. It's Kent who is too lazy to properly log in :^) Just stopping by for a ninute.

09:06 Rich hi Jason
09:06 Jason Snowfox Good morning
09:07 Jason Snowfox There is a fly in my office bothering me, that will NOT live very long
09:07 Rich Graham posted the string of Lion eruptions to Geyserlistserv
09:07 Rich Shot it.
09:07 Jason Snowfox I read it last night
09:07 Rich Got a shoot gun?
09:07 Jason Snowfox Giantess effect?
09:07 Rich Waiting for response
09:07 Rich we got 11 eruptions yesterday before dark
09:08 Rich And after sunrise
09:08 Jason Snowfox could just be a new series though
09:08 Rich hi guest4860035
09:08 Rich Fairly even distribution

09:11 Jason Snowfox Would be interesting, as there was a swarm that started on 10/14/09
09:11 Jason Snowfox so Giantess effect, quake effect, or Lion just going crazy?
09:11 Rich yep
09:11 Rich any or all
09:12 Rich To many variables yesterday
09:12 Rich and 14th
09:12 Jason Snowfox what about this morning, any lion times?
09:13 Rich Haven't been able to see the treeline until just about 10 min ago.
09:13 Rich Fogged in.
09:14 Jason Snowfox This fly has a deathwish
09:14 Rich roll up a newspaper
09:15 Rich Get your rubber bands out and start target practice.
09:16 Rich Fresh pencil for a launcher.
09:16 Rich Notch the eraser and go for it.

09:45 Rich Put a bounty on them with your kids.
09:47 Jason Snowfox She isn't old enough to use as slave labor yet
09:47 Rich lol
09:49 Rich Always something hampering the best laid plans of mice and men.g
09:49 sparekitty even when they ARE old enough to use as slave labor is no guarentee that they'll actually do what you say! plus, you can't beat your kids and get away with it anymore...
09:49 Rich The ghost of Lynn is on the VC sidewalk in the static cam.

15:00 Graham im in Va
15:03 Anna off-topic question for you guys: earlier this week, a couple of folks in this chat were, well. . chatting me up. Any way to ditch them? It happened twice, they'd use the IM function. i finally just went off line.
15:03 Graham had my fleece on at work today thinking of you Bruce and Rich...they have finally fixed the AC now its 45F outside.
15:04 Graham they dont chat us up haha
15:04 Graham you might change to a neutral nickname
15:04 Anna gee, i wonder why. must be my sexy way of typing.
15:04 Anna that's a good idea. I'm open to suggestions. . .
15:04 Graham I think thats why we have so many initials in the room

15:41 Kent Rich,
15:41 Rich yes
15:42 Graham actually Ralphs data shows Lion had a series of 7 eruptions ending on July 6th when Giantess started, so it was before Giantess
15:43 Graham Giantess erupted 7/6 at 0713 and the 7th lion was at 0717electronic
15:43 Bruce da Moose Well - THAT one was... ;-)
15:44 Bruce da Moose Either way, Giantess puts the squeeze on Lion!
15:44 Rich Different?
15:44 Graham then it did 3, 3, 2, 6 eruptions
15:49 Bruce da Moose Well, time for me to pull up stakes and head out of this train wreck of a job. Maybe see you guys when I get home... ;-)
15:49 Graham well it was different, this Lion series started after Giantess
15:49 Graham ok, don't slip into the wuarry

16:38 VMW saw one do that in a bison jam once...just took off down the road away from the herd
16:38 RHBM they did that just for kicks!
16:39 RHBM either that coyote is mousing or the bison really shook him up.
16:39 Graham they are all looking at the bear
16:39 RHBM BEAR???

16:43 RHBM i didn't see any on the cams. poor planning on my part I guess.
16:43 Graham one day it showed up at least twice on static, one maybe was too far down basin for static to see it
16:44 Rich I had it all to myself, too.

16:52 Graham She posted BH 10min in the future
16:53 Rich Hard to read the little time stamp on the capture
17:08 Rich Looks like just a little roar at Lion
17:08 Rich meow
17:08 Rich Sure looks different in this light.
17:08 Graham it doesn't roar before the initial though Rich, only after the initial when its thinking of erupting again
17:08 Rich ah
17:08 Rich just evening steam then. g
17:09 Rich my downfall.
17:09 Graham could be splashing
17:09 Rich I didn't get to call a Lion while we were there.
17:09 Rich I did get to call Grand on Sunday and then Beehive. Was a great joy.
17:09 Graham when its full of water it splashes. after the initial its empty so you get the steam rushes out the hole and the roaringg sound
17:10 Rich k
17:10 Rich I made it thru my photos once.
17:10 Rich Not a lot of quality photos
17:10 Rich Steam everywhere.
17:10 Graham yeah its fun to call them
17:11 Rich There are a few nice ones, will try and get them up this weekend. Might go to a friends house and upload using his dsl
17:11 Graham ok, thanks. it was not a good weekend for photos
17:11 Rich Bruce and Biill Warnock were down at F&M when I got to call Beehive.
17:11 Rich only other gazers in the basin.
17:12 Rich I even called an anemone, but it was after VC closed for the day.
17:12 Rich lol
17:12 Graham did you call Water in the Indicator?
17:12 Graham haha..its different late season and WInter when nobodys listening
17:13 Rich I had just rounded Lion when I saw indicator going. Called it and then bang Beehive went
17:13 Rich On Wednesday was next to Lynn when she called water in indicator.
17:13 Rich I saw the water rising.
17:14 Rich Was cool.
17:14 Graham ok. nice to see it bubble up and start
17:14 Graham next time have to get you calling events and an eruption at F&M
17:14 Rich I might be able to after the intensive course with cb, bill, vw and bruce.
17:15 Rich We sat on the benches for a long time Saturday night.
17:15 Rich Oblong?
17:15 Graham Oblong or Grand?
17:16 Graham looks too small for Grand
17:16 Rich straight for oblong, puff for grand, nice mix
17:16 Rich but I'd say Oblong
17:17 Graham OF 1816
17:17 Rich hi guest709859
17:19 Rich I got River, High, Gold, Angle, Main, East on Fan
17:19 Rich Bottom, Main on Mortar. Right now I can't remember the other one.

17:21 Rich Things are finally starting to settle in and I'm getting them put together in the right places.
17:22 Graham River, Frying Pan, Gold 2 & 3
17:22 Rich Now I'm going to get confused. lol

17:23 Graham and its Upper and Lower Mortar
17:23 Rich k

17:23 Graham no Main on Mortar
17:23 Rich I can't manage that, makes sense position wise.
17:24 Rich lol
17:24 Graham well upper it the one on top, lower is lower, bottom is the bottom one
17:24 Rich I can visualize them, just can't verbalize to well.
17:24 Graham well I am going to leave, see you tomorrow

17:31 Rich k
17:32 Graham yeah you were closer to the last photo sitting on the bench
17:32 Graham so the vents are...?
17:32 Rich left to right - High, Gold 2&3 Angle and back a little East?
17:33 Graham High, Gold, ANgle, Main (the big v shape largest burst) and East hidden by Main
17:33 Graham East in Mains shadow
17:34 Rich ok
17:34 Rich I never really saw anything coming out of Main.
17:34 Rich Angle was playing most of the time.
17:35 Rich Saw High Gold and Angle and River
17:36 Graham yep, they are the most active
17:36 Graham Main usually does nothing
17:36 Rich Upper and bottom vent on Mortar.
17:36 Graham until it does something :)

17:56 Rich Really nice people.
17:56 Rich Everyone was/is.
17:57 Rich Met John Warnock and then later met Bill.
17:57 Rich Had diinner with Bill in West on Sunday night on our way home.
17:58 Allan John is a real character.
17:58 Rich Driving in Bruce and I stopped by Mesa Falls, I'd like to go back there again.
17:58 Rich So is Bill. lol
17:59 Allan Refresh my memory where is Mesa Falls?
17:59 Rich Met Lynn at Grand on Wednesday
18:03 Rich Mesa Falls is SSW of West.
18:03 Allan Okay
18:03 Rich We followed a road east out of Ashton and then wandered north eastish
18:04 Rich It was a little foggy but very pretty.
18:04 Rich Lots of water, or I thought so anyway.
18:06 Allan How far is it from the park timewise?
18:06 Rich http://www.byways.org/explore/byways/2047/
18:06 Rich I'd say about 1/2 hour - 45 min.
18:07 Rich Was nice to see after driving all night.
18:07 Allan Thanks. I suspect I drove past it some time ago (1991) and didn't know it was there.
18:08 Rich Lois and I drove the Teton Scenic Byway out of Ashton, same road but Mesa falls goes left and Teton goes right.
18:08 Rich about a couple of miles east of Ashton
18:09 Allan Yup, I drove past it.
18:10 Rich After all the farmland to get into the woods and then by the river is such a change.
18:12 Allan I think we're losing our light.
18:12 Rich Sorry, I can't see you anymore. g
18:13 Allan Watch out for the bison on your way back to your cabin. g
18:14 Rich There was a small herd downbasin today.

06:37 Rich yep
06:37 cb great to stand out in the freezin temps w good friends
06:37 cb g
06:37 Rich ok g
06:38 Graham since I go in Jan when theres nobody there...what does that say about me :)
06:38 Rich I'll say this, if you find yourself standing out in the blowing snow, no one better have standing there with you than a bunch of geyser gazers.
06:38 Rich That a flock of birds around OF?
06:39 Rich must have been, gone now.
06:39 cb that you like some solutude in your life .... and cooooold temps. Really got some clue about what your winter trips are like last weekend G
06:40 Graham yeah Rich, have to be like penguins, rotating so you don't stay at the back in the wind all the time
06:40 cb It was sooo nice on Sunday morning making fresh tracks in the snow down to F&M
06:40 Rich lol
06:40 Rich I was thinking more along the lines of being bear bait. g
06:41 Rich Everyone could move faster than me. g
06:41 Graham yeah those temps were typical Jan temps Rich. but they were not cold Jan temps :)
06:41 Rich I know the Bears where supposed to be hibernating. but - - - -
06:41 Graham yeah but its not spring, but the bears could come through again I guess since there are less people
06:42 Graham biggest problem is trails blocked by not-moving because of the cold Bison
06:42 cb Not all. Have some great pics of fresh bear prints in the snow at canyon...right along the pathway to the overlook
06:42 Rich Kent and cb reported fresh bear tracks.
06:42 Graham in summer they move, mowing the grass
06:43 Graham oh good, where?
06:43 Rich I think I'll take my teddy bear next time, then they will think I'm one of them. g
06:43 Graham yeah then anyone you are with has to be worried about mama bear being protective of Rich-baby-bear
06:43 cb bear walked along the walkway to the overlook of lower falls...then detoured down a close path...can't read!
06:44 richard brb...need anther bagel

12:39 Rich Wonderful world of our National Parks
12:39 var123 yes..
12:39 Michael Right now not much is going on. That's the thing about geysers -- you don't get to choose when they erupt.
12:41 Michael Old Faithful is predicted to go in about 15 minutes, give or take 10.
12:41 var123 yes.. am waiting too
12:41 Rich It is the one steaming just to the right of center.
12:42 var123 why is it called so?
12:42 Ryan No Grand... yet.
12:42 Ryan ?
12:43 Michael Old Fiathful was named in 1870 by an explorer expedition led by (I forget the first name ) Washburn.
12:43 Ryan Henry
12:43 Michael They stayed for about two days in the area and were impressed by the way that it erupted at very reliable intervals, day and night.
12:44 var123 oh okay.. that's nice...
12:44 Michael This year there eruptions are mostly about 90 minutes apart. Every once in a while it throws in a shorter interval, just to keep us guessing.
12:45 var123 haha.. old tricky geyser :)
12:45 Rich  
http://www.yellowstone.net/geysers/oldfaithful.htm
12:45 Michael I'll let you see for yoursef how tall it is.
12:46 Michael Don't be fooled by the splashing it does leading up to the full eruption.
12:46 var123 thanks for the links
12:46 var123 okay
12:46 var123 10 more mins
12:46 Rich ur welcome
12:46 Rich or so
12:46 var123 wow.. this is so cool
12:46 var123 watching old geyser from india
12:46 var123 live
12:47 Rich This morning we had a herd of 20 Bison move across the viewing area close to the sidewalk.

12:47 var123 were they blocking the view
12:48 Rich That link is a capture from the streaming cam. Courtesy of Graham.
12:48 var123 nice picture
12:49 Rich Yellowstone National Park contains more thermal features than all the rest of the worlds thermal features combined.
12:51 Rich The BBC produced a series of programs about Yellowstone, they are available on the BBC website.
12:53 Graham Plume 1353
12:53 var123 where is this cam placed?
12:53 Rich The web cams at Yellowstone are in a tree.
12:54 var123 oh okay
12:54 Michael It's on a tree about 150m south of Old Faithful.
12:54 var123 its a high resolution cam i guess... pics are really good
12:55 Michael We can see some of the large geysers up to a 1km away, and recognize steam clouds from some other geysers up to 2 km away.
12:55 Michael If the weather is clear.
12:55 var123 oh wow
12:55 Rich g

12:56 var123 how do u guys know so much about the faithful?
12:56 var123 are u following it so faithfully? :)
12:57 Michael Some of us have been interested in geysers for many years.
12:57 var123 thats really nice
12:57 Rich This is a link to a reference photo of the Old Faithful area, pointing out some of the major geysers visable from the webcams.
http://www.nps.gov/archive/yell/tours/livecams/old…
12:58 Michael Rich, do you have a library of all these links? Are are you just good at hunting them down?
12:58 Graham more shorts Rich..unlike last weekend
12:59 Rich I am trying to get the static cam to refresh.
12:59 Rich hasn't refreshed for me since got back.
13:00 Michael It's refreshing on my screen. Grand and Lion aren't erupting, if that's what you wanted to know...
13:00 Rich g ty
13:01 var123 i can see it too
13:01 var123 is the old faithful erupting?
13:01 Michael Not yet.
13:01 Graham it is splashing though
13:02 var123 okay.. pls let me know so that i don't miss it
13:02 Michael It lasts from 2-4 minutes. You won't miss it.
13:02 Graham OF 1402
13:02 var123 okay
13:02 Graham its erupting now
13:03 var123 oh yes
13:03 var123 amazing shots
13:04 var123 won't the steam come towards people who are watching
13:05 Loisb Hello
13:05 var123 hello losib
13:05 Graham it goes wherever the wind blows
13:05 Loisb looks like I forgot to log off at the kids house - sorry - am not there now - g
13:05 Michael Sometimes it does. It isn't dangerous.
13:05 var123 okay
13:05 var123 ppl are moving out
13:05 var123 guess its over
13:05 Graham some geysers will get you wet, from light mist to monsoon
13:06 Graham Lion 1406
13:06 Michael Lion 1406?
13:06 var123 thanks guys..it was amazing
13:07 Graham This is Lions 5th eruption today
13:09 Michael Would we have seen anything if it went at, say, 07:55 this morning?
13:12 Michael I'm heading out again. Maybe I can get back in time to see what Lion does in an hour.
13:12 Loisb g
13:12 Graham yes we would have seen Lion then
13:13 Graham but it didn't erupt
13:16 Rich I think I'm back and static is refreshing.
13:16 Loisb wb
13:18 Rich I dd a download with downthemall while I was gone, think it messed with the static cam refresh.
13:23 Bruce da Moose HI, guys - any big stuff today (Giant, for example?)
13:24 Loisb you just want everything Bruce
13:24 Bruce da Moose I';m so GREEDY!
13:24 Graham its been waiting for you Bruce
13:24 Bruce da Moose Ah, that would be nice! :-)
13:25 Graham another beautiful day in the basin
13:25 Graham just like last weekend
13:25 Bruce da Moose Unlike his wife, who waited for me to LEAVE!
13:26 Bruce da Moose You know what? That cold weather last weekend was a real treat just the same - I miss it here, and it was nice to have again :-)
13:27 Bruce da Moose You have the cam, Graham?
13:27 Rich Hi Bruce
13:27 Bruce da Moose Hi Rich
13:27 Loisb we have had your rain for the last two days now - you can have it back
13:27 Bruce da Moose That reminds me - gotta pack up the battery...
13:28 Bruce da Moose I'll talke whatever rain yo can send, Lois...
13:28 Graham I have the cam
13:28 Bruce da Moose Awesome :-)
13:31 Rich It is warm and muggy here today.
13:31 Rich still have some standing water
13:32 Bruce da Moose Yepp, we still have some puddles in the backyard too.
13:32 Bruce da Moose WE got about 2.7 inches storm total - less than 24 hours.
13:33 Bruce da Moose tropical moisture - gotta love it!
13:33 Loisb ours isn't tropical
13:33 Bruce da Moose Sorry Lois - wish we had it!
13:34 Bruce da Moose Had to clean out the gutters - half the leaves on our trees were jammed into them
13:37 Bruce da Moose gotta go back in awhile
13:37 Loisb sorry
13:44 Graham Plume 1444
13:46 Rich hi guest354532
13:55 lcd Hey everyone.
13:56 Rich hi lcd
13:56 lcd been absent a few days thanks to a little bug in my computer.
13:56 Rich better there than a little bug in you. g
13:56 lcd missed Giantess.
13:57 lcd I agree Rich.
13:58 Rich I think most of us were a sleep at the start.
13:58 Bruce da Moose Rich, sent you a message on FB
13:58 lcd looked like most of the good stuff finished before daylight.
13:59 Rich k
14:02 Loisb Am off for a nap - no excitement for the next 2 hours please
14:02 Loisb bye folks
14:02 Bruce da Moose Seeya!
14:02 Rich bye loisb
14:02 Bruce da Moose Daisy?
14:02 Graham Daisy 1502
14:02 Bruce da Moose DAISY 1502
14:02 Bruce da Moose Rats! :-)
14:03 Graham where?
14:03 Bruce da Moose In our hotel room
14:05 Bruce da Moose Daisy is probably the only geyser that would not benefit from having the streaming cam on the OF INN rooftop.
14:05 Bruce da Moose The base of Daisy would probably wind uop behind those trees on the left
14:06 Derek Goodnight All
14:07 Bruce da Moose nite Derek!
14:10 Graham Lion 1510
14:10 Graham number 6
14:10 Bruce da Moose Graham, your timing is impeccable!
14:10 Bruce da Moose and we hear you're a snazzy dresser too :-)
14:11 Graham glad you like it
14:11 Graham haha.. yeah right, you have seen my pictures
14:11 Bruce da Moose Yes - hence my comment ;-)
14:11 Bruce da Moose Nice Lion for No. 6!
14:12 Bruce da Moose Looks like a few 50 foot droplets there...
14:13 Graham yep, nice eruption. how many more?
14:13 lcd did Giantess shake up Lion?
14:13 Bruce da Moose Keep 'em coming! Have the intervals been a little short?
14:13 Bruce da Moose lcd, the other day, there was a string of Lions at least 11 long...
14:14 Graham not really, pretty normal. that was just over an hour
14:14 lcd I saw that on the old log.
14:14 Graham prior to that series the longest was a 7 series that ended with the July Giantess eruption
14:16 lcd and didn't I see that there may have more than 11, it got dark?
14:16 Bruce da Moose Could be...
14:19 Graham Oblong 1518ie
14:19 lcd did F&M go this morning?
14:20 Michael Shoot. Yesterday, 11:39 I think.
14:20 Rich F&M 11:39 10/16/09
14:20 Michael Shoot. Missed Lion. Maybe we'll get another.
14:20 lcd thanks
14:20 Bruce da Moose I think yesterday for F&M - the listserver said - whoops, Michael & Rich beat me to it!
14:21 Rich Hold on Michael, the way Lion has been going - either nothing or all day. g
14:22 Bruce da Moose The last Lion was not at all weak, so another may be coming
14:22 Rich Wonder how many I captured the other day, guess I could look. g
14:23 lcd what about the F&M on 10/11, was it late afternoon or overmighy?
14:23 Rich Over night I believe
14:24 Graham Pat had it at 1757 on the 11th
14:26 Bruce da Moose That does not make sense - we were there that day, and it did not erupt...was it the 12th?
14:27 Bruce da Moose Rich, did we miss an F&M whiule we there?
14:27 Graham it went overnight 11/12 and Pat had screen shots with what looks like F&M at 1757 on 11th
14:27 Graham so where were you then?
14:27 Rich I called Beehive at 16:32 so we would have been at Lower Hams if it did.
14:28 Bruce da Moose Overnight 11/12 makes perfect sense - then how tye 11th?
14:28 Graham Pat got webcam shots with steam in the right place at 1757
14:28 Graham she posted them to the listserve
14:29 Bruce da Moose But how could it go 2 days in a row? I don;t think thye screen shots show F&M.
14:29 Graham it didnt go 2 days in a row
14:29 Graham - but it could
14:29 Graham just very unlikely
14:29 Graham we need HAL with the F&M date/times :)
14:30 Bruce da Moose Dang it - we watched F&M all day on the 12th, and then we heard it went THAT NIGHT...did we waste our time? The marker was still there...and no sign of a recent eruption...
14:30 Graham went 7th, 11th, 16th
14:30 Bruce da Moose Then the 11th did not move the marker.
14:30 Graham or someone replaced it in the same place
14:31 Rich 12th was Monday
14:31 lcd if the steam Pat reported was F&M, then the listserv reported it overnight 10/11, that would only be a few hours.
14:31 Graham OF 1531
14:31 Graham fast start
14:32 Bruce da Moose Rich - did we leave five minutes too early?
14:32 Graham no. Pat saw steam at 1757 on the webcam in the right spot for the right duration on 11th. On the morning of the 12th the marker was reported as washed
14:32 Rich Probably.
14:32 Rich g
14:33 Graham if you were watching beehive earlier, i doubt you would have gone down basin so close to dark
14:33 Bruce da Moose John and I sat right there at about 1700 plus, and watched a weak, worthless cycle, after you called Beehive.
14:33 Rich We were watching Grand together, then Bill and Bruce went to F&M and I went to Beehive
14:33 Bruce da Moose Dang it.
14:34 Bruce da Moose We literally left 10 minutes too soon.
14:34 Graham were the vents all off when you left? how long had River been on?
14:34 Rich Now I can't remember which Warnock is which.
14:34 Graham Lynn has reported cycles that looked bad for a long time till they bounced back
14:34 Graham Bill is the nice one :)
14:35 Rich Emperor?
14:35 Bruce da Moose The vents looked like garbage cycles, and there was no water in Main, Lower Mortar or Bottom. Zilch.
14:35 Bruce da Moose I like John - funny as a sono***un.
14:36 Graham when I was there angle didn't turn off in the quiet cycle, no MV splashing, then the vents turned on and looked uninteresting .... till late in the cycle they built into a lock
14:36 Graham Lynn wasn't even looking at the vents, she had given up on the cycle
14:37 Bruce da Moose The cycles looked like it was dying, just like all the others I had watched that day. Just Gold and Angle sputtering.
14:37 Graham Bill commented that the water levels looked good and then she looked again
14:37 Bruce da Moose We should have waited :-(
14:37 Graham Lynns comment was the only safe time to leave is wen River is off
14:37 Rich Rewind time.
14:38 lcd I know one Kitt and Poly was leaving and Lynn called them back and they erupted.
14:38 Bruce da Moose Sounds like the only thing you can do is just wait anymore. Oh well...
14:38 Graham well Pats steam cloud is not 100% guarantee but I am pretty convinced when you look at the pic
14:38 Graham yep pretty much back to the "good old days"
14:39 Graham at least its still active :)
14:39 Bruce da Moose Probably right. It was erupting while John, Rich and I stood at Lower Hams getting ready to leave.
14:39 Graham oh well, theres always next year assuming it doesn't take another nap
14:40 Bruce da Moose Vile, accursed steaming pile of rubble
14:40 Graham haha
14:41 Bruce da Moose ;-A)
14:41 Bruce da Moose i MEAN, ;-)
14:42 Graham When you feel a little bit better, you can always watch it on FB.... http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=2017030&id=1470722670&l=f60b930bcb
14:42 Bruce da Moose The lesson is - watch EVERY cycle until it shuts down completely
14:42 Graham it took me years to get to see an eruption with nice light and wind
14:42 lcd ok I'm going to go with 10/11 1757 or overnight.
14:43 Graham W Triplet and Rift going? and Turban?
14:43 lcd I agree with G. probably went at 1757 and no one checked the marker until the next morning.
14:44 Bruce da Moose I have a few too, not the same lighting...
http://www.panoramio.com/user/1314131/tags/Geyser%…
14:44 Bruce da Moose Izat Rift?
14:46 Bruce da Moose Turban usually puts up a bigger cloud...doesn't it?
14:46 Graham nice shots
14:47 Bruce da Moose Thank you - yours are da bomb!
14:47 Graham thats Rift. I think Turban steam was blown behind the trees
14:47 Bruce da Moose That's a good thing :-)
14:47 Graham I always like shots of Mortar
14:47 Graham like the shot of it starting
14:47 Bruce da Moose Mortar is very cool, that vertical surge is beguiling
14:49 Bruce da Moose Well - I have a considerable batch of housework to do, so gotta go - have fun, folks!
14:49 Graham Plume 1548, missed it on streaming
14:50 Graham see ya
14:50 Michael Yup. Almost missed it on still cam.
14:51 lcd later, got to watch a little football....
14:51 Graham bye
14:51 Rich bye bruce
14:54 Rich I caught the 17:00 OF on Sunday 10/11, so we were either at Lower Hams or on our way to Firehole.
14:55 Graham yeah oh well..have to go back next year
14:55 Rich Yep
14:56 Graham I saw a string of them at night with no daylight eruptions, so you never know what its going to do
14:57 Rich Geysers do what geysers do.

16:28 Rich lol
16:28 Rich hi guest948569
16:28 Graham she was nice waiting for Lion to finish
16:29 Rich true
16:29 Graham Rich - you should post your collection of times to the listserve each day so people know whats going on now that nobody is posting anything
16:31 Rich I posted a notice they were available here 11ish and 1700ish
16:31 Rich Going to have to start posting to Ynet also.
16:31 Rich I didn't know if our times would be acceptable on geyserlist.
16:31 Graham listserve would be good for the gazers
16:32 Graham sure, they are webcam times, they note them in the logbook like that too
16:32 Rich Anyone I should ask?
16:33 Graham geyser list will take any geyser news. the times here are good, maybe not post the ones we say are maybes
16:33 Rich true.
16:33 Graham Aurum 1733
16:34 Graham if you can a lot of people will be happy
16:35 Rich I can give it a try, see what happens.
16:35 Graham someone posted a Beehive ie time this morning, you have better data than that
16:35 Rich k
16:36 Graham all the geysers in your list are good ones to post, + Aurum, Castle (we had a time for that today and it was a Major)
16:36 Graham dont need SPlit cone, Turban, Anemone
16:37 Graham Plate too, funny we have not seen it today
16:39 Rich sorry I missed your Castle
16:40 Graham thats ok, may need it tomorrow to figure out when its liely
16:40 Rich k
16:40 Graham likely
16:40 Rich How about OF?
16:41 Graham sure, you can post them too. VC may not be seeing the early and late ones especially as the VC will be closed in a couple of weeks
16:41 Rich k
16:41 Graham you do a great job collecting the data and sharing it would be good
16:44 Graham Plume 1744
16:44 Graham big on static cam too
16:45 Rich I'm frozen at the moment for a couple of more minutes.
16:47 Rich VC closes the 1st?

06:05 Rich The return of Fall.
06:10 Graham yeah. the park gets snowy again tomorrow though
06:19 Graham interesting fog mountain down-basin
06:19 Rich Getting a little support from a geyser.
06:21 Graham nothing big pushing up through it but maybe Grotto is going. looks like just a thick fog bank along the river
06:21 Rich Maybe Beehive before noon.
06:21 Graham or later :)
06:22 Rich g
06:25 Rich hi vw
06:25 Rich Coffee is on.
06:25 vw Good Morning R and G
06:25 vw Same here.
06:25 Graham hey vw
06:26 vw we have a really pink morning going on here in Blgs. thought might be same in park.
06:29 Graham pretty cloudy in the park
06:31 vw ******* my screen. definitely steamy
06:31 vw sorry, hard to TELL on my screen.
06:31 vw brain freeze
06:46 Graham coffee will thaw it out vw
06:47 vw working on that G.
06:49 Rich hi guest145105
06:51 Kent Good morning Rich
06:51 Rich Hi Kent, sorry missed you last night.
06:51 Rich You came thru a little late for me. lol
06:54 vw Graham, with you lead time, whenever you swing the camera I perk up!
06:54 Rich Built in auto motion detector. g
06:55 Rich http://hvo.wr.usgs.gov/cams/HMcam/
06:55 Graham well you have to realize I can't see where the cam is going
06:56 vw huh?
06:56 Graham the only hints you get are here if I tell you
06:56 Graham I click to move it but have no idea if anything is erupting
06:56 Graham unless I caught a hint on the static cam
06:56 vw but i like the idea of the operators having super powers of observation and precognizance!
06:57 Rich lava is flowing
06:57 Graham yeah it is nice, I will change the streaming cam to full screen to watch the se****d burst at Grand after I see it on the cam control
06:57 Graham waiting for Giantess now
06:58 Rich g
06:58 vw might be a few days late for any action on that one G
06:59 vw did anybody ever determine if Vent had an eruption?
07:00 Graham Vault? Lynn reported it
07:00 Graham sun i*****ting the hillside
07:00 vw if the 0448 time was correct, we should have seen vault (SORRY...brain fog...) around 8 or 9
07:01 vw theres my pink.
07:01 vw one more warm day in the park before fall returns later today. about a 50 degree change from last weekend!
07:03 vw gotta go. have a good day all.
07:03 Graham bye
07:03 Rich bye vw
07:04 Rich Should be coming up on an OF.
07:06 Graham it looked like there was steam rising when the light came up so I think we just missed an eruptio
07:07 Rich I don't have anything showing after 06:59, just steam
07:09 Graham looked like steam was rizing from the runoff area though
07:10 Graham given how late it is now, there must have been steam from the runoff :)
07:12 Graham Plume 0811
07:12 Graham at last, a geyser eruption :)
07:13 Rich I'd just like to get a refresh
07:18 Graham OF 0818

07:29 Graham it started in the Riverside spot and then moved left. the wind is blowing around a bit
07:29 Derek Hi Graham
07:32 Rich Ok, Lion start up.
07:33 Graham who knows if it will erupt today?
07:34 Rich That's right we didn't see any the following day after the last marathon.

