Good morning
05:37:45
hi vw
05:38:55
G- is it today that you will be away? I wrote it down... somewhere.
05:39:09
I think Castle went earlier this morning
05:39:58
yeah will be back around 1600 MDT
05:40:11
Castle 0435 per Heinrick
05:40:28
k. At least some of my brain cells are working!
05:41:11
yesterday cam locked on me
05:41:22
out for about 20 minutes
05:42:26
I had a very short instance of that Thursday. Less than a minute though. I figured it was my connection.
05:42:42
Sweeny Todd was good last night, had cooled off by 8:15 start
05:42:46
no..I did report it
05:43:38
Grand may be in its window now - near the end of the window
05:43:43
yesdterday temps here reached 103 degrees and that does not include the heat indexs
05:43:57
yeah it was nasty here too
05:44:06
You will hate me for telling you this, but our temp today will only be in the low 80's.
05:44:21
Yesterday somewhere around 85?
05:44:37
I keep remembering what last winter was like here in CT
05:45:01
snow over 6 feet...we couldn't get the car out of the garage
05:45:22
DUlless Airport hit its all-time high of 105 yesterday
05:45:31
Yes, when most people were wishing for summer and hot weather
05:46:05
cold spell coming tho. 99 today and 97 tomorrow
05:47:11
watching for OF ...can you see Grand now
05:47:25
yes
05:47:30
its in view but not erupting
05:47:51
better answer!
05:47:56
i presume Heinrick is there based on the Castle time
05:48:03
be back in a few
06:06:50
Grand 0606ns
06:06:52
Grand 0606 ie
06:08:28
now if we could get a BH all the majors would be done for a while
06:09:16
An early BH could mean a chance at a 2nd daylight BH this evening. Very cool.
06:09:35
Worth watching for F&M today too.
06:09:49
I can't see any water at Grand ..just lots of steam
06:10:04
either of you see water
06:10:42
no but it is Grand
06:11:14
yes
06:11:18
Agree with G. Had the same thing earlier this week. Too steamy in the morning to see water easily
06:12:05
That time I saw what I thought was a 2nd burst only to find out from MBS report that it was a 3b.
06:12:20
agreed but sometimes you can see one burst or so
06:12:35
with the water jetting out
06:15:23
No wonder it is so steamy. OF Ranger station at 0515 was 39F with 82% humidy for a dewpoint of 34,

yeah they had 10' on the ground at Paradise
07:24:50
ya...I can't believe the height of the drifts
07:24:51
down to 6' now so it may melt before it starts snowing again
07:25:16

i think its the steam behind the big tree
08:01:08
now would be a great time for a report on the ground.
08:02:46
not sure theres anything else there that can put up that much steam - Bulger's Hole but it erupts with Bulger...

Looks like your temps are the same as ours today Graham, but we are happy because it is so cool!
08:21:04
yeah i don't envy you with it all summer long
08:21:20
isn't your heat index lower than the actual temp tho?
08:22:23
That is the good thing here. The heat index is usually below the temperture. Humidity this morning was 15% and was 4% last night when I went to bed.

Looks like there are gazers there. I was wondering of it may have had a really short cycle last night.
09:34:06
it was steaming a lot more earlier tho
09:35:01
I did see a few splashes out of it about 10 minutes ago, but nothing huge.

info needed: what's a common duration and interval on Till Geyser?
09:41:04
well its 9h between majors but less between minors
09:41:40
also Sputnik reports have been just 1m apart
09:41:41
how about duration?
09:42:41
majors long minors short
09:42:56
i would just take all Till reports - they are not very frequent
09:43:06
good point
09:43:48
usually just drive bys but you have to stop and time it to know if its a major or not
09:43:51
Sometimes I note them when driving by, but then forget to tell anyone, so that's a good point to get any info
09:43:52
the duration value is just for consolidating reports
09:44:16
yeah i like that for most geysers but there are too few Till reports for that to be useful
09:45:14
what/where is Morning Mist Geyser?
09:46:09
north end of LGB to the east of the highway
09:46:32
Thud Group?
09:46:52
its the steam beyond the trees on the right as you drive north from Fountain
09:47:14
no, at the end of the flats, theres a turnout jost before Fountain Flats road
09:47:16
found it on the GOSA site, thanks
09:47:21
turnout olon the right
09:47:31
Culex Basin, it's called
09:48:06
yeah. i went out there once. lots of small springs, not much in the way of geysers
09:48:31
silly me, I thought it would be next to Morning
09:49:22
I'm preparing to finally auto-load reports to geysers.net into GT
09:50:04
I am not sure which one it actually is, is it by Snort? In that area?
09:50:08
yeah
09:50:56
Maybe I've seen it and didn't know it was a geyser. Too bad.
09:51:21
its well off the highway, you have to hike to it
09:51:46
i am sure Jake could run there and back in 30min
09:52:03
I've been back there, just only saw Snort as an erupting feature, I think.
09:52:11

near Oval SPring and Old Tardy

10:02:59
17 hrs?
10:03:05
sorry 17 +
10:03:18
so, is that a double or single?
10:03:31
don't think so
10:03:42
single

