<ynpvisitor77> hi
00:17:54
<ynpvisitor2> Ooh...almost #1 again
00:19:24
<Dave from B> Morning, vw!
00:20:15
<vw> Good morning Dave!
00:20:41
<vw> OF 0719
00:20:56
<vw> Good timing, although still kind of hard to see.
00:31:22
<vw> Something in the Grand area.
00:32:31
<Dave from B> Seems like it should have gone an hour ago or so...wonder if it is Turban, Vent or W. Triplet?
00:33:10
<vw> Clarity on the stream isn't good enough to really say what we are seeing.
00:34:42
<Dave from B> Morning, CC
00:34:51
<vw> Hi CC!
00:34:52
<CC> Good morning Dave and VW
00:34:58
<Dave from B> Now is when we start dreaming about nice clear spring/summer days
00:35:08
<CC> livescope doesn't look to bad this morning
00:35:27
<vw> LS has been good: no blue, no lines.
00:35:35
<CC> excellent
00:35:55
<CC> lloks psretty clear in the basin as well
00:36:07
<CC> nice Lion
00:36:15
<vw> Lion 0735
00:37:30
<vw> Acting like an initital.
00:37:42
<vw> *initial*
00:37:42
<CC> timing
00:41:25
<CC> 6 minutes now
00:41:32
<Dave from B> Length seems to indicate initial
00:41:59
<vw> Yeap. Nice. Gives us something to watch this morning. :)
00:42:21
<Dave from B> For a couple hours anyway...series seem to be shorter of late
00:42:45
<CC> have to go out..have a nice day
00:42:55
<vw> You too CC.
00:43:08
<Dave from B> bye, CC
00:49:01
<vw> We aren't getting any crossover postings from GT to g.net
01:00:28
<ynpvisitor24> ..
01:05:14
<ynpvisitor24> .
01:11:10
<vw> I am trying to post times on g.net, but having problems. Page seems to be getting caught in a loop when I try to submit the report.
01:11:34
<vw> May have to go back to manually figuring predictions. Oh NOOOOooooo!
01:12:34
<vw> Okay... that was freakish. Couldn't figure out where that 'steam' was coming from! Bobcat on walkway....
01:14:20
<Dave from B> afk...bobcat?
01:14:34
<vw> Mechanical kind
01:14:50
<vw> Sweeping snow off walkway and kicking a bunch up.
01:14:55
<Dave from B> gotcha....thought it was a bobcat escaping from Bozeman
01:15:31
<vw> Wouldn't that be something to see on the cam! Would qualify as a rare sighting I think.
01:16:00
<Dave from B> It would be right up there with Graham's moose
01:16:01
<vw> Ground fog taking away our down basin view. Watch GH for a while I guess.
01:17:04
<ynpvisitor24> .
01:17:27
<vw> I gave up on g.net. Any help with predictions today would be great!
01:17:51
<vw> Kevin having trouble getting online, so you all might be stuck with just me today.
01:18:58
<Dave from B> vw, we need to get that guy a new computer
01:19:22
<vw> Is it his computer, or his internet connection that is a problem?
01:19:45
<Dave from B> That's right...has has said he's had issues with connection before
01:19:55
<Dave from B> first has = he
01:20:09
<Dave from B> say that real fast 3 times
01:20:29
<vw> But as I know, sometimes what appears to be a connection/wifi problem can be a computer problem.
01:20:34
<vw> funny Dave!
01:21:33
<vw> I need to take a break. Back in a few minutes.
01:22:28
<Dave from B> No one will ever confuse me for a english professor
01:40:31
<vw> OF due, as is Lion. May have to keep an sharp eye on Lion area to see any eruption through OF steam.
01:45:05
<Dave from B> ..
01:46:04
<vw> Lion 0745
01:46:10
<vw> oops... 0845
01:46:53
<vw> Possible Plume 0846 ie ?
01:47:09
<vw> Steam seems to be coming from a different source than OF
01:48:15
<Dave from B> I look away for a minute and everything erupts
01:48:33