08:20 Rich  Oct 18, 2009 recap Grotto 08:23ie, OF 08:18, Plume 08:11, Riverside 08:23ie
08:20 lcd Plume 0917
08:21 lcd good morning
08:21 lcd frosty down south this morning
08:22 Rich hi lcd
08:25 cb have waivers on the bw
08:35 Michael Hi. I wanted to post a couple of historical notes about Lion's activity, just in case its pattern has really shifted.
08:35 Graham im back
08:35 Michael From Scott Bryan's "The Geysers of Yellowstone" third edition:
08:37 Graham guess I didn't miss BH
08:37 Michael "Lion has always been a cyclic geyser, but the cycle interals and durations have shown wide variations; at one time the cycle durations were as long as 26 hours, but then the intervals between active phases were as great as 9 days."
08:38 Graham ouch, thats a long wait for Lion - 9 days between series!
08:38 Michael If anyone has the second edition (1985, picture of Steamboat on cover), it has more detail about the chronology.
08:39 Michael I think Lion went dormant for a year following the 1983 Borah Peak earthquake, then reutrned to activity with short series in 1984.
08:40 Graham Grand 1139?
08:40 Michael Looks like Grand from here.
08:40 Graham theres less info in the 4th edition
08:43 Michael Not surprising. There are more known geysers, and Lion's behavior was well entrenched by then.
08:44 Michael BTW I guessed wrong on the second edition date: 1991.
08:46 Graham OF 0945ie
08:47 Graham I think it started 0944 based on static cam
08:47 Michael Grand 09:39 MDT
08:48 Graham oh yeah, thanks Michael :)
08:49 Graham still have not got the hang of correcting time zones in the morning
08:50 Graham looks like a 1C for Grand
08:50 Michael It's even more fun to show up in Yellowstone and forget to adjust your watch. All of the predictions are Wayy off.
08:51 Graham yeah I usually get that one right, and the 24hour cl
08:52 Rich  g
08:53 Graham occasionally I will accidentally push the watch button that changes the time zones and then I get so confused
09:03 Graham Lion had a lot of 9 and 10 eruption series early in 2008 and a 15 eruption series too
09:03 Graham  
http://gosa.org/geyser.aspx?pGeyserNo=LION
09:09 Graham Other than in 2008 and this year, there are no series of 11, only one series of 10 since the logs strated in 98
09:11 Michael Thanks for the info. I didn't think to look there, and I didn't remember that there were long series any time recently.
09:11 Graham so these long series are uncommon over the last decade anyway
09:11 Graham yeah there were long series especially March 2008
09:13 Rich hi guest921902
09:13 Graham only one of 15, and one of 11 that year too, so the 11 series the other day was only the 3'rd resorded that long in the last 12 years. There are some gaps in the data so more are possible too
09:15 Rich And the 11 series could have been longer, morning weather and dark evening.
09:15 Graham yep
09:16 Graham have to quiz Ralph on his data since the summary sheet says longest series interval was 27 hours but the data file has a 30 hour interval...hum
09:16 Graham that was in 2008
09:17 Rich VMW might have info.
09:17 Michael It looks like the long series in 2008 generated series intervals (start-start) of around a day. But the recovery time seems nearly random.
09:18 Michael Very Grand-like...longer erratic intervals seem to go hand in hand with increased burst count. But a lot of good that does you when a 14h interval is capped by a T1C.
09:22 Michael Haven;t been paying attention: did we miss Plume?
09:23 Graham agree Michael - the longest intervals seem to go with some of the more normal series
09:25 Graham Plume 1025
09:26 Derek Camera went mad
09:26 Graham  so we didn't miss Plume
09:26 Derek I had to zoom right back for it to rest
09:26 Derek reset
09:26 Graham yeah the zoom got stuck once for me too, I had the slides zoomed out but it never actually zoomed out
09:27 Derek It was not going where I clicked
09:27 Graham it needs more coffee
09:27 Graham mm speaking of coffee..brb
09:28 Derek It's my fault really. I try to make it move as fast as my old security cameras did, but it dont like it :-)
09:28 Michael Hello Guest73520
09:29 Rich hi guest735201
09:29 Graham the camera needs some stimulus money
09:30 Rich And a telescoping mast.
09:33 Rich  meebo didn't catch my Plume, oh well.
09:42 Rich  wb Kent
09:42 Kent Did I miss BH?
09:43 Rich Not yet
09:43 Kent Thanks

13:17 Tim yes, it's our coldest day of the season here. Nothing like those zero-degree temps at the park last week!
13:18 Rich It was cold.
13:18 Rich Anyone seen any splashing at Beehive?
13:20 Michael Yes. About 10 minutes ago. I'm sure there's been more but I'm mostly watching the static cam.
13:21 Rich ty
13:21 Rich I had to reboot
13:22 Rich brb have to feed the neighbors cats
13:28 Rich The little beasties are fed.
13:34 Michael Might be too late: did we miss Daisy?
13:35 Michael Nice blorshing from Spasmodic in any case.
13:40 Rich I'll see if I can coax Daisy out.

14:02 Rich of course it had to wait for you to come back Graham. g
14:02 Graham yeah, nice of it to wait
14:02 Rich g
14:02 Graham almost 3 hour interval
14:03 Graham if you can see about the same amount of steam from Daisy as you see from Comet, it's due
14:03 Michael Looks like I got back just in time too.
14:03 Graham I didn't think there was quite enough steam but I guess there was
14:08 Graham I gather Kitt was waving at the cam from BH earlier
14:08 Michael Let me see if I can get the Indicator going by running off again.

14:53 Michael Here's a link:
http://www.nps.gov/archive/yell/oldfaithfulcam.htm
14:58 Graham Grands window probably starts around 1625
14:58 Rich This is a link to the webcams were are watching. We are watching the geysers in Yellowstone National Park. There are 5 webcams in YNP.
14:58 Rich 2 at Old Faithful - one Live Streaming and the other refreshes every 30 seconds.
14:58 Rich 2 at Mammoth Hot Springs on the north west edge of the park, both static cams with refreshes about every 30 seconds, and 1 cam at Mt Washburn Fire Lookout station.
14:59 Rich sorry, had to wait for bandwidth to open up so I could get back in Meebo
14:59 cb thanks G. think the same thing
15:01 Graham  hopefully BH Lion and Grand before dark :)
15:01 cb Grand for sure
15:02 Rich Giant
15:02 Graham well you only have just over 2 1/2 hours of its window.....
15:02 Rich and only that much daylight left.
15:03 cb after last weekend, not putting any $ on BH
15:03 Graham nice idea Rich, get Giant into 5 day intervals and a chance for me to see two in Jan
15:03 Rich Here's my two cents.
15:04 Rich Wait one was a slug.
15:04 cb g
15:08 cb Did ya all see BH yesterday?
15:08 Graham yep

15:36 Rich hi guest2110245
15:37 guest2110245 Hi rich, sister of Roadie here, lurking
15:41 Rich We like lurkers, makes the room bigger. g
15:41 Michael Some days it seems like we're all lurking. Especially when there isn't much geyser activity to talk about.
15:41 guest2110245 glad to hear it, i was waiting for Beehive but we're going to take a "sunday drive" soon
15:41 cb would that be sister to BJ?
15:42 guest2110245 no MA
15:42 cb Hi
15:42 guest2110245 it's my only claim to fame in the Park
15:42 cb lol
15:42 Rich Beehive has a way of making us wait. g
15:43 Rich hi mab
15:43 Michael Grand 16:43
15:43 Graham that was quick
15:44 cb Had intuitive power today
15:44 mab lol, I checked the log and discovered I was -in-
15:45 mab it takes a few tries and I forgot to check back to it
15:45 Graham at least we can see the water at Grand this time, hard to see it this morning
15:45 Rich Always nice to find yourself at 'home'.
15:45 guest2110245 I saw Giantess last winter, in person, except there was so much steam I didn't know it
15:45 mab when this morning?
15:46 cb Grand 938
15:46 mab Oh yeah, I texted this person and asked if she saw Giantess!!!
15:46 guest2110245 who me?
15:46 mab thanks- just under 8hrs then?
15:46 guest2110245 It was REALLY steamy, honest, and I didn't know what I was looking for
15:47 Rich Like the last Giantess.
15:48 Rich splashing at BH
15:49 mab So sister, you have to wait to see if Grand does a 2nd burst, then you can ask your kwestion
15:49 Graham 7h5min for Grand, must have gone on the first or second Turban in the window
15:50 Rich Not the 12th.
15:50 Rich g
15:51 Graham Plume 1650
15:52 Graham chance for a second
15:52 Rich Last Sunday Grand went at 15:59
15:53 guest2110245 what is that bubbling in the foreground?
15:53 Graham :(
15:54 cb Yep:(
15:54 Graham its a 1C
15:54 Rich :'(
15:54 Graham that's Split Cone in the foreground
15:54 Graham just does little splashes like that
15:54 Kent But a very nice 1C
15:55 cb Yes.. It was!!!
15:55 Graham yes it was, a wonderful eruption :)
15:55 guest2110245 I've always wondered that that is
15:55 Graham hard to tell from the cam but its up close to Old Faithful
15:55 mab She asked me and I said I didnt get streaming cam, so the mystery is solved.
15:56 Michael The funny thing is, hardly anybody noticed it before there was a video camera sometimes pointing in that direction.
15:56 Graham yeah we often see it when we are watching down to Grand or maybe Daisy
15:56 guest2110245 now i have to dig out a better map of UGB, it got "swooped" away sometime during a housekeeping blitz this sumemr

06:28 CC temps in the middle 30
06:28 Kent Strange day yesterday. Little going on and then all the goodies bunched up at the end. Fun!
06:29 CC guess that is why it is so quiet this morning
06:29 Kent Thunder storm here this morning but still mild. Cold weather holding of until I head to the park for the closing :^(
06:35 Kent Did either of you notice what time it got light enough to see the thermals this morning?

06:48 CC sorry but I too have been watching BH
06:49 CC I will move the cam as soon as OF erupts
06:49 Allan Cool!
06:50 Kent Good morning Alan. BH went at about 1655 yesterday after what we assume was a 34 hour double interval.

06:56 Kent OK, so I was off by 10 minutes. It was still a long wait :)
06:57 CC BH 7:57
06:58 Rich Indicator started 16:56 10/18/09
06:58 CC you all forget BH loves me and I have been away for two days

07:05 cb I got here just in time to see BH

07:22 Bruce da Moose Almost back to pre-Giantess normal variation
07:23 Rich yep
07:23 Rich Waiting to see if Lion does a series today.
07:23 Bruce da Moose Bright red sky here and a southeast wind - that can only mean one thing...
07:23 Bruce da Moose Sprinkly water will be upon us soon...
07:24 Rich That's what I here.
07:24 Rich Red Sky in Morning Sailor take warning.
07:25 Bruce da Moose Do a lot of sailing in Paradise? ;-)
07:25 Rich Actually on Lake Oroville there is a lot and the Forebay.
07:26 Rich brb, garbage day.
07:26 Bruce da Moose True - you're pretty close to LO. Ever take the water route up to Feather FALLS?
07:29 Rich Never been up to Feather Falls
07:32 Rich Hi guest102995
07:32 Bruce da Moose !!! You haven't?
07:32 Rich hi guest698560
07:32 Rich Nope
07:32 Rich To close to home. g
07:32 Bruce da Moose man, if I lived there, it'd be har dto keep me away.
07:33 Rich Guess that is a glowing recommendation, guess I'll have to get a trip planned to go there.
07:33 Bruce da Moose Pretty Long hike, but can be bicycled 90% of the way.
07:34 Rich Guess I better get started on getting the bike in shape and me.
07:34 Bruce da Moose At high water, you can take a boat alomots to its base, but watch the route near the fall - dangerous
07:34 Rich k
07:35 Bruce da Moose The fall is huge - massive runoff volume and over 600 feet tall - an amazing spectacle.
07:36 Rich hi Ham101
07:36 Ham101 Hi! first time to check out this streaming cam. Neat!:)>-
07:36 Rich Great, Welcome

08:11 sparekitty hi everyone.
08:11 Rich A little damp
08:11 Rich No Lions yet
08:11 sparekitty definitely damp here but not rain. just enough to make you annoyed you washed the car...if however you washed the car.
08:12 guest2436476 on a more positive note, most of the forest fires are under control now!
08:12 Rich I got that, leaves and pine needles stuck to the car.
08:12 sparekitty the station fire (near me) is still not out.
08:12 Rich YEAH!!!!
08:12 Rich Amazing
08:12 sparekitty but it's burning so deep in the forest nobody's too worried.
08:13 guest2436476 well no self-respecting forest fire goes OUT until November
08:13 Rich Sort of like the NP policy, let it burn.
08:13 Rich hi guest249213
08:15 guest2436476 is that Daisy?
08:16 guest2436476 guess not
08:16 Rich I'm on the static cam, so Daisy is out of view
08:17 guest2436476 i'm still trying to learn where everything is
08:21 Rich Have you seen the general Reference Photo for the static cam
http://www.nps.gov/archive/yell/tours/livecams/old…

08:33 Bruce da Moose k
08:33 Rich Glad they got there. Thank you for the use of them, made life a lot easier.

08:35 sparekitty i hiked machhu pichu in 2006 without poles and my knees have NEVER been the same. then whitney with only one. only one knee was toast for a while
08:36 Bruce da Moose My knees are still OK, except when I whacked the right one at Pt. Reyes last spring.

08:57 Bruce da Moose What flavor is your oatmeal?\

08:59 Rich sugar and butter
08:59 Bruce da Moose Sugar and Butter is wonderful
09:00 sparekitty brown sugar and butter...just like eating cookie dough
09:00 Bruce da Moose Cream of Wheat is very good - but it REALLY needs added stuff
09:00 Bruce da Moose I always liked maltex. harder to cook, but daggone, what a great flavor!
09:01 sparekitty is that malt-o-meal?
09:01 Rich grits are a Southern thing.
09:01 sparekitty grits are HORRIBLE. looks tasty but then all that SALT!
09:01 Bruce da Moose No, a bit different - malt-o-Meal is more like Cream fo Wheat. Maltex is whole grain and a little gritty.
09:01 Bruce da Moose I love gritrs, but I don;t put salt on them.
09:02 Bruce da Moose Don;t need salt
09:02 Rich I like grits as long as they aren't to runny.
09:02 Bruce da Moose and I lob Wheat Germ onto everything
09:02 Rich Don't like chasing them thru the bacon and eggs.
09:03 Bruce da Moose Well, that will ruin anything, Rich ;-)
09:03 Rich g
09:03 Bruce da Moose polenta - MMMMM!
09:04 Bruce da Moose What grits wish they could be...
09:04 Rich Fried.
09:04 Bruce da Moose Sure!
09:04 Rich What grits were, before bleaching.
09:04 Bruce da Moose yepp
09:05 Bruce da Moose Why do they bleach grits?
09:05 Rich with maple syrup.
09:05 Bruce da Moose Wouldn;t natural corn yellow be nicer anyway?
09:05 Rich It is the process of turning corn in to hominy.
09:05 sparekitty you two are making me hungry!
09:05 Rich Lye bath
09:05 Bruce da Moose OK , but the difference is prtety slim
09:05 Rich YEAH!!
09:06 Rich Food, more food.
09:06 Rich flavor
09:06 Bruce da Moose So hominy is the southern corn equivalent of lutefisk?
09:06 Rich If you happen to be Norwegian. g
09:06 Bruce da Moose I think it takes the flavor out
09:07 Bruce da Moose Well - I AM! :-)
09:07 Rich Uf Da!
09:07 Rich lol
09:07 Bruce da Moose When I was a kid, my grampa used to make lutefisk for Jul.
09:07 Rich I'm sure glad I don't like fish.
09:08 Bruce da Moose I was not as veg back then, so I ate it. It was *very* good; I don't know why people make fun of it.
09:08 Rich Danish pastries for me. g
09:09 Bruce da Moose best part of Jul meal was this concoction Grandma made of cooked apples, whipped cream and cinnamon rusk (and sugar and cinnamon, of course). It does not get any better than that!
09:11 Rich sounds good.
09:11 Bruce da Moose Well, I have PILES of work to do this day - so I will be quiet for a spell. Back later...
09:12 Rich Here we are back talking about food AGAIN!. g
09:13 Rich Food and Geysers, hmmmm???
09:33 Rich Now, I'll take care the cold wet weather, started a fire.
09:37 Rich OF?
09:38 Rich OF ie 10:36:52 wc
09:38 Derek Where?
09:38 Derek I can't see it
09:38 Rich went away. g
09:38 Derek Hmmmm
09:38 Rich must have been preplay
09:39 Rich wb CC
09:39 Rich Preplay
09:39 sparekitty what's that?
09:39 Derek Dome
09:40 sparekitty thanks, derek
09:40 Derek Scott says a Dome initial can be quite high, but I haven't seen one yet
09:40 Bruce da Moose Can't quite see Dome on the statcam.
09:41 Bruce da Moose I've yet to see a Dome, live or virtual
09:41 Derek Even Graham hasn't seen one
09:42 Bruce da Moose I see the drifting steam - that's it
09:42 Bruce da Moose Is it pretty?
09:42 Derek It's died down now
09:43 sparekitty it's definitely something different but not spectacular...
09:43 sparekitty but i am quite the cynic.
09:43 Bruce da Moose You don;t seem so...
09:43 sparekitty pay closer attention...
09:43 Bruce da Moose But I don;t probably seem like a pessimist either...
09:43 sparekitty it's hard to work and get all the chat room nuances, no?
09:44 Bruce da Moose Indeed - was just discussing that topic with Rich this morning
09:45 Derek 10:45 OF
09:47 Bruce da Moose In fact, it is hard - when not speaking face-to-face - to get all the nuance anyway. A perfectly friendly comment can come out sounding mean on a chat group or newsgroup. As I was telling Rich, I usually try to assume the best of a comment...
09:48 Bruce da Moose I mentally place a :) after every comment
09:48 sparekitty that's always the safest route.
09:49 Bruce da Moose Now, there's a fun handle - Hi, smallnhairless!
09:49 sparekitty don't encourage them bruce...
09:49 Bruce da Moose Shucks, he/she went away.
09:50 Bruce da Moose hey, you never know when a perosn wil be genuinely keen on geysers ;-)
09:50 sparekitty yeah, but you can usually guess pretty good!
09:50 Bruce da Moose I Lost on Jeopardy
09:51 Bruce da Moose Weird Al Yankovic song
09:51 Derek Nice Anemone
09:51 Bruce da Moose Biggere than usual?
09:51 Derek Looked so.
09:52 Bruce da Moose I was surprised to see both Big and Little Anemome playing last week - sometimes one overshadows the other.
09:53 Derek They apparently make gurgling sounds
09:53 Bruce da Moose The Big Anemone surely does - it plays, then all the water drains bakc into the hole. Fun!
09:53 sparekitty lots of strange sounds and smells in UGB
09:54 Bruce da Moose I love the sounds and smells - the earth sends us delightful messages...
09:57 Bruce da Moose next time I go there, especially to Norris, I think I will take some vials and baking soda. Try some fun qualitative experiements...
09:57 sparekitty i think that's noy allowed...
09:57 sparekitty not allowed
09:57 Bruce da Moose Possibly ;-)
09:58 Bruce da Moose I would be VERY careful not to harm anything
09:58 Rich So did we have a Dome?
09:58 Rich g
09:58 sparekitty you could prob get away with sampling at mammoth though.
09:58 sparekitty boardwalks through the water and sinter and all
09:59 Bruce da Moose Mammoth has no acid water. Only Norris and Mud Volcano really does
09:59 Bruce da Moose It would be easy to dip an ounce of cool runoff downstream of a spring
09:59 sparekitty you're right...but could you really get near the acid runoff at norris?
09:59 sparekitty don't recall how close the boardwalk is to the runoff channel
09:59 Bruce da Moose Sure - it's everywhere.
10:00 Bruce da Moose Not that storng - like vinegar
10:01 Derek Starting to get dark here. I'll pull the blind down
10:01 Bruce da Moose Even at the UGB and LGB, the water is near neutral to basic.
10:02 Rich wouldn't litmus paper be easier?
10:02 Bruce da Moose Lassen Volcanic also has strong acidic waters.
10:02 Bruce da Moose Litmus paper is not as much fun ;-)
10:03 sparekitty boys will be boys...
10:03 Bruce da Moose Until the end
10:04 Rich My nose is almost thru peeling.
10:04 Bruce da Moose We built a geyser model (Coleman stove, flask, vertical tube and top reservoir) - worked well!
10:04 Bruce da Moose My nose is almost done peeling too, but My lower lip is still fissured. Ouch.
10:05 Bruce da Moose Woot woot, hello!
10:05 woot woot =]
10:06 woot woot hey hey
10:06 Bruce da Moose We are watchuing yellowstone geysers here...
10:06 woot woot any gurls?
10:06 Derek Not unless Old faithful is a girl
10:07 Bruce da Moose he didn't wait to find out!
10:07 Derek Courting methods have certainly changed since I was young
10:07 Bruce da Moose lol!
10:08 Bruce da Moose Well, tons of work - see y'all later, friends...
10:08 sparekitty see you later, bruce.
10:15 Derek We don't have webcams. We are here to watch live video of geysers erupting at Yellowstone National Park, USA

11:01 Bruce da Moose maybe - but mine has persisted since last week so far...and it remains correct! (I am so boring...)
11:01 Rich Mine seems to go away, doesn't stay after closing.
11:06 Bruce da Moose Must be a cookies-enabled thingie
11:07 Bruce da Moose I always enable my cookies to the maximum extent possible :-)
11:08 Rich ah
11:08 Rich might be
11:08 Bruce da Moose better to enable than toss, right?
11:08 Rich I agree.
11:08 Bruce da Moose Speaking of which - time for a cookie
11:08 Rich g
11:09 Bruce da Moose mmm - choco chip
11:11 Bruce da Moose I must say - Pump is becoming quite an excellent little geyser
11:11 Rich Might just be a brownie kinda day.

11:26 CC in Yellowstone the weather like the geysers is ever changing
11:26 Bruce da Moose yepp - like when i was a kid in new England.
11:26 Bruce da Moose Here in California we get excited over a fogbank.

11:30 Rich Moblie Album link http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=2015527&id=1427016656&l=0e88fd5228
11:30 Bruce da Moose LC park has one of the best wooden coasters I have ever been on. A fantastic ride!
11:32 Bruce da Moose Rich, I get the impression that the rainbow in your capture might not be from the geyser spray...
11:32 Bruce da Moose ...although what it comes form, I cannot be sure
11:34 Rich Moisture in the air and sunlight.
11:35 Bruce da Moose Also in CN - they have the best highway rest area visitor centers I have seen anywhere. In one we stopped at this summer, it was manned by a knowledgeable, engaging volunteer. Quite a feature in this day and age!
11:35 Bruce da Moose Sorry, CT
11:36 Bruce da Moose Rich, the sunlight is what confused me - I didn't see any! :-)
11:37 Rich Lens aberation
11:37 Rich I sure didn't paint it in.
11:37 Bruce da Moose You think? The size and angle sure is weird for a noontime picture...
11:38 Bruce da Moose Must be from the general raininess.
11:40 Rich I'm just an observer, not an analyst.
11:41 Bruce da Moose OK, have it your way.
11:41 Bruce da Moose ;-)
11:43 Rich :(
11:43 Bruce da Moose ???

12:10 Derek Didn't feel like much
12:10 Rich I'm not sure of anything.
12:10 Rich If I don't enter it, then I'll never know.
12:11 Derek I have a bit of a headache
12:11 Rich Now I know that it could be either Depression or one of the Dwarfs.
12:11 CC take something before it gets too bad
12:12 Ham101 Is that Sawmill you just zoomed in on
12:12 CC yes
12:13 Derek If the wind wasn't shaking the cam tree so much we could zoom in closer.
12:13 CC its very stormy now in the basin

12:15 CC now I am on crested pool which is a favorite of mine

16:04 Ryan Test stand was scattered in like 20 peices
16:05 Rich wow
16:05 Ryan Thats what i said
16:06 Ryan But we figured out what happened
16:06 Rich To cold?
16:07 Ryan NO there is a piece of paper wrapping th outside of the propellant
16:08 Ryan it came "off" (you could say) so there was WAY more propellant burning than could be handled
16:08 Ryan the motor casing overpressurized
16:08 Ryan it sounded like a gunshot
16:08 Rich Ah
16:08 Ryan my 3rd failure like that out of 100motor firing
16:09 Rich Faulty casing?
16:09 Ryan that was my 99th motor firing, second firing was ok
16:09 Ryan No faulty assembly by me :(
16:14 cb Rich did the VC post a new time on the static cam after that last OF?
16:14 cb all I'm getting is a white screen on static
16:15 Rich hmm, always the engineers fault. g
16:16 Ryan yeah

17:10 Allan That's fine vw. Wondered if you had more.
17:10 vw guess there isn't anybody on the ground to tell us one way or the other...
17:10 Rich cb saw it on the live also
17:10 vw ok.
17:10 Ryan so did i

17:13 Allan Are we thinking BH this evening?
17:13 Rich Interval has been 13 -15h
17:14 cb It looked like Lion was trying just as OF erupted
17:14 Rich I hope we missed one. g
17:15 Rich Of ie 18:14:12 wc
17:18 vw oohhh. denser fog!
17:19 vw this is too funny!
17:20 Allan We need strategically place microphones so we can listen to eruptions when it's like this.
17:20 vw we need somebody THERE year around A!
17:20 Rich Infrared cam
17:20 vw I volunteer!
17:20 Rich lol
17:20 Rich meeeeee
17:20 Rich meeeee
17:20 Rich lol
17:21 Rich shucks vw beat me. :(
17:21 cb Grand 1821 ie
17:21 cb not sure but thinks that was a second burst
17:21 Rich good catch in the fog
17:21 cb VERY uncertain
17:22 Rich Just have to watch.
17:22 cb way to foggy
17:22 cb have really bad fps rate......hum
17:23 cb fps rate is all over the place....2.77 and the next second it .19
17:25 vw haven't been on much lately. many still having problems with connection and freezing frames.
17:25 vw kinda strange how its been lately.
17:25 cb I've been fine till switched to the LT
17:26 Allan It's getting colder. Electrons don't move well when they shiver:D
17:26 vw :D
17:26 cb lol
17:26 cb Thats a good one Allan
17:30 cb very frustrating
17:31 cb have to use the presets....and leave it there. fps is down to .11
17:34 vw cb, can you do the zooms on the presets or are they set for both view and zoom?
17:36 cb yep I can, but w the fps rate so low it takes along time for the cam to respond
17:36 vw glad we don't have moving creatures tonight than!
17:37 cb have to be careful not to 'click' to many times or well be looking at the nose hairs of a crow....or over to dome in split second
17:37 cb after waiting
17:37 vw weeeee!
17:37 Allan It's odd that the speed of cam resp;onse is tied into the refresh rate.
17:37 vw name that nose hair!!!
17:37 Rich Hi Ham101
17:38 Allan That must be a safety feature so you don't mess the cam up by moving it into impossible places
17:38 cb took 20 seconds to back out after I click on the icon
17:38 Allan Looks like Daisy
17:39 vw yeap.
17:39 vw when did you first notice it A?
17:39 cb can't get the cam to respond
17:39 vw its gonna get obscured by steam from Grand

06:11 CC hi Kent
06:12 Kent Good morning CC and Derek. Still a bit dark for gazing.
06:12 CC if you look at the skyline it looks like it could be F &M
06:15 Kent I'm looking at Static and Streaming both and it does look really foggy down-basin. Hopefully we will get a report if anything is going on.
06:17 Kent 33° and 96% humidity makes for a lot of fog in general.
06:17 CC OF 7:17'
06:18 Kent That will give the VC an early first prediction.
06:22 CC Plume 7:22
06:25 Derek Hi Kent

08:12 Rich Addition?
08:16 Rich Must be HOT at YNP, shorts and tank top?
08:35 Bruce da Moose Certainly LOOKS toasty!
08:36 Rich What we got in the back?
08:36 Rich F&M?
08:38 Bruce da Moose Maybe!
08:38 Bruce da Moose If it persists for half an hour, it's a mighty good bet
08:38 Rich It did yesterday.
08:39 Bruce da Moose What did? F&M showed up yesterday?
08:39 Rich Same place as this one.
08:39 Rich I posted the captures to FB
08:40 Bruce da Moose Hmm - well, that plume there now looks like Riverside
08:41 Rich Pretty far left
08:41 Bruce da Moose In a strong wind
08:41 Bruce da Moose I won't guess anymore - too many variables
08:42 Rich yep
08:54 Bruce da Moose Hi GreekD2486 and Sparekitty!
08:55 Rich hi sparekitty
08:55 Rich hi GreekD2486
08:56 Bruce da Moose Do I recall GreekD as a geyser enthusiast per YouTube?
08:56 Bruce da Moose PLUME 0957
08:57 Derek Grand maybe?
08:57 Bruce da Moose Looks a wee soft for Grand - but maybe tyhe stream shows better
08:58 sparekitty hey guys. how's everything going?
08:58 sparekitty i'm actually not inthe office today but had a minute to check in.
08:59 GreekD2486 Gah sorry server problems, yeah i'm the same geyser enthusiast.
09:00 Bruce da Moose Hi! Nice to see you here! Here is your excellent YouTube Geyser video set:
http://www.youtube.com/user/GreekD2486
09:03 Bruce da Moose Sparekitty, life is good! Hope you're well today :-)
09:05 Bruce da Moose BTW, Rich, while we were there - and I did not notice at first, but I did later on - we saw several MINOR eruptions of Link Geyser down near F&M
09:05 Rich k
09:06 Bruce da Moose Link, you may recall, is the large pool that sits atop the rise just across the bridge and river from F&M. On the left side as you walk downhill to the bridge.
09:07 Bruce da Moose In a minor, it boils or bursts to a few feet (maybe 10 max) and then emits a lot of water overflow into the river.
09:07 Rich ok, ty
09:08 Bruce da Moose A Major eruption, which few of use have seen, is a major spectacle, throwing out tons of water and in the past has ruined the walkway prior to good construction.
09:08 Rich OF ie 10:08:22 wc
09:09 Bruce da Moose Well, you might know it - I have work to do - so I need to withdraw for now. A fun day, folks!
09:10 Rich later Bruce, ty for the info

