05:01:16
<David A pdx> Good Morning Geyser Gazers!
05:02:02
<Jimbo Barium> Good morning
05:02:16
<Betty> morning David A pdx and Jimbo Barium
05:03:09
<David A pdx> I see BH was earlier this morning.
05:03:43
<Betty> yup
05:04:48
<David A pdx> I was able to enjoy yesterday afternoon's show while doing some research in the State Archives in Salem!
05:05:07
<David A pdx> what's the geyser along river - to left of pine tree?
05:05:25
<David A pdx> left side of view
05:05:34
<Betty> That is Sprinkler
05:05:59
<David A pdx> cool. it's going, right?
05:06:17
<Betty> yes
05:06:27
<David A pdx> cool!
05:14:09
<Betty> Daisy
05:36:35
<David A pdx> Riverside ?
05:37:21
<David A pdx> at least there is a lot of steam from that area.
05:40:34
<Betty> yes, Riverside
05:41:18
<Betty> or maybe not. A bit too far left I think
05:41:36
<Betty> not really sure about it
05:42:09
<David A pdx> i think you are right - it not being Riverside.
05:42:41
<Betty> not much wing behind the trees...
05:42:43
<David A pdx> it should be closer to the little hill with the tree
05:43:23
<David A pdx> hhmmm F&M then?
05:44:27
<Betty> F&M were repertded less than 2 days.
05:45:00
<Betty> I think they could have these short intervals
06:06:37
<Kevin L> Aurum?
06:07:15
<Betty> unusual, but possible :-D
06:07:30
<Betty> morning Kevin
06:08:22
<Kevin L> Morning. It was Aurum. Was also on static.
06:09:17
<Betty> great, good timing for you :-D
06:09:41
<Kevin L> What is really unusual it I saw it!
06:20:01
<Betty> OF
07:19:35
<Art> How long has there Grotto been going for?
07:21:32
<David A pdx> there are no observations of SC going off since 20 April. overlooked?
07:26:15
<Betty> don´t know how long Grotto is going.I have an eye on SC whenever I´m on, but I did not see it since then
07:30:37
<Art> Thanks
07:31:19
<David A pdx> TY Betty! I try and keep an eye on SC too - just because it's there!
07:33:27
<Betty> I think Grotto is on for quite a while, but I don´t remember when it started.

<Eric> Looks like we are going to have a beautiful weekend
08:51:08
<David A pdx> Looks like it! cooler on Sunday though
08:55:31
<Eric> You guys get your boat inaugurated?
08:59:17
<David A pdx> not yet.
08:59:30
<David A pdx> unveiling is supposed to be on 26th...
09:00:01

09:01:41
<David A pdx> that's a link to a recent photo. the mast/sail still need to be completed, and it still needs to be coated.
09:03:15
<David A pdx> Nice puff out of Lion!
09:03:33
<Eric> Lion
09:03:40
<David A pdx> thar she blows!
09:04:19
<Eric> She is looking Great David
09:04:39
<David A pdx> thanks. it is a beaut!
09:04:57
<Eric> I looked through a lot of your pictures a few weeks ago...so much work :-D
09:05:12
<David A pdx> it's been a fun project!
09:05:39
<Kevin L> Amazing what you can do with dead trees!
09:07:43
<David A pdx> LOL!
09:09:03
<David A pdx> I"m starting on a model of my own, but am trying to use only non-power tools. I may give up on that idea though (of limiting myself to non-power tools).
09:09:44
<David A pdx> i should be out there right now working on it!
09:10:18
<David A pdx> it'll be about 1.5' long or so. pretty small.
09:13:05
<Kevin L> You aren't building it in your basement are you?
09:13:54
<David A pdx> outside! it's just a small model - for when I want to do a bigger one!
09:14:35
<David A pdx> probably under 2 feet long.
09:14:52
<David A pdx> anyway, i'm going to sign off for now. TTYL
09:15:03
<Kevin L> Have fun.
09:15:12
<David A pdx> oh yeah!
09:17:37
<Eric> dome
09:18:55
<ynpvisitor58> yuk
09:50:21
<ynpvisitor84> .
10:27:20
<ynpvisitor84> .
10:42:20
<AGtheWildcat> So a conspiracy theorist will be waving at the cam soon in order to prove that it's actually a recording and not an actual live stream. What a bunch of maniacs....
10:43:09
<Kevin L> :)
10:43:32
<AGtheWildcat> Driver you should move the camera up and down and side to side around him to prove them wrong. It would be amazing.
10:44:48
<AGtheWildcat> He will be wearing a black jacket and motercyle helmet. supposedly.
10:45:36
<ynpvisitor100> seriously??
10:47:18
<Eric> Technically it is a recording :-)
10:47:40
<Eric> With about a 5 second delay
10:48:11
<Eric> So they have time to erase any UFO sightings!
10:48:37
<Eric> or aliens probing the holes.
10:48:43
<Kevin L> Is he bigfoot?
