01:42:19
<Hawkeye> I texted my parents. Not sure where they are.
01:43:45
<kc (working)> ty
01:44:30
<vw> Good morning!
01:44:39
<Hawkeye> morning
01:44:44
<Dave from B> Morning, vw and kc
01:44:46
<vw> Hawkeye, your dad just called me to find out about BHI
01:44:55
<Will B> BH 0844
01:45:10
<Hawkeye> lol good
01:45:37
<vw> They were just strapping skies on when they noticed it. In front of VEC I think. I told them to go to the overlook, but it looks like even that is too far!!!
01:45:47
<Hawkeye> probably
01:46:14
<ynpvisitor10> bav
01:46:20
<ynpvisitor10> back up
01:46:23
<Dave from B> Have BHI's been really short or have we just been missing the starts ?
01:46:28
<vw> He said they saw last nights BH. Very cool: for them to see it so quickly and for us to have closed interval.
01:46:36
<ynpvisitor52> cam op is not on the page
01:46:47
<vw> I think maybe a bit of both Dave?
01:46:48
<Hawkeye> yeah they were waiting for OF and he thought he heard a jet
01:48:24
<ynpvisitor10> snow blower is out
01:49:55
<vw> Nice BH. We can actually see it!
01:54:13
<vw> Hawkeye, next time you talk/text them, make sure to tell them they just have to be out about 1100 pm to about midnight for next BH. :D
01:54:53
<Hawkeye> lol I'll pass that on
01:55:12
<vw> FYI, looks like LS is acting up again. That will affect the operator being able to respond. Driving blind.
01:55:25
<vw> Heading out. Have a great day all!
01:55:59
<Hawkeye> you too
01:58:02
<Dave from B> bye, vw
02:11:22
<Will B> td if you are on here Lois had BHI at 0835ie
02:14:00
<Hawkeye> I'm assuming no one was here to get a capture of my parents last night with the snowman?
02:14:28
<Will B> I think kc got captures maybe
02:14:32
<Hawkeye> ok
02:14:48
<Will B> check yesterday's log
02:17:23
<Hawkeye> the only one I saw was of the coyote
02:17:33
<Hawkeye> sunshine!
02:17:38
<Will B> oh ok
02:22:10
<Kevin L> :p
02:22:24
<Dave from B> Morning, Kevin
02:22:30
<Dave from B> :P for BSOD?
02:23:12
<Kevin L> Staring off really good. Get the BH txt while I was at the dentist and it is snowing outside.
02:23:27
<Dave from B> Snowing at your house?
02:23:35
<Kevin L> yep.
02:23:55
<Dave from B> Wow
02:24:06
<Kevin L> Nothing but flurries and it won't stick, but it is cold.
02:24:19
<Dave from B> I hope your dentist is a good friend. Seems like you visit him quite a bit.
02:27:07
<Kevin L> Just a clean & lube.
02:28:42
<Hawkeye> I get to go next Tuesday
02:30:03
<ynpvisitor7> G'Day Everyone
02:30:59
<Dave from B> Morning, Rich
02:31:37
<ynpvisitor7> loisb thinks she saw BHI as early as 0830ie, going to check her captures.
02:32:16
<Dave from B> Thanks, Rich
02:35:04
<ynpvisitor7> Got a late start this morning or I would have gotten BH. Bed was to comfy. g
02:36:18
<ynpvisitor7> Looks like UGB got dusted with new snow.
02:46:41
<Dave from B> 2 snowshoers?
02:53:38
<Hawkeye> skiers
02:55:05
<ynpvisitor29> blue sky!
02:58:37
<Micah K> morning all.
03:00:02
<Hawkeye> morning
03:00:25
<ynpvisitor7> Hi Micah K
03:00:46
<Micah K> how was the bug?
03:01:32
<Hawkeye> great
03:02:24
<Micah K> good, I actually had the computer right next to me when it went off, but my phone was in another room so I didn't get the text. doh!
03:03:37
<ynpvisitor7> http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=XZVLG67Uzg0
03:04:57
<Kevin L> Livescope isn't letting me control the cam.
03:06:47
<Micah K> thanks 7
03:13:08
<ynpvisitor7> yw
03:21:54
<ynpvisitor45> vw here. Is Kevin around?
03:22:43
<vw> Todd and Lori are at Grand. Maybe Turban now.
03:24:13
<Dave from B> Not sure, vw. He was having problems with Livescope
03:24:33
<vw> Thanks Dave. Texting with him now.
03:25:42
<Dave from B> He's probably out playing in the snow
03:26:59
<vw> Is anybody seeing water in that? Picture on LS sucks.
03:27:15
<Micah K> I just see a roiling column of steam.
03:28:12
<Micah K> I think the spikes basically come up to the left of that one tall tree you see there. That's where I'm looking.
03:28:33
<Hawkeye> I don't see any spikes
03:28:37
<vw> Todd reports Oblong. No time, so say 1028 ie.
03:29:02
<Micah K> spasmo at 1028 ie as well.
03:29:18
<Kevin L> Still won't connect vw
03:29:50
<vw> Oh... Hi Kevin!
03:31:53
<vw> Kevin keeps disappearing.
03:32:22
<Micah K> Guess the page has picked him to be the victim of it's antics today.
03:33:31
<vw> Not good on top of LS antics!
03:33:36
<ynpvisitor7> I had trouble getting into the chatroom, took about 6 tries.
03:34:25
<Micah K> I got in pretty easily. What browser are ya'll using?
03:34:38
<ynpvisitor7> Chrome
03:35:00
<Hawkeye> I'm using chrome and haven't had any issues
03:35:11
<vw> ditto
03:35:13
<Micah K> same Hawkeye
03:35:54
<Micah K> is our snowman still there?