10:52 Rich Hi Allan
10:53 Allan Hi Rich. I just dropped in for a minute. Not staying this time.
10:53 Rich k
11:09 Kent Not Grand?
11:10 Rich I've been trying to decide.
11:12 Rich I have captures for about 10m
11:12 Kent Sorry, but we need a Grand cam and a F&M Bluetooth device. If only I ran the zoo.........
11:12 Rich lol
11:13 Rich And a night vision, a thermal imaging, a - - -
11:14 Kent Some nights I really wish for night vision. Especially BH.
11:14 Rich yep
11:14 Rich And on some cold, snowy Thursday's.
11:15 Kent Do you think we are being obsessive and should seek medical help?
11:15 Rich Well, medical help, yes, obsessive, that will take some pondering. g
11:15 Rich Out of my way, I got to get back to the monitor.
11:23 Rich hi vw
11:23 Rich hi guest
11:23 vw Hi all.
11:28 Kent Hi vw
11:34 Rich Lion ie 12:32:39 wc
11:36 Rich Anyone have an earlier time for Lion?
11:37 vw Sorry R. not watching the clock.
11:37 Rich np
11:37 Rich I was looking at Grand captures.
11:39 Rich I think I'm going to have to agree with Bruce that the earlier activity at F&M area was probably Riverside.
11:39 vw when was that R?
11:40 Rich omp
11:41 Rich Began around 09:35
11:41 vw sorry to be a pest, but haven't had time to review logs and sometimes hard to mine data from them amongst all the other stuff
11:41 vw ok. thanks
11:42 Rich np
11:42 Rich That my job. g
11:42 vw so we are sure that yesterdays mention (was it yesterday?) of F&M was a negative?
11:42 Rich And you are never a pest.
11:42 Rich No confirmation or denial.
11:42 vw oh well, i am sure some would disagree!
11:42 Rich to my knowledge
11:42 Rich I didn't see any geyserlist reports.
11:43 Rich Don't worry about 'them'.
11:43 vw not likely to be seeing many geyser reports for the next several months now.
11:43 Rich I thought maybe a rogue reporter would be in the basin. g
11:43 vw we just won*t see confirmed reports on things downbasin
11:44 vw yeap, knowing who and when will be important
11:44 Rich Just have to learn location, location, location, better. g
11:45 vw maybe just too many variables on the cams, both stream and static to be able to *call* down basin events.
11:46 Rich And with the wind shears different
11:46 vw I would hate to rely on a call here then find out later not good.
11:46 Rich I've been working on a Resource page for here
http://donsplace.orgfree.com/altOFchat/OFCClinks.h…
11:46 vw the sky on the static cam is really cool.
11:46 vw ok. will check it out. thx!
11:46 Rich At least we would learn something.
11:47 Rich np, no rush
11:47 Rich Any additions/deletion let me know.
11:47 Rich What you find helpful?
11:47 vw will let you know. if not too tired tonight will check it out.
11:47 Rich I just felt bad when I didn't have something for a visitor the other day.
11:48 Rich not a biggie.
11:48 vw what were they looking for?
11:48 vw there is the ynp page for geyser locations on the static cam.
11:48 Rich Reference photo of the geysers
11:49 vw did you refer them to the ynp page>
11:49 Rich yes, but by the time I got there and back (given computer problem) they were gone.
11:49 vw well, cant help people who dont have the patience to wait a few!
11:49 Rich Didn't have it at my 'finger' tips.
11:50 Rich Believe they were on Live cam also
11:50 Rich And still don't have a good working reference for that cam.
11:50 Rich Derek has a partial.
11:50 vw again, too many variables.
11:51 vw all we can really offer them is confirmed geysers within the cam range.
11:51 Rich I might be able to id some now that I've been there.
11:51 Rich yep
11:51 Rich Just hated for a newbie to go away wanting.
11:51 vw cant help all of the people all of the time...
11:52 Rich I know, but it is in the 'genes'. g
11:52 vw yeah, i know. as soon as i typed that i thought hmmmmm that should be my mantra!
11:52 Rich lol
11:53 Rich You do what you can.
11:53 vw when you can
11:53 vw Lots of play from OF
11:53 Rich We all just have to pick up the slack.
11:53 Rich yes
11:53 Rich Getting time
11:53 vw i cant tell if just steam or water too
11:54 Rich blowing directly at the static cam
11:55 vw heading back to the office. Hope everyone has a good day!
11:55 vw bye.

12:46 GreekD2486 Do you know when the last no indicator was?
12:46 Rich omp
12:47 Rich Beehive indicator 10/19/09 07:50
12:48 Rich probably was an overnight but I haven't seen a report.
12:49 Rich And everything has turned to steam so not easy to tell now.
12:51 guest31578 should be about time, I can stay til a little after 1400
12:51 Rich Although with a ?15h interval could be anytime now.
12:54 Rich How's school?
12:55 Rich hi bojo
12:56 bojo heool Rich
12:56 bojo hello. I mean
12:56 Rich Plume ie 13:55:33 wc
12:56 Rich cyber speak, is ok.
12:57 Rich probably wasn't Plume
13:01 Rich Static cam froze for me at 13:57:21, got another 6 min.
13:02 guest31578 hard to tell today, that could be Aurum but I am not on stream cam
13:06 Rich Anyone get a time on OF?
13:06 bojo not here
13:06 Rich ty
13:06 GreekD2486 I got 14:04 on the streaming cam
13:07 guest31578 gees I tried to type the time and got a msg not to send phone numbers!
13:08 Rich Meebo doesn't like numbers
13:08 Rich start with the name
13:08 guest31578 Greeks time is a minute earlier than i had on still cam so go with that one anyway
13:09 Rich k, ty r
13:09 Rich i got a refresh

13:15 Rich nope
13:19 Rich Hi Kent
13:20 Rich Pump ie 14:19:19 wc
13:20 Kent Hi Rich. My favorite geyser certainly is taking its time.
13:20 Rich putting out lots of 'steam' tho
13:21 Rich Hi Bruce
13:21 Rich BH is doing one of its teasers
13:21 guest31578 I should change my nikname to a thermal feature, any good ideas?
13:22 Bruce da Moose Hello, Beehive watchers...
13:22 Rich Oct 20, 2009 recap Daisy 10:24ie, Grand ?12:00:04ie, Lion 11:12:02ie, 12:32:39ie, 13:33:14ie, OF 07:17, 08:28:50ie, 10:08:22ie, 11:34:35ie, 13:05:13ie, 14:04, Plume 07:22, 08:42, 09:57, 13:38:46ie, Pump 11:49:15ie, 14:19:19ie, Riverside ?09:35,
13:23 Bruce da Moose Thanks, Rich - how were the Lions? Especially that last one?
13:24 Rich Looked like a normal set
13:24 Bruce da Moose Was the last pretty big or wimpy?
13:24 Rich Just waiting now to see if we get anymore.
13:25 guest31578 the last one was short n sweet, static at least
13:25 Bruce da Moose Short & sweet? not sure how to take that - short is not so good, but sweet can be decent enough to expect another...
13:26 Rich 2m duration fairly tall
13:26 Bruce da Moose At 1,000 miles away, just trying to cling to any hopeful tidbit I can get :-)
13:26 Rich lol
13:26 Bruce da Moose 2m and tall is good...
13:27 Bruce da Moose I learned two things with this last visit -
13:27 Rich Don't travel with Rich?
13:27 Bruce da Moose 1 - never walk away from F&M at all if it's more than 3 days; and
13:27 Rich g
13:27 Bruce da Moose 2 - Never walk away from Beehive at all.
13:28 Rich lol
13:28 Bruce da Moose Sorry Rich, you were too good a travel companion!
13:28 Rich Put up a tent out there.
13:28 Rich ty
13:28 Bruce da Moose One needs to subdivide one's self and be in at LEAST two places at once, one BH and one F&M
13:29 Rich I reviewed the 09:35 eruptions and I think I agree with you that it was Riverside
13:29 Bruce da Moose ... and make sure you reserve and arm and a leg for Fountain and Giantess respectively
13:30 Bruce da Moose OK - hard to know, but I trust your judgment
13:30 Rich or have wifi and 2 people with streaming cams on their computers.
13:30 Bruce da Moose When was last F&M?
13:30 Rich confirmed - F&M 10/16/09 11:39
13:31 Bruce da Moose LION already - 1432?
13:31 Rich an hour
13:31 Bruce da Moose Quite short for Lion intervals, but hey - who's complaining?
13:32 Bruce da Moose So F&M is now "due", if that was not it this morning (or yesterday)
13:32 Rich Right. g
13:32 Rich This is a much bigger Lion than the last one.
13:33 Bruce da Moose Decent Lion for #4 in series
13:34 Bruce da Moose Well - more work to do. watch for the Beemer!
13:34 Rich Gotcha
13:41 Rich hi guest163133
13:50 Derek 14:50 Plume
13:54 Bruce da Moose I was just reading back - I like Guest31578's idea of naming one's self after a thermal feature. I would suggest, however, to avoid confusion, a feature that does not erupt in the UGB.
13:55 Bruce da Moose That could be a beautiful spring OR a geyser that erupts in another basin.
13:55 Bruce da Moose I'd name myself Pathetic Little Hole, but unfortunately THAT one is visible on both cams ;-)
13:56 Rich hi guest249213
13:58 guest31578 True, if I was Aurum it might get confusing. I was thinking of Peanut Pool. :P
13:59 Rich hi guest532259
13:59 Bruce da Moose Peanut Pool! :-D Very good!
13:59 Derek Goodnight All
13:59 Rich nite Dereke
14:00 Bruce da Moose Goodnight Derek, Mr. Steamboat himself :-)
14:00 Derek Hmmm
14:00 guest31578 But something out of range of the cams would be better
14:00 Derek Better than Daisy
14:00 Bruce da Moose A tip of the hat to your immense and beneficial presence....
14:00 guest31578 Vixen!
14:01 guest31578 Collapsed Crater just doesnt have a good riing to it
14:01 Bruce da Moose If you're a lady, Vixen might be - fun.
14:01 Rich g
14:01 Bruce da Moose Another meeting, friends - gotta run.
14:02 guest31578 I was waaay off on my guess for Beehive so I gotta go too. Good luck and keep your eyes on the prize.
14:06 Rich Hi CC
14:09 Rich <Was nice to see you CC>
14:11 Rich hi rhbm
14:12 RHBM howdy
14:13 RHBM I was checking to see if one of my collegues was on today--Ham101, I think is the name she picked.
14:13 RHBM so what are we watching?
14:14 Rich Ham was in yesterday and the day before, haven't see them today.
14:14 RHBM cool. a real hoot, that one is!
14:16 Kent Rich, did I miss Beehive?
14:16 Rich Had lots of activity just before 14:00
14:16 Rich Nope
14:16 Rich Still waiting Kent
14:16 Rich Splashing had died off.
14:17 Kent OK, I am with you for the next couple of hours.
14:18 Rich I hope you brought a snack. g
14:18 GreekD2486 Daisy
14:19 GreekD2486 15:17 i think
14:19 CC Castle 15:17
14:19 Kent Daisy is not to be be sneezed at. A very fine sput.
14:19 GreekD2486 oh woah wry that is castle
14:19 GreekD2486 *sry
14:20 RHBM My son's favorite geyser.
14:20 RHBM I'm a Great Fountain type myself.
14:21 Rich So for those of us that are unable to see around corners - Castle not Daisy?
14:21 RHBM DH wants to know what's to the right of castle?
14:21 GreekD2486 Not Daisy
14:22 Rich Is it going all the time?
14:22 CC to the right of castle is crested pool
14:22 RHBM thanks
14:23 GreekD2486 Castle has paused for at least two minutes now
14:23 CC I noticed that
14:24 RHBM what is streaming cam looking at now?
14:24 GreekD2486 of
14:29 RHBM See y'all later!
14:29 Rich bye RHBM
14:36 CC Lion 14:34
14:39 Rich Lion ie 14:37:25 wc
14:39 CC Lion should be 15:34
14:41 Rich gee, I wonder where I was.
14:41 Rich g
14:47 Kent Not payiying attention, but I am very happy to see Lion
14:48 Rich Going for 6th.
14:54 Rich ~~
14:56 Ryan Hello All
14:57 Ryan Has lion not gone since 1434
14:57 Rich 15:34
14:58 Rich Hi Ryan
14:58 Ryan Hi Rich, it went at 1534
14:58 Rich Was number five.
14:58 Rich yes
14:58 Ryan Ok so next should be about 1640 +/-15-20mins
15:00 Rich Running today right at 60m +/- a couple m.
15:00 Ryan Wow
15:01 CC Just to let you know that Castle was a minor
15:01 Ryan Do u think its a Giantess effect very long but very regular lion series
15:01 Ryan IF its even in a series
15:01 CC it is now not predictable
15:01 Ryan Thanks CC!
15:01 CC don't know about the effect of Giantess
15:02 Ryan yeah i was just wondering
15:02 Ryan what if perhaps its not on a series, is it erupting constantly every hour ALL day light hours?
15:04 Graham hello
15:04 Ryan Heyy Graham
15:06 Rich Hi Graham
15:06 Graham whats happening
15:06 Graham does CC have the cam?
15:06 Rich Beehive Watch
15:06 Rich I believe so
15:07 Rich hi guest520072
15:07 Graham so we are hoping for a double interval before dark?
15:09 Rich we are at 16h double now.
15:09 Ryan is there TWO steam plumes by Little Cub
15:10 Graham maybe from lioness behind it?
15:10 Ryan Yeah... Its just a surprise for me to see two plumes instead of one
15:11 Graham course it was probably just blowing steam from lil cub
15:18 Ryan Hi Bruce
15:18 Bruce da Moose Howdy, R
15:19 Ryan Im watching 211grry's video of Giantess Geyser, description says its not a major, but it seems pretty big
15:21 Graham ok, have not seen it
15:21 Graham Giantess doesn't have majors...??
15:21 Bruce da Moose I wonder if it is even proper to differentiate between Giantess "majors" and "minors" - there is so much variation in them that it almost does not make sense.
15:21 Bruce da Moose AFAIK, Giantess has water, steam and mixed phase eruptions.
15:22 Ryan afaik?
15:22 Bruce da Moose Most of them involve a bit of all three these days.
15:22 Bruce da Moose As Far As I Know
15:22 Ryan o ok
15:24 Graham sounded like a Water eruption from Lynns report
15:24 Bruce da Moose Almost like saying that if Grand bursts only once, it's a minor, and if it has a 2nd or third, it's a major. It does not capture what is really happening.
15:24 Rich Bruce there is a FB msg from Yellowstone Association about 3 Otters playing in the Madison.
15:24 Bruce da Moose Cool! We love otters :-)
15:24 Ryan Im uploading the video i captured of Giantess on 10/14/2009
15:25 Michael Hello. just to toss my two cents in, the 09:35:31 cloud looked an awful lot like F&M to me at the time. What was the consensus opinion here?
15:25 Graham I saw nothing
15:26 Graham was not online
15:27 Ryan me neither, i was on the static for two hours this morning and saw NOTHING
15:28 Michael Was it around that time? I was on static too...
15:28 Rich I thought so also until reviewing my captures, then it looked more like Riverside being blown left.
15:28 Bruce da Moose In Rich We Trust
15:29 Ryan lol
15:29 Bruce da Moose Compadres, sad to say, I have to go home - see you later or tomorrow. Godspeed Beehive for y'all!
15:30 Rich Frome 09:35 - 09:58 there was steam in the area
15:30 Rich later
15:30 Ryan See ya Bruce
15:31 Michael Someone will take pictures for you, Bruce.
15:31 Rich I did post some I caught yesterday in the same general area of F&M to FB http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=2015527&id=1427016656&l=0e88fd5228
15:31 Graham Lion 1630
15:32 Rich I'll work on uploading this mornings captures.
15:34 Ryan Beautiful Lion.
15:36 Ryan Plume 1635? or steam from OF
15:36 Graham didn't see Ryan, wasn't watching close enough
15:38 Graham that looked like Riverside Rich
15:38 Michael Just took a look at Rich's captures from yesterday. Conditions are bad/windy enough that I can't say anything with confidence.
15:41 Ryan  
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n7yZBz33GEY
15:41 Ryan link to the Giantess Video i uploaded today
15:43 Rich working on todays will be a bit.
15:44 Michael No hurry here. I'm doing about three other things and just occasionally stopping by to check the cam/conversation.
15:45 Graham nice video capture Ryan
15:45 Ryan ty
15:49 Graham OF 1649
15:52 Ryan g2g brb
15:53 Rich give it a minute and they should be up, hopefully in choronological order, 16 images
15:55 Rich Hi Allan
15:55 Allan Hi Rich, anything exciting happen today?
15:55 Rich Still no Beehive.
15:56 Rich Trying to get a concensus on if F&M went at 09:35.
15:56 Allan You mean no Giant, Giantess, or Steamboat??? :D
15:56 Rich http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=2015527&id=1427016656&l=0e88fd5228
15:56 Rich none of the above.
15:57 Allan I like your Halemaumau pictures
15:58 Rich Very dramatic, Lois has been watching it for about 8 months.
15:59 Rich I should get in there and put the complete name.
15:59 Allan I assume she's watching it on a webcam
16:00 Allan BH looks daed as a doorknob
16:00 Graham maybe they missed it today
16:02 Allan Hi Graham. I find it hard to imagine that Rich would miss BH :)
16:02 Rich Images appear to be up.
16:03 Rich Lois went to Hawaii at the end of May spent 2 wks. one week just around that volcano.
16:04 Rich And yes most of the time watching on the webcam http://hvo.wr.usgs.gov/cams/HMcam/
16:05 Rich Hopefully some of this is getting thru.
16:05 Graham did you see Grand and Depression today RIch?
16:06 Allan Your last link came thru, if that's what you mean.
16:06 Allan Is that Oblong?
16:06 Rich k
16:06 Graham looks like Grotto
16:06 Rich More like Grotto
16:06 Allan Thanks, G
16:08 Graham steam at Daisy, looks like it has a while yet
16:08 Michael I think Depression was at 15:00
16:08 Rich I'm not quite ready to do a recap. g
16:09 Graham Grand 1200 and Depression 1500 from Pat
16:11 Rich Oct 20, 2009 recap Castle 15:17 minor, Daisy 10:24ie, Grand 12:00:04ie, Lion 11:12:02ie, 12:32:39ie, 13:33:14ie, 14:32, 15:34, 16:30,
16:11 Allan Be back later.
16:11 Rich OF 07:17, 08:28:50ie, 10:08:22ie, 11:34:35ie, 13:05:13ie, 14:04, 16:49, Plume 07:22, 08:42, 09:57, 13:38:46ie, Pump 11:49:15ie, 14:19:19ie, Riverside ?09:35,
16:18 Rich On Mobile Uploads to FB, when you reach 100 images it rolls over to a new album.
16:25 Rich I didnt' realize how much energy it takes to upload images, I'm tired out.
16:26 Graham pictures?
16:27 Rich Just the captures, was stressing trying to get them uploaded before people had to leave.
16:27 Graham Daisy 1726
16:27 Rich I have some YNP photos almost ready to upload, maybe if I stay awake , I'll get a few up tongiht.
16:28 Graham thats ok Rich, I can wait :)
16:28 Ryan me too...
16:28 Rich I had them almost ready this morning.
16:28 Rich I want to get them up, I want to see them. lol
16:30 Rich Trying to do them in chronological orer so I can remember which is which.
16:30 Rich order
16:32 Graham right...like that's going to help :)
16:32 Rich I can keep the locations in order in my head.
16:33 Rich When you walk slowly you have time to log them.
16:33 Rich g
16:34 Ryan BH s splshing
16:34 Graham yeah I know what you mean, walking along the boardwalk taking pics, the sequence can help
16:36 Graham Lion 1735 - number 7?
16:41 Michael That would be really nice if Lion started a long series every morning.
16:42 Graham every other morning Mike, it has to rest a day too
16:42 Graham hi cb
16:46 Michael I could live with that. Actually I worry that Lion initial eruptions (one of my favorites) are going to be really difficult to catch if this keeps up...
16:50 Rich hi guest395062
16:50 Rich hi cb
16:55 cb Hi all...was reading the log. how is everyone
16:56 Ryan good u?
16:58 Michael It's not a weekend. Wi***** were.
16:58 vw Hi all.
16:58 cb Hey vw
16:59 cb whats up?
16:59 Michael Hello.
16:59 vw luckily my feet. tired!
16:59 cb lol
16:59 cb me too!
16:59 cb hi Michael
16:59 vw how is everyone this evening?
17:00 cb I good, getting dinner ready! how u?
17:00 vw tired enough that my dinner will consist of whatever i can find and can eat with my fingers.
17:00 cb I understand that!!!
17:01 cb thats when Cambells comes in handy
17:01 vw :D
17:01 Kent Hi vw
17:01 Michael Be careful. Don't eat your fingers too.
17:01 vw but that would require a can opener, a pan or a microwave, a spoon, a bowl...all things that might be beyond my ability tonight!
17:02 vw good point Michael! I will be careful. I promise...ouch!
17:03 Rich hi vw
17:03 Rich hi munir_ini
17:03 vw hi Rich
17:04 vw so are we on BH watch?
17:04 vw i figured it would have gone while i wasn't watching!
17:04 Rich GEt the soup in a bowl, heat and peel.
17:04 vw gotta go check the logs. brb
17:05 Rich It probably went while I WAS watching. g
17:08 vw there hasn't been a BH seen here since yesterday morning? or am i missing something in the logs?
17:11 Michael None reported today.
17:11 vw thanks Michael. surprised am I!
17:11 Graham should have gone overnight
17:13 vw so given the somewhat longer intervals that have been observed, this could be a BH-less day.
17:15 Rich One more to add to the collection.
17:15 cb has just over an hour to do its thing....fingers and toes ctrossed
17:15 Graham notice that nobody wants to respond cb
17:15 Ryan hehe
17:15 Rich Five more photos up at FB, none geysers, sorry. http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=2020175&id=1427016656&l=3c5b920916
17:15 Ryan hi vw
17:15 vw hi Ryan.
17:16 Rich I'll wait. g
17:16 Rich Got this much time invested, what's another hour.
17:16 vw it certainly gets dark on the cam early
17:16 Ryan wat waterfall is that rih/
17:17 Ryan rich?
17:17 Rich Yes
17:17 Allan Hi cb, vw
17:18 Allan Hi Ryan, Rich, Graham
17:18 Rich Mesa Falls, it is west of West Yellowstone on hwy 47 out of Ashton.
17:18 Rich Hi Allan
17:18 Ryan o cool
17:18 vw Hi Allan
17:18 Allan BH looks better than when I was here last
17:19 Rich On one of the scenic byways, Tetons turns south and this one turns north, east of Aston.
17:19 Rich Got a link someplace. omp
17:19 Allan But maybe lowering temps has something to do with that.
17:19 vw we are only about 9 degrees away from dewpoint at OF
17:20 Allan Ah, that explains it.
17:20 Graham hey Rich, cb's pictures are great aren't they?
17:20 vw humidity isn't too high, but guessing lots of steam all day as the temp and dewpoints have remained fairly constant
17:20 Rich http://www.byways.org/explore/byways/2047/
17:20 Allan Are you sure you aren't a scientist type, vw??
17:20 Rich I think they are loverly.
17:20 vw i only wish Allan.
17:21 vw mostly just a data miner

17:25 vw don't remember that K was out at F&M with us either?
17:25 Rich He was smart.

17:33 Ryan Behind the big tree on the left in front of Giantess
17:34 Rich I see something.

17:34 Ryan ok...
17:34 Rich The vision of youth, ah, I remember those days.
17:35 Ryan hehe
17:35 Allan Now, what is the relationship between Little Squirt, BH, and Giantess??
17:36 Ryan and Lion?....
17:36 Michael Giantess often wakes Beehive into short intervals (when it isn't already having them).
17:36 Michael Little Squirt sometimes seems to do the same.
17:37 Allan ty
17:37 Graham on the other hand...
17:37 Michael As for Little Squirt and Giantess, well, it would be nice if we could figure something out there.
17:37 Graham this year BH intervals have been so short it doesn't look like Lil Squirt can make any difference
17:38 Rich A little Dutch Boy?
17:39 Graham Lion roaring
17:40 Ryan yep...

08:45 Rich Plume 07:22, 08:42, 09:57, 13:38:46ie, Riverside ?09:35,
08:46 Rich Lion has been running long series of eruptions with usually a day interval, at least daylight.
08:46 Jason Snowfox still?
08:48 Rich There were 8 Lions yesterday before dark.
08:48 Rich So I don't expect much today.
08:48 Rich Longest series we had was for eleven
08:49 Rich but there was poor visibility in the morning and dark
09:17 Jason Snowfox That's really odd behaviour for lion
09:17 Jason Snowfox Has that ever happened w/ giantess before?
09:20 Rich Graham was looking at the data at GOSA on Lion, found longs series in 2008
09:20 Rich Don't recall if there is correlationship with Giantess.
09:20 Jason Snowfox after a giantess, or after a local quake swarm?
09:20 Rich I haven't looked at the data myself.

11:46 vw see still nothing from BH
11:47 Rich I've only seen a couple of burps.
11:47 Rich that was earlier this morning.
11:48 vw R, reading Kents question and your reply, you are sure there wasn't a dark-time BH yesterday or last night? why are you so certain?
11:52 Rich Rereading the question, I read it as certain no daylight, that if there was one it could have gone during the dark.
11:52 vw ok. that helps. thought maybe you had an inside source!
11:53 vw so NOT certain if BH has erupted during the last couple of nights!
11:53 Rich lol, no way for me to know. g
11:53 vw never know who you know R!
11:53 vw lol
11:53 Rich lol
11:53 Rich I'll commune with the spirit world.
11:54 Rich g
11:54 vw I know I have been figuring that BH has just gotten shy and is erupting at night.
11:55 Rich I figure that if Pat S or Dave M had seen something we would have heard thru geyserlist serv
11:55 Rich Bruce says that it doesn't like the cold.
11:55 Rich Same with F&M
11:55 Rich I haven't gotten anything from geyserlist for 3 days.
11:56 vw yeah, that activity slows way down during the cold months.
11:57 Rich I haven't even gotten my own geyser reports.
11:57 vw thats odd. I can report that i have gotten some. lemme check the dates of the ones i have archived.
11:57 Rich k
11:58 vw I have the 17th through the 20th
11:59 Rich Believe that is all I have sent, but sure haven't received any.
11:59 vw I have never sent anything to the list, so i don't know, but maybe you don*t get your own back at you?
12:00 Rich That might be the case. I'll have to log on to the site and check.
12:00 Rich ty vw.
12:00 Rich At least I know they are getting thru.

17:33 cb tis the season
17:34 vw i have gotten into the habit of any time I get a catalog I go to the company webpage and ask them to remove my name.
17:35 vw Get very few paper catalogs anymore.
17:35 Graham you are too organized vw

17:40 vw sadly, many would rather keep their tools/toys then get more time with their kids. :(
17:40 Allan That's silly on their part. They should teach their kids how to do things.
17:41 Allan I taught my daughter car repair and carpentry.
17:41 Rich BTW, the live streaming vids, George did this summer are up.