<vw> I do think Plume is erupting now.
01:51:18
<Dave from B> Change in wind direction from yesterday
01:51:28
<Dave from B> Good day for Aurum
01:51:55
<vw> it would be! and with Kevin out of commission, we are likely to see a couple. :(
01:53:54
<ynpvisitor24> .
01:55:45
<Hawkeye> good morning
01:55:54
<vw> Good morning.
01:55:57
<Dave from B> Morning, Hawkeye
01:56:29
<Hawkeye> I see I just missed a couple
01:56:38
<vw> OF 0856
01:57:11
<Hawkeye> or not :)
01:57:26
<Hawkeye> not much definition between steam and the sky this morning
01:58:10
<vw> Certainly isn't getting better as the morning progresses.
01:58:49
<vw> I think that one will qualify as a short...
01:59:41
<vw> Hard to be sure there is no more water, but seemed to fade pretty fast.
01:59:55
<Hawkeye> doesn't look like it will clear up like yesterday
02:00:16
<Hawkeye> it's always interesting to see the weather from yesterday in the park comes here the next day
02:00:39
<Hawkeye> except for the snow
02:01:55
<vw> Still no good view down basin.
02:08:44
<vw> wind direction swirling.
02:09:26
<Dave from B> Weird how fast wind direction changed
02:11:15
<vw> Trying to post times on g.net. Still no luck.
02:12:33
<Dave from B> Now wind has changed again
02:13:59
<vw> Snow swirling too
02:20:20
<Hawkeye> the park needs to send some of that swirling snow this way, I think we might have a non white christmas
02:20:53
<vw> I think what little we have here in Billings will be long gone by Christmas too.
02:22:13
<Dave from B> vw, I haven't seen the extended forecast for Blgs...no moisture coming?
02:22:57
<vw> I don't think much of a chance. Everything seems to be moving north of in the current weather patterns.
02:24:04
<vw> Seems like moisture is stalling on the western slopes of the Rockies and then moving in an arc north and around us Dave.
02:25:58
<Dave from B> Thanks, vw...Fro the next 3 weeks it's so busy at work I just hold on and hope to survive until January. Lacking on news right now.
02:26:53
<vw> That is kind of a good new/bad news thing Dave. $$ is good, but breathing is kind of necessary too.
02:35:23
<vw> Something going on in Grand area. What escapes me though.
02:35:36
<vw> Watching for water/spikes, but haven't seen any.
02:36:27
<ynpvisitor82> Sidewalk has been plowed on VEC cam.
02:37:07
<Dave from B> Oblong?
02:37:09
<vw> Maintenance has been busy this morning.
02:37:39
<Dave from B> nope
02:37:50
<vw> Not sure Dave. Have been watching for a few minutes. View keeps getting obscured though, so hard to keep track. Don't think Oblong though.
02:41:49
<vw> Need more coffee. brb
02:48:03
<vw> Good morning kc!
02:51:23
<vw> OF 0950
02:59:58
<vw> BSOD on operator cam. Was too good to last.
03:02:16
<Dave from B> Was that Pump looking big?
03:03:02
<ynpvisitor82> From what I saw it was.
03:14:40
<vw> view is pretty bad right now. Good time to give my eyes a little break.
03:22:43
<ynpvisitor24> .
03:36:41
<kc (working)> mornin
03:37:11
<Hawkeye> morning
03:44:10
<vw> Hey kc.
03:45:24
<vw> Just reading articles about wolf kills around the Park. Seems no matter what the issue is, these days there isn't a lot of middle ground.
03:47:15
<ynpvisitor82> I found a photo of the sign in front of Soda Butte, posted to FB Yellowstone CamChat. http://www.facebook.com/groups/yellowstonerocks/
03:47:33
<Dave from B> vw, I agree. For that reason, unfortunately, these issues are NEVER going to be resolved.
03:47:38
<Dave from B> That's a depressing fact
