<Dave from B> Good morning, Kevin

02:05:15
<Dave from B> Bus duty on a Sunday?
02:10:30
<Kevin L> No, Church time. Give it a 4 hour window.
02:14:19
<Dave from B> Based on 16 hour intervals...BH would be around 1315
02:14:33
<Kevin L> It is going to be strange without people there for a while.
02:15:02
<Kevin L> What did I tell you Dave? That also means it will miss my shift tomorrow.
02:17:36
<Dave from B> Doesn't sound like F&M is going to cooperate for last day visitors
02:18:13
<Kevin L> Hopefully they will at least get a good BH
02:26:26
<Dave from B> Who do you think is going to win the Sprint Cup?
02:26:53
<Dave from B> Turban 918 per GT
02:28:46
<Kevin L> Everybody I like keeps having problems. Anybody but Brad Keselowski or Jimmie Johnson.

07:13:56
<vw> Sure wish it was still daylight savings. Hate early dark.
07:14:48
<Dave from B> Yeah...Graham's cam time shrunk by an hour
07:15:26
<vw> kc is in the same boat. His shifts are all evening shifts. :(
07:15:55
<vw> cb and the Friday night operator too.
07:15:55

07:32:15
<Graham> hello
07:32:39
<Dave from B> Hi, Graham
07:32:45
<ynpvisitor4> hi hows the wait for beehive?
07:32:48
<vw> Hi Graham!
07:32:52
<vw> Home?
07:33:02
<Graham> yep, good trip to NY and back
07:33:24
<vw> Pretty quiet afternoon. Will is out on the BW hoping to get the last open season BH.
07:33:28
<Graham> had fun, went down to BatteryPark, ots of maintenance trucks trying to dry things out there
07:33:49
<Graham> ah ok. np more Morning or F&M?
07:34:09
<vw> Will's last check at F&M, he said it looked dead.
07:34:38
<vw> No Morning reports, and haven't seen Maureen here yet today.
07:34:51
<Graham> looks like Will enjoyed a nice Turban series this morning too
07:35:13
<vw> Hi Maureen!
07:35:20
<Maureen> hey all. I have been getting chores done for my trip tomorrow. The park this morning was great.
07:35:52
<Maureen> We had 3 crazy turbans, huge waves on all, the third time around Turban was huge and Grand finally started.
07:35:58
<Maureen> 9 hour interval.
07:35:59
<Graham> hi Maureen, good closing weekend?
07:36:08
<Maureen> it has been, yes.
07:36:25
<Maureen> I am headed back in for a HOPEFUL final Fountain before dark.
07:36:44
<Maureen> The Gushwas made it, always wonderful to see them. And Will has been great.
07:36:48
<vw> We will hope you see it.
07:37:06
<Maureen> So enthusiastic. I hooked him up with a job if he wants one too.
07:37:12
<Graham> hope it doesn't go too late for you
07:37:17
<Maureen> next year with Xanterra.
07:37:28
<vw> That would be great for Will!
07:37:33
<Maureen> If it does, it was AWESOME yesterday, so I am OK.
07:37:33
<Graham> cool, i heard he had applied too
07:38:02
<Maureen> Got there at 0645, too late for Fountain, yet in plenty of time for Great Fountain, which was super awesome.
07:38:14
<Maureen> Sun rising on the terraces, very, very nice.
07:38:14
<vw> :)
07:38:22
<Graham> good memories to last youthru the winter
07:38:47
<Maureen> He had applied with Delaware North like Demetri, yet since he has an in with my friend, he might be able to get a better job!
07:39:42
<Maureen> Waiting for Grand we got Sawmill first, then Daisy, then Castle minor, then Oblong, so there was plenty to occupy us.
07:39:57
<Maureen> and the crazy waves with no Grand.
07:40:28
<Graham> thats odd ... doesn't usually do that
07:40:29
<Maureen> Turban was as big as I have ever seen it before Grand started today,
07:40:38
<vw> OF 1440
07:40:42
<Graham> maybe thats the new Grand to replace the 5h Grand
07:40:48
<Maureen> I know, it doesn't usually do 9 hours either!
07:40:58
<ynpvisitor1> Hope you get your Fountain Maureen. Thanks for all the reports this season. Have a good trip. From UK gazers
07:41:24
<Maureen> Thanks UK gazers. I hope I get it too.
07:41:46
<Maureen> I saw 3 Old Faithfuls, one up close, too.
07:42:12
<Maureen> Miss Tara though, very weird to have closing weekend without her around.
07:42:25
<Maureen> Did the operas meet your expectations Graham?
07:43:00
<Maureen> I will not be on chat much anymore, well maybe some while I am in Missoula during the day, yet work is from 9-5, same hours as daylight now.
07:43:46
<Maureen> Great Fountain was very sad because it is May 27 before i can see it again!
07:44:01
<vw> We will miss you very much Maureen.
07:44:01
<Maureen> or close to that date, the Saturday of the weekend.
07:44:29
<Maureen> For some reason, the chat will not come up on my work computer...
07:44:37
<Maureen> That is probably for the best!
07:44:43
<vw> :D
07:44:48
<Graham> Turandot was great Maureen, Tempest was not my favorite although it has some great parts but the whole didn't really add up right
07:44:58
<Graham> Symphony was good but they changed the program because of the storm and limited rehersals
07:45:05
<Maureen> Glad one was great!
07:45:25
<Maureen> pressure lead them to cancel the marathon finally
07:45:27
<Graham> at leats you can catch up on work now :)
07:45:46
<Maureen> yeah, that is why I am taking this week OFF!!
07:46:01
<Maureen> I thankfully have everything lined out this week.
07:46:26
<Maureen> Time to go to Fountain. Bill Warnock was headed in, so hopefully he will be around. Steve Eide already headed for home.
07:47:12
<Graham> have fun
07:47:16
<Maureen> Here's to Beehive happening for Graham's arrival back!! And for all of you patiently waiting.
07:47:18
<vw> Enjoy!
07:47:19
<Graham> hope it goes in daylight
07:47:22
<Maureen> Bye.
07:47:30
<vw> Bye.
07:47:38
<Maureen> I will not stay for the dark beyond twilight, so me too!
07:48:36
<Graham> lots of unhappy runers in NY this weekend
07:49:10
<Graham> hotel had lots of people in the orange shirts
07:49:12
<vw> I am sure, but very difficult to justify the diversion of resources when so many are hurting.
07:49:48
<Graham> yeah i know, i think they regret not cancelling it on Wed rather than say its on and have so many people show up
07:50:21
<vw> Yes. I think that was the error.
07:50:27
<Graham> they didn't even let people run thru the finish line yesterday
07:51:18
<Graham> trip into NY was odd, no delays at all, got to the hotel faster than usual
07:51:59
<Graham> lots of power trucks headed to NY and NJ both Fgri and today, from MD, DC, VA, GA, FL, AL
07:53:36
<Graham> Will looks lonely
07:53:45
<Graham> assuming thats Will
07:55:04
<Dave from B> I think that's a good assumption
07:55:28
<Graham> everyone else at FTN?
07:56:10
<Dave from B> Sounds like it