Last one listed was 1702 yesterday.

have you guys seen this?:http://geysertimes.org/getGeyserInfo.php?geyser=Beehive

Graham quit (timeout)
10:05:28
I have seen those interval tables since Graham pointed them out several days ago. Awesome!
10:06:05
I think this is the longest interval in some time.
10:06:17
17h will be the longest interval in a while for BH....ditto
10:06:28
like 2-3 months
10:06:28
like, a month or 2
10:06:43
g
10:07:18
may be moving in to late summer mode
10:08:00
If we can remember to check the downloads, it will be interesting to see if it was indeed a single
10:09:33
a 7 and a 10 would make things interesting!
10:10:07
back to back 8.5h, not likely. my 2c worth. g

Right. I nned to make a small one for indoors. BTW do you know why chicken coops have 2 doors?
10:46:46
not a clue!

If they had 4 doors they would be chicken sedans.

Can anyone who has been lately tell me about Tilt vs Tilt's Baby?
10:54:38
We seem to be getting reports on both, which may be the same feature, depending on the reporter
10:55:49
other than recent reports on the Listserve, I don't have any more info.
10:56:49
but which hole is erupting, do you know?
10:56:54
TSB mentions in version IV of his book that the original vent on Tilt is buried beneath a cyanobacteria mat, but Tilt's Baby vents are still open.
11:02:32
TSB, Geysers of Yellowstone, V4, page 62. Tilt is number 64 in the book.

hi glennon
13:19:21
hello!
13:19:46
did you see my note about Riverside earlier?
13:20:08
Graham may have decided to not record it in favor or waiting for a daily basin report.
13:20:57
I watched for Riverside a while ago but with the wind and warmer temps, seeing steam down basin is a little harder.
13:22:16
i saw it. i added Graham's ? eruption and flagged away the proxy.
13:22:49
cool. I just didn't feel comfortable doing that myself.
13:23:00
it can be replaced later by better data, but for right now -- it may provide footing for those in the basin to plan their visit
13:23:38
I figured that was why you put in the proxy!
13:24:27
yes -- no right way or wrong way -- a questionable observation in the right time period seemed better than a completely derivative product
13:25:27
Looks like the two way sync between GT and Gnet is close.
13:25:55
ah. I havven't checked to see if working. Jake comment on it this am.
13:26:13
I think he's actively playing with it right now.
13:26:26
As Graham does most of the crossover copying, I am sure he will be happy!

I have done some, but very little compared to him.

technical difficulty. i turned off the Geysertimes--->GeysersNet sync.
15:00:22
...old eruptions were being eaten.
15:01:45
yikes!
15:02:13
is the GT.org to geysers.net sync still okay?
15:02:29
oops.. THat is the one you turned off!
15:02:30
no. that is off.
15:02:31
my bad.
15:02:44
should I be posting on both sites for a while?
15:02:58
I can do that easily until there is a fix.
15:08:23
I haven't tested it, but I suspect the sync is working GNet->GT
15:09:10
I will test it on my next entry.

15:22:23
so far... plume off by 1 minute
15:23:06
well, you better revise those formula's glennon!
15:23:07
:D
15:23:42
I posted that Plume time to G.net, if you want to check on sync. Did NOT post to GT.org. Yet.
15:24:42
Grand should be going according to your predictions BEFORE OF!
15:25:06
I just hope it waits until OF is over. Like Grand too much to see it from far off.
15:26:41
looks like Jake may have turned off his sync too.
15:27:14
he had said he was working on sync earlier. Maybe ran into problems.
15:27:40
I will wait a little bit longer before posting Plume. Don't want to confuse myself any more than necessary.

good!
15:31:08
Thank you for watching that.

We are now only waiting on Aurum. Not much else is due for a while.
16:02:15
did BH erupt or was it a false indicator?
16:02:44
BH did erupt at 1016. You would have been late...
16:03:09
probably would have made it in time.....but you never know
16:03:18
Long interval may have messed with our chances of seeing a 2 BH day for a while.

no, it involves the ID keys Jake and I are using to track eruptions. My site starting receiving olding keys in the sync file and overwrote the older eruptions
16:15:01
older keys, that is
16:15:14
...ah, that was terrible english.

we will trade humidity at the same temp and see if he likes that more

They have to change directions here on the hottest day. They also have to limit the loads.
19:12:16
yeah, fun
19:12:55
i think they should turn the AC off at the white house and Congress and dont let them leave till they resolve the debt crisis - turn on AC when its signed

What is really fun is when we get snow. Really ugly. About 2 years ago we had between 8 to 12 inches at my place.
19:13:41
Right. I wish I could just raise my debt limit and keep spending.