06:41 Kent I'd just as soon the spirits stay in the thermals and out of the web cams
06:41 cb oh to speak its name in vane.....I shall be haunted for life
06:42 Kent I have it on good authority that Giant is just "resting"
06:42 cb ahhhh
06:43 cb Isn't that what we say of the dead???? ooooohhhhhhaaaahhhh
06:44 Kent I hope when I get tucked in with a shovel they make certain I am not just resting.
06:44 cb lol
06:49 Derek The security cameras that I used to operate had a thing called "TOUR". Each camera could be programed with a number of presets with a time limit on each, so the cam would move itself around if required :-)
06:51 vw company, brb
06:57 cb gotta run....chow all
06:57 CC have a nice day all
06:57 cb have great day
07:01 vw back. Just got a delivery of apples. Pies and sauce in the making this weekend. Yahoo
07:03 vw K - you said long range forecast for next weekend snow in the Park area. Forecast I am looking at says light snow, but thinking not enough to stop your plans?
07:04 vw oh, and Hi Derek!
07:04 vw people in and out in my absence!
07:15 Kent I see three 50% chances by Monday and then highs below freezing. Never believe anything longer than the 3 day forecast ahywho. Hoping for a big warm high to move over the west :)
07:16 vw well, we will get a warm high. eventually. :D
07:21 Derek Hi VW
07:22 vw Hi D. How is everything across the pond today?
07:22 Derek OK thanks. We been out all morning, now having a quiet afternoon
07:23 vw think i remember you mentioning your weather had been cool and drizzly. Better now?
07:24 Derek Dry today with some clouds
07:26 vw nice. As much as i complain about the lack of moisture in eastern Montana, still like those sunny days.
07:26 Derek Just had to pull the blinds over because the sun was wiping out my PC screen
07:27 vw ahhh. the attic will heat up pretty fast then this afternoon for you!
07:28 Derek I'm not in the attic
07:28 vw for some reason i thought your computer room was on the top floor, but guess that doesn't necessarily mean the attic.
07:29 Derek I am on the first floor above the ground floor. The attic is above here
07:30 vw ok. Is your attic big enough to be used? I wish mine was. Seems like so much wasted space.
07:30 Derek Mine is big enough, but not designed for living in. Just storage
07:31 vw mine can't be used for storage until i change the venting. vents in the house just go to attic. silly design.
07:32 vw I need to get moving. Clients await.
07:32 vw Have a good day!
07:32 Derek ok
07:32 Derek seeya
07:48 Rich Hi Derek
07:49 Rich I launced a Resource page for the chatroom http://donsplace.orgfree.com/ofcc/
07:59 Rich OF ie 08:58:16 wc
07:59 Rich hi cb
08:06 Rich Hi sparekitty
08:06 sparekitty hey rich.
08:06 sparekitty how's everythign
08:06 sparekitty ?
08:06 Rich good
08:07 Rich Enjoying a Friday morning. Stayed in bed til 07:00
08:09 Rich Hi Bruce da Moose
08:11 Bruce da Moose Hi! Just looked at your webpage - very nice! Thanks for doing this!
08:12 Rich Conewalker
08:13 Rich Hi Guest7742291
08:13 sparekitty what is it with these people????????\
08:13 Bruce da Moose sigh - another naughty dumb dumb
08:13 sparekitty sometimes i hope they get hurt, but not too badly
08:14 Bruce da Moose It is worth remembering that for MOST of the park's historiy, this sort of thing was allowed.
08:14 Rich Probably the photographer that was on the boardwalk.
08:14 sparekitty you're so generous, bruce. i just hate stupid people.
08:15 Rich Lois said the same thing, stupid.
08:15 Bruce da Moose Boardwalks and trails are realtively recent developments. To be honest, I wish I could do this many times.
08:15 Rich Definitely going for a stroll.
08:15 Bruce da Moose With so many peopkle, though, damage would ensue, and thus restrictions are essential.
08:16 sparekitty me too! but i guess i'm a black and white kinda gal--rules are there for a reason. while _I_ know that _I_ will be careful and not disturb stuff, other people are stupid so rules are good
08:16 Bruce da Moose ...and as far as "stupid" goes - well, I try to be charitable - not always successfully ;-)
08:16 Rich Wonder if he might have a permit to photo?
08:17 Bruce da Moose It si always posisble, BUT I'll bet they'd require a ranger escort.
08:18 Rich Should be in view of the VC monitor.
08:19 Rich Long wait for OF.
08:21 Rich hi mab
08:21 Rich hi guest370713
08:22 Rich VC ranger on the move
08:23 mab just checking that you saw the idiot, I mean conewalker
08:24 mab i have captured a few from static
08:24 Bruce da Moose Hi, mab!
08:24 sparekitty i'd so love to be a mouse at this meeting...
08:24 Rich Working on an upload now.
08:25 Rich hi guest766829
08:25 Rich hi guest321892
08:26 Kent We are obviously waiting for law enforcement to show up
08:26 Rich Hi Kent
08:27 Kent morning rich
08:27 sparekitty law enforcement from where? National prk law or what?
08:27 Jason Snowfox i apparently missed a conewalker
08:27 Kent VC would have called the ranger station I assume
08:27 Bruce da Moose In this case, ti would be ranger station.
08:28 Bruce da Moose Da rangers is Da Law!
08:28 Bruce da Moose I wanna be a ranger ;-)
08:28 Jason Snowfox busted
08:28 Jason Snowfox dun dun dunnnn
08:29 Kent And seen all over the world
08:29 Rich Never to late. Go to Ranger school.
08:29 Jason Snowfox Yellowstones Most Wanted
08:29 Bruce da Moose Have that big old gun swinging on my hip...
08:29 Bruce da Moose Wear that Seriously Awesome Ranger Hat
08:29 Rich You can do that with out being a Ranger soon.
08:29 Bruce da Moose The Sequoia Cone Emblem
08:30 mab I had a freezup, did the Law show up
08:30 Bruce da Moose The whole 9 yards...
08:30 mab ?
08:30 Rich yep
08:31 Jason Snowfox yeah, the supreme court actually upheld the 2nd amendment
08:31 Jason Snowfox and Wyoming law says you can open carry
08:31 Derek Sorry I missed it guys. I was called downstairs. When I got back here, he was sitting on the bench
08:31 Rich If my bandwidth holds up, starting uploading momentarily.
08:31 Bruce da Moose Actually, I think the Pres signed a law that says you can open carry too - odd, since it was a conservatrive Republican (Reagan) who started the ban.
08:32 Rich Wyoming state law.
08:32 Bruce da Moose PLUME 0933 - correct, streamers?
08:33 Rich looks like it.
08:33 Jason Snowfox It's a state issue, not fed bruce. If the law says that you can open carry in wyoming, it doesn't matter what the feds say
08:33 mab is the static clock correct? Mine was 0931
08:33 Jason Snowfox you can even open carry in California. so as long as it's 1000 feet away from a school, and not loaded
08:33 Bruce da Moose But this is a national park - and that carries some weight
08:34 Bruce da Moose I am using my atomic clock
08:34 Jason Snowfox 2nd Amendment makes no distinction between national park or federal land. as the feds, you cannot say you can open carry one place, and not in the other
08:34 Derek Am I right in assuming, someone can commit a crime in a particular state, then cross into the next and get awy with it?
08:34 Jason Snowfox that's up to Wyoming
08:34 Jason Snowfox If wyoming says it's illegal to open carry in yellowstone, then it's illegal
08:34 Bruce da Moose Except for decades that bis exactly wha the Park Service did.
08:34 mab I was just putting some things into photobucket, and I found a not too good shot of Model taken in July - should I upload it?
08:34 sparekitty derek, not really in a state. if you break the law in the US and flee to mexico or canada, you might be able to get away with whatever
08:35 Jason Snowfox Derek: no, the second you flee over state lines, it becomes a Federal crime/issue
08:35 sparekitty but across state lines, the law is the law. somebody correct me if i'm wrong
08:35 Bruce da Moose mab - if it's Model, I;d include it.
08:35 sparekitty jason's right.
08:35 Bruce da Moose Right About?
08:35 Jason Snowfox Instead of say local police, it becomes an FBI issue
08:35 Derek It just that on the movies, you here people say cross the state line and the sherrif cant touch you.
08:36 Jason Snowfox sure the sheriff can't
08:36 Jason Snowfox but the feds can
08:36 Bruce da Moose The Sheriff is a local official.
08:37 Bruce da Moose Like it or not, Ronald Reagan began a pol;icy that firearms cannot be carried openly in a NP. It is only this year that the rule has changed back.
08:37 Derek So many different law departments. County Sherrif, State Police, US Marshall, FBI, CIA etc etc
08:37 Bruce da Moose Derek, correct
08:37 Jason Snowfox don't forget City
08:37 Jason Snowfox and DHS oversees local organizations now too apparently
08:38 Bruce da Moose Also, NPS ha sits own police force, the rangers.
08:38 Jason Snowfox not aruging that Bruce, but to be fair Regan made a mistake. It's unconstitutional really -- wither it be right or wrong
08:38 Jason Snowfox thats for Wyoming, Montana and Idaho to decide
08:39 Derek Over here we have a police HQ in each county, but they do co-operate with each other. Ever HQ is in charge of Traffic Police and Local Police.
08:39 Bruce da Moose That could be, and is obviously a Supreme Court Decision.
08:39 Jason Snowfox only one the SCOTUS has gotten right recently
08:40 Derek And of course the Tactical Firearms Squad
08:40 Bruce da Moose I do not argue with the SC, no matter what their political makeup or tendency. They are the final arbiter.
08:41 Jason Snowfox I should rephrase that. With the makeup of the SCOTUS recently I was VERY surprized they defended the 2nd
08:41 Bruce da Moose That's not to say I agree with all of their decisiosn - but I honor them.
08:41 Jason Snowfox shocked really
08:41 Derek We also have national departments that are based in London but cover the whole country, such as Special Branch and Flying Squad
08:41 Jason Snowfox They actually give me some hope for this nation's constitution
08:42 Jason Snowfox Derek: Local/State/County work together here too
08:42 Bruce da Moose I am not surprised they defended the 2nd. I am a liberal, I really don't like guns, but I also honro the Constitution. the wording in the 2nd amendment is so squirrely that it must be contrued fairly liberally.
08:43 Derek We also have British Transport Police
08:43 Derek They cary larger battons :-)
08:44 Jason Snowfox 2nd is pretty clear to me. Feds have no say on guns -- the states do.. or well, did. the 14th incorperated the 2nd on a statewide level
08:44 Bruce da Moose On our coastal waters, we have the Coast Guard.
08:45 Jason Snowfox the 2nd/14th is where it's squirly
08:45 Jason Snowfox <3 lincoln
08:45 Derek We have a Coasguard too
08:46 Bruce da Moose That's not my beef with the 2nd. I understand reserving rights to the States and all - but the 2nd, without being defitnive, implies that the fundamental reason for guns is one of state self-defense by militia...
08:46 Derek A more recent thing is the Comunity Safety Officer.
08:47 Bruce da Moose ...and not for pleasure, hunting or even self-defense, which is why most people carry them.
08:47 Jason Snowfox neccessary for the security of a free state
08:47 Derek They are dressed like police but don't have powers of arrest. They just keep things quiet until the real police get there
08:47 Jason Snowfox I agree with that Bruce, hunting etc it was not intended for
08:47 Jason Snowfox although at the time it would have been a defacto use
08:48 Bruce da Moose Right - a free *state*. In other words, militia to protect atgainst federal tyranny - as found in the olden days.
08:48 Jason Snowfox exactly
08:48 Derek I have to go downstairs again for a few minutes.
08:48 Jason Snowfox You're spot on Bruce, not disagreeing with you on that
08:49 Bruce da Moose But that's not why mopst people carry them. Nobody takes a gun to Yellowstone to protect themselves from perceived tyranny by rangers.
08:49 Jason Snowfox Well.. can I give an example here?
08:49 Jason Snowfox It's a use it or lose it right
08:49 Bruce da Moose Nonetheless, I think it has to be interpreted liberally, becasue not doing so rusn the risk of second-guesisng the 2nd.
08:50 Bruce da Moose Continue...?
08:50 Jason Snowfox if I walk down a street today, open carrying
08:50 Jason Snowfox people are going to absolutely panic
08:50 Bruce da Moose Not me.
08:50 Jason Snowfox thinking it's illegal
08:50 Bruce da Moose Could be true
08:50 Jason Snowfox for sure someone will call the police, etc
08:50 Bruce da Moose but bthat's their problem, not yours.
08:50 Jason Snowfox exactly
08:50 Jason Snowfox their problem is they dont understand it's a right to carry a firearm, whither they like it or not
08:50 Jason Snowfox consider it education
08:50 sparekitty it seems guys that the public is quite aware where it is legal to open carry, for example, arizona. now if you're from out of state, t could be disturbing
08:51 Jason Snowfox that the 2nd exists, and it is a right
08:51 Jason Snowfox if you grew up around everyone carrying guns (arizona), then it would be accepted as a right and no one would think of it
08:51 Jason Snowfox Here in California, I do that, i'm going to be stoped by the police
08:51 Bruce da Moose Yeah - just a matter fo what you;re used to
08:51 Jason Snowfox and have my firearm checked
08:52 sparekitty having your firearm checked is legal though
08:52 Jason Snowfox it is -- but people are going to flip
08:52 Bruce da Moose Let them!
08:52 Jason Snowfox screaming how illegal it is, etc
08:52 sparekitty i think it depends a BUNCH on your demeanor
08:52 Jason Snowfox it's a hope that seeing me being stoped by a popo will result in THEIR education that it is NOT illegal
08:52 Bruce da Moose Yeah - don;t go brandishing your piece like a drunken cowboy!
08:53 Jason Snowfox this whole hunting /self protection.. well hunting no.. but self protection of property? sure..
08:54 Bruce da Moose Anyway, I grew up around them, never liked them, don't carry them, but wil defend anyone's right to carry one.
08:54 Jason Snowfox There's a LOT of people who don't feel that way bruce
08:54 Bruce da Moose I know.
08:54 Bruce da Moose Even insane criminal masterminds have the right if they are not convicted.
08:54 Jason Snowfox the problem is educating people about the 2nd amendment
08:55 Jason Snowfox seriously, in all the tv shows how many times do you see people waving the 5th?
08:55 Jason Snowfox people wave it by answering just "where are you going" by a CHP officer
08:55 Jason Snowfox it's sad that people do not know their own rights
08:55 Bruce da Moose Well, they waive the 5th to avoid self-incrimination.
08:55 Jason Snowfox and are taught that they are relics of the past
08:56 Jason Snowfox If /when questioned, I always call my lawyer and say nothing until he gets their
08:56 Jason Snowfox /there
08:56 Jason Snowfox People get too chummy with the police, thinking if they just talk about it, popo will let them go
08:56 Bruce da Moose I have never had a polic eofficer ask me anything except for my driver's license. Waht do you do to get yourself in so much trouble? ;-)
08:57 Jason Snowfox Their job is to arrest you for a crime, or find you comitting one
08:57 Bruce da Moose ok
08:57 Jason Snowfox admitting to it makes their job easy
08:57 Bruce da Moose Who admits a crime?
08:57 Rich Upload to FB completed http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=2020419&id=1427016656&l=c0f086d896
08:57 Jason Snowfox "ok I did it, but this is the reason why..."
08:57 sparekitty i don't agree jason that the police's job is to arrest you or catch someone doing bad.
08:57 sparekitty their job is to protect.
08:58 Bruce da Moose Actually, by fussing a bit, I have avoided a few tickets. None of them like to show up in court
08:58 sparekitty that includes a significant educational component.
08:58 Rich Eighteen images.
08:58 Jason Snowfox I'd rather be safe than sorry, police officers are not my friend
08:58 Jason Snowfox I had a bad run in with one
08:58 Jason Snowfox never again
08:59 Bruce da Moose Thanks, Rich!
08:59 Jason Snowfox spare, I was driving home with my wife from a market
08:59 Bruce da Moose I had one read me miranda rights after a fender bender on an icy road. It was funny :-)
08:59 Jason Snowfox (she's chinese)
09:00 Jason Snowfox the tags on my car were expired
09:00 Jason Snowfox however, they were paid for
09:00 Bruce da Moose You bad boy!
09:00 Rich As soon as Lois looks at them we might have additional images she might have uploaded.
09:00 Jason Snowfox i just didn't receive the tags yet
09:00 Jason Snowfox police officer follows me and her around the corner
09:00 Jason Snowfox keep in mind, I live 2 blocks from the store max
09:00 Jason Snowfox get pulled over
09:00 Jason Snowfox I figured for the tags, no problem -- paid for
09:01 Jason Snowfox instead said police officer lies to me, says I have 2 unpaid parking tickets and no insurance
09:01 Bruce da Moose How late was it?
09:01 Jason Snowfox I give him my insurance card, he threatens me with felonies and is going to call my insurance to double check
09:01 Jason Snowfox ~ 6pm
09:01 Bruce da Moose No insurance?
09:01 Jason Snowfox I've had it for years
09:01 Bruce da Moose No, I mean- how late were the tags
09:02 sparekitty what did you do after this confrotation?
09:02 Jason Snowfox my tags expired oct 30th
09:02 Jason Snowfox er 31st
09:02 Jason Snowfox it was november 3rd :P
09:02 Bruce da Moose I don't doubt you had insurance. I just wonder why he made that stupid assertion with no evidence.
09:02 Jason Snowfox so he claims he's knows my insurance(wawanesa)
09:02 Jason Snowfox and is going to call them to verify
09:02 Bruce da Moose The gusy sounds like an authoritarian idiot.
09:02 Jason Snowfox goes back to his car
09:02 Jason Snowfox comes back 10 mins later saying how it's my lucky day cause they were closed
09:03 Jason Snowfox I get home 5 mins later, call wawanesa -- sure enough they are open
09:03 Bruce da Moose he was being a &%$#*
09:03 Bruce da Moose Tryng to scare you.
09:03 Jason Snowfox exactly, why?
09:03 Jason Snowfox I make 70k a year, never been arrested
09:03 Bruce da Moose I don't blame you for not trusting cops after that.
09:03 Jason Snowfox here I am being threatened with felonies for diving home from the store with my chinese wife?
09:03 Bruce da Moose Why? Becaus ehe had abad day and wanted to be creep.
09:04 sparekitty you could well have fit a profile/description that was outstanding.
09:04 Bruce da Moose he;s just a human, faulty and disconnected liek the rest fo us.
09:04 Jason Snowfox it doesn't matter, he was violating my rights, profile or not
09:04 sparekitty maybe you looked just like a serial killer. and they cops DID have a valid reason to stop you.
09:04 Bruce da Moose Maybe he's a racist?
09:04 Jason Snowfox i'm thinking racist
09:04 Jason Snowfox my wifes 4'10, chinese
09:04 sparekitty if you feel your rights were violated, did you follow up?
09:04 Jason Snowfox yes I did
09:04 sparekitty maybe he thought you had a child in the car.
09:04 Bruce da Moose and...?
09:04 Jason Snowfox I had to track him down, and filed a complaint with his supierior
09:05 Bruce da Moose Good
09:05 sparekitty or maybe he's just an A--H0l3
09:05 Jason Snowfox nothing ever came out of it
09:05 Derek I'm back
09:05 Bruce da Moose That's my first impression :-)
09:05 Rich wb
09:05 Jason Snowfox I think he saw me and my wife walk back happily to our car, laughing, cause we had a good time shopping
09:05 Jason Snowfox and just wanted to be an ass
09:05 Bruce da Moose Well! The daily log will be interesting today!

09:23 Kent For as cold and steamy as it is, that was an excellent Grand!
09:23 Jason Snowfox well.. other than "am i being detained officer, or am I free to go?" hehe
09:23 Jason Snowfox anyway
09:23 Jason Snowfox It's friday and family night for me. :)
09:23 Jason Snowfox picking up a pumpkin or two with my little girly
09:24 Bruce da Moose Even while it was cold, Grand gave surprisingly good shows for us when we there.
09:25 Kent Just enough wind to keep the steam moving and expose the plumes of water
09:26 Bruce da Moose Kent, that's about all we can hope for in the depth of winter...
09:26 mab Soorry, things got stuck here K
09:26 Jason Snowfox is lion still on long cycles?
09:26 Bruce da Moose Lion seems to be more or less back to normal IIRC
09:26 mab Sorry Kent things were stuck here

12:58 Rich I have the eggs ready.
12:58 Bruce da Moose lol
12:59 Rich In a wire basket and on the fishing pole.
13:00 Bruce da Moose Lion might be a high-powered convection oven - you ready for that?
13:00 Bruce da Moose In other words, you might get scrambled eggs instead of over easy...
13:01 Rich Got the Marlin rod out.
13:01 Bruce da Moose :-)
13:01 Rich I only like my eggs scrambled. g

13:04 Bruce da Moose Oh - we have had some done already over the years - this wil complete the job.
13:04 Rich Ok, there you go.
13:04 Bruce da Moose No more leaky cold single-paned Al windows
13:04 Rich Cold winter in the Bay area?
13:05 Bruce da Moose Not so cold, but cold enough to want a lower heating bill
13:05 Rich Now just have to seal up the door frames?
13:05 Rich Hmmm, reminds me of someplace????
13:05 Bruce da Moose Well - we only one exterior doorframe really, not counting the door to the garage
13:06 Bruce da Moose No, it's not as bad as that glorified log cabin in Wyoming ;-)

13:35 Rich lol
13:36 Rich mmore splashing
13:36 Rich remind you of anytime, Bruce?
13:36 Rich That plume in the OF mess?
13:36 Kent Don't care about splashing or West Bubblers. It ain't going to go.
13:37 Rich g
13:37 Rich Optomist?
13:38 Bruce da Moose Optometrist - he actually can't see them
13:40 Rich Time for another donut, Bruce.
13:40 Bruce da Moose mmmm - donuts
13:40 Bruce da Moose I think they are gonzo
13:40 Bruce da Moose only crumbs left
13:42 Kent We have a chance for a daylight tomorrow which is what I am counting on
13:42 Rich Ah, time for Onion Snack.
13:43 Rich I checked with the store, they come from a regular supplier, so manager thinks there will be more.
13:43 Rich Don't know if that is good or bad. g
13:43 mab Dont listen to Kent and keep watching Beehive.
13:44 Rich g
13:44 Rich Kent who?
13:45 Kent I appreciate you support :) Neat thing about geysers. Time will tell.
13:45 mab I thought you were a tourist.
13:45 mab Yep, later this winter we will have downloads too!
13:45 mab Question -
13:45 Rich I have three more minutes before I can 'see' again.
13:45 mab Does anyone know if it was OKd with NPS to use the logo on this site?
13:45 Kent I am most definitely a touriist. Wi***** was otherwise, but it is gnot!
13:52 Kent Dinner at Obsidian on me next spring if BH goes before dark!
13:53 mab OK but dinner has to be AFTER dark
13:55 Kent Done!
13:55 Kent aka bonehead\
13:56 Derek Goodnight All
13:56 Rich nite Derek
13:56 vw Hi. Just back from courthouse.
13:56 Kent Thanks Derek. U guys are priceless
13:57 vw MA - good question on NPS logo. Have wondered same.
13:57 Bruce da Moose MMMM - Obsidian room ravioli!
13:57 vw Probably need to forward question to Paul Thompson. CC might know too.
13:57 Kent Bruce, I am not worried.
13:58 Bruce da Moose They probably won't care as long as he's not earning money. Kent, continue to be at ease!
13:58 mab As a VIP our computers wouldnt even go to this page and its not government chatter we are doing
13:58 Bruce da Moose mabm, how do YOU rate?
13:59 mab I just had to wait 5 weeks for a Federal background check. Lynn, Mary Beth and Marion too, anyone who touches a computer. Fingerprints and all.
14:00 Bruce da Moose Do you volunteer?
14:00 mab yep I am Lee Ws VIP
14:00 mab Archives Rat.
14:02 Loisb Hi Everyone
14:02 mab Kent if Beehive is after dark I will bring Chef Boy R Dee raviolo and a P38 to share at Nez Perce ford
14:02 Rich Hi Loisb
14:02 Loisb i see we are still on Beehive watch
14:03 Kent mab, thank you. BH will go in the dark of the night
14:03 Rich The continous condition.
14:05 Rich It usually does.
14:05 Rich Dark doesn't usually stop it from erupting.
14:07 Kent I think 19 +/- is its current interval. Electronicis will eventually verify.
14:08 Rich A double interval would make it around 02:00
14:10 Kent Rich, I want a daylight tomorrow!!!
14:10 Rich If it stays on a 19h interval won't happen.
14:10 Loisb that would be nice
14:11 mab I could go on Sunday but not tomorrow. Why dont you prognosticate for then for me?
14:11 Rich you just have to add 19+19, till you get to the day you want.
14:14 Kent Lady, prognosticate at wil, hang ou on the list serer. BH will go in the daylight tomorroew.
14:14 Rich lol
14:16 mab I would comment if I understood what that said!
14:16 Loisb I liked it better when Beehive was every 13 hours
14:18 Bruce da Moose If BH went just before noon yesterday, it could go anytime, but just as likely after dark as before.
14:18 Bruce da Moose Actually more likely after dark
14:18 Loisb afraid so
14:18 Bruce da Moose Which bodes well for a daytime BH tomorrow.
14:19 Bruce da Moose I am amazed that Lion is so placid
14:19 Loisb its tired from the other day
14:19 Bruce da Moose Sleepy Lion
14:20 Rich I feel it did more eruptions than just the 3 we recorded.
14:20 Rich Lately Lion hasn't been missing on the interval between 1st and 2nd eruptions.
14:22 Rich hi jerseyfresh
14:22 jerseyfresh111 hi

16:29 Bruce on da Loose Sorry, Marmot Cave is at far LEFT end of boardwalk loop.
16:30 Bruce on da Loose Exhaustion is an evil thing...
16:30 Loisb still a little steam ?
16:30 Loisb above the water trickle?
16:30 Bruce on da Loose VERY little steam
16:32 Loisb is it to the right of Depression?
16:33 Bruce on da Loose Yes, just right of Depression and the Dwarfs. Well - no rest for the weary. More things to attend to. Later folks, good luick on BH and Lion! Maybe another Grand too if a short interval.

17:15 Allan Tomorrow it will moderate --up to 49
17:15 vw oh my. it is that time of the year.

17:16 Allan They were warmer, sunnier
17:16 Rich This is an El Nino year.
17:17 Allan That could well do it. That may mean lots of snow for us this year.

08:46 Graham never had to switch batteries

08:47 Derek Is that Grand?

08:48 Michael If we get a second burst, things should clear out nicely
08:50 vw Rich - wanna check that time on Grand?
08:50 Rich for?
08:50 vw not sure it has been going for 12 minutes now.
08:50 vw maybe it has and i just wasnt paying attention.
08:53 vw G called it at 0944 ie
08:54 Michael Looks like Rich checked the static images to find the earliest one with Grand erupting. So his time is reliable.
08:55 vw thats what i am hoping he will confirm
08:55 vw both my static and stream keep freezing so i cant tell what is happening!
08:57 vw i gotta get work done here. leaving stream on to glimps at as i labor.

09:32 Rich ur w
09:33 Rich Winter has struck the static cam.
09:35 Ryan looks like firehole spring and... ...Little Brother Geyser? or Narcissus
09:37 Michael Looks like Narcissus to me. I'm going to run errands now, while Geyser Hill is experiencing technical difficulties.
09:37 Rich lol
09:37 Ryan g
09:41 Rich Most of my photos will be a guessing game, as I never knew the name and names were flying at me to fast for me to absorb. g
09:43 Graham how come my picture is not erupting Rich?
09:43 Rich Like I know?
09:44 Rich I don't even know it's name. g
09:44 Rich I think I know it's location.
09:44 Graham any idea where you took it?
09:44 vw cleaning :P: new geyser: slush
09:44 Graham other one is Narcissus
09:44 Ryan I think its Spouter or Hankerchief pool
09:44 Rich lol
09:45 Graham looks like Excelsior is erupting on streaming cam :)
09:45 Ryan slush 1045 ie.... so amazing!
09:45 vw cleaning :P: take a break from all more chores for this view! :D
09:45 Rich Across the loop road from OF take the board walk out across the river/stream and turn to the right, two large pools, on the way back on the west side was this little pool.
09:46 Rich Or bridal veil falls in Yosemite on the static cam.
09:46 vw cleaning :P: not helping D! but good try!
09:46 Graham so its in Black Sand Basin
09:46 Derek If CC was home, she could use the wiper
09:47 vw cleaning :P: think someone needs to be the backup wiper!
09:47 Rich The VC can do it, can't they?
09:47 vw cleaning :P: now THAT is a job i could do!
09:48 vw cleaning :P: dont know
09:48 Rich Sit in a little room looking at a monitor all day, on the off chance that it rained or snowed on the lense? mmmm
09:48 Graham Nice picture of Narcissus Rich, it didn't erupt for me
09:48 vw cleaning :P: good book....do walkabouts when the skies are clear... sounds pretty good to me!
09:48 Ryan it is nice R
09:48 Rich Was a 'long' eruption.
09:48 Rich k
09:48 Rich ty
09:49 Rich And your required pay scale?
09:50 vw cleaning :P: enough for room and board. i have a very low expectation of standard of living R!
09:50 vw cleaning :P: oh yeah, and enough for some good books!
09:50 Rich lol
09:51 Rich sounds good to me.
09:51 Rich I would add a grain allotment, feed for the pet mice.
09:52 Rich Next time I'm going to inquire about a bear box.
09:58 vw cleaning :P: hmmmm. wonder if there is a vaccine for hanta virus. I like mice.
10:08 Rich Hmmm, wonder if there have ever been any reported cases in YNP?
10:20 Ryan is that a small snowman on the BW in fron of OF
10:28 Rich Loisb reports there were kids there earlier.
10:40 Graham someone working the wiper
10:40 Derek So I see
10:40 Kent Go for it CC!
10:40 Derek Maybe she phoned Craig
10:41 Derek She was in a class when I called
10:41 Graham or it got quiet in the VC
10:45 Graham looks like we missed Daisy
10:46 Kent Genuinely funny Rich. I love the idea of Old House rooms with bear boxes.
10:48 Kent I like vw's idea though. Trap the mice, vaccinate them, and then share the Inn. Next time I will keep my electronics in the car.
10:51 Derek Tea time
10:51 Graham ok D, see ya
10:53 Kent BH is not going to go. It is on a 19 hour cycle. Went dark last night and will do so again tonight. This from a tourist!
10:55 Graham looks pretty quiet
10:56 Kent By the way Graham, If I make it to the park next weekend I will take and post at least one photo. I am thinking of Victory bubbling away :^)
10:56 Graham good, I have never seen it
10:57 Graham at least theres 1 geyser photo posted from the big visit
10:58 Kent Big visit was cold, but it was great fun meeting people. I am very glad I drove up.

13:38 Derek Oh dear!. That's a sign of old age when you doze off everytime you sit down LOL
13:39 Derek Speaking through personal experience
13:43 Kent vw is not old, but she is still subject to magical potions. That and the fact that she is an attorney make her especially susceptible to foolishness.