03:36:27
<Hawkeye> yup!
03:36:36
<Hawkeye> dad got a kick out of it having legs
03:36:38
<vw> Todd said it is very cute!
03:37:34
<vw> If Kevin continues to have problems, I can run the cam for most of the day, but need to get a few things done.
03:37:51
<vw> I am going to leave it in wide and will be back in about 20-30 minutes.
03:37:56
<Kevin L> I think I may have it. Going to try to take it now.
03:38:03
<vw> k
03:38:11
<Kevin L> Got it.
03:38:13
<vw> It worked!
03:38:18
<Kevin L> That was strange.
03:39:48
<vw> Kevin, I am going to go ahead and get my things done so if you need backup, I can be ready.
03:39:51
<vw> Back in a bit.
03:40:30
<Kevin L> ty vw
03:40:34
<Micah K> Split cone's channel melted again. eruption overnight probably.
03:56:15
<Hawkeye-lunch> do we have a prediction for daisy?
03:56:28
<Dave from B> let me ckeck. brb
03:57:38
<Dave from B> No Geyser predictions on VEC Hotline. Steve is off today, I believe
03:57:42
<Hawkeye-lunch> ok
03:58:04
<Micah K> Little Squirt ie 1057
03:58:13
<Micah K> with a ? of course
04:11:56
<Kevin L> of 1111
04:12:11
<Micah K> make a wish haha.
04:14:02
<Dave from B> I wish it was Spring
04:16:49
<Kevin L> Looks like some doggies waiting for Grand & Daisy.
04:17:20
<Micah K> and Sawmill's ie 1116 it looks like.
04:18:58
<Kevin L> Here you go Dave:
04:18:59
<Kevin L> http://www.harborfreight.com/200-piece-assorted-spring-set-67562.html
04:20:32
<ynpvisitor7> /
04:23:33
<Dave from B> Thanks a lot Kevin:)
04:23:54
<Kevin L> It was the least I could do.
04:26:14
<vw> Daisy 1126 ie ?
04:26:20
<vw> So much steam I can't tell!
04:26:50
<vw> Kevin, I will be close to computer should you need me to take the cam.
04:27:57
<Kevin L> OK. I think I have bus duty at 1335.
04:28:38
<Kevin L> I think we are just getting the boils on Daisy.
04:30:15
<vw> Todd just reported they are at Grand and the pool is full. Asked him about Daisy, but no reply yet. Hard to manage those little keys in the cold.
04:32:19
<kc (working)> looks like daisy now
04:32:34
<vw> yeap. Good eyes kc.
04:32:44
<vw> you must be younger than me. :D
04:33:04
<kc (working)> stronger prescription maybe
04:33:31
<vw> hehe
04:34:25
<vw> time to shovel the front walk. Back in a bit.
04:36:35
<Kevin L> Gee dear, I hate these frozen dinners.....
04:36:35
<Hawkeye-lunch> he had texted me about Daisy but I could only tell him when the last eruption was
04:45:15
<vw> Hawkeye, did you get a chance to check out geysertimes.org and geysers.net? A huge help in watching times and getting fairly reliable predictions.
04:46:50
<Hawkeye> I did
04:46:50
<Hawkeye> yes
04:46:52
<Hawkeye> thanks
04:47:15
<Hawkeye> my phone is almost dead, I have barely used it today so might need a new battery. I told dad to text you with any questions.
04:47:43
<Hawkeye> Glad we have a recent daisy to go off of
04:49:52
<vw> Yeah, he is keeping in contact with me Hawkeye. I just suggested they check out the areas around Penta and Sawmill. Keeps them moving while they wait for Grand.
04:50:46
<Hawkeye> true
04:50:49
<CC> hi all
04:50:53
<Kevin L> Hi CC.
04:50:56
<CC> vw dp ypu have the cam
04:51:03
<CC> do you
04:51:03
<vw> Kevin has it.
04:51:03
<Kevin L> I have it.
04:51:10
<Dave from B> Hi, CC
04:51:11
<vw> Hi CC!
04:51:22
<CC> okay...don't know what the problem was this morning
04:51:25
<vw> I am just around for backup.
04:51:26
<Kevin L> It did harrass me this morning though.
04:52:02
<CC> Kevin when I find my phone I am going to call
04:52:05
<Kevin L> It was really strange. Just said it could connect to video server, but did have the video on it. New on for me.
04:53:06
<vw> Todd: Turban 1150. Pool is dropping.
04:53:12
<Hawkeye> does anyone have the snowlodge front desk number?
04:57:49
<vw> Sorry Hawkeye, I don't.
04:58:10
<Hawkeye> ok thanks
04:58:28
<Dave from B> Should be time for Lion soon
04:59:08
<Hawkeye> is there a link with weather info?
05:00:08
<Dave from B> Current weatmps or forecast?
05:00:34
<Dave from B> weather temps or forecast?
05:00:37
<vw> NOAA is http://forecast.weather.gov/MapClick.php?zoneid=WYZ0014
05:00:41
<Dave from B> Page is really bugging me today
05:00:44
<vw> But that forecast is for Lake.
05:01:33
<vw> For current, the best is mesowest http://www.wrh.noaa.gov/mesowest/mwmap.php?map=mt
05:02:24
<vw> Find the OF Ranger Station or Firehole at OF location and click. Good recent temps and conditions, although it can be a bugger to find the locations the first time!
05:03:06
<vw> To reach the Snow Lodge, you might try 307-344-7311. That is the reservation number for Xanterra in the Park.
05:07:07
<Hawkeye> ok thanks
05:18:17
<Kitt> Home for lunch
05:18:26
<Kitt> our snow waited until dark last night
05:18:29
<Kevin L> Hi Kitt.