10:50:22
<Maureen> Yes, I feel quite happy about the final weekend. Great Fountain was in overflow when I left it.
10:50:23
<Graham> and in daylight too
10:50:34
<Maureen> Jim from YTG was there, not sure how long he stayed.
10:50:48
<Graham> was it a long Ftn?
10:50:55
<Maureen> I have watched it overflow for 3 hours, so I wanted to get home before dark.
10:51:15
<Maureen> Sadly, no. Only 34 minutes, only 2 Thiefs before
10:51:27
<Graham> yeah thats a long wait for Gt Ftn
10:51:31
<Maureen> First one at 1543
10:51:53
<Maureen> And GF was so nice this morning, I thought that would be best for my last instead of dark.
10:51:56
<Graham> well this is a good case of only 2 MT, don't want to have you waiting till dark
10:52:24
<Maureen> I still am holding out a glimmer of hope that Jim got it before now.
10:52:39
<Maureen> He is driving in at 5 tomorrow, en route to boiling river...
10:52:53
<Maureen> so he will come in West, go out Gardiner...before 8!
10:53:32
<Maureen> I would have I think, until now I would have left, this way I got to go check on GF and be home before dark.
10:53:33
<Graham> getting every last minute
10:53:39
<Graham> when is the morning FTN? :)
10:54:03
<Maureen> really true. I figure 9-10 hours...it would be a morning MORNING...Bill W thought about it,
10:54:31
<Maureen> yet he agrees he has had it pretty good this week, and that that was an awesome last Fountain send off.
10:54:54
<Maureen> so blue, so fun.
10:55:02
<Maureen> was Beehive high?
10:55:04
<Graham> so glad you saw it
10:55:12
<Maureen> Greg and Will were there for it, I hope.
10:55:36
<Graham> it was a nice one, Will was still there, not sure who else
10:55:53
<Maureen> Greg went down to an event cycle at F & M yet I do not think it amounted to much.
10:56:05
<Maureen> Leslie said Greg saw it.
10:56:15
<Graham> still waiting for your Ftn post
10:56:23
<Maureen> So, that is that. No more park for me...
10:56:41
<Maureen> I will post, yet I wanted to jump on the chat and let you know first if you were still there, and here you are.
10:57:25
<Maureen> It will be a tough adjustment, November is a tough month for me. No park, winter comes, get out the violins !
10:58:11
<Graham> yeah i bet West gets real quiet now
10:58:43
<Maureen> bye, I will check in from Missoula. Night all, dark at 5:58...yowso. West will be very quiet until skiers show up at Thanksgiving.
10:58:57
<Maureen> There are thousands here. And then the yahoo hunters that come through.
10:59:07
<Maureen> And hard core fishermen, they are always about.
10:59:19