16:52 Rich Snowing at St Mary's and Two Medicine in Glacier.
16:52 Bruce on da Loose Looks like we have an expectant human out at Plume...
16:53 Graham Plume 1753
16:53 Bruce on da Loose The person started walking away...and got a surprise!

16:59 Rich bye Bruce
16:59 Michael Bye Bruce.
17:26 Allan bbl
17:26 Rich bye Allan
17:26 Michael I just took another look at RT's Grand data. Didn't realize the season average interval was so close to 9 hours.
17:27 Michael Bye Allan.
17:27 Rich ?8:40?
17:31 Michael For some reason I thought 7-9 hours was the right window, but it looks like anything near 7h is really an outlier.
17:31 Rich I think it was running 6:40 or so when we where in the park.
17:32 Graham Daisy 1832
17:34 Michael Could be, I don't know anything about the October activity.
17:39 Graham Grand 1839
17:51 Michael Nice way to end the day. Good night everyone.
17:51 Graham Castle 1851ie
17:54 Allan So Grand couldn't wait until I returned :(
17:54 Graham nope
17:54 Graham but Castle did
17:55 Allan Yup. And there's always tomorrow for Grand :)
17:55 Rich wb Allan
17:56 Allan ty
17:57 Allan What's steaming in th ebackground?
17:57 Allan Ignore that. The cam moved
18:01 Rich Grand went at 18:39
18:01 Graham OF 1900
18:03 Allan G, is the control image brighter than our image?
18:04 Rich Static cam will have more light.
18:04 Allan true
18:05 Allan I was wondering what G and cb see
18:05 Rich ah
18:06 Allan It's getting pretty dark!
18:07 Rich Wait for the flashlight parade. g
18:07 Allan Time to switch over to the night vision lens.
18:07 Rich yep
18:08 Graham the control image sometimes has a little more color but the same brightness
18:08 Allan I think that next spring we'll have to buy night vision goggles.
18:08 Graham it is displayed at a lower refresh rate
18:08 Allan ty, G
18:08 Allan That I knew. Why do you suppose that is?
18:08 Graham so the control window is more jumpy
18:09 Graham screenshots?
18:09 Graham I am out of here, goodnight

06:24 Ryan Plate, no Pump, yes
06:25 Ryan Do you think the strage lion behaviour was a giantess effect?
06:25 Graham There might have been a Plume around 0720, looked like a second steam column then but too hard to really tell
06:25 Ryan hello 666or333X2
06:25 Ryan yeah...

06:50 Ryan Depression 0749

06:52 Rich later Ryan
06:52 Ryan is doing chores :(: byee
06:52 Rich Chores are only that if you don't make them fun.
06:54 Rich It's amazing to me that Solitary looks so far away from Grand from the webcam, and yet doesn't look that far from Grand.
06:55 CC It's not near Grand
06:55 Rich nope
06:56 Derek Only far if you have to walk it LOL

07:29 Ryan is doing chores :(: gaah i missed aurum!?
07:29 Ryan is doing chores :(: Ive never seen aurum!
07:29 Derek So did I
07:30 Derek Maybe Rich can predict the next one so you don't miss it again
07:32 Derek 08:31 O.F.
07:32 Ryan is doing chores :(: has auum become regular again?
07:32 Ryan is doing chores :(: aurum
07:32 Derek I didn't know it ever changed
07:32 Ryan is doing chores :(: Beautiful
07:33 Rich Very nice OF.
07:33 Ryan is doing chores :(: In Summer it can be irregular
07:33 Ryan is doing chores :(: winter its usualy pretty good
07:33 Derek Without checking Scotts book, I don't know
07:34 Derek Old Faithfuls little side vent is steaming well today
07:35 Ryan is doing chores :(: Derek r u in control
07:35 Derek Now and for next 4 hours
07:35 Ryan is doing chores :(: ok, nice view of OF
07:36 Derek There have been a number of debates about wether that little side vent ever emits water.
07:36 Ryan is doing chores :(: is it a side vent?
07:37 Derek It steams heaviest during OFs erruptions
07:43 Graham that's a lot of steam from that little vent
07:43 Derek I'm looking for water
07:43 Ryan is doing chores :(: Yes it is steaming hard,,,is it named?
07:44 Derek Not in Scotts book
07:44 Graham no. It splashes a bit but I had not seen it that clearly before on the cam
07:44 Ryan is doing chores :(: Then as of 24 October 2009, I declare it... Derek's Vent!
07:45 Derek Thats just about maximum zoom
07:45 Ryan is doing chores :(: And the OF vent can be named after uhhh..... Rich!
07:45 Derek That's probably further from the walkway than it appears on the cam
07:46 Ryan is doing chores :(: c yall later g2g
07:46 Ryan is doing chores :(: chores.........................
07:46 Rich Bye Ryan
07:46 Derek He'll be back
07:46 Graham yeah it is Derek. When you stand there and look at it, the vent looks much closer to Lion
07:47 Graham but still well away on the slope
07:47 Graham bubble bubble bubble
07:49 Derek Castle splashing well
07:49 Ryan is doing chores :(: no i wont b back Derek
07:50 Graham Castle must have minored to be splashing like that
07:50 Ryan is doing chores :(: well... not for awhile :(
07:50 Rich Have a good day Ryan
07:50 Graham get out Ryan, its nice outside
07:50 Ryan is doing chores :(: yes it is !
07:51 Derek Nice day for rocket testing
07:52 Ryan is doing chores :(: its not built YET
07:52 Ryan is doing chores :(: working on it tho, will have to put pics on me site! :D
07:52 Rich That will be good to see.
07:53 Graham everything is very steamy this morning
07:54 Graham I guess that vent didn't show up well last year because the doubler didn't work
07:55 Derek I think it is more than a doubler :-)
07:56 Derek If I recall the specs on the Canon website it has something like a 30 times optical zoom with a 5 times digital
08:13 Rich  Hi Kent
08:14 Rich Hi Ham101
08:15 Ham101 What up? Looks like a little snow on the boardwalk.
08:15 Rich I hadn't notice the little 'balls', hmmm??
08:16 Rich Hail?
08:16 Ham101 Maybe just light reflecting; first really sunny morn in awhile
08:36 Kent Ryan, The West Bubblers are the little vents to the west of Beehive’s cone. Scott’s book says they can begin sputtering several hours before an eruption. That’s all I know.
08:37 Kent HK says that just having read Scott’s book does not make you a gazer and in my case that is very true.
08:38 Rich I remember seeing them bubbling.
08:39 Derek One would also have to, at least, visit the park to begin gazer training, so I guess that eliminates me :-(
08:40 Derek And when one gets there, be prepared to sit for days in one spot waiting for that rare erruption
08:40 Rich OR not so rare, in the case of Beehive for us.
08:41 Derek In your case Rich, it was hours, not days LOL
08:42 Rich Was that all it was, sure seemed a lot longer in the sub freezing temp, blowing snow.
08:45 Derek I still have the video I captured from the webcam of some 20 minutes of your wait :-)
08:45 Rich cool
08:46 Derek Not close enough to recognise faces, only body sizes :-)
09:03 Derek 10:03 OF
09:05 Rich hi lcd
09:05 lcd good morning
09:06 mab what was erupting around 0922? I couldnt get in to ask right then- anyone else see that?
09:06 Rich That it is
09:08 lcd I didn't.
09:08 lcd was walking at that time.
09:09 mab its quite cold, could be anything.
09:11 Rich Lion ie 10:10:20ie

10:11 Ryan Needless to say the other gazers were ready to push her into a hot spring.
10:12 Ryan still never figured out why she was there waiting for it
10:13 Ryan brb gonna make another milkshake!
10:16 Rich lol
10:16 Rich Some folks just like to complain.
10:17 mab You had Aurum and Depression today. May I ask for a recap Rich?
10:18 Rich  Oh, I knew there was something I hadn't done yet. OMP
10:19 mab I should probably ask what omp means, you dont want to know what it is in a young texters vocabulary!

10:48 Derek Hey Rich, I think you sung a couple of notes off key back there
10:49 Rich Just a couple, what an improvement then. g
10:49 Derek :-)
10:49 Derek Maybe a beer would help
10:50 Rich Hot chocolate would be better this time of the day, too much beer last night at the bowling alley.
10:51 Rich I think I finally got into bed around 01:00
10:52 Derek Little Cub going wild again
10:53 Rich Looks like the Beehive gazer moved off.
10:57 Rich Plume?
10:57 Derek Yep
10:57 Rich Plume ie 11:56:28 wc
11:04 Rich  Any F&M speculations?
11:05 Ryan speculations as to when?
11:05 Rich or IF? g
11:05 Ryan oh my cam went down
11:05 Ryan i dont see steam on the static
11:05 Rich not right now, just at some future time?
11:06 Ryan OH, when was last one
11:06 Rich F&M 14:21 10/21/09
11:06 Ryan should be today... dont know when though
11:07 Rich I found a shop that sells crystal balls. g
11:07 Ryan good luck
11:07 Rich I think they really work, I saw myself not buying one.
11:07 Ryan haha
11:07 Rich hi guest5393952
11:08 Rich g
11:08 Derek We had a fortune teller just along this street,
11:08 Rich Tea leaves?
11:08 Derek But she went out of business due to unforseen circumstances
11:09 Rich My Grandmother use to read tealeaves.
11:09 Rich lol
11:09 Ryan hehe
11:09 Rich Had to have a really big magnifying glass.
11:10 Derek I'm still having refresh problems with the static
11:10 Rich We wish you a Merry Christmas, We wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!!!!
11:11 Rich yep
11:11 Ryan Rich when u were in YNP, would you only wait for BIG geysers or wait for any?
11:12 Derek Nice Anemone
11:12 Rich Didn't really have much chance to just wait, with everyone there, someone always 'knew' when the next one would erupt.
11:13 Rich So mostly was moving from one known to the next.
11:13 Rich Just had to wait on the Biggies. like F&M and Beehive. lol
11:14 Rich They just didn't seem to want to get with the program. g
11:14 Rich Narcissus - we decided to hike out to it, and it was just overflowing, so didn't have a long wait.
11:15 Rich First day, we drove up to Pink Cone and Pink. Pink Cone erupted, and then Narcissus but no Pink, of course if I'd looked down at the pavement and noticed the wet, might not have waited for Pink to erupt.
11:15 Rich g
11:16 Rich The moved over to Bead, and it graced us.
11:16 Rich So all in all, the geysers cooperated. I'm sure there were lots we could have waited for but, getting to the 'known' ones was a busy schedule.
11:17 Rich I like waiting for Grand, was there a long time by myself, got to watching the overflow water in front of the benches and then started backtracking the cycle.
11:18 Rich Watched the water rise, cover the sinter, a few waves, Turban take off - and more times than not, drain Grand.
11:18 Rich Did 12 cycles of Turban, then it did a G1C. go figure.
11:19 Derek Rich, how far is Grand from the nearest walkway?
11:19 Rich Was a good learning time.
11:19 Rich next to it
11:19 Derek 20 feet, 40 feet?
11:19 Rich Really terrific site, lots of benches. You are about 10-15 meters away
11:19 Derek Ahhh
11:21 Rich about half way thru my turban cycles John Warnock came up and we sat and talked and watched.
11:21 Rich Very nice man.
11:22 Rich long about 9-10 cycles other people started gathering. People draw a crowd, I just don't understand why. lol
11:22 Ryan waiting for Grand was fun for me too, alothough i only did 8 turbans and it was 40F
11:22 Rich Guess it is like parking your car out by itself in a parking lot, someone sees it and had to join in.
11:22 Rich g
11:22 Rich Was a bit cool for us. g
11:24 Rich But the sun was out and it was great.
11:24 Derek grand

13:31 CC OF 14:30
13:36 Rich Houbou left us.
13:36 Rich gee
13:41 Juicy Brucie well, just rode my bike 27 miles this AM at high speed - so what am I doing? Easting chocolate chips! D'oh!
13:42 Rich You were just riding for excercise, not weight loss. So chcocolate chips are ok
13:42 Juicy Brucie (I gotta lose 8 pounds) but I will acept your explanation... ;-)
13:44 Rich I on the other hand sawed wood, and am thinking about going to Safeway and getting a big carrotcake. Resisting as I DO need to loose weight. g
13:44 Juicy Brucie You could just get the carrots... LOL
13:44 Rich right
13:44 Rich Not the form I was looking for them in.
13:44 Juicy Brucie I freakin' love carrot cake...
13:45 Juicy Brucie with creamy cheesy frosting
13:45 Juicy Brucie :)>-
13:45 Rich And we made the whole trip and didn't figure that out? Gee, we could have snarfed a 1/2 sheet by ourselves.
13:45 Rich Oh, yes.
13:45 Juicy Brucie Each day!
13:45 Rich right
13:45 Juicy Brucie Next time - fer sure!
13:46 Rich Deal
13:46 Rich So has anyone heard whether that was F&M this morning?
13:47 Juicy Brucie Anyone get a screen grab?
13:48 mab I thought I did, but cant find it.
13:50 Juicy Brucie Been there before!
13:54 Juicy Brucie So it's REALLY late for Derek now! That clock just got changed...
13:54 Juicy Brucie Better than having your clock cleaned, I s'pose... ;-)
13:55 mab My computer is so old mine was changed this morning.
13:55 Juicy Brucie I think the old ones are more durable - like almots anything else...
13:55 Ham101 Wndy therre, eh ? Cameral moving ajust a little
13:57 Rich http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?pid=30372018&l=52b193d599&id=1427016656
13:59 Juicy Brucie My guess - 'cause I wasn't there - is that the strong steam plume is Riverside. I could be wrong.
13:59 Rich From this array, the steam spread to Grotto area.
14:00 Juicy Brucie k
14:00 Rich And ?F&M was going before Riverside.
14:00 Rich very diffuse
14:00 Juicy Brucie So the diffuse plume is thus F&M, you think?
14:01 Juicy Brucie I can get on board with that thesis.
14:01 Rich I do
14:01 cb Hello all!!
14:01 Juicy Brucie Hi, cb!
14:01 Rich I have an hours or so worth of captures of all the activity over that way.
14:06 Rich Heavy Duty Grotto around 09:45
14:08 Juicy Brucie That Grotto could have been a start or a Rocket major
14:09 Rich First sign of something at ?F&M was just around the start of OF, around 08:30
14:10 Ryan Bruce did u see my pictures
14:11 Juicy Brucie Yepp, took a quick look Ryan - nice layout and design, good pictures too - gonna put your vids there?
14:11 Rich ni guest249213

14:26 Juicy Brucie Rich, could you relink your park shots?
14:29 cb Plume 1529

14:31 Juicy Brucie Rich, maybe make your park pix a link on your FB site.
14:33 cb Have we seen a Daisy yet this afternoon?
14:34 Juicy Brucie No Daisy recorded yet
14:35 cb Thanks Bruce
14:36 Juicy Brucie Derek saw a Daisy at 1146 - so ...
14:36 Juicy Brucie Another about 1400, and then another should be along at 1610 or later...but worth checking every once in awhile
14:37 cb yep..just did the same math

15:14 Juicy Brucie thanks for being a darlin!
15:14 Dave M F&M today at 1555
15:14 Graham I see two indicators
15:14 Dave M Enjoy BH
15:15 Juicy Brucie !!! So THAT was F&M!
15:15 Dave M Bye
15:15 Juicy Brucie Thanks Dave!
15:15 cb thanks Dave....thats what that was
15:16 Juicy Brucie The steam! It burns my eyes! AAAHHH!
15:16 Graham bubblers were going early this morning too Bruce
15:16 Rich Hi Dave M
15:16 cb BH 1616
15:16 Juicy Brucie Hi, Graham - thanks, missed them this morning
15:17 Graham good time for me to get home
15:17 Juicy Brucie If Beehive erupts and there's no one on the boardwalk, is it still wet?
15:17 Juicy Brucie It sure is *PRETTY*!
15:17 Juicy Brucie Looks very tall
15:18 cb Yeah....Now you like it!!! all that screaming about Daisy LOL
15:18 Juicy Brucie Wish I could snag video of this one
15:18 Rich hi guest861994
15:18 Graham no Bruce, it could just be a sheet of ice....its quite an ice slope on the BW in winter
15:18 Juicy Brucie I miss Daisy :-(
15:18 guest8619914 ok, now I could swear I saw this one on static cam BEFORE it was on the streaming cam...how could that be? I don't usually watch them simultaneously
15:18 HAL It's ok Juicy Brucie, I know the words.
15:19 Juicy Brucie I think thyat's posisble - the static cam has very little delay, while the stream has much more sometimes.
15:19 Rich Because the static is delayed.
15:20 cb And the static caught it w perfect timing
15:20 Graham streaming cam is often after the static cam
15:20 guest8619914 One of the many mysteries of wonderland?
15:20 Juicy Brucie Mysteries of the internet
15:20 Graham unless you are a cam operator...
15:20 cb g
15:20 Graham we see the eruptions before they happen so we can get the cam in the right place...most of the time
15:21 guest8619914 seems funny there are no gazers on the bw
15:21 Juicy Brucie You cam ops - all smug and everything... ;-)
15:21 Graham same as yesterday, few visitors just walked on by. probbaly be people there for closing next weekend
15:21 guest8619914 there's two coming now
15:21 Juicy Brucie Two too late
15:22 Juicy Brucie Check Daisy, please?
15:22 Graham you have not missed it, when was the last Daisy?
15:22 Kent Excellent. First time seeing Close To Cone for me. Thank you cb!
15:23 cb bowing!!!
15:23 Juicy Brucie Last Daisy was probably around 1400-ish
15:23 cb That was cool!!
15:23 Juicy Brucie cb, a fine,m fine job!
15:23 Derek Goodnight all
15:23 cb nite Derek
15:23 Juicy Brucie Goodnight, Derek - best to Beryl too!
15:24 guest8619914 I think some of you know my baby sister, Roadie
15:24 Graham I guess Derek is an hour earlier now, right? they are on GMT again not BST
15:25 cb seems late for him to be up
15:25 Juicy Brucie Know the name Roadie from the Ynet ande Loons - didn;t knwo she was a girl
15:25 Graham they changed clocks today
15:25 cb ahhh
15:25 Juicy Brucie Yepp, D was up LATE
15:25 Graham is that Depression?
15:25 guest8619914 I din't know you din't know but yup
15:26 Graham probably not but its a bit steamy
15:26 Graham just dwarfs I think now
15:26 Graham I have a hard time figuring out Dpression
15:27 Juicy Brucie I think it's very close to the bw
15:29 Juicy Brucie Plate looks very steamy
15:29 Graham well La Boheme was good but she still dies at the end
15:29 Juicy Brucie Dagnabbit! How many times will that poor girl have to kick the bucket?
15:29 cb brb
15:29 Graham I know, worse than having H1N1
15:30 Juicy Brucie :'D
15:30 Juicy Brucie Just like Carmen
15:30 Juicy Brucie and Cio-Cio-San
15:30 Juicy Brucie and what';s her name from La Traviata
15:31 Graham Violetta
15:31 Graham Tosca
15:32 Juicy Brucie ...and Leonore from La Forza, IIRC
15:32 Graham sometimes the guys end up dead too, sometimes everyone ends up dead...
15:32 Juicy Brucie again and again and again...
15:33 Juicy Brucie ...and sometimes, like Don Giovanni or Francesca da Rimini, they end up worse for the wear...
15:33 Kent Did anyone see F&M. I got back on just after 1600 and in time to see Indicator start and saw nothing going on down basin on static. Wind?
15:34 Graham SIege of Corinth is pretty good with a mass murder attack wheh the wedding bells ring out at the end..
15:34 Juicy Brucie Ewww - gross
15:34 Graham what? you talk about geysers here too as well as opera?
15:35 Juicy Brucie I prefer Fidelio or Guillaume Tell type stories...
15:35 guest8619914 a nice combination. is there a mention of a geyser in any operas?
15:35 guest8619914 perhaps Pamelia? It's about Jim Bridger
15:35 Juicy Brucie Better yet, bring on Figaro!
15:36 Juicy Brucie Let's write our own opera!
15:36 Juicy Brucie Drama against the backdrop of, and intimately involving, geysers!
15:36 guest8619914 or perhaps the next new geyser could be name Mimi? because it will probably die some day?
15:36 guest8619914 *named*
15:37 cb Daisy 1637
15:37 Juicy Brucie Sop - double interval of about 0225 each
15:38 Juicy Brucie cb, your timing was IMPECCABLE!
15:38 cb yeah it was....lucky catch
15:39 cb trying to make dinner and cam....
15:39 Juicy Brucie Next Daisy prediction - 1855 +/- 20
15:39 cb thank you bdm
15:39 Juicy Brucie YW - Just a guess :-)
15:41 cb there....feel better bruce BH and Daisy!!!
15:42 Juicy Brucie Ah, yes, much relieved! Thanks :-)
15:42 Juicy Brucie However, I fear there is little left to await...
15:42 cb ahhh but a few more OF's and Plumes
15:42 Juicy Brucie A daylight Grand is only a slight probability at best...
15:43 Juicy Brucie OK, well, then I guess we just keep it parked here then...
15:43 Rich So any word on F&M?
15:44 Juicy Brucie Other than what Dave said?
15:44 Kent Tara put it out on the list server
15:45 Juicy Brucie Yepp - eyewitness account. That seals it.
15:45 Rich Guess I missed that conversation.
15:45 cb you slleeping in the chair again Rich?
15:46 Juicy Brucie Must have been either a Grotto or else a strong steam output by Link this morning
15:46 cb Plume 1646
15:48 Rich No, trying to upload images for you all, and loose connection to meebo, then have to go back and read the log to catch up.
15:48 Graham Glad they got to see F&M
15:49 Graham another reason why nobody was at Beehive, they were at F&M instead, pretty good trade
15:49 Graham I am heading home, see you tomorrow.
15:49 Juicy Brucie Only 3 people tho, apparently...bye Graham!
15:50 Juicy Brucie WEll = some other things that I need to do, so I am on standby for awhile...
15:51 Rich Now I don't know if the Riverside at 15:59ie was F&M, hmmm
15:53 Rich My first capture of activity at ?Riverside was at 15:56 ie
15:53 Rich hmmm
15:54 Rich And I can talk to myself for hours on end.
15:54 Rich Graham you make it thru all my YNP photos?
15:55 Kent Your Riverside must have been F&M
15:55 cb yep wasn't sure that why I put the ? in
15:56 Rich And it looks just llike the one this morning, hmmm
15:56 Rich might have been riverside both times and just not seeing any steam from F&M
15:58 cb Bison below Castle
16:00 Allan Hi cb, Rich
16:01 cb Hi allan!!
16:02 cb not much happening in the basin
16:02 Allan I was going to ask about that. Looks like Castle is erupting.
16:02 cb been like that most of the afternoon
16:03 Allan Oh
16:04 Rich Hi Allan
16:04 cb how u and V?
16:05 Allan Me and V be fine!

16:08 Allan Good Riddance
16:08 Juicy Brucie lol
16:09 cb ck out the steam coming from behind Castle
16:09 cb behind the hill
16:09 Juicy Brucie Up near Mystic Falls?
16:10 Allan I noticed that. What do you suppose it is?
16:10 Allan Isn't Mystic falls Higher up on the hill?
16:10 cb Dont know? small steam cloud
16:10 Juicy Brucie It's in the canyon - othwerwise, dunno
16:11 cb something in Black Sand?
16:12 Juicy Brucie I would say it's about rhe right direction for Biscuit Basin and Mystic Falls
16:13 Juicy Brucie Look at tghis quickie map:
http://www.geocities.com/dmonteit/ugb.html
- it suggests that Nystic Falls is sort of behind Castle
16:13 Juicy Brucie Mystic Falls
16:14 cb I don't recall seeing that before
16:14 cb on the cam
16:14 Allan V asks, Black Diamond???
16:14 cb hum....
16:15 Juicy Brucie Black Diamond is right down at Biscuit, which is lower elevation - is that correct?
16:15 cb just seeing the top of the steam cloud
16:15 Juicy Brucie Near Firehole River level?
16:15 Juicy Brucie Is there a hill that big between OF and Biscuit?
16:16 cb There this will give a better idea of local
16:16 Allan Yes there is.
16:16 Juicy Brucie OK, I was unawares
16:17 Allan brb. going for coffee