03:47:59
<vw> Agree Dave.
03:48:28
<vw> Discussion yesterday about Soda Butte? Fav winter lunch time spot.
03:49:17
<vw> Always fun to stop there because other cars think you are stopped because you 'saw something.' Always disappoint them when I hold up my lunch!
03:50:10
<Dave from B> :)
03:50:21
<ynpvisitor82> Swallow nests are interesting.
03:51:08
<vw> The Butte is a good place for birds. Southern exposure gets good sunlight and so stays warmish as well as has some protection from winds.
03:51:12
<Dave from B> Just as in the geyser basins...if you pick a spot in YNP and just watch you will catch much more.
03:51:53
<Dave from B> And, that is why I'm sad when people never leave their car
03:52:05
<vw> It actually is a good place for spotting: usually see some bison. Sheep not unusual too.
03:52:34
<Dave from B> There was a wolf den across the road near there about 5 years ago also
03:52:51
<vw> Actually not supposed to walk on the Butte, and area surrounding it is pretty marshy in the warmer months.
03:53:40
<vw> I haven't been as lucky spotting wolves in that area as others have. Might be the time of day I aim to be in the area?
03:54:17
<Dave from B> Almost have to be staying at Roosevelt or Cooke City/Silver Gate for best chances
03:55:08
<vw> I usually have luck either just around the corner near Buffalo Ranch, or like you say up near Roosevelt.
03:56:07
<ynpvisitor82> Clean out of Penta's 6th vent. http://www.google.com/imgres?q=Beehive+Indicator+vent+photograph&hl=en&sa=X&tbo=d&biw=772&bih=504&tbm=isch&tbnid=GDbpohqXne137M:&imgrefurl=http://geysers.org/notes/2007/06/&docid=hpk7gX2Fexm6hM&imgurl=http://geysers.org/notes/2007/06/6thVent.jpg&w=899&h=581&ei=S3PHULj-NqvLigKKpIC4Dg&zoom=1&iact=rc&dur=355&sig=104631743698976423343&page=1&tbnh=156&tbnw=231&start=0&nd
03:58:20
<vw> ? Pretty old stuff there Rich. 2007 was the most current date I saw.
03:58:27
<vw> People on bw on OF static cam.
03:58:34
<ynpvisitor24> that wolf news seems to be everywhere today
03:58:57
<ynpvisitor82> I always thought Penta only had 5 vents.
03:59:11
<ynpvisitor82> Never read anything mentioning a 6th.
03:59:13
<vw> Yeap, wolf news took a couple of days to hit the airwaves. MT's action yesterday to implement buffer zones finally kicked it off.
04:00:16
<vw> Actually a pretty brave thing the MT Commission did to implement that zone. MT residents generally opposed it.
04:01:22
<vw> aaahhh. Gotcha Rich! I am not too familiar with Penta, so interesting fact.
04:04:10
<ynpvisitor82> Bruce and I stood and watch Penta, I couldn't find 5 vents, let alone 6. g
04:05:28
<vw> Isn't Penta one of the area's that has shifting vents? Little ones that clog up and new ones open?
04:06:25
<vw> If a vent is aimed away from the bw, a visitor may never see it, Have to look for other evidence: steam/water. If conditions aren't right, or a feature is small, you might miss it.
04:08:07
<Dave from B> Probably easier to see in winter...might be a question for our hardy winter visitor.
04:08:55
<ynpvisitor82> I want to spend 'watch' time at Penta.
04:09:11
<ynpvisitor82> And at least a full day at Pump.
04:17:42
<vw> I think time in the Penta area could be interesting Rich, but Pump? Any note would read, 'water, water, water, water, etc. etc etc."
04:18:03
<ynpvisitor82> But the water does different things
04:18:18
<vw> um.. okay! :D
04:18:58
<Dave from B> Kevin can probably tell you a few things about Pump....his bench isn't too far from it
