i see depression - no idea what the delay is today
09:18:11
Right. Hopefully it will be working soon.
09:19:19
Impressive.
09:19:39
Delay appears to be short.
09:20:35
0918ie sound good?
09:20:50
oops someone got it
09:20:59
I would buy that. I didn't even notice it until you said something.
09:27:59
Riverside? 09:27ie
09:28:46
Looks llike it.
09:30:50
OF 0930 ie
09:32:49
closer that I thought it would be on the static cam!
09:35:01
coming soon: OF in 3D!
09:35:23
I would like to see a night vision version.
09:36:33
Wherever they point it, it will be fun to watch on the next full moon.

Good morning.
09:46:41
Hi
09:46:44
Did Kevin just catch his first Aurum? Hard to get!!!
09:46:54
Most of it.
09:47:00
I had just noticed it about 15 sec before you moved the cam.
09:47:20
Unless you have the cam right on it, "most of it" is usually as good as it gets.
09:47:48
On days when the cam is unresponsive, you can't get there in time.
09:47:56
must not be much of a delay.
09:48:03
I am happy with that. Not sure what times for Grand & castle are, but we did have some BH splashes.
09:48:14
Cool!

I saw a new picture was up, but haven't opened a full window yet.
09:50:38
VEC Prediction times: Castle 0945(+/-1h), Grand 1030(2h), Daisy 1050(30m), Riverside 0900(30m), Great Fountain no prediction(2h)
09:51:20
I think we got a Riverside at 0927.
09:51:46
Perhaps we should look more down basin.
09:52:02
you are in charge Kevin! Go for it.
09:52:39
That should cover it.

Have you tried to look and see if they are still working on the basin cam? any equipment around? It would be a bummer to wait all winter for them to fix it just to see OF on 3 cameras
10:01:27

Just checked out the OF static cam. If THAT doesn't cause your brain to pause and take a break, then you should enlist in the navy!
10:07:37
not sure what that means, but OK! I am glad to see it though!
10:08:32
When I look at it, I feel like the ship we are on is going up a big swell, and my stomach isn't quite in sync with that!
10:10:27
OK! WAsn't sure about the brain pause, I think I got the navy part!
10:10:39
Do we have new cam op to congratulate?
10:11:21
two so far. Kevin L is on this morning. Hurray!!!
10:11:42
Maybe congratulate isn't the right word, lol.
10:11:45

Now maybe when 2 and 3 ops are in the Park at the same time it will still be possible to have an op here. Great news.
10:13:13
Yes! It is very hard to keep the cam staffed all the time when people have lives.
10:13:26
Still trying to get hand/eye coordination to work right.

It will come. In the meantime, hopefully people will be understanding.

If not, they can look somewhere else for entertainment!
10:14:27
Or they can laugh at the operator.
10:14:40
Luckily, most people who visit this page are VERY supportive.
10:15:31
I was an inspector for 32 years. I am really used to getting yelled at!
10:15:39
:D :D :D
10:15:54
Just don't plan a Cam-Op convention and all go to YNP at the same time. :)
10:16:09
Now THAT is a good idea 77!!!
10:16:32
With wifi at OF we could still keep an eye on the cam.
10:17:01
I like it.
10:17:10
Take turns sitting in the Snow Lodge.
10:18:13
Hearing FRS while driving the cam might be really fun, but I bet you'd just want to get out there!
10:18:57
but if we were all there, we could take turns. would be a lovely place to take our shifts.
10:19:57
If F&M, Giant or Giantess were erupting though, I can guarantee the camera would be sitting in one place for a while....
10:20:21
BHI might even do that.

My VEC cam does not update here. I have never been able to get that to work. I just open a new window with it.
10:41:03
ah ok. thanks.
10:41:56
I just gave up on it. I have never had the streaming work. Funny thing is this page will not open for me in IE, but works fine in FF.
10:42:49
I have the opposite, gave up on IE and went to firefox
10:43:15
Maybe I'll try that NPS page that has both statics side by side for another window
10:43:37
It is really strange. My kids computer works fine in both.
10:43:46
I just opened static cam in new windoe and it did update.
10:43:58
i recommend a freeware 'always on top' program like nailit or deskpins
10:44:37
I have heard of something that also makes it transparent!!
10:44:48
That's for when we should be working but keep watching. :P

That is about right. Makes it a bit toasty for me if I have to work in the shop, but I can handle that. I still don't want to put them outside. It has been fairly cool (under 105), but I think that would be much for them.
14:58:39
it would be much for me!

Daisy picking

I wish we would have had a webcam on Graham when he found the moose. Watching him on the controls would have been great.
15:10:16
Wait until you catch some wildlife. It is both fun and a challange!
15:10:25
those critters can move fast.
15:11:56
I am thinking we probably won't see many until Fall.
15:12:37
Likely only the occasional bison, and they will soon be disappearing as they begin migration to the Hayden for rut.