16:20 Michael Oblong appears to be i.e. at 17:20.
16:23 Juicy Brucie Please look at this photo: http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?pid=30465894&id=1065175687- this map shows Hillside Springs at about the location where the strong steamer behoind Castle was located.
16:24 Juicy Brucie Either that, or I believe it is in the canyon wher Mystic Falls and the Little Firehole Rivewr is located.
16:25 cb to see it I have to have a Face book account.
16:25 Juicy Brucie Hmmm - let me think...
16:25 cb wont let me in
16:25 Juicy Brucie hang on -
16:27 cb Hi Ma and bo
16:27 Juicy Brucie OK, try this... http://s88.photobucket.com/albums/k172/bpnjensen/?action=view&current=UGB.jpg- that should do it.
16:31 Juicy Brucie It is literally right over Castle's cone. That makes it too far right for Black Sand, too far left for the bottom of Biscuit Basin, if my reckoning is correct.
16:31 cb Of 1731
16:32 Juicy Brucie Another beauty!
16:33 cb nice to have the blue sky background
16:37 Juicy Brucie Hello, whiskytango!
16:41 Juicy Brucie It could be - and this is based on the map only, without regard for strength or topograpy - Punchbowl Spring.
16:41 Juicy Brucie It is about the right location behind the hill immediately left of Daisy.
16:42 Allan I think cb should drive over and check it out. :D
16:42 cb whats interesting is everyonce in a while I can see very white steam...I have no idea
16:42 Allan Or perhaps vw.
16:42 cb I'd do that
16:42 cb she's closer
16:43 Juicy Brucie I wanna do it!
16:43 Juicy Brucie Hi, logo88 - nice hat!
16:43 Allan I need a house in West.
16:43 logo88 thanks
16:43 cb Have you seen it before?
16:43 Juicy Brucie I need a place in the OF Inn basement
16:43 cb birdcage....see more
16:43 Juicy Brucie There ya go!
16:44 Allan There's mice in the OF Inn.
16:44 Juicy Brucie I like mice.
16:44 Allan I don't. Caught 9 in my kitchen and basement last week
16:44 Juicy Brucie We have a few here too - the cats love 'em ;-)
16:45 Allan Got one that sprins the traps and runs away.
16:45 cb ewhhuuuu
16:45 Allan springs
16:45 Juicy Brucie We use the no-kill traps. Work like a charm
16:45 Allan Got no cat. Maybe I need several
16:45 Allan I was thinking of a no-kill trap.
16:45 cb got a little kitten over here that needs a good home
16:46 Juicy Brucie A little peanut butter and oatmeal, can't resist it
16:46 Allan I once had an office in an old carriage house.
16:46 Juicy Brucie ..and of course, the cats are foolproof
16:46 Allan Caught 21 mice in my office one winter.
16:46 Juicy Brucie Wow!
16:46 cb Yicks
16:47 Juicy Brucie Two weeks ago, they kepot us company at the OFInn
16:47 Juicy Brucie I saw them enjoying the crumbs
16:47 Juicy Brucie Rich missed them
16:48 Juicy Brucie I wa shappy for a room with comlementary pets
16:48 cb Had a dream about em right after we got home....was tearing the bed apart in the middle of the night
16:48 Allan Me thinks Castle is finally erupting... maybe
16:48 Juicy Brucie Cute as buttons
16:48 Juicy Brucie cb, tney won't hurtcha :-)
16:49 cb especially when there not there!!! dream mice
16:49 Juicy Brucie Evolving vitreous viscous volumes of vapor...
16:49 cb I'm gunna put my money on that steam coming from Black Sand basin
16:50 Juicy Brucie Fulminating from the massive maw of Castle
16:50 cb kinda remember G giving me a quiz on steam clouds
16:50 Juicy Brucie OK - but based on the map, I think Black Sand is too far left.
16:50 cb and that beening in the general area
16:51 cb yeah
16:51 cb seems like it might be on the path between the BSB and Daisy
16:52 Juicy Brucie That could be either Punchbowl or Black Sand Pool?
16:52 Juicy Brucie I am a slave to the map :-)
16:52 mab Geesh, it took me about 6 tries to get in. Is your steam cloud still there?
16:52 Juicy Brucie Yes!
16:52 cb here comes the bison again
16:53 cb Hi ma
16:53 Juicy Brucie Steam on the stream
16:53 cb yes behind Castle
16:53 cb to the L
16:53 cb here I'll zoom
16:53 Juicy Brucie *just* left of an behind Castle's cone.
16:53 mab I cant see streaming cam, so just listening in. So its steady and not periodic, I guess?
16:54 mab I was thinking about going tomorrow if there was no F&M today or I would offer to go investigate.
16:54 cb ahhh yes steady and just to the left of Castle
16:54 Juicy Brucie Quite steady, but comes form behind a hill, so occasionally obscured by the topography
16:54 cb behind the hill
16:55 Juicy Brucie Pretty big hill too - a couple of hundred feet high
16:55 mab hmm. and you streamer people have never noticed it before?
16:55 Juicy Brucie Does not look familiar to me - but could be the lighting and coldness that make sit prominent today
16:56 Juicy Brucie Now I see two steaming things back there.
16:56 cb I not noticed it before...however Graham did quiz me on some steamers way back.....I believe they were over father to the L
16:56 Juicy Brucie cb, can you go farther left?
16:56 mab its just another fun thing to keep track of then!
16:57 cb now thats BSB
16:57 Juicy Brucie The hillside in front of it is faireoly rugged, with obvious open rock faces near it's crest'
16:57 mab I will get to use streaming at Thanksgiving visit, with my luck no one will be running the cam as they eat turkey
16:57 Juicy Brucie There - that's BSB for sure.
16:57 cb to the far L
16:57 cb yep
16:58 Juicy Brucie And Hillside Spring well up the hill
16:58 cb wishing you had the stream mab
16:59 cb Castle 1759 ie
16:59 Juicy Brucie I;d say ns on the Castle
17:00 mab So you can see Hillside Spgs?
17:00 Juicy Brucie Saw thenm above BSB
17:00 mab BSB meaning Black Sand and not BB meaning Biscuit, right
17:00 Juicy Brucie right
17:01 cb allan what you think?
17:01 mab Gees you could time Jewel from the webcam! lol
17:02 Allan Sorry, I was away. I'm thinking...
17:02 mab I guess the best thing would be to stand at the webcam tree, look for steam, and then go bike down.
17:03 cb Thats what I'd do!!
17:03 mab Re-reading logs, I will go on record saying Mice are nasty to have in your house.
17:03 Juicy Brucie On the map you can draw a line right form the webcam tree, just left of Castle, and hit Punchbowl dead center.
17:03 cb Theres a little white snag that seems to point to the steam
17:04 Juicy Brucie Yes, very tiny snag
17:04 mab Yeah cb, it would pay to see it from that spot, then keep an eye on it as you travel thataway
17:04 Allan I think it's in the direction of Biscuit Basin. I'm going by the hill in the background.
17:04 Allan Vicki's going to check the Geyser Bible
17:05 Juicy Brucie I think Biscuit is farther right - based again on the map: http://s88.photobucket.com/albums/k172/bpnjensen/?action=view&current=UGB.jpg
17:05 Allan Punch Bowl is between Daisy and Black Sand.
17:05 mab it is still there? when the sun went down here I could suddenly see my breath
17:05 cb yes
17:05 Juicy Brucie Yes, between Daisy and Black Sand Pool, whcih is along the same trail
17:05 mab Black Sand pool is purty big.
17:06 Juicy Brucie Yes, it's a biggie
17:06 mab I like it.
17:06 mab I have used that trail to get to Giant when unfortunately I happened to not be there. hmm
17:06 Juicy Brucie I likie dit when I saw it once. What is that big hole-shaped spring near it? In a chasm?
17:06 mab Got some shots from Daisy that way.
17:06 Juicy Brucie Is that it?
17:07 mab Hole shaped?
17:07 cb gunna bring bill into the discussion
17:07 Juicy Brucie There is a large feature in a pretty deep pit-shaped depression out there
17:07 Allan Bruce, V and I just looked at the topo you put up. We think you're right. Punch Bowl dead center.
17:08 mab Thats probably Black Sand pool Bruce, it even has log barriers around it.
17:08 Juicy Brucie OK - do you now see two steam streams?
17:08 Allan The topo shows the hill we see quite clearly.
17:08 mab Big. Deep. Blue.
17:08 Juicy Brucie Yes, I remember log barriers - looke dquite dangeorus
17:08 cb yep see 2
17:09 Juicy Brucie So - would Punchbowl's boil be big enojgh to steam that vigorously this time of evening?
17:09 cb LOL looking over a nice eruption of castle to see steam clouds LOL'
17:10 mab why do you think you havent noticed it before?
17:12 cb may have...just now takin notice
17:12 Juicy Brucie Either we were paying too much attention to that silly Beehive thingie, or it hasn't been cold enough ;-)
17:13 cb you given BH a hard time tonight
17:13 cb sup w that
17:13 cb dishen BH.....shessssh
17:13 Juicy Brucie Beehive is getting lots of exposure at the expense of other things like Little Squirt, Belgian Pool and Marmot Cave.
17:14 cb Nice Castle
17:14 Juicy Brucie Very nice Castle
17:14 Juicy Brucie Suppertime for cats - gotta give them their Mouse-morsels...
17:15 cb ok
17:15 Allan I have one I'd love to mail to you :D
17:16 Allan If I could only catch it.
17:16 Juicy Brucie PB & Oatmeal
17:16 Allan I'll try it.
17:16 Juicy Brucie nirvana for mice
17:17 mab sheesh I can barely stay connected.
17:17 Juicy Brucie Sorry, mab! :-(
17:17 Juicy Brucie Hi, FAM.!
17:17 FAM. hii
17:17 mab Bruce do you think that Marmot Cave you saw the other day might have been =Mouth= (so called)
17:17 FAM. u a girl
17:17 Juicy Brucie We are watching Yellowstone Geysers on the Old Faithful webcams
17:18 Juicy Brucie NO, I be a boy
17:18 mab I was thinking that could be a Fan And Mortar nickname. FAM
17:19 Juicy Brucie mab, what is Mouth? The one I know of is that little sput right next to the bw that eropts a alot, about 15 feet in front tof the "cave".
17:19 Juicy Brucie The cave always ha sa runoff waterfall pouring over it
17:20 cb Bruce....I think your attacting the wrong kinda folks w your new handle!!!
17:20 Juicy Brucie I just can't win ;-)
17:21 mab I think that is what they were calling Mouth this year.
17:21 Allan B, maybe you should try "Mongo" :)
17:22 Juicy Brucie Oh - could be. Mongo? sheesh, do I look like a Blazing Saddles character?
17:22 Allan Don't know if you do. What you need is something that sounds ugly and mean.
17:22 Juicy Brucie Maybe I'll just go back to "Old Barnacle Butt" - howzat?
17:23 cb I like the ol BB
17:23 cb easy to type also
17:24 mab Before I get disco-ed again, was consensus that it was Punch Bowl?
17:24 cb I think so!
17:24 mab Super burst from Demons Cave. KIDDING
17:26 cb nice pink in the landscape tonight
17:26 Allan Yes it is
17:26 Allan I really like the evenings
17:26 cb Me too!!
17:27 Bruce da Moose OK - back to this. Nobody mistakes a moose for a hormonally-hyped hottie
17:27 Bruce da Moose Thank you Allan :-)
17:27 cb I don't know what you think Allan
17:27 Allan You're welcome! :)
17:28 Bruce da Moose Whoa - nice steam...
17:29 Bruce da Moose Grand's window is almost about to reopen...
17:31 Allan Well, let's have a Grand before we leave for the evening...
17:31 Bruce da Moose Must be a Grotto
17:31 cb ditto to that
17:33 Bruce da Moose I may have miscalculated on Grand -
17:33 cb what time was it?
17:34 Bruce da Moose It was 1224 - nope, I'm OK. Still pretty early though.
17:34 Kent Speaking of Beehive. Sorry Bruce. This time last year the average interval was about 23 hours so the current intervals aren't out of line.
17:34 Bruce da Moose I would not hold my breath!
17:35 Bruce da Moose Umm - OK - but no need to "Bee" sorry, Kent!
17:35 cb yuck, yuck yuck
17:36 Bruce da Moose Beehive does lots of things, so any interval is to be expected I guess.
17:36 Kent bad, really bad :^)
17:36 Bruce da Moose Sorry about the bad jokes. I;m getting tired :-)
17:37 mab Mr Nineteen hour wants his Beehives. But we were digging anything less than 24 this year.
17:37 Allan Any one here interested in applied mathematics?
17:37 Bruce da Moose We had one today, a bit more than 16 hours.
17:38 Bruce da Moose I like math in general - whatcha got?
17:38 Allan There is a nice article in the # Sept. issue of Nature.
17:38 Bruce da Moose I'd rather see it applied than just done for its own sake.
17:38 mab I wasnt here yesterday, how did you get the 16? wasn't it around 1530 yesterday?
17:39 Allan It's about the signs shown by complex systems when they are heading towards a change in behavior.
17:39 Bruce da Moose Hmm- maybe I read Rich'sog wrong
17:39 Bruce da Moose log
17:39 Bruce da Moose Allan, do they cite any specific kind sof systems?
17:40 Bruce da Moose Your topic immeditaley reminds me of a Transactions article from a few years back on Plume and it's behavior
17:41 Allan Yes. Ocean circulation, financial markets, epileptic seizures, wildlife populations,...
17:41 Allan Are you familiar with dynamical systems theory?
17:42 Bruce da Moose No, sorry - serious math is far in my past, I'm afraid
17:43 Allan Too bad. I'm planning to look into the application of the ideas in this article to geysers later this fall, or winter.
17:44 Allan Lots of good work has been done in dynamical systems theory since computers became commonplace
17:44 Bruce da Moose I would knock myselrf out to read whatever you decide to write :-)
17:45 Allan If I find something for the Transactions, I'll make it readable. I promise
17:45 Rich Calm, unsettled, Chaos, unsettled, calm
17:45 Allan Sort of, but not quite, R
17:46 cb Where'd you disappear to R?
17:48 Bruce da Moose well, sadly folks, I need to go - much, much to do before bedtime. Have a great evening, and may Grand erupt right after I leave :-)
17:48 Allan Good night Bruce
17:48 cb Thanks BDM...enjoy the rest of the evening
17:49 Rich To a magical kingdom of invisibility.
17:50 cb Ahhhh
17:51 mab its getting dark and I can finally stay connected. Go Fgure.
17:51 cb lol
17:52 Allan mab, are you on dial-up?
17:52 cb saw you flashing in and out....I was having same prob yesterday
17:52 mab yes, dialup.
17:52 mab I get in thru a link that doesn't have a cam attached, and keep static running in another window.
17:56 Allan Do you have trouble only on certain days of the week?
17:56 Allan I'm wondering if you service provider is overloaded with customers.
17:57 Rich I prefer to think of Chaos as the interconnection of string theory.
17:58 cb OF needs to hurry up....Its getting dark...to dark to see
17:58 Rich By some chance was that OF?
17:59 cb nope
17:59 cb lotta brief steam
17:59 Allan R, in dynamical systems chaos has very specific properties.
18:00 Allan String theory attempts to be deterministic.
18:00 mab I havent kept track of days of week, but its a good though Allan. Saturdays may be busy here in the sticks!
18:00 Graham just home in time to see it get dark
18:00 Rich Of course chaos has to be constrained.
18:00 Graham haha
18:00 cb you made it home
18:00 cb g
18:00 Graham yep, normal traffic
18:00 Rich hi rhbm
18:00 cb Hey RHBM
18:00 RHBM howdy
18:00 Graham 97 min for 100 miles
18:00 Rich mmmm
18:01 RHBM what are all theses folks doing hanging around OF int eh dark?
18:01 Rich 59.75 mph
18:01 Graham yep......speed limit is 65 most of the way
18:01 Graham anything wild happen while I was gone?
18:01 Rich She asks as she sits at home watching same on a monitor.
18:01 Allan mab, that was what I was thinking. Saturday and Sunday evenings might be high use times.
18:02 Allan Sunday evenings if school kids need to use Google
18:02 mab well dont those people know we need to watch geysers, download facebook maps AND chat?
18:02 cb lmao
18:02 Rich Yes.
18:02 Allan No they don't the inconsiderate B*****ds
18:02 Rich It is their INTERNET.
18:03 Allan No, its OURS!!!!
18:03 RHBM Dang, the old folks need it more!
18:03 Rich Theirs/Ours???
18:03 Allan YUP!!!
18:03 Allan Yup to the old folks need it more.
18:03 cb or as g-kids say,,,,MINE!
18:04 RHBM i found out today that my 25 year old neice only checks her email every few days. She has no clue how cool the whold deal is.
18:04 mab Graham you missed Beehive F&M and Punch Bowl.
18:04 cb g
18:04 RHBM what time was F&M?
18:04 Rich In 97 minutes?
18:04 Rich 15:55
18:04 Allan I think it's time to say good night. There ain't no contrast on my screen.
18:05 cb think the same
18:05 Rich turn up the volume.
18:05 mab likewise
18:05 RHBM i cna barely see ridgeline
18:05 RHBM lol, rich
18:05 Allan It's an even shade of black.
18:05 cb nite all thanks for the company
18:05 RHBM ttfn
18:05 Rich First in last out.
18:05 Graham I saw BH
18:05 Allan Good night!
18:05 cb OF 1905
18:05 RHBM that's ta ta for now, for you kids out there
18:05 Rich nite Allan
18:06 Rich Ta TA
18:06 Rich I don't feel like dancing, no sir, no dancing today.
18:06 Rich Ta Da
18:06 Graham missed the Punch Bowl...was it tasty?
18:06 RHBM I've gotta get the kids in bed. Arg.
18:06 Rich Hi guest694181
18:07 Rich Herd them up, tye them down.
18:07 RHBM Hey, see that person taking picutes out there? too funny!
18:07 Rich The instant water was the best.
18:07 Graham oh well, see you all tomorrow
18:07 Rich nite Graham, enjoy my photos.
18:08 RHBM They are flashing on the geyser. Very funny effect.
18:08 cb ok I done for the evening
18:08 cb See ya all tomorrow
18:08 Rich nite cb
18:08 RHBM you can see the screen for the camera!
18:08 Rich cell phones
18:09 RHBM very funny to watch.
18:09 Rich People with flashlights are also, especially kids writing things.
18:09 RHBM that's the first time I've seen that.
18:09 Rich ah
18:10 Rich A joy to behold.
18:10 Rich Modern Technology
18:10 RHBM Now I'll go round up my hooligans! 'Nite!
18:10 Rich nite RHBM
18:10 Rich Ham101 was in earlier
18:11 Rich What can be the topic of tonights discussion?
18:12 Rich How do a blind person and a deaf person communicate?
18:12 Rich Answer: Thru a computer.
18:15 Rich Let's see, if you take one string and cross any other string at an angle less than or great to 180 degrees, add that to a third string similarly place - so as not to be in parallel with the either of the first two.
18:16 Rich How you ask can a string cross another at 180 degrees, the property of a string.
18:16 Rich You fold time.
18:17 Rich If you connect the missing ccs in the web cam together, you can approximate a random pattern.
18:18 Rich But then it never changes, so it isn't random anymore.
18:18 Rich it is static.
18:18 Rich Hence the static web cam.
18:19 Rich Tonights pattern: Orion, how many examples of Orion can you find in the static cam missing pixels?
18:19 Rich I will stop at 2.
18:19 Rich More than enough.
18:19 Rich A unique id pattern for the static cam.
18:20 Rich Then of course you can change the pattern by simply zooming in or out with the cam.
18:21 Rich Wonder what happens to space time if you find strings attached end to end in a continuous chain?
18:21 Rich That has to be one possibility of strings.
18:22 Rich Maybe it is a hiccup in time/space. That's it Ground Hog Day.
18:22 Rich Hi Kent
18:23 Kent Hi Rich. I think you are talking to yourself again:)
18:23 Rich Wonder what theory there is to cover the non convergence of strings in space or time?
18:23 Rich Still
18:23 Rich I was trying for an hour of self exploration.
18:24 Kent Sort of cheap therapy?
18:24 Rich Haven't even started on the therapy angle yet.
18:24 Rich Just the What if's of my life, What if I had attended MIT?
18:24 Rich OR Standford?
18:25 Rich How much room would there be in my mind?
18:25 Kent I gave up years ago. Figured out I was beyond help
18:25 Rich Would have been interesting, wish I had had a teacher to learn me the way.
18:25 Rich Then you are half way to sanity.
18:25 Rich Keep going.
18:26 Kent Off to watch a little TV
18:26 Kent Night
18:26 Rich Enjoy
18:26 Rich Still have 1 1/2 hours before prime time here.
18:29 Rich Had a couple of real Teachers. One was an eighth grade math teacher. Instilled/developed my interest in math. Well make that one Teacher. A couple of close ones, tho. A high school mechanical drawing teacher and a second year HS algebra teacher.
18:30 Rich #refer back to question number 1.
18:32 Rich Persistance of vision.
18:32 Rich Sorry Mrs. Pugh.
18:32 Rich Persistence?
18:32 Rich Google here I come.
18:33 Rich Correct the second time.
18:34 Rich And if strings are part of chaos, how does one see them in the first place? Aren't they costantely moving/changing?
18:34 Rich must be the POV thingie.
18:36 Rich Which brings us back to the css missing in the webcam.
18:37 Rich They are false light.
18:38 Rich How can they exist?
18:38 Rich If they aren't there/working how do we know?
18:38 Rich Trees falling in the forest - again.
18:39 Rich Wonder if there is minimum space between/surrounding strings?
18:39 Rich When does gravity start affecting them?
18:40 Rich Do they have gravity?
18:40 Rich And if they do, wouldn't they end up unifiying?
18:40 Rich So throw out string theory. No randomness.
18:41 Rich Or one really complex/packed reality?
18:41 Rich Well that is my 30 minutes.
18:41 Rich Nite guest921902
18:41 Rich Nite Yellowstone
18:42 Rich Nite Einstein, where ever you are.
18:42 Rich Oops sorry I just bumped into you.
22:30 Bruce da Moose You're a crazy guy, Rich! :'D

October 26th, 2009

05:53 HAL Good Morning Yellowstone and all the minions

06:30 CC hi
06:31 CC looks like it might be snowing in the basin
06:31 cb haven't got the sleep outta my eyes to tell yet
06:32 CC static cam looks blurry
06:32 Rich hi cb
06:32 cb morning Rich
06:33 Rich I think the blurry is just due to low light levels.
06:33 cb ahhh coffee
06:33 CC I hope so because I will not be around to wipe the lens
06:33 Rich I can smell it from here.
06:34 cb ahhh thats right
06:34 CC but I will be in contact with the park and they can do it
06:34 CC Aurum 7:34
06:35 cb Have fun w the kids.....I have to leave shortly....going to watch the boys at there house today
06:35 CC have fun

06:38 cb shots
06:39 cb Rich you want a kitten?
06:39 cb VERY cute
06:39 RH And when did I see that coming? g
06:39 RH Cats don't like me.
06:39 cb Just thought about it!
06:39 RH g
06:40 RH I had a hint back when 'There was the kitten on the porch"
06:40 cb lol
06:40 RH Put it on Craiglist
06:40 cb Well now theres a kitten on my Lap
06:41 cb and in my heart
06:41 RH of course, I wouldn't have expected anything less.
06:42 RH I've had cats, they are so cute, but after they stop needing my attention, they have separate lives from me. Not what I consider a pet.
06:43 cb signs up this weekend all around our neighborhood....Kitten Found Call.....Think someone went around the block dropping off a litter of not weened kittens
06:44 RH most likely
06:44 bb how inconsiderate of them
06:44 bb ill take that cat off your hands cb
06:44 cb yep Big Kitty is giving me the cold shoulder
06:44 RH Put up a counter sign = Have your pet neutered, save the neighborhood.
06:45 cb Thats a good idea
06:45 RH Every place there is a free puppy/kitten sign.
06:46 cb nope....mine now
06:46 cb and every store entry way
06:46 RH And you will have it neutered?
06:46 cb yep...NOT want a litter of kittens....OMG!!
06:47 RH Very good. You have learned well my special.
06:47 RH or is that 'My Pretty'?
06:47 cb that sounds like.....spegil
06:47 cb you a hobbit
06:48 RH Or the Wicked W of the West.
06:48 bb no dorathy
06:48 bb your not in kansas anymore
06:48 cb ohhhhhh
06:48 RH Hey, watch it big boy, My Mother was Dorothy and she was from Kansas.
06:48 cb daaaaaaa
06:48 RH And I have the house to prove it. lol
06:48 cb g
06:49 RH Hi guest102995
06:49 RH Hi guest302167
06:49 cb Well I need to be off. Help me Mr. Wizard
06:49 cb Gotta get ready to go!
06:50 RH OFF, I thought you were. Oh, you meant to the Gkids.
06:50 RH have a good day.
06:50 RH so bb left? hmmm
06:50 RH interesting how things work there.
06:50 cb Thanks Rich you to. he's getting ready to go to wk
06:51 RH k
06:51 RH Going to try.
06:51 RH To dark out to tell much about the day right now.
06:56 RH Plume ie 07:55:03 wc
06:58 RH String theory anyone?
06:58 RH String cheese anyone?
07:03 RH Hi lcd
07:03 lcd good morning
07:03 RH Seems to be.
07:04 lcd is Little Squirt ie?
07:04 RH there is lots of steam there, let me review my captures.
07:07 RH Looks like it has been steaming at least since around 07:25 and there appears to be a burst around 07:33.
07:08 RH I think there is something steaming also on the upslope of Giantess.
07:08 lcd ty
07:09 RH ur w
07:13 RH hi guest395062
07:15 RH First light was around 07:18
07:17 RH So we should be seeing OF soon.
07:17 RH at least within 1/2 hour.
07:19 lcd is Beehive doing 24+ hr intervals or is that double interval?
07:20 RH I was just starting to try and catch up on beehive
07:20 RH Beehive date, time, interval 10/14/09 11:55 20:24 10/16/09 17:24 53:29 10/17/09 07:15 13:51 10/18/09 17:05 33:50 10/19/09 07:57 14:52 10/21/09 16:59 59:02 10/22/09 11:54 18:55 10/24/09 15:41 10/25/09 16:16
07:20 RH I haven't figure intervals for a while
07:22 lcd with short days it may be tough to figure.

09:03 RH Looks like we had an initial earlier then.
09:04 Bruce da Moose Apparently - nobody here is running the stream, if at all. I cannot tell, having only the static.
09:04 RH interval time.
09:04 Bruce da Moose That static do not want to refresh, do it?
09:05 RH happens
09:05 Bruce da Moose There it goes - Lion is finishing up...
09:05 RH bhi?
09:06 Bruce da Moose That Lion was roughly 0140 interval - kinda long
09:07 Bruce da Moose Can't quite tell about BHI...
09:07 RH I know one way to tell.
09:07 Bruce da Moose yes!
09:08 Bruce da Moose BHI - 1007 ns
09:08 Bruce da Moose dagnabbit! static won;t refresh!
09:09 RH Patiences
09:09 Bruce da Moose yeah, but without the stream, one needs to review more than one static to be certain.
09:09 GreekD2486 that was a loooooong preplay from OF
09:09 RH It has been in all the recent refreshes
09:10 RH Going strong too
09:10 Bruce da Moose BEEHIVE 1010
09:11 Bruce da Moose Short indicator again!
09:12 RH VEry nice

09:14 RH HAL is being reprogrammed but don't tell him.
09:14 Bruce da Moose Hi, derek!
09:14 RH dud
09:15 Bruce da Moose ???
09:15 sparekitty HAL needs cable! the feed is so much better live/streaming.
09:15 Bruce da Moose the capture fizzled?
09:15 sparekitty so what's to the left of BH?
09:15 sparekitty just petering out...
09:16 RH Dwarfs or Depression
09:16 Bruce da Moose You were referring to that TINY puff?
09:16 sparekitty it was bigger a minute ago, bruce...
09:16 RH Close in would be bubblers
09:16 sparekitty like actually erupting or something.
09:16 Bruce da Moose Rh has it...
09:16 Bruce da Moose enhanced bubblers, likely
09:17 RH sparekitty there are several nice holes to the left of BH about 5-10 ft.
09:17 RH hi guest977751
09:18 Bruce da Moose Well, I am in the unenviable position of having to accomplish miracles today at work, so I better get going. I will be on standby for awhile...
09:18 sparekitty this one is far left, near the edge of the streaming cam screen.
09:18 sparekitty later, bruce.
09:18 RH sorry, can't help there sparekitty
09:18 RH don't know the any reference marks
09:19 sparekitty it's near wher the boardwalk curves; if BH is 6p then this would be about 7p
09:20 RH Depression or Dwarfs

09:32 guest783919 Duhh... I was typing when you already called it
09:33 guest783919 Getting my bearings
09:33 guest783919 focused on Sawmill right now?
09:34 Derek Who are you? Do we know you by another name? :-)
09:35 guest783919 Probably not... Been awhile since I've been to the park... Use to spend many many many summers there...
09:36 guest783919 Bill Masella is who I am.
09:36 Derek Well, I've never been to the park.
09:36 Derek I'm one of the 5 volunteer cam operators
09:36 guest783919 ahhhh...
09:37 Derek I'm probably the only NPS volunteer who doesn't live in the USA LOL
09:37 guest783919 Just found the cam chat actually... I peek in on the stream quite a bit...
09:38 guest783919 where are you Derek?
09:38 Bruce da Moose - STANDBY Bill, it's one of this group's stated goals to get Derek to the park one day :-)
09:38 Derek I'm about 35 miles east of London
09:38 guest783919 I usually find myself planted at Atermesia reading books and trying to watch water levels in the pool while I get an extreme sunburn on my neck and forehead
09:39 Derek I have a hell of a lot to thank Bruce for. He was the first Yellowstone fan to contact me.
09:40 guest783919 So are we looking at the Grand complex now?
09:40 Derek He's helped a lot with my geyser related knowledge
09:40 Derek Him and a guy called Graham Meech
09:41 guest783919 I know Graham
09:41 Derek I'm aimed at Spasmodic
09:41 guest783919 Not sure he would remember me... but we've talked qutie a bit.
09:44 Derek Graham operates the cam late in the day, on some days
09:44 hot_guy any girls here who want to cam with a cute german guy? pm me ;)
09:44 Derek CC is the boss operator
09:44 Derek We don't have webcams. We are here to watch live video of geysers erupting at Yellowstone National Park, USA
09:45 guest783919 Thanks for all you do...

10:52 mab I think most of mine were from the boardwalk farther south.
10:53 Bill M oh well I still have the picture in my "mind's eye".
10:53 mab They are FILM, I will have to look and see if I can even find them. I moved since then, I am closer to ynp now. :)

10:53 mab Check the GOSA site, that's a sample of mine, I never really moved around too much for other viewpoints.

10:54 Bill M lol
10:54 Bill M I will do that.

10:56 Bill M you remember my last name right
10:56 mab And if you can find Mike F's videos on the net you can watch them. I am on dialup so don't go there, but used to look at them in Billings from time to time.