04:18:59
<ynpvisitor82> vertical eruption, jet toward Overlook, fill to overflow, empty, partial fill
04:19:53
<ynpvisitor82> Last time I sat and watched Pump I didn't have enough categories. I didn't indicate in my notes whether it was a verticcal or side jet.
04:20:10
<vw> Just different strokes. :)
04:20:53
<ynpvisitor82> Also be interesting to sit on the 'back' side of OF and watch the side vent activity.
04:22:34
<vw> Steam from BH increasing
04:23:59
<vw> Lion seems to be done for now. Nothing for several hours now. :(
04:24:59
<Dave from B> Any word on how Kevin's computer issues are going?
04:25:36
<vw> I haven't heard back from him for a while, so I am guessing not doing so good.
04:26:00
<Dave from B> We should maybe send him the computer smashing you tube video?
04:26:14
<vw> but he wouldn't have any way to view it!
04:26:33
<Dave from B> :D
04:26:38
<Dave from B> Duh!
04:26:42
<vw> Kind of like when my mom
04:26:44
<vw> oops.
04:27:10
<vw> mom's computer crashed a few days ago. Go to help screen and it recommends you visit a website. HELLO!!!!
04:27:34
<Dave from B> :)
04:30:10
<vw> OF 1129
04:40:12
<vw> BSOD for me so I am moving cam in hopes of getting a picture. Please bear with me.
04:41:49
<vw> Next move is going to be big swing. :P
04:42:09
<vw> Bison near sign by Inn.
04:43:11
<vw> No luck. Response times and zoom capabilities will be limited until it comes back.
04:54:58
<vw> Picture back. Hopefully it will hold.
05:04:11
<vw> skier on VEC cam
05:09:54
<Dave from B> vw, where did you see the skier?
05:10:12
<vw> VEC static cam. Still there.
05:10:30
<Dave from B> Thanks...had that window covered up
05:11:18
<vw> As employees are coming back into the basin this week for opening Saturday, we will see more and more people on the bw.
05:13:10
<ynpvisitor82> I did a capture.
05:28:01
<ynpvisitor88> .
05:35:03
<vw> Single bison on VEC static cam. Kind of cool.
05:37:39
<Dave from B> Having trouble finding something to eat
05:38:30
<vw> That is what those big heads are good at: digging for food.
05:40:15
<ynpvisitor82> vid running on streaming cam
05:40:36
<ynpvisitor88> .
05:41:15
<vw> Company coming
05:56:55
<vw> OF 1256 ns
06:01:12
<vw> I need to take a long break and get some other things done. Leaving cam on a wide view for now.
06:02:00
<Dave from B> sEE YA LATER, VW
06:05:12
<ynpvisitor82> ooops i didn't say G'Day Everyone, today.
06:05:26
<ynpvisitor82> Consider it said. g
06:05:55
<Dave from B> :)
06:06:14
<ynpvisitor82> Hi Dave from B
06:06:51
<Dave from B> Howdy, Rich
06:10:01
<ynpvisitor82> g
06:30:00
<vw> Heard from Kevin. Still no internet. May be off for a couple of days while he checks into a different ISP. Feel for the guy.
06:30:43
<Dave from B> That's no good. I've been meaning to send him a text to harass him...but haven't had a chance to
06:37:14
<vw> A day of being disconnected, he might appreciate even some harrassing!
06:39:09
<Dave from B> Harassment is on the way
06:40:41
<Hawkeye> visibility getting worse?
06:41:14
<ynpvisitor82> Bison 1238 mst vid cap posted to FB Yellowstone CamChat http://www.facebook.com/groups/yellowstonerocks/
06:41:16
<Dave from B> Sure looks like it
06:45:02
<vw> Sorry, sending email to ask for some help covering cam through this evening.
06:45:17
<vw> Yes... visibility heading south. Literally and figuratively.
06:46:02
<Dave from B> Phone-a-graham?
06:46:17
<vw> I like that Dave! :D
06:48:27

