23:41:51 <vw> Good morning all!
23:43:42 <vw> I see Dave M, BB and Pat S kept vigil on OF for us last night so we have good marks for when OF might decide to erupt. Very good.
23:45:41 <Kevin L> Morning
23:49:26 <ynpvisitor32> .
23:49:40 <vw> Morning Kevin!
00:01:01 <Kevin L> Heading out for bus duty.

00:11:09 <vw> Good morning Janet!
00:14:30 <ynpvisitor32> .
00:16:57 <vw> Anemone 0716 ie
00:20:30 <lc> Grand?
00:20:59 <vw> Probably lc.
00:21:48 <lc> may be Oblong
00:22:48 <vw> G.net had a prediction on Grand for 0547 this morning, so well within the normal variable for a Grand now.
00:24:22 <vw> Too foggy to see the base or if there is water, and cam needs to stay on OF right now.
00:27:48 <vw> Thinking Grand. Looks like a second burst now.
00:29:31 <CC> that was me that took the cam for a minute only
00:29:31 <vw> OF 0728
00:29:35 <lc> Im thinking Grand also, been going at least 9 min
00:29:39 <CC> and good morning to all
00:29:44 <vw> Ok. Surprised me!
00:29:50 <vw> Hi CC!
00:29:59 <CC> hi
00:30:02 <ynpvisitor32> ..
00:30:09 <lc> morning CC
00:30:16 <CC> the cam is still yours..I took it to see down basin
00:30:29 <CC> hi lc
00:30:34 <vw> I can't get it yet.
00:30:41 <CC> I am off

00:30:55 <vw> Nope
00:31:04 <CC> try again
00:31:12 <vw> there we go.
00:31:31 <CC> maybe took a minute because I am at the clubhouse
00:31:38 <Janet> Nothing better than morning eruptions!
00:31:51 <CC> OF was absolutely beautiful
00:31:58 <lc> when its tis cold.
00:32:01 <vw> They are beautiful, aren't they!

01:54:31 <vw> OF 0853
02:03:45 <vw> coyote. 2
02:05:45 <vw> got my wildlife shots for the day.

02:16:25 <vw> Riverside 0914 ie, Static cam
02:17:06 <vw> hmmm. Pat has Riverside at 0901 ?
02:18:22 <Janet> Was that a new steam cloud? Or just a continuation of Riverside?
02:20:34 <vw> I don't know! I didn't see anything at 0901, but I wasn't really watching for it either.
02:21:07 <vw> Riverside is one of those ones that I only incidentally most of the time. :(
02:21:11 <Janet> I'm only half paying attention to the screen - working on various projects, so I'm afraid I'm of little help on that one.
02:23:57 <vw> I can relate Janet. Even when I am on the cam there are other things to do.
02:44:19 <vw> .

03:48:54 <vw> Hi Dave!
03:51:19 <Kristine> Hi Dave!
03:53:14 <Dave from B> With poor visibility past week, it's hard to get a good feel for what BH has been doing
03:53:39 <vw> BH??? Is it still active? ;)
03:55:51 <Dave from B> Can't wait until we get more closed intervals with longer days.
03:59:52 <Kristine> Me too :)
04:05:33 <Kevin L> Been out fishing Dave?
04:07:03 <Dave from B> Sure been busy since November. Usually slows down after New Year's.
04:08:07 <Dave from B> People are finding our that we also sell to the public. Now is 5% of our business.
04:08:21 <Dave from B> Thursday and Friday afternoons are crazy.
04:08:57 <Kevin L> I would guess that fish would be popular about this time of year.
04:08:59 <Kristine> What's the steam cloud downbasin? Grand-ish area? I can kinda see if on the basin cam.
04:09:12 <Dave from B> Kevin, with banked Vegas track, I suppose people who like Daytona like to race in Vegas?
04:10:15 <Dave from B> We sell mostly crab, lobster and shrimp during holidays. Now, it is fish fish fish.
04:10:34 <Kevin L> Pretty much so. It sure was much better the way it was.
04:10:50 <Dave from B> Salmon, Halibut, Tuna, Grouper, Tilapia
04:11:23 <vw> Sorry Kristine, just saw your question. Going now.
04:11:23 <Dave from B> Have you ever been to the NASCAR race in Vegas?
04:11:55 <vw> Maybe Oblong? Missed it if it was. Pretty sure we had Grand.
04:12:06 <Kevin L> Only the Nationwide andd the trucks.
04:12:59 <Kristine> Maybe. I could just see part of it on the upper basin cam
04:14:06 <vw> Yeah, I saw it when I noticed your question.
04:15:15 <Kristine> It's gone now