05:18:33
<Kitt> then it snowed all night
05:18:38
<Kitt> hello
05:18:49
<Kitt> I'm guessing we got about 3"
05:18:52
<Kevin L> I had snow today
05:19:18
<Kitt> the people who are suppose to maintain our walks and parking lot at the center keep showing up late
05:19:48
<Kitt> I spent 30 min. this morning making a path so people could get to the building
05:20:22
<Kitt> we didn't get a lot of snow but it does have a high moisture content and now it is starting to melt
05:20:44
<Kitt> How much did Billings get?
05:21:51
<vw> Only about an inch or so. Melting fast now.
05:22:06
<vw> More snow predicted to start tonight or early tomorrow though.
05:22:31
<vw> Todd: West Triplet keeps erupting, but so far no Rift.
05:23:08
<vw> Bitter cold supposed to sweep back in to Billings tomorrow.
05:23:55
<Kitt> but it is suppose to be nice starting Friday
05:25:32
<vw> So cold won't go as far south as Worland. Nice if you can get a few days of stable weather!
05:25:52
<Kitt> hm, I was hoping for Grand before I disappeared for lunch
05:26:03
<Kitt> I heard it was suppose to get cold here
05:26:22
<Kitt> it tends to funnel down into the basin
05:27:18
<vw> Tomorrow night we are supposed to get down to about zero. Wednesday high is 18
05:27:36
<Kitt> oh, that is still pretty warm
05:27:43
<vw> I think we lose sunshine after today. :(
05:27:47
<Kevin L> OF time
05:28:30
<vw> Cold doesn't bother me as long as we get some of these sunny days!
05:29:23
<Kitt> off to lunch, enjoy the geysers
05:29:26
<Kitt> bye
05:29:54
<Kevin L> bye
05:30:05
<vw> Bye Kitt!
05:31:13
<Dave from B> ..
05:38:41
<Hawkeye> phone is officially dead :(
05:40:44
<vw> Been there, done that! Mine is charging as I use it.
05:42:13
<vw> Hawkeye, I pm'd you.
05:43:53
<Hawkeye> I should have brought my charger, I wonder if maybe it didn't charge fully through the night
05:46:56
<Dave from B> ..
05:47:13
<ynpvisitor23> Of 1246
05:47:26
<Dave from B> How long have Todd and Lori been at Grand?
05:47:40
<Kevin L> BSOD on ls right now.
05:49:40
<Hawkeye> about an hour I think?
05:49:58
<Hawkeye> first text came at 11:30
05:50:03
<Hawkeye> that the pool was full
05:50:29
<Dave from B> Thanks, Hawkeye...just seemed longer
05:50:57
<Hawkeye> np
05:58:44
<ynpvisitor53> .
05:58:49
<ynpvisitor53> .
05:58:49
<ynpvisitor53> .
06:03:40
<vw> Todd: WT is rained. Just finished another Turban.
06:21:36
<Kevin L> Darn. Had me excited for a minute.
06:21:49
<Kevin L> Looks like just Turban.
06:26:22
<Micah K> wait, Grand hasn't erupted yet??? wow
06:26:35
<AndrewW> hi micah
06:26:49
<Kevin L> Not that I have seen
06:26:59
<Micah K> hi Andrew.
06:27:27
<vw> VEC predictions: Riverside 1315, Daisy 1420, Grand 1525
06:27:54
<Kevin L> Weare in the window.
06:28:00
<AndrewW> perhapsburg it erupted when you couldn't see it
06:28:50
<Micah K> there was quite a bit of steam around that area this morning, but I didn't think it was tall enough to constitute suspicion
06:28:50
<Kevin L> There are feet on the ground out there.
06:31:03
<vw> Could have been E times downloaded. Steve not on duty today, so don't know that anybody else would post to GT.
06:31:26
<Micah K> thanks kevin and vw.
06:31:52
<Micah K> I'm kinda lurking today mostly, got some other side projects I'm working on.
06:32:14
<Kevin L> If they are posting 1525 I am guessing someone saw it.
06:32:54
<Dave from B> Should have gone around 7 or 8 then?
06:33:43
<Kevin L> That is what I am thinking. They must have a time to predict it from.
06:34:59
<Kevin L> Heading out. brb. Since vw is here I will leave it on Grand.
06:36:53
<Dave from B> Drive safe
06:38:52
<vw> ooohhhh: sun in the basin!
06:40:03
<Micah K> Grand's going to be awesome looking if it stays just like this.
06:40:30
<vw> Not sure the sunlight will stick around, sadly.
06:52:20
<ynpvisitor33> any Grand yet?
06:52:31
<AndrewW> no
06:52:52
<Maureen> So a Turban was posted a while ago, yet no more...did Todd and Lori move on?
06:53:02
<vw> A few reports of Turbans.
06:53:03
<Maureen> blue sky here, nice
06:53:04
<Hawkeye> vw did you text my parents with the predictions?
06:53:11
<vw> I haven't heard from Todd for a while now.
06:53:14
<Maureen> only one on GT
06:53:20
<vw> Yes, I sent predictions.
06:53:21
<Maureen> 1150
06:53:26
<Hawkeye> ok thanks
06:53:32
<Maureen> what is the Grand prediction?
06:53:46
<Micah K> 1525 I think
06:53:53
<Maureen> we can see vw, how novel.
06:53:56
<vw> Yes, that is what the VEC has.
06:54:17
<Maureen> so we are in the window. I wonder why they do not post E times?
06:54:41
<Maureen> ooh, looks ominous there
06:55:10
<Dave from B> Hi, Maureen and Micah and Andrew
06:55:16
<Maureen> vw Did you hear G got home fine, and even had until noon to get to work because of ICE warnings in DC
06:55:30
<Maureen> hey Dave from B!