06:52:46
<vw> Just a few more days and they you get a nice long break.
06:52:48
<Dave from B> Hi, Will
06:53:05
<vw> this is not good. Losing view on GH too.
06:53:20
<Dave from B> Hopefully in about 5-10 years, I can help you out in the cam driving
06:54:48
<vw> yeah, you have to pay for those college educations first Dave.
06:55:33
<Dave from B> Pick lucky numbers and I'll start driving next week!
06:56:03
<vw> yeah, that just doesn't seem like much of a retirement plan to me Dave.... :D
06:56:20
<Dave from B> :D :D
07:01:58
<Dave from B> Not sure I want to win the lottery after what happened to someone from Florida
07:03:14

07:03:55
<Dave from B> Not sure when it happened...but winner was befriended and ended up in the person's backyard...6' under. Person got life
07:04:12

<vw> Yeap, sure looks like a steam phase to me.
07:19:41
<Dave from B> I'm getting that feeling...we are going to get a BH before dark

<ynpvisitor88> .
08:10:42
<ynpvisitor34> Does anyone know a good site to find stuff about the recent killing of that wolf. I have to do an editorial and some good sites would help.
08:11:37
<vw> I got a bunch of hits today on it just from my google alert. My google alert is set for Yellowstone.
08:12:05
<vw> Articles from around the country today.
08:14:04

08:16:35
<ynpvisitor34> Thank you. Did you guys ever figure out the mystery pic. My guess is pump.
08:17:46
<vw> I know there was a lot of discussion about it, but I don't know what the consensus was.
08:18:46
<Will B> Topaz
08:21:12
<Dave from B> Traffic jam
08:22:04
<vw> Certainly a convention of uprights!
08:23:17
<ynpvisitor57> I am totally jealous
08:23:56
<vw> They know that 57. Why else park themselves in front of the cams?!?!?! :D
08:23:58

08:24:12
<ynpvisitor57> :)

<vw> Yeap. Have had a nice ski around the basin, now they are tormenting us.
08:24:47
<cb> I will be right with you vw!
08:25:02
<vw> So glad you were able to help cb.
08:25:04
<cb> THAT is just NOT RIGHT!!!!!
08:25:21
<vw> cb is going to finish out the day on the cam for you all.
08:25:23
<Dave from B> Hi, cb!!
08:25:42
<Dave from B> vw, thank you for going beyond the call of duty today
08:25:54
<vw> I will be back tomorrow to check to see if Kevin was able to get a connection. If not, I should be around.
08:25:55
<ynpvisitor80> Potential cone walkers. g
08:26:15
<vw> Always glad to do it Dave. Thank YOU for keeping me awake!
08:26:26

<cb> What did we do before that....10 15 20....
08:28:00
<vw> Lots of gray overcast skies.
08:28:13
<vw> Hopefully you can catch BH and Grand. :)

<maureen> i have to drive first thing to Bozo tomorrow, it may end up a daymare!!!
08:46:37
<cb> ughhhhh
08:46:47
<maureen> hopefully they will SAND the road...one can hope.
08:47:33
<vw> Maureen, is your weather supposed to warm a bit after today? You know all those commuters will wear down some of that road buildup too.
08:48:13
<vw> So cb... No you need to goad Grand into starting, and then you can take the rest of the evening off?
08:48:25
<vw> *Now*
08:48:58
<cb> True, but i am not sure we would be able to see it IF it started!
08:49:38
<maureen> have not looked at the forecast..it is 25 outside, you would think it could snow instead of ICE...
08:49:43
<cb> those people went the WRONG way. They could have had a really nice surprise!
08:49:53
<maureen> i will have to deice my car to go home.
08:50:07
<maureen> humans about?
08:50:11
<cb> this weather is just really weird. have a storm coming in here tonight also
08:50:22
<cb> 2 leggeds