15:43 Rich I think I forgot to save that grand. oh well.
15:43 Rich Don't even know if that was plume now.
15:45 Bruce da Moose That Grand should be a ns.
15:45 Rich k
15:46 Graham im back
15:46 Bruce da Moose The first Capture we saw was obviously the initial rocket of water
15:46 Graham meebo went dead on me
15:46 Bruce da Moose dagnabbit!
15:46 Rich sorry
15:46 Bruce da Moose Meebo can do that -
15:47 Graham wondered why you were so quiet, then noticed that no names showed up in the list
15:48 Bruce da Moose Graham - I saw a brief plume of steam to the right of Lion that was NOT Heart Spring, about 40% of the way to OF's  cone.
15:48 Rich I need a network.
15:49 Graham Depression 1647ie
15:49 Bruce da Moose It occurred to me that it might be Ear Spring, but it was pretty good size.
15:49 Bruce da Moose Other than North Goggle, could it be anything else?
15:49 Graham steam comes up there sometimes,,,hard to tell with this perspective
15:49 Graham was it on the treeline?
15:49 Bruce da Moose Yes, right at the edge.
15:50 Bruce da Moose having only the static cam, it was impossible to get a closeup
15:50 Graham theres a little steam there now. maybe Ear spring steam?
15:51 Graham or is that the sign...hehe
15:51 Bruce da Moose It could be - however, the height of the bright white portion - about 10-12 feet - and wishful thinking make me hope for something else.
15:51 Bruce da Moose No, I see the sign ;-)
15:51 Graham was it left or right of the sign where the trail goes to Sawmill
15:51 Bruce da Moose It was literally right at the sign
15:51 Graham could it have been stray Lion steam?
15:51 Bruce da Moose It practically covered the sign. lion looked more or less like it doe snow.
15:51 Graham 10 min for Grand...
15:52 Bruce da Moose Is Depression stil playing?
15:52 Bruce da Moose From this angle, it looks just like BH
15:53 Graham yeah
15:53 Graham but below rim
15:53 Bruce da Moose Really small...
15:53 Graham its over
15:53 Bruce da Moose The "dwarves" are bigger...
15:53 Bruce da Moose No wonder it's depressed!
15:54 Graham steam by the sign could have been from Kitty or obe of the other small sputs there
15:54 Graham right there, steamy spot by the sign
15:54 Bruce da Moose BH put on a nice show with short BHI this morning
15:55 Bruce da Moose Yeah, I see some steam in front of the BW
15:55 Bruce da Moose LION again?
15:55 Rich time for it
15:55 Bruce da Moose LION 1655
15:56 Graham The screen shot was 1654
15:56 Bruce da Moose ok
15:56 Bruce da Moose the statics are loading REALLY slow today
15:56 Graham cam seems sluggish today
15:56 Bruce da Moose There's that steam boil again
15:56 Bruce da Moose now gone
15:57 Graham so that is at least 8 Lions
15:57 Rich I think I caught it that time.
15:57 Bruce da Moose Well, I have to go get my son at band practice, so I'll see you guys later. Carry on!
15:57 Graham bye
15:58 Rich Later Bruce
15:58 Rich I'm assume some one posted a time for lion, I'll look in the log.
16:03 Graham it was 1654

16:08 guest395062 seemkethe lion intervals shortened recently-
16:09 Graham and there have been a lot of eruptions in series since Giantess
16:11 guest395062 any changes in north goggle?
16:16 Rich Lion is running long series.
16:16 Graham nobody has seen an eruption of N Goggle
16:17 vw Good evening. Had trouble getting in.
16:17 Rich hi vw
16:17 Rich seems to be the affect de jour.
16:17 vw others too? hate to be alone.
16:18 Rich I know for sure Graham.
16:18 Rich And I see people popping in and out and not coming back.
16:18 Rich Waiting for #9 Lion.
16:18 vw all i got was the vid screen, but no names, no chat. couple of tries.
16:19 vw ooh. Active day with Lion!
16:19 guest7175807 hi
16:19 Rich afraid we won't get the end, it will be after dark.
16:19 vw hi guest!
16:19 Graham going to be hard to see the 10th Rich
16:19 Rich Hi guest7175807
16:19 Rich lol
16:20 Rich I was just hoping to make it past #4
16:20 Rich I'm happy.
16:20 Rich Won't have to watch for Lion tomorrow. g
16:20 Graham good for you Rich...avoided disapointment
16:20 Graham hey vw......when do you head for the park this weekend?
16:21 Rich I just wanted to know that it hadn't gone back to short series.
16:21 vw Probably not going. Weather turning, too much work. :(
16:21 guest3232871 hi
16:21 Rich :(
16:21 guest3232871 who wants to cam with me?
16:21 Rich hi guest3232871
16:22 guest3232871 hi
16:22 Rich hi guest395062
16:22 Rich  
http://www.nps.gov/archive/yell/oldfaithfulcam.htm
This is a link to the webcams we are watching. We are watching the geysers in Yellowstone National Park.
16:22 Graham oh vw...going to be a long wait to see another geyser....
16:23 vw yeah, i know G. but the force just isn't with me right now.
16:23 vw always have here. :)
16:23 vw was watching stream a bit today at the office. Realized i was missing the smell.
16:23 Graham ahhh its not the same. Have to come and join me in Jan :)
16:23 Rich g
16:23 vw I can get that at Mammoth over the winter too.
16:24 vw Might be good for a January visit. Maybe by then I will get through my stacks of work?
16:24 vw Need to hire an asistant. Three + months without one is taking its toll on me.
16:25 Graham Plume 1725
16:25 Graham or 1724 static
16:26 Graham 43 min interval!
16:26 vw gotta settle in for the evening. brb.
16:26 Rich hb
16:27 Graham you can almost do an overnight too vw.....in on the morning snowcoach from Mammoth, and out on the next afternoon one
16:27 Graham would need to be at Mammoth early tho
16:30 Rich hi sparekitty
16:33 greenske hi
16:33 Rich hi
16:34 vw back.
16:34 Rich wb
16:35 vw Getting to Mammoth early is no problem G, its making arrangements for the two and four legged creatures at home that prevent me from being able to stay over mostg of the time.
16:36 vw getting Mammoth early is how I can do one day trips!
16:36 Graham put the two legged ones in a kennel and the 4 legged ones at a friends house
16:36 vw I will pass that suggestion on to my son and see what he says!
16:36 Graham how old is he again?
16:36 Rich lol
16:37 vw just turned 16. Just old enough to stay home alone, but maybe almost too old to trust? :D
16:37 vw actually, pretty good kid.
16:37 vw i have been blessed with multiple good kids.
16:38 Graham haha...he can be put out to fend for himself
16:38 vw Older ones are now old enough though to tell me all the things they did as teens. Probably not a good thing for Joshua!
16:38 Rich STake him out in the back yard??
16:39 Graham I am sure he can find someone with a car to go out and party
16:39 vw work with too many social workers to get away with that R!
16:39 vw That would be how it starts G!
16:39 Rich g
16:39 Graham what trouble can you get up to in Billings in January?
16:40 vw basketball games, wrestling matches, all kinds of school activities begging for after events...
16:40 Rich And you were born 30?
16:41 vw kids getting into trouble when parents are home is bad, kids getting in trouble when parents are hours away is when the courts get involved.
16:41 Graham that sounds like fun activities, not troublesome
16:41 vw i know. i do that kind of law and represent those parents.
16:42 lilkaduri1 ello
16:42 lilkaduri1 hey peeps
16:42 Graham yeah but he knows you will find out if he gets in trouble
16:42 vw dont know about that! after the stories his siblings tell, i guess i wasnt so vigilent!
16:43 Graham hum, now airfares are up to $671 for Jan
16:43 Rich Where there is a will, there is a way.
16:43 vw thats quite a bit more than they were a month ago?
16:43 Graham hha yeah and I bet they are scarred for life
16:44 vw X-D
16:44 Graham yeah but I am waiting for them to go down....lets see how smart I am ... haha
16:44 vw that is the fare into Bozeman?
16:44 Graham yep
16:45 vw what happens to the price if you fly into Idaho Falls? would have to add a rental, but might save enough money.
16:45 Graham I want to leave late in the day from here...when its the most expensive :(
16:45 Rich  
http://www.redbubble.com/people/richardkeech/journ…
16:45 vw whats the link R?
16:46 vw how many days are you planning for G?
16:46 Graham corse its cheaper than flying from National to Boston next week for work, they want over 700 for that flight
16:48 vw Last time I flew to Boston it cost 1200. J went with me. Expensive trip.
16:48 Graham throigh IDA its $610
16:48 Rich ~~
16:48 Graham yeah but its only 400 miles from here
16:49 Graham planning to go iin Sat morning and out on Sunday
16:49 Graham be there for 7 1/2 days at OF
16:49 Graham fly out Friday night
16:50 Graham OF 1750
16:51 vw at that price into IDA, cheaper? probably can't get a rental for that amount, but a bus? Same as Karst?
16:51 Graham long trip home in 1 day, 630 snowcoach, 9:00 bust from West to BZN, 1300 flight home through Chicago or Denver or SLC or Minneapolis
16:51 Graham not sure theres any bus from IDA to WYS
16:51 vw ahhh.
16:52 Graham still too expensive anyway...I am "sure" the prices will come down
16:53 Graham now watch them go to $800
16:53 vw shhhhhh!
16:53 vw knock on wood!
16:53 vw I would expect holiday fares to be going up, but January is an off month?
16:54 Graham yep..thats why its so cheap .. haha
16:54 Graham tried all 3 airports here and its the same price
16:55 Graham time for Lion anyone?
16:55 vw check prices into Billings! YOU could be the reason I get to the Park twice in one month during January!
16:56 Rich getting close to Lion
16:56 Rich after the top of the hour.
16:56 vw this would be number 8 R?
16:57 Rich 9
16:57 vw oh. thought 9 was going to be after dark!
16:57 Rich out of the way OF steam.
16:57 Rich 10 is after dark. lol
16:57 vw g
16:59 Rich Call those people on the sidewalk and have them relay Lion.
16:59 Graham wow $480 through BIL
16:59 vw there you go
17:00 Graham pack your snow gear vw
17:00 vw done!
17:00 Graham of course theres a catch...
17:00 vw seriously G, it could be arranged.
17:00 Graham Lion 1800
17:00 vw just about on time R!
17:01 Graham would have to leave a day earlier to get home on Sunday
17:01 Rich yep
17:01 Graham or take another days leave which I don't have
17:01 vw leave the park a day earlier? why?
17:02 Graham cant get home through BIL in one day
17:02 vw WHAT????
17:02 Graham from OF
17:02 vw when does sno-coach come out?
17:03 Graham gets out 0900 in west or 1800 in Mammoth
17:03 Graham actually its about 0830 in West
17:03 vw So you exit West and get to Billings. 3 hours.
17:03 Graham what?
17:03 vw maybe 3.5 hours.
17:04 Graham you have a helicopter vw?
17:04 Graham its 90 miles to BZN
17:04 Graham then turn right to BIL
17:04 vw and another 130 to Blgs.
17:04 Graham longer than your usual OF drive
17:04 Graham ah
17:04 vw that is 3.5 hours.
17:05 vw so you could take an afternoon flight.
17:05 vw glitch would be icy roads.
17:06 vw secret is a car with MT plates! if relatively dry roads, 80 mph is a norm
17:06 vw i am an excellent driver!
17:06 Graham speed limit is 75 isn't it?
17:06 vw shhhhhhh!
17:07 Graham 80 is kinda normal here....speed limit is...well never mind
17:07 vw road from West to Bozeman is best done at 75. Road Bozeman to Billings is all interstate.
17:07 Graham just let me say "its not 75"
17:07 vw weather really is the big iff
17:07 Graham yeah.
17:07 Graham I am surprised theres that much price difference
17:08 vw well, anyway, leave it open as an option.
17:08 vw I would certainly love to have company on the drive to the park. Usually just me.
17:08 vw I am not surprised. Billings is a business destination, Bozeman a tourist destination.
17:09 Graham yeah thanks vw..but it would be 2 weekends in a row too since I am not going in sat and back out the next day :)
17:09 lilkaduri1 ello
17:09 lilkaduri1 uhhhhhh
17:09 vw hi again
17:09 lilkaduri1 ÷
17:09 lilkaduri1 ż
17:09 Graham yeah ski resort traffic, usually go round Big Sky to drop people off on the bus
17:09 Rich Hi guest921902
17:09 vw I hate that drive
17:11 Graham yeah especially when its after midnight MST, 2am EST
17:11 Graham and you don't want to ski
17:11 vw :D
17:11 vw going through the canyon the road is just so narrow, and there is SO much traffic
17:12 Graham not at Midnight in Jan
17:12 vw always want to avoid it during rush hour.
17:12 Graham ruc hhour?
17:12 vw well...by Montana standards that is!
17:12 Graham rush hour...whats that in MT lingo?
17:12 Graham when theres another car in sight?
17:13 vw problem on that road is LOTS of commuters turning off and at highway speeds....
17:13 vw in the summer rush hour is when the creatures are going for a drink down by the rivers
17:13 Graham guess i never drive it in "ruch hour"
17:13 Graham grrr cant type rush
17:13 vw in the winter it is tourists not knowing which dirt road to turn off on
17:14 Graham here its 0--------
17:14 vw solid! :D
17:14 vw in Blgs drivers complain if it takes them more than 20 minutes to get to and from work!
17:14 Graham unless theres an accident or snow....in which case you forget about getting home
17:15 vw keep a sleeping bag at the office!
17:15 Graham it often takes me 20 min to get through the first 10 traffic lights
17:15 Ryan Hi All
17:15 Rich Hi Ryan
17:15 Graham still not even half way
17:15 Graham Plume 1815..it sure has shortened up
17:15 vw If roads are impassable in Billings (has happened 2 times in the 40 years I have been driving), we can just walk home
17:16 Ryan Yes it has
17:17 Graham what happened to make them impassable
17:17 vw ice
17:17 vw and so much snow couldn't be moved. we had a 20 foot drift on our street.
17:18 Graham ah, thats nice
17:18 vw just walked across the fields to the bus.
17:18 Graham ice can get us here but we rarely have 1' of snow
17:18 vw at the time i had three very young kids. it was an adventure.
17:18 vw of course that was 30 years ago!
17:18 Graham school still open?
17:19 vw school was open, but only one of my kids was in school at the time. we just walked him to school.
17:19 Graham they close here when it might snow
17:19 vw little kids on a sled. i was much younger then too!
17:19 vw schools rarely close here in Blgs.
17:19 Graham you had fun then in the snow :)
17:20 vw When that happened, the youngest, Elizabeth was only a few months old. she turns 30 in November!
17:21 vw hmmmmm. all of a sudden i am feeling really old!
17:21 Rich 39?
17:21 vw that was so long ago R, not sure i remember it!
17:21 Rich g
17:22 Rich A vague memory for me.
17:26 vw well everyone. time for me to go.

18:11 RHBM interesting.
18:11 Rich Just running fact check for posting to list.
18:11 RHBM cool
18:11 lilkaduri1 any1 a girl
18:12 Rich There are girls, someplace.
18:12 Rich not here.
18:12 RHBM this is a night for studying geysers.
18:12 lilkaduri1 lol that helps
18:12 RHBM make that a "site" for studying. .
18:12 Rich lol
18:12 Rich yep
18:12 Rich we had 9 Lions today
18:12 RHBM i should learn to type.
18:12 RHBM wow!
18:12 Rich me 2
18:12 lilkaduri1 im not like the pervs that be like any girls wanna chat
18:13 Rich ok
18:13 Rich And we still don't qualify as any1 a girl.
18:13 RHBM Were the Lion events close together?
18:13 Rich yes
18:13 Rich omp
18:14 RHBM Isn't that really unusual?
18:14 Rich Lion 08:23, 10:02:20ie, 11:08ie, 12:20ie, 13:27:19ie, 14:34, 15:41, 16: 54, 18:00,
18:14 RHBM geeze.
18:14 RHBM I only saw it once last summer.
18:14 Rich Since Giantess we have been having long series, then a day with no Lion and then next day long series again. No telling what is happening overnight.
18:15 RHBM Amazing.
18:15 Rich First time Graham and I caught a long series it was 11.
18:15 Rich limited by weather in the morning and dark at night, so don't know how many there really were.
18:15 Rich Graham looked it up on GOSA and found that there have been as many as 15 in a series but that was in 2008.
18:16 Rich So not expecting any Lions tomorrow.
18:16 RHBM Giantess went off then, too, I think.
18:16 Rich I don't know.
18:16 RHBM /:)
18:16 Rich I was busy capturing and Graham was researching.
18:16 Rich Was a fun day
18:17 RHBM I vaguely remember catching a Giantess in, um late winter. . . before I went out to the park in may.
18:17 Rich have had several other long series days since, but always start to late in the day or are going by daylight.
18:17 RHBM that's my 5 cents worth for now. Talk to you later.
18:17 Rich ok, have a good evening.
18:37 Rich  Nite cb

07:10 CC oh well...a hi to him anyway
07:11 Rich Hi GreekD2486
07:13 GreekD2486 Good morning all
07:14 Rich Doesn't look like anyone has been walking on the sidewalks yet.
07:15 Rich And one nice sploctch on the static cam. g
07:17 Rich Is Lion just steaming?
07:17 Rich Wait that is to far right for Lion.
07:17 Rich mmm
07:20 Rich Static frozen for me
07:20 Rich What ever it is it was ie 08:17:10
07:20 cb going to log off for now..to much happening here to pay attention.....
07:20 cb chow all
07:21 cb Hi/bye Rich
07:22 Dave M It was lion
07:22 Rich hi/bye
07:22 Rich ty, just looked strange, snow, what to do with it. g
07:22 Rich Hi Dave M
07:26 Bruce da Moose OOOH, snowy...
07:26 Rich yipee
07:27 Bruce da Moose It STILL doesn't look as cold as when we were there...
07:27 Rich Nope
07:27 Rich Looks Balmy.
07:28 Bruce da Moose May be the dawn glow, but something here looks warmer than 0 degrees F
07:28 Rich Lion ie 08:17:10 wc
07:28 Bruce da Moose OK - could you tell whether it *might* be an initial? Or just too steamy?
07:29 Rich Didn't get the start and on saw two refreshes before static cam froze on me.
07:30 Rich only
07:30 Bruce da Moose Of course, just now with the longer series, any given Lion probably has a less than about 15% chance of being an initial.
07:30 Rich Only way I surmise an intial is the interval between 1/2.
07:31 Bruce da Moose ...thus concludes our statistical number crunchola for the day ;-)
07:31 Rich Interval after initial has been running around 90m.
07:31 Bruce da Moose Is the 1-2 interval different from others?
07:31 Rich g
07:31 Rich Has been running 90m.
07:31 Bruce da Moose Yesterday's latter intervals were mostly around - what? - 0110 to 0115?
07:32 Rich ?
07:32 Bruce da Moose So the initial interval tends to be longer then...
07:32 Rich Lion 08:23, 10:02:20ie, 11:08ie, 12:20ie, 13:27:19ie, 14:34, 15:41, 16: 54, 18:00
07:33 Bruce da Moose Right - most intervals were about 0---------- or so except that first one.
07:33 Rich 70m
07:33 Rich hour only has 60m
07:33 Bruce da Moose right - same 0110 :-)
07:34 Rich oh, ok
07:34 Bruce da Moose 70m = 1 hour 10 minutes
07:34 Bruce da Moose :-)
07:34 Bruce da Moose I usually shorten the notation to exclude the ":"
07:34 Rich zeros don't register this early.
07:34 Bruce da Moose Exploding Poptart
07:35 Rich I know, just not awake yet.
07:35 Bruce da Moose Sorry, I had a chaotic moment
07:35 Rich I'm recovering from frustration at not being able to capture more of Lion.
07:36 Bruce da Moose Hi, Greek and guest269698.
07:36 Rich hi guest269698
07:36 Bruce da Moose Yeah, I'll bet that can curdle your milk. PCs and their foibles always give me fits.
07:37 Bruce da Moose I read where exchanging Windows Vista for W7 is easy, but doing it with XP is a mess.
07:38 Rich Not going to wait for the bugs to settle out of W7?
07:39 Rich I sometimes believe that 'yes, sir' syndrome is in effect at MS.
07:39 Rich Is it ready? "Yes, sir". Is it bug free? yes sir.
07:40 Bruce da Moose W7 sounds quite a bit better out the gate than Vista was. What a catastrophe!
07:40 Rich OF ie 08:39:44 wc
07:40 Bruce da Moose Vista on my son's PC laptop was so bad we had to get a new hard drive. The old one was hopeless wreckage.
07:41 Rich If that many things were found wrong with any other product, they would have had to be recalled.
07:41 Bruce da Moose They should have recalled the bozo who signed off on it.
07:41 Rich Probably got a raise and promotion.
07:41 Bruce da Moose We did get a new hard drive though for free.
07:42 Rich The Great American Dream.
07:42 Rich Fail and get promoted and rewarded.
07:42 Bruce da Moose Yeah - like the bankers who have ruined everyone's retirement!
07:42 Rich yep
07:43 Rich But then my XP is just fine, I can live with it's foibles.
07:43 Bruce da Moose I'd like to ruin their retirement...
07:43 Rich g
07:44 Bruce da Moose I always thought XP was pretty decent; I was sad when it was unavaibale for Nick's PC. If you have it, and it works for ya, I'd stick with it.
07:44 Rich I got up late this morning, it is cold, really need to get dressed.
07:44 Bruce da Moose His Vista now actually works prtety well, as doe sthe one on our own new PC.
07:44 Bruce da Moose Rich, for Heaven's sake, get dressed.
07:44 Rich Usually only upgrade when I'm forced to when I purchase  a new computer.
07:44 Bruce da Moose Understood.
07:45 Rich only 66 in here, nice and balmy.
07:45 Rich Heat wave for the Bay Area.
07:45 Rich g
07:45 Rich Hi Derek
07:45 Bruce da Moose I like 66 inside, although in winter we keep it at about 63-64.
07:45 Bruce da Moose I hate paying gas bills.
07:45 Derek Hi
07:45 Bruce da Moose Cheerio, Derek!
07:45 Rich Bedroom not below 65, nose and ears get cold and wake me up.
07:45 Derek 68 here
07:46 Derek Cheerio means Goodbye
07:46 Bruce da Moose 66 in my orifice. About 55 outside and quite breezy
07:46 Bruce da Moose Sorry - Hi!
07:46 Rich Good, I pretend I'm in Kent.
07:46 Rich A person
07:47 Bruce da Moose You are pretending you're a person?
07:47 Rich No first people of day at OF, that I've seen.
07:47 Bruce da Moose ok
07:48 Bruce da Moose they have a dramatic day ahead of them - Breakfast at Giantess, lunch at F&M and sunset dinner at Giant.
07:48 Bruce da Moose Could it get any better?
07:48 Rich What about Fountain? By Moonlight?
07:48 Bruce da Moose Heck - Steamboat!
07:49 Bruce da Moose Excelsior!
07:49 Bruce da Moose Hi, mab
07:49 Rich No steam at Excelsior now.
07:49 Rich g
07:49 Bruce da Moose Yeah, looks quiet back there
07:50 Bruce da Moose Could be a really strng inversion capping the plumes
07:50 Bruce da Moose or else just dry air
07:50 Rich Oh, ice is showing up now on the static lens
07:51 Rich Was just blurs now has shape.
07:51 Bruce da Moose stupid ice!
07:51 Rich lol
07:51 Rich You'd think it was cold or sumthin.
07:52 mab I was in but couldnt type anything.
07:52 mab Rich do you have a capture program?
07:53 Rich several. g
07:54 Rich Mostly use CamStudio
07:54 mab OK. I save things I like, but wont do the others. I was wondering for example about that last Lion, I grabbed it because you were ? it
07:54 mab Then Dave came in anyway.
07:54 Rich I only got one capture and the static cam froze
07:55 mab I have some fun captures over the years, but you can get ones you didnt even see! ha!
07:55 Rich yep
07:55 Rich Going back thru the captures even at the end of the day have revealed major misses.
07:55 Rich I attribute it to Geyser line fever.
07:55 mab Thats cool, I would like more Aurum times if you spy them!
07:56 Rich ok
07:56 Bruce da Moose We'd all like more Aurum times...
07:56 Rich No Aurum that's the one - - - -
07:56 Rich g
07:56 mab particularly when sitting there...
07:56 Bruce da Moose It's the small geyser that is as frustrating as a big geyser.
07:56 Rich lol
07:57 mab I usually choose to go sith there right when it does the switcharoo from spring to summer mode.
07:57 Rich I have to remember it's not Pump. g
07:57 mab Timing Doublet thumps can be interesting but....
07:57 Bruce da Moose I usually choose to sit there when F&M, Giant and Steamboat are erupting.
07:57 Rich Never heard Doublet thumps. Must have had a faulty guide.
07:57 Rich g
07:57 mab thats a good one too. nic job
07:57 Bruce da Moose ..and one in awhile, Splendid
07:58 Bruce da Moose I am sorry - I never took you to Doublet when it was a -thumpin'
07:58 Bruce da Moose I felt it once tho...
07:59 Bruce da Moose It is similar to Sawmill or when Oblong begins its play.
07:59 mab Thumps R Us
07:59 Rich ~~
08:00 mab OK I will check back later, I thought you had a capture program but wanted the definitive word.
08:00 Bruce da Moose OOH - that would be a good symbol for "waves on Grand" - if we could actually see them form here.
08:00 Rich CAm Studio
08:00 mab More eyes are what will give us good times this winter.
08:00 Rich I have the link, omp
08:00 Bruce da Moose Dagnabbit - I only have two, with no more to come...
08:01 Rich http://camstudio.org/
08:01 Bruce da Moose I still have your CAM link, but can't upload it here.
08:01 mab what is omp. I asked the other day. Teenagers use it to mean something else.
08:02 Rich right clicking on the static cam works.
08:02 Rich one moment please
08:02 Rich And I don't have one of those.
08:03 mab check a text speak dictionary sometime, its quite an education
08:03 Rich yes it was
08:03 Rich Have one I try and update about once a month
08:04 Bruce da Moose - on standby Work to do - on standby for awhile
08:05 Rich best to you.
08:05 mab Thanks for all your info, daily, Rich. We still have a weekend, then will rely on the cams to get through the winter.
08:06 Rich I'm getting all prepared for long, short days. g
08:06 mab Hopefully I am going Fri, Sat and Sun, but probably only one day in the UGB.
08:06 Rich Hope the weather holds
08:07 mab Tonight is supposed to be the most accumulation, so it should be fine by the weekend.
08:07 Rich good
08:07 mab Tell Lois thanks for this scn link too, it works great for me
08:08 Rich Will tell her, she has Gkid/neice duty this morning.
08:08 Rich And she will read the log
08:09 mab I dont call things on static, but Little Squirt is steamy
08:09 mab OK- THANKS loisb!
08:10 Rich She is capturing the live cam this morning.
08:10 mab maybe I will stay in even if I am not really here, my connection is holding very well today.
08:10 Rich Now if something would jsut happen.
08:10 mab its a pretty morning down there. it is must grayer here still
08:12 Rich A POST cover.
08:13 Rich Think I will install flat screen tvs for windows, run different cam views.
08:13 Rich Can 'live' anywhere at a click.
08:13 mab or much greyer.
08:14 Rich cybereze
08:14 mab or just have a large fire or cyber aquarium at will
08:14 Rich right
08:14 Rich Fire sounds REALLY good right now.
08:14 Rich Or a sandy beach and palm trees.
08:19 mab steamy lion
08:21 Rich Seems my computer doesn't like Lion this morning, static cam froze again
08:22 Rich only 6m more til a refresh
08:24 mab its gone now, maybe it twas a short roar
08:24 mab we will know in an hour or so
08:26 Rich was 61m from last.
08:27 mab so you wont get every capture when things are frozen, eh? a flaw in the plan, darn!
08:27 mab i didnt save that last puff
08:28 Rich I have one capture from each of this mornings.
08:29 Rich I'm not using the capture program now, just doing a right click save.
08:30 Rich In order to review have to stop the capture and restart it.
08:31 Rich Derek has another capture program, name eludes me at the moment, but will put it on the list of things to locate.
08:31 Rich It is in the log someplace
08:31 Rich Seems to me within the last 2 months.
08:32 Rich hi sparekitty
08:33 Derek HiDownload
08:33 Derek Thats what I use
08:33 Rich That's it. lol
08:33 Rich ty Derek
08:33 sparekitty hey rich, derek, bruce, everybody else i don't know!
08:35 Rich I thought I'd give the 'everybody else i don't know" a chance to say hi, but figure it would take a while for about 6 billion people to reply. g
08:35 Rich wb Dave M
08:35 sparekitty you're funny rich!
08:35 Rich lol
08:36 Rich I was easily amused as a child, sit me on the ground and I'd watch the grass grow.
08:36 Dave M I'm a little concerned about the last two Aurum calls posted to the geyser list. With all the steam, I think there is confusion between Pump and Aurum.
08:38 mab cough cough hi DM
08:39 Dave M Not much cough left today. I'm about to head out for work. Tara is getting ready for closing weekend. Will she see you?
08:40 mab yes, roads willing. For sure Friday, and not sure about Sat-Sun.
08:40 Dave M Good. We'll hold you to that.
08:40 mab My connection comes and goes I still have to refresh the log or there is lots of missing conversation.
08:40 mab Yep, thats my plan.
08:40 Dave M fun :)
08:41 mab Sounds like others might be bailing out due to the weather
08:42 mab Read your previous in the log, I have a good summer Aurum capture, but I am not so sure in winter. I just hope that steaming cam can zoom to verify
08:42 Dave M I never trust forecasts in Yellowstone at this time of year. I always expect cold and snow and am rarely disappointed.
08:42 mab expect the worst, dress for the worst and its usually a pretty good day!
08:43 mab Theres always Lone Pine or Great Fountain.
08:44 Dave M I went back and looked for Aurum on the 25 and 26. Too much steam from Giantess but two nice big Pump eruptions. Auraum can be almost impossible to see on the webcam at this time of year.
08:45 mab Glad you have the video captures, thats cool. Downloads will tell the tale....eventually.
08:45 Dave M My thought too.
08:46 mab Call in sick and come out!!
08:47 Dave M I guess I gun shy on calling Aurum becuase I've made the same mistake in the past. It is easy to do.
08:48 mab Rich do you have your reference photo? I know its still a work in progress.
08:48 Dave M Wish I could call in sick but too busy at work. I'll try getting in touch in a few days.
08:49 Bruce da Moose - on standby Aurum and Pump are pretty well separated - Aurum is just on Giantess's left shoulder, while Pump is over farther left above OF
08:50 Rich I still have the panorama that Derek made, but there is no way I can id any features, except the major ones already id'd in the general reference photo of the static cam.
08:51 mab ok, DM diid you get my photo of the root cellar?
08:51 Rich http://donsplace.orgfree.com/ofcc/
08:51 mab I thought y ou were creating a cool one with everything erupting. Oh I will clickee linkee
08:52 Derek My internet just went off for a few minutes.
08:52 mab DM I can email you with TC sightings. :)
08:52 Dave M MA thanks
08:53 Dave M Rich:
08:53 mab I hope you feel better.
08:53 Derek Hi Dave
08:53 Dave M Let me try again. Rich, I like your ID sheet.
08:53 Dave M Hi Derek
08:55 Rich I was working on mulitple ones with eruptions, but needed help iding the ones I photoshopped together.
08:55 Rich Still on my FB page
08:56 Rich Link is in the log, or I'll add it to my list.
08:57 Rich Loading FB now, see if I can get it.
08:58 Dave M My connection has locked twice in the last few minutes. I guess its trying to tell me to get out the door. See you later.
08:58 Bruce da Moose - on standby Bye, DM
09:01 Rich http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=2018483&id=1427016656&l=1c00cc4478
09:03 mab thanks I will check it out. At this point I might as well stay for an OF.
09:04 Rich Anybody feel free to comment and id any or all.
09:05 Rich and Lion?
09:05 Rich Hi Kent
09:06 Rich I should be out of the freeze zone on the static cam now.
09:13 Rich Riverside?
09:20 Rich And once again, I'm just a scrbe.
09:23 Rich Roar/eruption or just steaming, Lion is at it again.
09:24 Rich Lion ie 10:21:29 wc
09:34 Rich I'm froze on the static
09:34 sparekitty nothing exciting goin on at the moment
09:34 Rich ty
09:35 Rich I'll have refreshes again in about 6 min.
09:35 sparekitty hasn't HAL insisted on highspeed internet yet?
09:36 Rich HAL has less computing power than a Commodore 64. g
09:36 Rich Still functions tho.
09:36 sparekitty oh well.
09:36 Rich g
09:37 Rich HAL is down for reprogramming. HE was getting to bossy. lol
09:38 Rich I haven't found the equivalent digital product for Prozac.
09:42 mab Just pull the plug.
09:42 mab That's my cue for a hasty exit.
09:45 sparekitty It is possible that we may become pets of the computers, leading pampered existences like lapdogs, but I hope that we will always retain the ability to pull the plug if we feel like it. - Arthur C. Clarke
09:45 Rich A great fan of ACC
09:45 sparekitty my favorite author ever!
09:46 Rich HAL is to wise to my ways to fall for pulling the plug, invites me to the airlock when I try. But will put up with reprogramming.
09:47 Rich Bruce, thank you for the id info, updated now.
09:48 Rich I look at the composites as a 'Wikipedia' project, always subject to change. g
09:48 Rich And all can change/add.
09:49 Rich I would like to make 'seasonal' composites, there by showing the geyers in different 'states'.
09:50 Rich Not enough data yet for 'Winter'.
09:50 Rich So I'll continue working on 'Summer'.
09:53 Rich Guess I should really add the composites to my resource page. hmmm, one more thing to add to the list.
09:54 Rich Which reminds me, I need to upload the capture from yesterday of the little splash out by the Y by the bw at Lion
09:54 Rich Hi vw
09:55 vw hi all. working adn just want a nicer view than files and paper.