06:55:42
<Micah K> hi Dave.
06:55:46
<Maureen> another late Monday lunch for me.
06:55:51
<vw> No, I hadn't heard that Maureen! Thank you for letting me know. I worry!
06:56:48
<Maureen> his luggage made it too.
06:56:59
<vw> :)
06:57:14
<Maureen> no word yet on if the ice storm materialized or not
06:57:15
<vw> Wow. That is an interesting sky!
06:57:35
<Maureen> I prefer the blue
06:57:53
<Maureen> turban now maybe
06:57:54
<Dave from B> Who in their right mind likes gray skies?
06:58:00
<vw> I don't remember if Graham was going to be here this evening or not. Will be nice to see him back on the cam!
06:58:04
<Maureen> true dat Dave
06:58:19
<vw> We need Grand NOW! :D
06:58:23
<Maureen> you mean the chat?
06:58:32
<vw> Yes.
06:58:38
<Maureen> he will not be back on the cam, at least for our viewing..he he
06:58:58
<vw> hehe
06:59:05
<AndrewW> those clouds look mencaing no snow but still
06:59:12
<Maureen> todd and lori's turn
06:59:23
<Micah K> They can put snow on the ground during the night, but then they need to skedadle.
06:59:37
<Maureen> GO GRAND!
07:00:10
<Maureen> closed interval on BH? That is good.
07:00:25
<vw> I told Todd he could catch the next BH between 1100 and midnight. I think he had other plans. :D
07:00:57
<Maureen> what could he be thinking???
07:01:10
<Dave from B> He would have caught Grand ealrier today if he's gotten out of bed:)
07:01:52
<vw> True Dave! But as a farmer he probably gets up at the crack of dawn every day.
07:01:59
<Maureen> do you guys have the earlier time?
07:02:03
<Micah K> I'm sorry Maureen, but me and Beehive will always be at odds with each other after I waited for it last summer till 0043, I left. And it erupted an hour later.
07:02:25
<Maureen> Micah, you are too funny
07:02:31
<vw> On Grand? No. Steve isn't in the VEC today, so no early/electronic times posted.
07:02:36
<Dave from B> After all, Todd and Lori are oon VACATION
07:02:37
<Maureen> That was one time, so you will ALWAYS be at odds?
07:02:54
<Dave from B> Micah seems to hold grudges, Maureen
07:03:03
<Dave from B> He never forgets:)
07:03:05
<Maureen> I get that, I think it is soooo funny
07:03:08
<Micah K> haha
07:03:35
<Maureen> wow, the sky sure has changed there
07:03:47
<Maureen> any blue by OF?
07:04:02
<Maureen> No Grand this time...
07:04:35
<Maureen> ty for the pan
07:04:53
<Maureen> Did I see Kevin say he got snow?
07:04:54
<vw> np
07:05:30
<vw> I missed that if he did. But I haven't been in chat a lot today.
07:05:35
<Dave from B> Yeah, not sure it stuck but it wasa flying
07:05:35
<Maureen> it is windy here, it does not look windy at the basin
07:05:54
<Maureen> I think he mentioned it.
07:06:18
<Hawkeye> those dark clouds in the distance moved in
07:06:37
<Hawkeye> up to 50 degrees for us today, almost 60 tomorrow and high of 19 by the end of the week!
07:06:42
<Maureen> hey Hawkeye, glad our wind is not there
07:06:45
<Micah K> someone sitting at plume.
07:06:49
<Maureen> winter is whacky...
07:07:07
<AndrewW> i saw two legs on the hill
07:07:09
<Hawkeye> definitely
07:07:09
<Maureen> do you know where your parents are now, Hawkeye?
07:07:16
<Hawkeye> no
07:07:29
<Hawkeye> my phone is dead so they've been texting vw and she said a bit ago that she hasn't heard from them
07:07:33
<Maureen> still looks like blue sky may be out there...
07:07:40
<Hawkeye> in spots yeah
07:07:51
<Maureen> a dead phone, I hope only out of battery...
07:08:45
<vw> Hi Will.
07:08:57
<Hawkeye> yes just the battery
07:09:12
<Hawkeye> can charge it in 2 hrs when I get off work
07:09:34
<Maureen> Glad they are in touch with vw
07:09:42
<Hawkeye> yup
07:09:56
<Will B> I can tell G is home.
07:09:59
<Maureen> so does work know you are on the chat?
07:10:09
<Maureen> why is that Will?
07:10:16
<Will B> FB notifications
07:10:19
<AndrewW> f and m?
07:10:22
<vw> OF 1410
07:10:28
<Maureen> oh, he did not have to go to work until noon.
07:10:31
<vw> Something down basin.
07:10:40
<Will B> vw after of can you zoom on that cloud down basin
07:10:43
<vw> Tall and white anyway!
07:10:43
<Maureen> riverside?
07:10:51
<Will B> too far left
07:10:54
<vw> Yeap, planning on that Will.
07:11:07
<Micah K> I think riverside.
07:11:16
<Micah K> I hope F&M
07:11:16
<Maureen> me too
07:11:17
<AndrewW> in this weather, seems to small for frustration and mortification
07:11:17
<Micah K> :p
07:11:34
<Maureen> it would be a huge plume,you would think
07:11:42
<Will B> But to me that is in the correct location
07:11:54
<Maureen> and Riverside is right near it, right?