10:49:08
<Eric> This is actually video footage of the moon...recorded in the future.
10:49:47
<Kevin L> He will probably go to the static cam thinking it is the streaming cam.
10:50:03
<Eric> There is no cam
10:50:11
<Eric> it's all an illusion
10:51:20
<ynpvisitor84> Only the person's iq is illusory.
10:55:01
<Eric> OF
11:03:48
<Kevin L> That Raven was an alien from the planet Crowzon.
11:03:51
<ynpvisitor3> It would be pretty funny if you captured him waving at the wrong cam!
11:10:59
<Eric> grotto area steam
11:13:18
<ynpvisitor94> Dog on t
11:13:44
<ynpvisitor94> dog on Geyser Hill
11:13:55
<Eric> could be a service animal
11:14:04
<Eric> They are allowed with permit
11:14:24
<ynpvisitor94> Janet White here and forgot my radio _
11:14:41
<Eric> ohh, no permit
11:14:44
<ynpvisitor94> Janet White here
11:14:46
<Eric> Thanks Janet
11:15:19
<ynpvisitor94> forgot my radio can someone let the VEC know?
11:16:09
<ynpvisitor94> Didn't see A jacket on it. But am headed that way
11:16:54
<Eric> near BH?
11:17:10
<ynpvisitor94> Yes
11:17:18
<Eric> calling
11:18:05
<ynpvisitor94> Thanks
11:19:17
<ynpvisitor94> Coyote by Dome
11:21:18
<Eric> reported
11:22:26
<ynpvisitor84> Maybe the vec sent the coyote to deal with the dog?
11:22:41
<ynpvisitor94> Service dog for seizures
11:22:58
<Eric> ok...so cancel the report?
11:23:44
<ynpvisitor84> Is the dog properly wearing a vest?
11:24:39
<ynpvisitor94> Not sure if it went through but it is a service dog
11:24:44
<ynpvisitor100> it doesn't have to have a vest
11:25:00
<Eric> ok...I will report back to VEC
11:25:28
<ynpvisitor94> Thanks
11:26:04
<Eric> Grand
11:26:31
<Jimbo Barium> indeed
11:27:05
<ynpvisitor100> how can you forget your radio Janet, LOL
11:27:14
<Eric> VEC has been alerted that it is a service animal.
11:28:38
<ynpvisitor94> Wasn't planning on coming in this far
11:28:55
<ynpvisitor42> Was the dog wearing a leather jacket and a motorcycle helmet?
11:29:00
<Eric> haha
11:29:23
<ynpvisitor93> biker boots?
11:34:53
<Eric> time to slow down grand :-)
11:35:26
<Eric> Guess not :-(
11:36:49
<Eric> well, 1 and done
11:36:58
<ynpvisitor100> Did AGtheWildcat read that on the GOSA channel?
11:37:09
<Eric> No idea
11:37:21
<Eric> didn't link their source
11:37:49
<Eric> out...bbl
11:58:04
<ynpvisitor84> .
12:07:37
<ynpvisitor100> ..
12:29:19
<Brian> pretty good sized crowd out there today
12:33:19
<Andrew> hi
12:33:54
<Brian> hi Andrew
12:58:26
<AGtheWildcat> ynpvisitor100 no I didn't read it on the GOSA channel. I read while doing my rounds of debunking all of the conspiracy videos out there and stirring up the beehive.
13:03:58
<ynpvisitor84> Sadly, all the guy needs to do is not show up but say he was there. Disproving a negative is hard to do.
13:04:45
<AGtheWildcat> He showed up. And now there's a big fuss about how the camera is delayed by 2-3 minutes, They always find something.
13:05:18
<kc (working)> you are giving them the attention they crave, just my humble opinion AG
13:05:25
<AGtheWildcat> Big whoop, 2-3 minutes, maybe the person's connection would better if they climbed out of their underground bunker.
13:05:43
<ynpvisitor84> Agree, kc.
13:06:40
<ynpvisitor18> wow, it looks like fire season in August, not early May
13:06:45
<AGtheWildcat> If it were just them. I would agree, but the fact that they're spreading fear and misinformation is wrong.
13:08:21
<ynpvisitor67> Hey, I feel safe in my bunker with my helmet on.
13:08:46
<AGtheWildcat> lol
13:09:38
<ynpvisitor84> If he scares a few people into staying away from ynp, i say no harm no foul.
13:09:48
<AGtheWildcat> fair point.
13:09:50
<AGtheWildcat> Castle
13:09:56
<AGtheWildcat> Or super volcano?
13:09:59
<AGtheWildcat> YOU DECIDE
13:10:17
<Andrew> reinforcements?
13:10:24
<Andrew> ...or refreshments?
13:11:03
<ynpvisitor18> has it been this smoky all day?
13:12:13
<ynpvisitor84> Smoky most of the day. From Alberta wildfire.
