I missed Beehive by about 5 min.

Oh! that is worse than missing it by an hour in my opinion!

There is a good chance of a repeat this evening IF it goes short.

When I read my email this morning I saw that we have another shortage of cam operators. I can't devote much attention today, but will try to keep the camera aimed in the direction of predicted eruptions when I am able.
08:41:50
Hopefully other operators will be able to drive the cam and give it more attention.

How is Lion doing? I saw it last night. How does one volunteer to be a cam operator?
09:04:49
Good morning Inez.
09:05:16
Lion should be due in a little bit based on the last eruption at 0755ie.
09:05:24
Good morning back. Up and about early to bid on eBay so thought I'd take a look here too.
09:05:58
Cam operators are recruited when there aren't enough to cover most times.
09:06:12
I see. Thanks
09:06:13

Hi. Sorry so late getting here.
16:32:28

16:32:35
Lens not looking too good!
16:33:17
np, not much to do but wait
16:33:25
I was just going to say, I was back and could take the cam, but it looks like it doesn't matter that much unless you are a fish.
16:33:55
Yeah, when it is like this, not much you can do but wait it out.
16:34:31
u cant guess what i got at the rock show
16:37:14
you get me a big rock kc? :)
16:38:11
ill resist the joke opportunity to just tell u it is a t-rex tooth : )
16:38:30
:D
16:38:38
How big is a t-rex tooth?
16:38:56
hmmm personality-wise it might JUST fit me!
16:39:10
BIG Kevin, big!
16:39:33
mine is only about 1/2 inch in length and came in 2 pieces which i had to epoxy together. a complete tooth was going for 2200
16:39:47
Yikes.
16:40:03
I thought my dentist was expensive.
16:40:36
If only our teeth could be that well preserved after millions of years.
16:40:36
i also got a hadrosaur vertebrae which looks pretty neat
16:40:37
Is that Grand?
16:40:50
1625 on grand
16:41:23
If you are into paleontology, you should spend some time in MT kc. If nothing else, stop at the Museum of the Rockies in Bozeman your next trip north.
16:42:11
not only have i been there but i sat front row in front of jack horner
16:42:17
Actually a nice side trip when you are in the Park for a while and have a bad weather day!
16:42:27
Jack H. is SUCH a cool guy@
16:42:37
could not agree more, awesome museum
16:42:55
next trip is to royal tyrell in alberta
16:43:09
Yes, very nice. Not bad at all for a state like Montana.
16:44:46
mary schweitzer was there w the soft t-rex issue specimen that made her (more) famous
16:45:41
*tissue
16:46:20
Since my kids outgrew the dinosaur stage, I haven't kept up on the subject. Not familiar with Schweitzer. Was she on the T-Rex DNA team?
16:47:26
Looks like clear skies are prevailing in the basin. Lens should dry off pretty soon.
16:47:39
Is the cam covered for the rest of today?
16:47:44
they had to cut a large trex bone to make it 'small' enough to helicopter it out and her team dissolved a slice and found parts were malleable. no dna was extracted but no one thought that was possible
16:47:56
cam improving nicely from before
16:48:14
I can take it for about 45 minutes.
16:48:28
anyone is free to grab
16:48:36
Thanks Kevin.
16:49:09
I will be around the rest of today, and can take it when it is idle.
16:49:13
If I shkem my monitor real hard, do you think I can shake the water off the lens?
16:49:22
:)
16:49:44
pyrokenesis would come in handy just dont melt the cam
16:50:02
I will check in the morning to see what is going on. cb might take it, but if not I can take it tomorrow morning and through my regular shift.
16:50:44
I have it right now.
16:51:33
k. I will get some other stuff done. If it sits on preset for a while I will know it is time to watch predictions.
16:52:07
Not really anything in the prediction window now except OF and Plume. Should be a quiet night.