07:12:01
<Micah K> One does not simply identify mordor? lol
07:12:10
<vw> hehe
07:12:15
<AndrewW> I use rge row of trees on the bottom of the screen
07:12:25
<Will B> some one have the link to Rich's labeled pic
07:12:27
<AndrewW> :D
07:12:39
<Micah K> I do, standby
07:12:59
<Maureen> steamy day
07:13:06
<Maureen> what else is new, eh?
07:13:14
<Micah K> Whoa, My facebook exploded. Hello.
07:13:33
<Maureen> how does one's FB explode?
07:13:40
<Hawkeye> work does not know maureen
07:13:48
<Will B> tons of notifications
07:13:53
<Hawkeye> the boss is gone today but he usually doesn't pay attention to what I'm doing
07:13:54
<Maureen> probably best Hawkeye
07:13:57
<Micah K> I half expected it was you Will lol.
07:14:04
<Will B> nope
07:14:15
<Maureen> dark sky now
07:14:16
<Hawkeye> oh yes
07:14:22
<AndrewW> upon searching I found this photo and am at a loss for what it is: http://www.panoramio.com/photo_explorer#view=photo&position=440&with_photo_id=3989999&order=date_desc&user=520781
07:14:24
<Micah K> http://donsplace.orgfree.com/ofcc2/images/UGBpan02as_labeled.jpg
07:14:30
<Hawkeye> he knows we get our work done and get the customers taken care of, that's all he worries about
07:14:40
<Maureen> good boss
07:14:50
<Hawkeye> yup
07:15:01
<Will B> save the cam!
07:15:02
<vw> Sorry, defensive mode with cam.
07:15:05
<Micah K> I just posted Rich's panoramic photo.
07:15:17
<Hawkeye> I do have a customer coming in soon to look over a plan so I'll be away for awhile in about 10 minutes
07:15:41
<Micah K> tour group?
07:16:20
<Micah K> Andrew I'm at a loss too. My guess would be one of those pools up by Artemesia.
07:16:23
<Micah K> along the trail.
07:17:08
<vw> Daisy 1416 ie
07:17:20
<Micah K> yay, a geyser!
07:17:55
<vw> with wildlife too. Life can be good.
07:18:08
<AndrewW> but cold
07:18:57
<vw> Coming up: Riverside location.
07:19:16
<vw> I would look for Riverside just to the left of those two tall trees right of center.
07:19:40
<vw> We were too far away though to tell where that tall plume came from a bit ago.
07:19:41
<Maureen> the plume did not sustain itself for long....
07:19:50
<Maureen> back to Grand?
07:19:57
<vw> Based on duration, I think it was Riverside.
07:20:03
<Maureen> me as well
07:20:09
<Maureen> Grand?
07:20:33
<Will B> turban
07:20:37
<vw> Maybe a Rift or Turban?
07:20:54
<Maureen> it does not look nice there.
07:20:58
<vw> Todd had said no Rift earlier, but that has been a while.
07:20:59
<Kevin L> I am back.
07:21:00
<Maureen> come on Grand
07:21:07
<vw> wb Kevin!
07:21:12
<Kevin L> Guessing Grand did not go yet.
07:21:19
<vw> Nope.
07:21:24
<vw> Did have Daisy though.
07:21:25
<Maureen> just had Daisy
07:21:34
<Kevin L> I can take the cam whenever you are ready.
07:21:49
<vw> Go for it.
07:21:54
<Maureen> Kevin did you get snow?
07:22:01
<Kevin L> Got it.
07:22:06
<Kevin L> ty vw
07:22:22
<Kevin L> We had a few flurries. Really surprised me.
07:22:41
<Maureen> did you find any old lights for the trees?
07:23:21
<Maureen> no Grand this Turban...
07:23:51
<Kevin L> Nope. There were about 1000 boxes in there. I did find a really cool circular saw though.
07:23:54
<Maureen> looks like wind and snow is picking up there.
07:24:09
<Maureen> well, glad you had a find of some kind.
07:24:35
<Maureen> lunchtime over
07:25:07
<Kevin L> We did get the daughter moved. That is waht really counted.
07:25:18
<Kevin L> Rained all day, but it wasn't snow.
07:25:26
<Dave from B> I'm back
07:26:20
<AndrewW> turban?
07:26:49
<Micah K> If that's turban, that's HUGE.
07:27:17
<AndrewW> thats hyge
07:27:23
<Will B> I think that is Oblong
07:27:32
<vw> 4 hours since last Oblong.
07:28:03
<AndrewW> short but possible
07:28:33
<AndrewW> exactly 4 hours too
07:29:11
<Micah K> oblong can go anywhere from 3-8 rigth?
07:29:14
<Micah K> right*
07:29:31
<AndrewW> grand now perhapsburg
07:34:00
<AndrewW> sawmill?
07:36:08
<Micah K> looks like it.
07:47:43
<AndrewW> bbl]
07:53:52
<Graham> hello all, now back at the wrong end of the cam
07:54:04
<Micah K> Welcome Back Graham!
07:54:26
<Graham> I know Oblong had an interval under 5h last week, maybe as short as 4
07:54:57
<Dave from B> Hi, Graham
07:55:20
<Dave from B> You need to find a way to work from OF
07:56:10
<Maureen> Hey Graham. did the ice storm happen there?
07:56:51
<Graham> there was some ice this morning, slipery in the neighborhood but they had salted the main roads heavily
07:57:03
<Graham> how is your snow?
07:57:18
<Maureen> sugary again, the snow
07:57:24
<Maureen> a few more inches
07:57:42
<Maureen> why are you home from work already?
07:58:09
<Graham> i couldn't take it any more
07:58:22
<Maureen> HA!
07:59:03
<Maureen> noon to 4 was too much for you?
07:59:04
<Dave from B> Don't want to work too much on your first day back
07:59:30
<Dave from B> Maureen, he's probably depressed from leaving OF
07:59:32
<Graham> 0930-1445 please :)
08:00:12
<Kevin L> I like my schedule better.