They should make congress and the congressional "retirees" be the last ones paid.

since the legislators havn't told the Treasury, I think the treasury decides

I see that Churn steam. Saw some earlier today, but nothing came of it.
20:28:11

Sawmill has seemed to be in charge over there.
20:30:09
yeah Churn unlikely to erupt now
20:31:23
So using glennon's prediction numbers, we might have a BH around 1400 tomorrow?
20:31:35
that is as long as we don't have another 17 hour interval.

21:01:10
daughter filled the back of the car up!! I didn't find a thing.....

I have been hiding this week.

there is some discussion on FB about shutting the chat page down. Paul Thompson, the developer is concerned about a some people not being comfortable here.
21:18:26

21:18:35
If you have thoughts or want to comment on his concerns, I would suggest that anybody/everybody check out the Yellowstone CamChat page on Facebook.
21:18:41
http://www.facebook.com/groups/yellowstonerocks?ap=1
21:18:47
I don't see why not. The only problems I have seen are a few potty mouthed idiots.

As a cam operator, I am not obligated to participate in the chat page. Our volunteer responsibilities extend only to operating the cam. I like to come here though because it is fun.
21:20:36
I am not going to comment on FB however about the issue.
21:20:47
Plume 2119 ie
21:21:07
Right. I like it since I can look away a bit and still catch something.
21:22:00
ynpvisitor61 joins Yellowstone
21:22:37
Hmm. Haven't noticed much unsavory activity on the chat. Anyway, if he shuts it down, I'll probably put one up. It's useful to have a side discussion around the cam.
21:22:46
Wiith the addition of glennon and jakes page, has the purpose changed?
21:22:53
ynpvisitor61 quit (timeout)
21:23:31
I really don't think so. They are totally different.
21:23:34
74, not sure what purpose you are asking about.
21:24:10
well I used to come here to see the eruption times, now that isn't as necessary
21:24:26
interesting that the FB page has only 24ish members and on a BH watch this page can generate ALOT of visitors
21:24:46
in fact some times show up even from webcam viewers that aren't mentioned here
21:25:00
You are right, we now have several resources for checking times. I think many people come here for the comraderie too.
21:25:40
It is kind of like sitting on the benches talking to other gazers.
21:26:08
true Kevin!
21:26:13
It has been fun talking to gazers that I have only read about.
21:27:11
Like any group it can get clickish feeling...I can see that!
21:28:15
I noticed that the link isn't in Graham's emails any more. Too bad for some who might have ventured in.
21:28:17
and at times we can each get in a snit about something, but most of us seem to get over it. We keep coming back anyway.
21:28:29
Beautiful sky at sunset.
21:28:52
oh yeah, and then there are the geysers and the Park that we all seem to have in common as something to talk about.
21:29:45
31, I agree regarding the link
21:30:05
I am not sure why Graham is no longer including it.
21:30:16

21:31:11
would be nice to have it back in the LS post
21:31:45
True Story: Memorial Day I was asking someone if they lurked and they said they lost the link!
21:31:58
Kevin, I am not sure we are going to get your Aurum in this evening. Sorry.
21:32:04
I said it was in Graham's email every night and they said, oh, I just read the times!
21:32:11
I hope you gave it to them 74!!!
21:33:05
I will have to look for my old videos.
21:33:21
Maybe G dropped it to test us!
21:33:45
Glad you have a reserve fix Kevin. :D

Is everyone on FB these days? That might not be a representative sample of users.
21:38:50
I don't know the answer to that 74. Many people are on FB, but I don't know that many people check that page. You will notice a fairly limited number of contributors.
21:39:04
I think I am one of the few that isn't
21:40:04
well get with the program Kevin!!!
21:40:06
Kidding.
21:40:38
I have had a FB account for several years and rarely go there. Too much of a hassle and I guess I am just plain anti-social by today's standards!
21:41:11
Only reason I went today was to see Graham's vaca photos.
21:41:39
Light is fading fast. Not sure we will even so much of OF when it erupts, which should be soon.
21:42:03
But you aren't going to post your opinion re chat?
21:42:26
speaking of FB I read another double River pause this evening, no eruption.
21:42:27
Cam in OF preset.
21:42:51
I am not because the person who wrote on the page had a complaint about the cam op's. I feel it would serve no purpose and might enflame the issue.
21:42:59
saw that also #31
21:43:04
OF 2142
21:43:37
nice OF...and strob lite effect
21:43:42
so the night shift will be back out again after a "nap". Hope they hold til morning light.
21:43:47
same event cycle as this morning at F&M
21:44:02
Nice eruption.
21:44:06
could be a good night down basin!
21:44:46
I am sure the night shift would like the moon light we had last week
21:44:50
I hope it's in daylight for everyone there.
21:45:02
me too!!
21:45:21