12:09 Rich static is frozen for me.
12:10 Bill M I'd love to see a Beehive
12:10 Rich Me too.
12:11 Bill M Question for you cam guys... is the swaying caused by movement of where the camera is mounted?
12:11 Rich as long as it doesn't come in the next 6 minutes.
12:11 Bruce da Moose - on standby yes!
12:11 Bruce da Moose - on standby Cam is mounted ona tree that sways in the breeze
12:11 Bill M got it...
12:12 Bruce da Moose - on standby At high power it can induce seasickness ;-)
12:12 Bill M Is that where the nausea is coming from?
12:12 Rich Shucks I don't have a link for the webcam photo
12:13 Bill M It was nice to see snow today
12:13 Rich There is a photo of the mounts floating about somewhere, might be at YNP Multimedia
12:26 Kent I think Indicator is in that cloud of steam?
12:27 CC Indicator 13"24 IE
12:28 Bruce da Moose - on standby yay!

06:18 vw Some areas are supposed to get lots. I believe a couple of inches a day in the park. Heard yesterday Sheridan WY is supposed to get just over a foot.
06:19 CC e gads
06:19 vw havent confirmed that, but it would not be unusual for them, being on the eastern slope of the mtns
06:20 vw i have become enamored of the dream like quality of the pictures here and on the static cam that we see in low light
06:20 CC understandable
06:21 vw last nights light was eery!
06:22 CC are you driving in on Saturday?
06:23 vw dont think so. roads, cold, work.
06:23 CC ah
06:23 vw would love to go, but it just takes so long to get to the UGB that i dont know if worth it this year
06:24 vw will get to the northern parts of the park several times over winter, so will get my *fix* then i guess
06:24 CC well, maybe it was going to be great weather
06:24 vw if it was even *good* weather i would go. :S
06:25 CC I would love to come in the winter but Victor has no desire...too cold
06:25 vw some winter we should do a *girls only* trip then you would have to come!
06:25 vw worth seeing at least one time in the winter.
06:26 vw sooooo calming, so different
06:31 CC I would love that!!!
06:32 CC I have talked about coming myself for the last several years
06:32 CC morning Allan
06:32 vw you come, i will be there!
06:32 vw Sorry Allan, missed your entrance!
06:32 Allan Good Morning, CC and vw
06:33 vw just enjoying the winter scenery...
06:33 vw or should i say wintery...
06:33 Allan Yes, it looks nice.
06:33 vw likely to be more snow this time tomorrow.
06:34 Allan Cool! As long as it's there and not here. I'm still struggling to get work done
06:34 vw did you get the painting done?
06:34 Allan Yesterday was beautiful here. One of our 3 sunny days between now and Christmas
06:34 vw :D
06:35 Allan Haven't finished painting. Been making storm windows. 7 down, two to go.
06:35 vw was talking with someone the other day that usually September and October are good months here to do outside painting. Not so much this year.
06:35 vw can you finish some of the painting before hanging?
06:36 Allan I can finish all of the painting that's left before hanging.
06:37 Allan Just wanted to get the window frames done.
06:37 vw good! that will make the weather less of an issue.
06:37 Allan Will probably paint today.
06:44 vw Gotta get moving. Hope everyone has a good day. Will try to check back from the office.
06:44 vw Bye!
07:05 Allan Bye Rich.
07:07 Rich Bye Allan
07:14 Rich hi guest304467
07:15 guest304467 good mornig
07:19 Bruce da Moose Hi, Rich - g'day
07:19 Bruce da Moose brb
07:19 Rich Morning
07:19 Rich k
07:25 Bruce da Moose here now
07:26 Bruce da Moose Looks prtety quiet so far today
07:27 Rich me too
07:27 Bruce da Moose we had a minor catastrophe on the Bay Bridge last night - so the freeways all over the SF Bay Area are disrupted this morning. Traffic jams all over.
07:27 Bruce da Moose Bay Bridge is closed indefinitely
07:27 Rich I saw it on the news.
07:28 Bruce da Moose So on I-880, near my house, in addition to heavy traffic, we also get a major accident, and THEN someone drops a fridge in the road. Sheesh
07:29 Bruce da Moose OF 0927 ie
07:30 Rich Heard it was a broken cable.
07:31 Bruce da Moose Yeah, I think a cable and overhead rods snapped and fell upon the deck. Inspections indicated a more serious problem, so closure ensued
07:31 Bruce da Moose After lots of fast efficient repairs on the BB, this is the first major failure.
07:32 Bruce da Moose Time to break out the old ferries I think...
07:32 Rich Yep
07:32 Bruce da Moose About 100 of them ;-)
07:32 Rich Borrow them from WA again.
07:33 Bruce da Moose Hopefully people will wise up and use BART
07:33 Rich If BART don't break.
07:33 Bruce da Moose Godzilla comes up and eats it?
07:34 Bruce da Moose he always had a craving for rolling stock
07:34 Rich lol
07:39 Rich brb, check the fire.
07:46 Rich needed a little coaxing this morning to get going.
07:51 Bruce da Moose Like thre rest of us!
07:52 Bruce da Moose Well, got lots of work to do - in and out today. later, Gents...
07:52 Rich have a good one.
07:54 Kent Looks glorious in the UGB. I wish this weather would hold through the week.
07:55 Rich It will.
08:02 Kent I'm afraid you and the NWS don't agree:)
08:03 Rich It happens. Oft times me and the weather people don't live in the same world.
08:04 Rich wb guest304467
08:04 Derek Daisy
08:04 guest304467 hello again
08:04 Derek 09:04 ie
08:05 Rich Snow suites the dress de jour.
08:05 Rich hi guest237049
08:06 guest237049 Hello Rich
08:07 Rich Oct 28, 2009 recap Beehive 07:12ie Daisy 09:04ie, F&M 15:55 10/25/09 OF 08:27:14ie,
08:12 Rich hi GreekD2486
08:12 Rich Hi sparekitty
08:13 sparekitty hey evrybody. how's your wednesday going?
08:20 Rich  It is a cold Wednesday, 44 here.
08:20 Derek 61 here
08:26 Rich  I'll take 61 today.
08:26 Derek OK, you know where to find me :-)
08:27 Rich some where in the South of France, no make that South of England. g
08:28 Derek Let me know when you're coming and I'll stock up with prunes. LOL
08:32 Rich For sure.
08:40 Rich  Temp is up a degree, fire must be doing something.
08:52 vw ahhhh. see the wind is still blowing out of the west/northwest!
08:53 vw hello all. once again, working witha view.
08:53 Rich hi vw
08:54 Rich The only way to work. g
08:57 Rich Rain drops keep falling on my lense.
09:35 mab i never know if I am in or not. I can check the logs for myself. :)
09:35 vw you are there!
09:35 vw here...
09:35 vw Hi!
09:37 Rich <Glenn Springs ~~~ were named the "Three Zebras" ;in about 1885 by park tour guide G. L. Henderson.>
09:39 vw R - just read your log. for the record, that early BH today was seen by both CC and myself, but it was at the end of its eruption
09:40 mab thats cool. I was awake then but my computer was having trouble waking up!
09:40 Rich yes
09:40 vw it was hard to see even on Static.
09:41 mab Hey, after DM's concerns about the weekend Aurums I looked in my files, I did snag one Sunday at 1119, which doesn't match with the times here.
09:42 mab I usually grab things I like, but then forget about them.
9:43 mab If the screen is about to refresh they get sent to whatever last file I might have open, sometimes I find captures in hike files, or anywhere. Its a little nutty in my filing system.
09:43 vw does the capture show water or just steam?
09:43 mab Anyway, I put it in photobucket brb for link
09:43 vw i will have to go back and read Sundays logs. wasnt here much over weekend
09:43 vw thanks!
09:44 mab  
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v358/yellowstone…
09:44 vw going now....
09:44 mab I just worry about it since our Park Historian prints hard copy of all list serve emails for the archives. If the downloads ever failed, some thermal researcher would use those for the information.
09:45 mab But I think he will like your reports Rich, it cuts down on all the webcam capture emails that get sent in, hes not particularly fond of those. /:)
09:45 vw gonna check sundays logs. brb
09:48 mab So what was our Beehive interval since the last seen? I didn't count yet.
09:50 vw just under 17 hrs, 30 minutes?
09:55 mab thanks, I will keep track of it these next days for the weekend. Hope I can close out the season with a Beehive. F&M might be too much to hope for.
10:06 vw mab, what is your weather looking like for weekend hike? heard this morning that Craig is open
10:06 mab Rich your connection looks like mine usually does. I am surprised I am still here.
10:07 mab I am not sure about Friday any more, I had a history thing planned with LW but that fell through, so I will prob just go Sat-Sun. I have about 2 inches of white stuff here
10:07 vw i am still trying to decide.
10:08 vw drive to UGB is just so long for a day trip though.
10:08 vw looking forward to the Norris-Madison road being opened again!
10:08 vw its a long time till mid April....
10:09 mab Heres one from the old days, life was simpler then
10:10 mab we only predicted OF when the VC was closed
10:10 mab  
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v358/yellowstone…
10:10 mab from April 2003
10:10 vw love that 2003 was the old days!
10:11 vw Thanks mab
10:11 mab But you can bet we watched it alll the time! I have tons of captures from that era.
10:12 vw with that camera angle we didnt see anything but OF
10:12 vw seem to remember studying and checking it out every once in a while!
10:12 mab like I said, life was simpler then!
10:13 mab I should get outta here, I guess I wanted to confirm DaveM-s call about Sunday. Just lucky that I had it, if I ever see water in Aurum I save it!
10:13 vw bye!
10:14 vw i should get back to focusing on work here. :(
10:15 vw Will watch for WATER from now on!
10:15 Derek Hi VW
10:15 vw Hi D!
10:15 vw you gonna keep me from working?
10:15 vw please?
10:15 Derek lol
10:16 Derek I've finished most of my chores
10:16 vw interesting discussin with mab about water on aurum Sunday. she was lucky enough to catch a capture with it!
10:16 mab sorry, I have to accomplish something myself.
10:16 vw make me look like a slacker....
10:16 Derek You can see Aurum's water plume on the live cam
10:17 Derek I've seen it a few times but it doesn't last long
10:17 vw yep. when steam and spray isnt in the way! good hint to watch for the wet stuff!
10:17 mab I cant see when you zoom in, so I just believe you guys. The odds of me catching it on static are pretty slim!
10:18 mab OK really, I am gone.
10:18 vw bye again!
10:18 Derek From the cam viewpoint its on the far left of Giantess mound
10:18 vw last night thought i saw something over that way, but could only see steam. we didn't call anything.
10:19 Derek It would be right in the center of the current view
10:20 vw thats pretty much what we saw last night. cb thought maybe runoff from Giantess too.
10:20 vw with the colder weather so hard to tell.
10:20 Derek Tree is shaking too much for full zoom
10:23 vw fyi, wind should be fairly strong all day as this storm system moves in. should have asked mab how windy it was when she said she has a few inches of the white stuff.
10:23 vw wow! steam maelstrom!
10:27 vw last night cb kept moving the cam so it was focused away from the steam. it was quite a ride!
10:27 Rich hi guest316739
10:27 vw hi Rich! thought we lost you!
10:28 Rich You have.
10:28 Derek CC will be taking over in an hour, so she can use the wiper
10:28 Rich Hi guest921902
10:29 Rich hi guest138930
10:32 mab Rich, you crack me up. Put history stuff in brackets is a SURE way to get me to log in!
10:34 mab In the mid 90's I typed up all of GL Hendersons guides and put them into the same newspaper format of the originals. Thats what most people use when they study him at the archives now.
10:34 mab He is one of my favorites, literally one of the first YNP interpreters. THE first if you ask our historian, but I like to disagree with him from time to time.
10:36 mab Keep up the good work, if you are studying ynp history we are kindred spirits! I will await your next secret message. :)
10:42 vw closing this window. back in a bit.
10:47 Rich hi guest734316
11:03 Kent I hope we get one more cleaning before the roads close. Very depressing if we had this until April.
11:04 Derek When the glass is still wet, cc can operate the wiper remotely
11:05 Derek She'll be taking over in 25 minutes
11:11 Rich hi guest589550
11:11 Rich hi guest304467
11:11 guest304467 good afternoon
11:12 Rich good morning
11:12 CC Unfortunately I just tried to clean the lens but once it has dried the silica doesn't want to to come off
11:15 Derek I guess you'll have to wait for the next shower :-)
11:37 Bruce da Moose Hi, folks
11:37 Bruce da Moose In the midst of a substantial potluck here at work - food lying around all over the place
11:38 Rich hi Bruce
11:42 Bruce da Moose Noticed a few Aurum posts this AM - for the record, here are a couple of Aurum pix. About 20 feet tall...
http://www.panoramio.com/user/1314131/tags/Geyser%…
11:43 ryeeeee helo ppll
11:43 Bruce da Moose Hello, ryeeeee
11:43 ryeeeee u oreyt
11:43 Bruce da Moose Fine thanks - we are watching Yellowstone geysers on the Old Faithful webcam
11:44 Bruce da Moose Links here:
http://www.nps.gov/archive/yell/oldfaithfulcam.htm
11:44 guest904743 Hi, I have this morning's Beehive as 0708, I noticed the posts were a little later, at 0712. I did make it out on the still cam at 0708. This is Pat Snyder by the way but on the work computer...
11:45 Bruce da Moose This web page has a still cam as well as a link to a styreaming cam
11:45 Bruce da Moose he/she disappeared :-/
11:45 guest904743 Can't stay on chat here, just wanted to update that Beehive time.
11:45 Bruce da Moose Thanks for the BH update!
11:46 guest904743 Watching for Tara who is on the way to the park so I checked for other times. Anyone have a Grand time? I thought I saw a lot of steam in the area around 0736 but...not confirmed.
11:46 guest904743 You are welcome...
11:47 guest904743 OK, no Grand yet.
11:47 guest904743 Or a visible one anyway.
11:48 guest904743 I will check a little later for more times. Thanks much. Have a nice day!
12:02 Rich  Appears the Static cam feed is down.
12:07 Rich  Went down around 12:44 mdt.
12:08 Rich Later
12:39 vw back. very hard getting into chat again.
12:40 vw and static is frozen! not a good way to go into the winter season with limited ability to fix!
12:58 Ryan Hi all
12:59 vw hi Ryan. did you catch the NASA rocket launch this am? finally happened, but when i was away from a computer
13:00 vw it has been fairly quiet here.
13:00 Ryan Yes I did. It was awesome!!
13:00 Ryan I see that on the log
13:00 Ryan i missed lunch to watch the launch
13:02 vw ok. working and watching.
13:02 Ryan zsdid u see NASAs vid of the launch?
13:05 CC Static is back up again
13:13 Ryan thx CC
13:27 CC Plume 14:26
13:28 Derek Hi
13:34 Ryan Hi Derek
13:45 Ryan OF 1445ie
13:57 vw with Rich not here today, we don't have much info regarding if we on into another Lion marathon day. Miss Rs info!
14:10 Alyssa1542 HEYYY!
14:12 CC Castle just finished a Major
14:12 CC there are actually some gazers in the basin as I write this now
14:13 vw hope they are warmly dressed!
14:14 vw wind chill has got to be bitter
14:14 CC I guess no one has seen Grand today
14:15 vw not confirmed. Did you see Pat S note?
14:15 CC no
14:15 Ryan Where is he?
14:15 CC what did she day
14:15 vw I thought I saw heavy steam off of static early this am too when we were on, but stream was still too unfocused.
14:16 Ryan that Rich wasnt here
14:16 CC maybe that is why we don't have anything all day
14:16 vw Pat said she thought she saw steam over that way about 7:30ish
14:17 vw Pat is in the logs with a guest number
14:17 CC yes but I think it could have been west or rift
14:17 CC so hard to tell at that hour with all the steeam
14:17 vw it was just too far out on the static, and too windy to say what.
14:17 CC yep
14:17 vw yeap
14:32 Ryan Hi
14:33 Ryan Oh it is dreary and cold!!!
14:47 vw I havent even been watching for OF. Anybody notice last?
14:49 Ryan i had one at 1445
14:50 vw ok. thanks Ryan. So should be one soon.
14:51 vw soo much steam this afternoon hard to see any water from anything
15:04 Derek Goodnight All
15:17 CC Kent the lens seems clearer now...at least I hope so
15:17 Kent Good catch with the wiper there CC.
15:18 CC Unfortunately, the wind is blowing directly at the cam ...who knows what will happen overnight
15:18 Kent I was going to offet to take a Super-Squirter filled with distilled water this weekend, but we may not need it.
15:19 CC according to the VC the wind has been blowing all day at the cams
15:21 Kent The wind direction is really annoying
15:22 CC no question about that
15:23 CC Grand 16:23 IE
15:24 vw I was just about to shut down the window when you move the cam CC. Thx!
15:24 CC I was trying to keep the lens clean on OF
15:24 CC hence that is why I was there so long
15:25 vw impossible with this wind!
15:25 CC I am really concerned what will happen this evening
15:25 CC when all is dark
15:26 vw can you leave the camera NOT on OF preset? I know that wouldnt be within protocol, but to safe the lens...?
15:26 vw Beautiful steam plume at Grand!
15:26 CC not reall
15:26 CC not really
15:26 CC it would still get wet
15:26 vw someone needs to do what we do with our cars here in the west - put a blanket over them.
15:27 vw The time on this Grand would kind of confirm a 07:36 Grand that Pat S suggested earlier
15:34 Graham hello
15:35 CC hi
15:35 Ryan hi graham, nice grand
15:35 Graham I can't get the cam CC

October 29th, 2009

06:11 cb morning cc!
06:11 CC morning
06:18 Derek Hi vw
06:18 vw Good morning D, CC
06:18 vw my stream is black. me or it?
06:19 Derek Still dark in the park I guess :-)
06:19 vw :D
06:19 Derek Going down for lunch now.
06:20 vw k. enjoy!
06:20 vw Hi cb.
06:20 vw oops. forgot the !
06:20 Derek Mince beef and onion pie with bake beans and fries :P
06:20 cb hi
06:21 vw worried about how the cam weathered the wind and OF droplets last night.
06:21 vw save some fries for me D.
06:24 cb Hey vw!
06:24 vw stream!!!
06:24 CC Last night it did ice up but I have used the wiper this morning and we will just have to wait and see if it clears
06:25 vw thanks CC. thought maybe you had been on the phone and asked someone to go kick the tree.
06:25 Kent Is the lens cover heated at all?
06:25 CC no
06:25 CC morning Kent
06:25 Kent Morning CC
06:26 vw as the pictures tell the story, the storm has not really caused much in the way of precip this far north. hoping it stays that way for the closing crowd.
06:26 CC the static looks interesting
06:26 vw somewhat coolish in the Park this morning though.
06:26 CC looks as though light is shinning on it from a vehicle
06:27 CC gone now
06:27 Kent With the cold, 4° right now, I am worried about slick roads. I am always worried about something.
06:27 Kent Craig pass has stayed open since Tuesday afternoon.
06:27 CC that's interesting
06:28 CC guess it is warmer in the park than I thought
06:29 vw rather reminiscent of our last trip, what do you say cb and K?
06:31 Kent Very much so. Looks like we even have a little wind.
06:32 vw With the storm now mostly to the east of the Park, winds are likely to stay upslope.
06:32 Kent I will look for Rich and Bruce when we get a little more light over by Beehive.
06:32 vw lets hope we dont have a repeat of yesterdays winds that blew steam into the cams
06:32 CC I'll second that
06:33 CC Are Bruce and Rick going to the park this week for closing
06:33 Kent We came out of that better than I had hoped
06:34 Kent Not that I know of. I was making a reference to their appearence two weeks ago.
06:34 CC oh
06:35 CC OF 7:34
06:36 vw impressive steam
06:38 CC I am going to call it a long
06:46 cb brb
07:07 Derek Back from lunch
07:12 CC Looks to me that the silica has remained on the lens from overnight...I was able to clean it well before nighttime
07:17 Kent packing Will be away doing packing but won't log off cuz I don't want to lose the chat log.
07:19 vw gotta head to work. see everyone later. enjoy!
07:20 CC see you
07:21 CC going to do some sewing...see you all later
07:32 Rich Hi bb
07:36 cb Hi Rich

08:39 FYEO hi all
08:40 Bruce da Moose and good mornin' from here too
08:40 FYEO seems quiet in here
08:40 Bruce da Moose Lotsa people, but everyone is busy on the side.
08:41 FYEO doing what ? somethig close to nothing??
08:41 Derek We are here to watch live video of geysers erupting at Yellowstone National Park, USA
08:42 Bruce da Moose People are watching form work, some are off to the doctor, etc.

08:43 Bruce da Moose Derek, how was that yummy lunch?
08:43 Derek Fine thanks
08:44 Bruce da Moose We had a feast here at work yesterday - everyone brought casseroles and pies and cakes and etc.
08:45 Bruce da Moose I'm still a bit sick from it all...
08:46 sparekitty what was your contribution, bruce?
08:46 sparekitty we're having a potluck for halloween tomorrow (oh crap, i almost forgot!).
08:46 Bruce da Moose I brought a pumpkin pie and a pecan pie.
08:47 Bruce da Moose there is quite a bit left this morning
08:47 Derek From the way you looked on the cam Bruce, you are quite skinny. So I guess you could do with fattening up :-)
08:47 sparekitty pecan pie! it's good when it's good but when it's bad--blech! i'm sure yours is fabulous.
08:47 Bruce da Moose :-) I exercise every day - but right after I got back form YNP I ate like a pig (???) and gained 5 pounds...blah
08:48 Bruce da Moose The pies were just OK - next time I will try something different. they did get eaten, tho...
08:48 Derek I'm about 220 pounds
08:49 Bruce da Moose Yeah, but you're a tall guy...
08:49 Derek 5ft 11
08:49 Bruce da Moose I used t0 be 228, and only 5'9"
08:49 Derek You must have lost a hell of a lot
08:49 Bruce da Moose felt a whole lot better after dropping 70 lb
08:50 sparekitty my husband was a really, really fat guy for many years. he lost (i'm not kidding) 200 (yep, no typo two hundred) pounds over two years with diet and exercise.
08:51 Bruce da Moose :-) 2-0-0-lbs! Yowsa!
08:51 Bruce da Moose Bully for him!
08:51 sparekitty yep, it's pretty cool!
08:51 Bruce da Moose There's a bunch of steam at BH
08:52 Derek Yep, but only steam
08:52 Bruce da Moose k - couldn;t quite tell on the statcam
08:53 vw hi all.
08:53 Bruce da Moose Hi, vw! howya?
08:53 vw my usual. at the office, watching and working.
08:53 Bruce da Moose Me2
08:53 sparekitty hey vw!
08:53 vw Hi BdM. Wishing i didnt have to work?
08:54 Bruce da Moose You read my mind!
08:54 vw Saw you comment sparekitty about your husband. He lost a whole ME!!! oh yeah, and Hi!
08:54 sparekitty we used to tease him that he lost both our kids!
08:54 vw probably days when most parents would actually wish for that!
08:55 vw at least for a few hours anyway!
08:55 sparekitty you ain't kidding!
08:55 Derek Beryl is heavier than me but she is only 4ft 9
08:55 Bruce da Moose Probably a bit hard to maintain low weight whe your activity is limited...
08:55 vw what i am learning about weight and stress on joints has caused me to change my habits. limit excess calories to chocolate.
08:55 Bruce da Moose MMM - chocolate -
08:55 Bruce da Moose brb
08:55 vw steam in the basin is beautiful this am
08:56 sparekitty that's it! and if you limit your chocolate to DARK chocolate, you can eat even more...lower cal!
08:56 Derek Too much steam hides the water
08:56 vw i prefer the if you are standing the calories dont count theory. Eat on the run all the time...
08:56 vw true D, but still a wonderful vista!
08:57 Bruce da Moose The lighting is magical
08:57 Bruce da Moose at least on static cam
08:57 vw k. i am working, i am working, ...
08:57 Bruce da Moose me too - I have a bunch of greenhouse gas reduction measures to review and revise
08:58 Bruce da Moose GHG reduction measure No. 1 - stop wasting electricy watching geysers all day!
08:58 Bruce da Moose ;-)
08:59 Derek No 2. stop eating beans
08:59 Bruce da Moose X-D that;s only important in a certain house in England...
09:00 Bruce da Moose at least unitl supper here...
09:00 Derek I thought baked beans were an american invention.
09:00 Bruce da Moose could be - we eat quite a few beans of all kinds.
09:00 Bruce da Moose baked, refried, in soups...a staple
09:01 Bruce da Moose that looks like Plume...
09:01 Bruce da Moose can the stream verify?
09:02 Bruce da Moose might have been just OF steam...
09:02 Derek It may have been
09:02 vw too much steam B. I cant see anything
09:02 Bruce da Moose yeah - tough to tell this morning
09:03 Derek OFs plume is diagonal. but there was a vertical plume behind it
09:03 Bruce da Moose Tht'a what i saw too
09:06 Derek indicator
09:07 Bruce da Moose Yippee! Wish Rich and Kent were here just now
09:07 Bruce da Moose So, BHI 1007?
09:08 Bruce da Moose ns
09:08 sparekitty sounds good bruce!
09:08 sparekitty it's lovely on the streaming cam
09:08 Bruce da Moose Man - tough to see on the static cam
09:12 Kent Still Packing Got a page. Thanks
09:12 sparekitty the streaming close up view shows frozen grass. so pretty!
09:12 Bruce da Moose Improbable is visible also
09:13 sparekitty thanks, derek!
09:14 vw nice lighting on steam plumes on static
09:18 Bruce da Moose Nice long BHI this morning
09:18 Derek bh
09:19 Bruce da Moose BEEHIVE 1048
09:19 Derek 48?
09:19 Derek 10:18
09:20 Bruce da Moose right sorry! i wish i could cancel my mistypes...
09:20 Kent Both cams. WOW!
09:21 Bruce da Moose Yepp, a major spectacle this morning...
09:33 Bruce da Moose I grabbed a few and put them on Facebook. For Rich and anyone else.
09:39 Dave M I was wondering where Tara was for Beehive. She just called. F&M 1009.
09:40 Derek Hi Dave
09:46 Dave M Hi Derek
09:46 Bruce da Moose Hi, Dave - thanks - thought I saw some bright steam down there...
09:46 Dave M Hi Bruce
09:46 Dave M Isn't it beautiful there today? I love this time of year even if it is cold.
09:47 Bruce da Moose Did Tara say how cold it is there?
09:47 Bruce da Moose The lighting is incredible
09:47 Dave M Tara didn't say how cold it was. She was still too excited about seeing the eruption. The first eruption of here trip and no waiting. Not bad.
09:48 Bruce da Moose That's great! Rich and I missed two eruptions by mere minutes at either end of our visit.
09:48 Dave M Geysers are fickle aren't they.
09:49 Bruce da Moose Yes, they are! Blasted things... ;-)
09:49 Bruce da Moose About the only thing you can use to predict F&M this year is a rough interval, and don;t leave when River is still on.
09:50 Dave M Tara would disaree but I think that is what makes it so much fun.
09:51 Bruce da Moose Maybe - when we were there, good cycles went nowhere and lousy cycles turned great fast - fun? yeah sometimes ;-)
09:52 Rich away Hi everyone
09:52 Bruce da Moose I'd love to be able to spend a LOT more time there to see how the thing is really working each year.
09:52 sparekitty hi rich.
09:52 Dave M The fun part is trying to understand what is going on. Geysers keep you flexible. F&M is constantly changing. It teaches you to constantly watch and question your assumptions.
09:53 Rich away Car is renewed.
09:53 Bruce da Moose Hi, Rich.
09:53 Rich away Doctor wrote refils.
09:53 Rich away Bought gas.
09:53 Bruce da Moose Rich - F&M 1009 and BH 1018 this morning. BHI = 9 minutes
09:53 sparekitty exciting morning, eh?
09:53 Rich Lovely white on the trees.
09:53 Rich cool
09:53 Rich ty
09:54 Bruce da Moose Dave, in short, I agree.
09:54 Rich Busy anyway.
09:55 Bruce da Moose At the same time, it's that constantly changing part that makes me (being still an observing neophyte) think its pretty inscrutible.
09:57 Bruce da Moose That looks like another Plume
09:59 Bruce da Moose If it was Plume, it was 1057
10:00 Rich Miss Marple is back.
10:01 Bruce da Moose Rich, Pat and I put some BH pix on FB that also show the concurrent F&M
10:02 Rich Saw you note, was just about to head over, ty.
10:02 Dave M Bruce, you're right. F&M is one of the worst for inscrutability. (Is taht a word) Well, I've got to go. Thansk again to the cam operators and watchers.
10:02 Bruce da Moose I like that word! Bye, Dave, a good day to you.
10:02 Dave M OK, I've got to untangle my fingers, too. Bye.
10:07 Rich

10:16 Bruce da Moose Gorsh - I misspelled it!

10:20 Derek Rich will be out of a job now
10:20 Derek :-)
10:24 Bruce da Moose heh - eventually people will learn to read the immediate preceding posts...
10:24 Bruce da Moose That's OK - Rich did not want the high presure posiiton anyway ;-)
10:26 Rich I don't believe that is possible.
10:28 Bruce da Moose No, I guess you can't teach a hormonally-driven teen new tricks :-)
11:15 Rich I go away for 20 minutes and the weather improves.
11:23 Bruce da Moose ...and a geyser erupts too.
11:23 Bruce da Moose Riverside and OF among them! Both ie at 1223

11:26 sparekitty i'm a bit slow today. it's like 100 degrees in my office (really, the thermostate is broken)
11:26 Rich I'll take about 30 of those.
11:26 Rich Would make it 91 here.

11:27 Derek If my wife's anything to go by, you Ladies like the temperature higher than us men do :-)