08:00:31
<Maureen> I thought you said they delayed opening because of the storm...?
08:00:31
<Dave from B> You need a light schedule, Kevin.....
08:00:41
<Dave from B> Aren't you a part-time plumber?:)
08:01:29
<Kevin L> Full time lately. Also auto mechanic.
08:01:50
<Graham> feds were delayed but I am not a fed
08:02:10
<Dave from B> Good thing you are a jack of all trades, Kevin. Saves you money in the long run
08:08:54
<Kevin L> Called survival Dave.
08:12:07
<vw - away> Grand ?
08:12:10
<Dave from B> Yep...repairmen can really eat into the pocketbook
08:12:28
<Kevin L> Looks like Grand.
08:12:39
<Dave from B> Winds look strong
08:12:46
<vw - away> Thought I saw water, but haven't been paying much attention.
08:12:53
<vw - away> Hi Graham! Welcome back.
08:13:01
<Dave from B> Yep...that's Grand
08:13:02
<Micah K> Spikes! Grand 1513 ie
08:13:03
<vw - away> Grand was 1511 ie
08:13:06
<Kevin L> I was looking at it, but it is difficult to tell.
08:13:08
<Maureen> very close to the predicted time
08:13:08
<Graham> hey vw
08:13:16
<Dave from B> Thanks for the time, vw
08:13:43
<Graham> was nice to get 2 Grands a day (except one day)
08:13:46
<vw - away> I was relieved to hear from Maureen that you AND your luggage arrived safely.
08:14:19
<Graham> yeah i was wondering when i missed the connection in Denver
08:14:33
<vw - away> Todd and Lori had a long wait at Grand. They will be relieved to get moving!
08:14:58
<vw - away> But G, you didn't have any problems making the later connection?
08:14:59
<Kevin L> Wind must have picked up. Last listed as NW 3 G 6
08:15:13
<Graham> when was Grand this morning?
08:15:27
<vw - away> We don't know. Didn't see it and no E time posted.
08:15:28
<Kevin L> Lion ie 1515
08:15:45
<Micah K> that would be an initial right Kevin?
08:16:12
<Maureen> maybe better cam viewing than grand
08:16:23
<Maureen> we do not have the E time G, for Grand this morning
08:16:31
<Maureen> only a prediction of 1525
08:16:49
<Graham> ok, so still in first half of the window
08:16:55
<Kevin L> I am assuming an initial on Lion.
08:17:43
<Graham> No vw, BZN to DEN flight was 50min late which left me 1h40 for the next flight from DEN to DC
08:18:19
<Graham> lucked out, empty seat next to me too
08:18:40
<vw - away> Pipes frozen when you got home?
08:18:58
<Maureen> 2nd?
08:19:06
<vw - away> Beautiful!
08:19:09
<Maureen> nice
08:19:11
<Kevin L> yep
08:19:27
<Graham> no water or heating problems, i was happy about that
08:19:29
<Micah K> wow, that was up and down quick.
08:19:30
<Maureen> wind really picked up
08:19:38
<Kevin L> 100' tall 3 miles long....
08:19:48
<Maureen> hope T & L are not frozen
08:19:55
<Graham> so the 1150 Turban was Turban and Vent ie?
08:19:58
<Maureen> 3rd?
08:20:21
<Maureen> No that was Micah...not sure what that was
08:20:34
<Maureen> or was that T & L?
08:20:34
<Kevin L> yes
08:20:38
<Maureen> Not sure what it was
08:20:43
<Micah K> Wahoo!
08:20:51
<Maureen> 3rd
08:20:58
<Graham> vw entered it from Todd
08:21:13
<vw - away> 1150 was just Turban.
08:21:17
<Maureen> I have wondered what it was
08:21:33
<Micah K> What the heck, I added a turban earlier and someone deleted, that's three of my entries that have been deleted from there. What gives?
08:21:40
<Maureen> what a good first grand for them, 3 bursts
08:21:45
<Graham> yeah, low pool Turban
08:22:13
<Maureen> 11 minutes now
08:22:19
<Micah K> 4?
08:22:35
<Maureen> T & L will have to scoop us
08:22:39
<Micah K> That might have been 4 right there.
08:22:49
<Dave from B> I bet Grand was worth the long wait
08:23:11
<Kevin L> I think it is a long 3 but we will see.
08:23:25
<Maureen> vw, get the scoop!
08:24:12
<vw - away> texting now.
08:24:55
<Maureen> G, did you see BH this morning before work?
08:25:21
<Graham> nope, didnt get online
08:25:38
<Kevin L> Whatever it was, I liked it.
08:25:40
<Graham> i was work then anyway
08:25:52
<Kevin L> Work?
08:25:54
<Maureen> oh right, I forget about the time dif
08:27:13
<Graham> yeah Kevin, its a curable disease
08:27:14
<vw - away> 3 bursts. They saw 9 Turbans. Long wait!
08:27:57
<Hawkeye> definitely
08:28:01
<Hawkeye> good for them though!
08:29:18
<Maureen> glad their wait was rewarded with a 3 burst Grand!
08:29:21
<Graham> thay having fun?
08:29:53
<vw - away> I think so. Might be a bit cold right now though!
08:30:24
<vw - away> they loved seeing the snowman. Caught BH from OF bw this am.
08:30:26
<Graham> i see it cooled off, like last weekend only snowy
08:35:19
<Dave from B> Have a good evening everyone. Time to get out of Dodge.
08:35:41
<Kevin L> of 1535
08:35:45
<Hawkeye> nice lighting
08:35:45
<Kevin L> bye
08:36:10
<Dave from B> nice eruption with darker gray clouds
08:36:36
<Graham> how is frosty today?