<cb> a whole herd of em!
08:50:46
<cb> ON SKI"S even!
08:51:48
<cb> you going to Bozo for work or a visit?
08:52:23
<cb> (thinkin work, cuz not sure you'd go out in that weather for a visit)
08:53:35
<vw> Maureen, your forecast looks like what you are now is what you will have through Saturday: Highs in the mid 20's, mid teens at night and continuing precip. I don't see roads getting much better unless they get lots of traffic.
08:54:38
<cb> I think she got busy with work vw! :)
08:54:39
<ynpvisitor80> Editing and uploading BH now.
08:54:44

<ynpvisitor80> 2 legged vid cap up at FB Yellowstone CamChat
09:39:02
<cb> Is everyone ready for the holiday's?
09:39:36
<Graham> never ready, just run out of time every year and nobody notices :)
09:40:37
<cb> :)
09:41:08
<cb> I got caught short today. Need to make some pumpkin bread and jam tonight
09:41:10
<Graham> u ready?
09:41:26
<Graham> lots of gifts for grand babies - wow how do you keep track?
09:41:28
<Hawkeye> a few more gifts to buy and decorate the tree that's been up since Sunday
09:41:36
<cb> Almost! Wrapped presents for the 12 grandkids last night.
09:41:56
<Graham> i have it easy tho, just fly to my sisters
09:41:58
<cb> Think next year its gift cards
09:42:06
<AG> Now that finals are over and I'm on break, I can christmas shop.
09:42:11
<Graham> hope you didn't forget anyone
09:42:44
<Graham> haha cb, i bet you love shopping for them and eseeing their eyes light up
09:43:01
<cb> I do!!!!!
09:46:27
<Graham> i am done with finals too Will :)
09:46:37
<AG> lol
09:46:44
<Will B> how many years ago....
09:46:49
<cb> LOL me too!
09:47:00
<cb> Not nice to ask age Will
09:47:27
<Will B> just a joke no need for an answer
09:47:49
<cb> I got that, just saying!
09:48:09
<AG> Never question the wisdom of a Elder Gazer.
09:48:19
<Graham> it was last century
09:48:20
<AG> (Elder as in older, not actually old.)
09:48:23
<cb> Good answer!
09:48:38
<AG> Do I get the gold star?
09:49:00
<Graham> AG hasn't graduated from "keep mouth shut" class
09:49:06
<cb> you have the chart? you get the star!
09:51:32
<Will B> so any bets on how big mouth will be next April?
09:51:54
<Graham> about the same as it is now
09:52:33
<AG> With the presence of two vents, I agree with Graham, that or it will slowly die, I wouldn't complain if it started erupting to 6 feet though :)
09:53:11
<Will B> I think it is one vent AG
09:54:59
<AG> Almost positive there's two, the lefthand one in the video just doesn't splash, you can occasionally see bubbles and pulsing from above where it's "located"
09:55:21
<AG> But If I'm wrong I'm wrong. no biggie, just an observation.
09:56:26
<Graham> maybe it will take over activity from the bug?
09:56:57
<Will B> what do you have against the bug?
09:58:00
<Graham> nothing, just a big geyser on the other side of the BW would be fun
09:58:31
<Graham> i didn't say it should remain the same size
09:58:51
<AG> Those showers would be warm for once probably.
09:59:04
<Graham> it is pretty close to the BW
09:59:15
<Graham> maybe need it to arch to the East
09:59:50
<AG> Hard to tell now, but if it does grow it seems like it will be a fountain geyser.
10:00:03
<AG> Would be nice to have something that does Blue bubbles on the Hill.
10:00:28
<Graham> yeah we need to move Velvet to the UGB
10:00:40
<AG> Although once I did observe a bubble from Anemone, but that was probably just a fluke.
10:00:55
<Graham> or STrokkur
10:01:04
<Will B> Lion?
10:01:13
<Graham> a geyser!
10:01:23
<Will B> Lion 1700 ini
10:01:44
<AG> Another short sleep.
10:01:47