13:13:13
<ynpvisitor18> there are 41 fires burning in Alberta right now
13:22:56
<ynpvisitor96> I thought it was just cold and overcast. Has the GYA been getting a lot of smoke from Alberta?
13:25:39
<Eric> I see no indication this overcast sky has anything to do with smoke.
13:26:20
<ynpvisitor18> it is totally from smoke
13:26:35
<ynpvisitor84> Maureen left a comment in Fountain entry on gt that there is "smake from Canada in the basin today."
13:26:38
<ynpvisitor18> there are some clouds out there, yet it is SMOKY in Yellowstone today
13:27:05
<ynpvisitor18> MA posted on FB that she has NO VIEW and it feels like autumn fire weather
13:27:09
<Eric> hmm, can't find any satelite data to support that
13:27:32
<ynpvisitor18> eyes burning is always a tell
13:27:48
<ynpvisitor84> Smoke won't always show until night time.
13:27:50
<Eric> Winds can change faster than satelite data :-)
13:28:18
<ynpvisitor84> Most of MT has some air quality problems today.
13:28:27
<Eric> https://airnow.gov/index.cfm?action=topics.smoke_wildfires
13:28:36
<Brian> Also, widespread dispersed smoke doesn't necessarily look like a smoke plume
13:29:19
<ynpvisitor18> just a massive haze
13:29:39
<ynpvisitor18> that map is definitely not correct if it is too show smoke areas
13:30:35
<ynpvisitor67> Story on Public Radio that the Canadian fires are creating thunder storms with lightning that are sparking more fires.
13:31:14
<Eric> Seems to mirror other satellite data I have seen...maybe shifts in winds have caused a more southerly flow.
13:32:01
<ynpvisitor18> I cannot explain why it does not show up, yet it is there
13:34:37
<Eric> I would thnk the alberta firest would have a hard time getting past the jetstream
13:36:34
<Brian> NWS has a Special Weather Statement for the GYA talking about the Alberta smoke.
13:36:54
<Eric> Thanks Brian
13:37:12
<Brian> good news is they also have a winter storm warning out...nothing like some precip to kill the smoke
13:38:14
<Eric> Ya, guess satellite imagery has not caught up with the fast shifting winds. Wouldn't want to be on that fire crew!
13:40:04
<Brian> I think the reason the smoke is coming south has to do with the large low pressure region sitting over the Great Basin the last couple of days...it's been driving a lot of weather in the last few days
13:40:12
<ynpvisitor18> unfortunately the storm warning is not for where the fires are
13:44:32
<ynpvisitor18> it was 88 in Fort McMurray, that must have been so intense
13:45:41
<Brian> yeah, I was just doing some surfing looking at the pics of the fire area...hard to believe that it is still early May
13:46:01
<Brian> the photos of the evac convoy are scary stuff
13:47:16
<Eric> That town got toasted: http://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-36224767
13:49:04
<ynpvisitor18> yikes, comments say evacuation had to be halted because of 200 ft flames near roadway
13:49:52
<Brian> the thing is, it is way more than a town...it's a metro area with a pop similar to Idaho Falls
13:50:22
<Eric> yah, the evacuation stuff is scary...
13:51:56
<ynpvisitor18> they evacuated to the north, which turned out to be a mistake
13:54:44
<Eric> Looks like they saved a lot of their infrastructure though
13:54:53
<ynpvisitor18> that was a good link Eric
13:55:17
<ynpvisitor18> 1600+ homes lost, that is a lot
13:56:00
<Eric> yep, lot's of homes lost and it's going to take a long time to recover...but if the infrastructure water/sewer/electricity is gone...it would take a lot longer.
13:56:43
<Eric> Apparently the core of the city stayed pretty intact
13:57:40
<ynpvisitor18> the fire is impacting other cities now
13:58:20
<Eric> a lot of wildlife is being killed too
14:04:07
<ynpvisitor97> That is also an area that is difficult to get supplies to. Roads get buried in snow a lot of the year.
14:23:08
<Kevin L> Is that Daisy or the supervolcano starting?
14:23:34
<Betty> the end is near...
14:25:15
<Eric> Watch for SC to blow!
14:28:46
<Betty> it would be a great weekend for Giantess to go. Dave is busy with soccer
14:30:00
<Betty> BH is heating up for the evening show
14:32:38
<David A pdx> what are people smoking?!?! LOL
14:33:10
<David A pdx> how's everyone doing this afternoon/evening?
14:33:19
<Andrew> deece
14:37:42
<ynpvisitor100> how many days andrew?
14:39:42
<Andrew> 3 weeks
14:39:51
<Andrew> plus 3 days
14:39:56
<Andrew> so 24 days
14:41:09
<ynpvisitor97> That is only 18 hexadecimal.
14:42:02
<Eric> or 11000 in binary
14:42:15
<Andrew> its also 18 in base 16
14:42:22
<Andrew> i think
14:44:43
<Eric> hmmm, bummer 24 is also CANCEL in ASCII
14:49:00