08:37:01
<Kevin L> Where is frosty and I will check when OF is done.
08:37:28
<Graham> on the BW in front of the cam
08:38:58
<vw - away> K, on OF preset, it is in the extreme lower right corner.
08:40:37
<Graham> nice snow work
08:40:46
<vw - away> Sweet!
08:40:49
<Micah K> so cool
08:40:53
<Hawkeye> great lighting this time
08:41:00
<vw - away> Kudo's and thanks to steve.
08:41:02
<Hawkeye> dad said it had a smiley face
08:41:09
<Kevin L> I love it!
08:41:20
<Micah K> Steve went all out for us.
08:41:26
<Graham> not a gazer tho, its facing the cam
08:41:52
<vw - away> We were hoping it might stimulate the growth of additional snow people...
08:42:19
<Graham> no Aurum report today? sigh
08:43:12
<Micah K> No Anemone's either. I feel your pain.
08:43:44
<Graham> well what have you been doing all day?
08:44:16
<Micah K> watching pretty much everything BUT anemone because OF's being selfish again.
08:44:29
<Micah K> I did catch Little Squirt ie this morning though.
08:48:21
<Kevin L> Hard to see anything in that area with OF steam today.
08:48:30
<Micah K> thank you for taking time to watch the A's for a bit thought Graham. That means a lot to me.
08:48:43
<Micah K> thought=though
08:49:06
<Graham> yw, got a bit of spare time. hard to take many notes in winter tho, don't want fingers getting too cold
08:49:55
<Micah K> no problem. what details you did get are very interesting to me, because they hinted that Anemone is behaving slightly differently than before.
08:50:28
<Graham> k, got the short Little eruptions when they happened cjust after Big
08:51:10
<Micah K> yeah, that stayed the same pretty much, the big thing to me was that Big's durations were shorter by an average of 5-10 seconds of over labor day week.
08:51:19
<Micah K> which is a lot for Anemone.
08:51:47
<Graham> ah, ok
08:54:44
<Hawkeye> time to head out. errands and grocery shopping tonight, probably won't be on unless Todd updates me.
08:55:34
<Graham> bye Hawkeye
08:55:44
<Graham> guess its time for me to start my "other job"
08:55:48
<Micah K> bye Hawk.
08:57:37
<Kevin L> Should get a lion before too long.
08:58:45
<Graham> was that Aurum
09:00:15
<Kevin L> I don't think so. With the steam today I think it would have had a bigger cloud.
09:00:27
<Micah K> Sawmill 1600 ie
09:08:47
<Graham> have to teach Todd and Laurie the prediction formula based on how much splashing or steam huffing its doing
09:09:12
<Maureen> Lori
09:09:29
<Maureen> what is your other job?
09:09:40
<Graham> cam op
09:09:52
<Graham> oops sorry Lori
09:11:29
<vw - away> Todd and Lori are probably at Lion. Lori really wanted to catch the start of a Lion.
09:12:54
<vw - away> They might be cold though. They had a long sit at Grand!
09:21:55
<Graham> Lion 1621
09:22:31
<kc (working)> wb Graham
09:22:41
<Graham> thanks kc
09:30:35
<Micah K> Weird, I haven't seen sprinkler all day. It's hard to tell if it's going now.
09:33:19
<Micah K> Sprinkler ns 1633
09:34:59
<Kevin L> Firecam is impressive right now
09:35:36
<Micah K> whoa.
09:35:52
<Graham> guess i should have been at the Caps game yesterday kc ... :)
09:36:15
<Micah K> I count 8 bison.
09:36:26
<Kevin L> Doggies are back for their frozen dinners.
09:42:52
<Graham> OT 1642ie?
09:43:46
<Graham> looks like it
09:47:14
<kc (working)> both our teams look el stinko so far
09:50:01
<Graham> yep, not a good start. Thinking I should stay away so they have a chance to win some games
09:50:50
<kc (working)> your theory didnt work this last week or so, must only be applicable when playing buf
09:51:23
<Graham> well there was no way I could be there yesterday since I was flying home
09:52:58
<kc (working)> better yesterday than today, we're getting a lot of snow today
09:55:24
<Graham> was nice and warm yesterday, got some Ranger IPA
10:02:00
<Graham> OF 1701ns
10:03:04
<Kevin L> Nice vec shot
10:09:23
<Graham> Daisy 1709ns
10:10:12
<Graham> hum, guess it was just a blend of Daisy and Sawmill steam
10:10:28
<Kevin L> Daisy minor?
10:10:40
<kc (working)> coyote walked by
10:11:38
<Graham> how about 1711
10:11:46
<Kevin L> Now that looks like Daisy.
10:12:10
<Graham> where was it kc,?
10:12:16
<Graham> might try to find it next
10:13:47
<AndrewW> howdy
10:14:00
<kc (working)> went behind split coe, left to right
10:14:07
<kc (working)> *cone
10:16:08
<Graham> k, chances of finding it again are close to zero
10:16:23
<Micah K> Lion roar
10:16:26
<AndrewW> lion 1716
10:16:48

10:17:15
<AndrewW> I was hoping I wasn't going to do an af
10:17:47
<AndrewW> nice one
10:17:54
<Micah K> very nice.
10:24:27

<Micah K> 1724
10:25:35
<AndrewW> this is early kc
10:25:48
<kcmule> yeah screw work
10:25:58
<kcmule> oops sorry, family forum..
10:27:24
<kcmule> castle more fun to look at than bug reports
10:27:42
<Micah K> If only we could see the cone...
10:27:45
<Micah K> wb Will.
10:27:48
<AndrewW> what is it you do exactly?
10:28:19
<kcmule> network engineering
10:28:40
<Will B> is it just me or is the streaming chopy right now
10:28:50
<Micah K> good on my end
10:28:54
<AndrewW> fine on my end
10:29:48
<kcmule> if castle minors u can blame the network
10:29:54
<ynpvisitor57> nice
10:30:21
<Maureen> was thinking there were no geysers left...
10:31:17
<Graham> Castle must have minored sometime in the last 2 days, its off-schedule
10:31:32
<Maureen> it is not nice out here. 17 yet with wind feels below zero. Brutal.
10:31:48
<Maureen> well, we know that is probable
10:32:02
<Maureen> did you catch a Castle up close G?
10:32:34
<Graham> sorry to hear that weather Maureen, gonna be 60s here tomorrow :)
10:32:38
<Maureen> And Micah, I vote taking out the trees that interfere with our view of Castle
10:32:58
<Graham> Actually I dont think Castle had a minor all week i was there. Yes did see one up close
10:33:28
<Maureen> yeah, I meant if it was OFF schedule, probable a minor occured
10:33:36
<Maureen> glad you saw one up close
10:33:55
<Maureen> and wish I were there in 60's, then here in teens with WIND
10:33:55
<Micah K> Alright, Maureen, your the one that gets to propose that to NPS :p
10:33:57
<Maureen> nice
10:34:00
<Micah K> you're
10:34:10
<Maureen> Monkey wrench it.
10:34:31
<kcmule> they knocked down trees to get view of yosemite falls improved, so not unprecedented
10:34:39
<Maureen> Does that reference mean anything to you Micah?
10:35:08
<Micah K> I've heard the term before but I can place it.
10:35:15
<Maureen> yeah, as the web world takes over, it would provide better access for the millions looking in from all over the world
10:35:28
<Maureen> and the trees hold no real purpose there
10:35:41
<Maureen> not like it is a huge wind block or anything
10:35:47
<Maureen> there are plenty of trees
10:35:53
<kcmule> id settle for a downbasin streaming cam ;)
10:36:06
<Micah K> Heck, Id settle for a streaming cam off observation point.
10:36:11
<Maureen> Castle could be up close and personal like Beehive
10:36:27
<Maureen> that would be fun Micah.
10:36:28
<vw - away> Have to head out. Hope everybody has a great evening!
10:36:34
<Micah K> bye vw!
10:36:40
<Maureen> bye
10:36:44
<Maureen> glad we could see today
10:36:46
<kcmule> bye vw, thx for helping to cover yesterday
10:38:13
<Graham> Trying to decide if the tree on the bisons head is growing there or a bit that broke off and got stuck ...
10:38:45
<Maureen> is there a bison with tree stuck on it?
10:39:18
<Maureen> to what reference is that?
10:39:25
<Graham> looks like it from my photo
10:39:32
<Maureen> wow, will we have photos soon?
10:39:37
<Maureen> it just dawned on me...
10:39:44
<Graham> oh, i read the YTG post about the spring at Ftn, i have similar photos

10:41:35
<Graham> beyond Twig
10:41:36
<Maureen> fun
10:41:37
<Micah K> are you going to make an album?
10:41:40
<Graham> not new, but improved
10:41:51
<Graham> I will make an album or two later
10:41:55
<Maureen> well it has water now
10:42:12

10:42:32
<Maureen> he he
10:42:47
<Micah K> that's amazing.
10:42:53
<Graham> hopefully cut it down below 800
10:42:56
<Maureen> not in the digital world
10:43:18
<Maureen> did you get one of your missing bag's arrival to OF?
10:43:47
<Graham> Castle is a Major BTW
10:43:47
<Maureen> cold. Todd and Lori are prepared though
10:44:14
<Graham> no i didnt Maureen, should have taken a shot of it in my room by the sink :)
10:44:38
<Graham> bellhop put it there
10:45:54
<Maureen> it magically appeared...
10:46:11
<Maureen> lost in the United wilderness, it finds its owner
10:46:36
<Graham> pretty sure it was just sitting in Denver howling
10:46:42
<Maureen> wonder if it saw any cool wildlife on its way to you? He he
10:46:44
<Micah K> haha, it's like one of those dogs that travels across country to find it's owner
10:47:02
<Maureen> or not howling, as it took them long enough to locate it.
10:47:55
<Maureen> Well, this is a good way to view the basin on an evening like this
10:48:18
<Maureen> I wish Todd and Lori a warm night at Snow Lodge and maybe the moon will come out a bit
10:49:20
<Graham> just found a series of 22 shots of Mouth
10:49:37
<Graham> probably reduce to 2
10:50:48
<Graham> for some reason i have a lot of Churn pics
10:51:11
<Will B> hmm I wonder why
10:52:20
<Maureen> hmmm wonder why so many Churn pics?
10:52:32
<Maureen> what was the unexpected dual of?
10:52:38
<Maureen> on FB
10:52:52
<Will B> Penta and Churn
10:53:08

10:53:10
<Graham> yep
10:53:25
<Maureen> nice shot
10:53:43
<Maureen> the wolf ones are so fun. I am so glad you had that experience
10:54:17
<Will B> So I have a friend that is going in on presidents weekend and I told him to build another snowman for us
10:54:22
<Maureen> I bet they can cover some ground on the road

<Maureen> I can see it though as I know where to look
10:57:31

<Will B> http://youtu.be/LKkSW1JwcTE
10:59:08
<Maureen> He did not take a photo during that video
10:59:10
<Graham> wolves were running pretty fast, we followed them round several bends N of Biscuit keeping up with them but not able to stop and photo them
10:59:37
