06:19:23 <Eric> Morning
06:19:43 <ynpvisitor66> 7 hr 47 m Grand interval! Dave did break it!!
06:19:53 <Eric> What?!?!
06:20:13 <ynpvisitor66> He was out there, look at GT
06:20:36 <ynpvisitor66> That is crazy
06:21:58 <ynpvisitor66> They just had a 31m Turban.
06:22:47 <Eric> Wow...Dave killed the short Grand intervals :-(
06:23:16 <ynpvisitor66> Big plume down basin
06:23:28 <Eric> him or heinrich :-D
06:23:39 <Eric> I assume that is still Grotto
06:23:47 <ynpvisitor66> Ha, blame it on HK
06:24:49 <ynpvisitor66> That made a late night for Dave
06:25:12 <ynpvisitor66> Midnight Grand became much later
06:25:20 <Eric> At least he only had to walk to the inn
06:27:29 <Eric> So this last Turban was marked as D1, even though it was only 19 minutes
06:28:03 <ynpvisitor66> Because of the 31 m one, that was D0
06:28:27 <Eric> Ahh, so it's just a countdown from that...got it
06:28:33 <Eric> or count up :-D
06:28:50 <ynpvisitor66> Yes, hopefully not a D5 coming up
06:29:08 <ynpvisitor66> Or D13 as I once experienced
06:29:39 <Eric> eek, I hope not too
06:30:07 <Eric> wonder if Kevin is down there at grand :-D
06:30:52 <Eric> Betty too
06:31:13 <Eric> should be the whole crew
06:32:50 <ynpvisitor66> Does Betty get in this early?
06:33:18 <Eric> I thought she was already there.
06:33:21 <ynpvisitor66> I hope she had the sunset BH last night. Dave missed it.
06:33:38 <ynpvisitor66> She drives from West
06:34:36 <ynpvisitor66> I saw video of a road in Oregon already in eclipse gridlock
06:34:54 <Eric> eek...guess not, she was posting WC GT posts at that time :-(
06:35:01 <ynpvisitor66> Campgrounds in WY already overflowing
06:35:14 <Eric> don't doubt it
06:36:29 <Eric> Roads are pretty empty here right now
06:36:54 <Eric> 16m turban
06:37:14 <ynpvisitor66> Are you close to the path of totality?
06:38:17 <Eric> I am near portland, OR which is like at 98%, but will be heading south to be in the center of totality.
06:38:45 <Eric> Grand
06:38:56 <Eric> ok...that is weird
06:39:06 <Eric> 4 minutes after turban
06:40:17 <Joe> Dave is there, expect the unexpected!
06:40:53 <Eric> So that was a better interval at 6:40
06:41:37 <ynpvisitor17> question - during totality how dark does it actually get?
06:41:48 <ynpvisitor66> Dark
06:41:55 <Eric> Like night
06:44:46 <ynpvisitor66> Looks like a very steamy Grand
06:46:45 <Eric> We aren't in nps window yet :-P
06:46:51 <Eric> 8m on grand
06:47:16 <Eric> ignore the GT prediction
06:48:52 <Eric> 10m
06:53:59 <ynpvisitor78> fluffy
07:12:36 <ynpvisitor66> Eric, when will you drive south? Are you concerned about gridlock?
07:13:24 <ynpvisitor66> Portland had a lot of people...
07:13:33 <ynpvisitor66> Has
07:14:42 <ynpvisitor17> I just saw on FB that one of the ORegon fires is in the area of totality
07:14:47 <ynpvisitor17> don't go there. :)
07:17:06 <ynpvisitor66> It's Prineville that already had gridlock
07:17:59 <ynpvisitor66> The forecast maps are not including smoke hazards
07:45:49 <Joe> Daisy
07:47:13 <ynpvisitor999> hello everyone
07:47:44 <Joe> Hello DGInc
07:49:12 <ynpvisitor999> Dome is active again
07:50:29 <ynpvisitor999> anyway, back to the 1992 log
08:32:27 <Joe> OF
08:41:17 <ynpvisitor5> Time for BH.
08:41:35 <ynpvisitor5> Haw many Grands has Dave got t see?
09:05:22 <ynpvisitor20> Betty and Kevin are at Depression.
09:07:58 <ynpvisitor20> BHI
09:08:00 <ynpvisitor20> .
09:08:01 <ynpvisitor20> .
09:08:01 <ynpvisitor20> .
09:08:02 <ynpvisitor20> .
09:10:34 <ynpvisitor999> yay
09:13:00 <ynpvisitor5> See i told you it was time for BH.
09:13:10 <ynpvisitor999> :)
09:14:06 <ynpvisitor999> quite the crowd at BH
09:14:14 <Casey> Thanks for making noise
09:14:40 <ynpvisitor999> no text has been sent yet
09:14:49 <ynpvisitor5> I think it is just Kevin's family
09:15:52 <ynpvisitor20> All the text senders are in the Park?
09:16:26 <ynpvisitor5> What is a text?
09:21:51 <ynpvisitor5> I do not see Kevin. I thought he was supposed to be dressed like elvis or have a big cheese hat on or something.
09:22:23 <ynpvisitor999> !?
09:22:56 <ynpvisitor5> lots of false weeees
09:23:07 <ynpvisitor999> yup
09:23:16 <ynpvisitor999> it'll go, eventually
09:23:28 <ynpvisitor5> BH must be watching OF.
09:23:34 <ynpvisitor999> boom!
09:24:01 <ynpvisitor999> LC
09:24:12 <Eric> woot
09:26:18 <ynpvisitor5> LC is putting on quite a show.
09:26:23 <Eric> BW at capacity!
09:26:30 <ynpvisitor999> bye Indy
09:27:35 <Eric> I assume plume corner is packed as well
09:28:00 <ynpvisitor48> Now if only F&M would erupt for Dave
09:28:14 <Eric> Monday...
09:28:30 <ynpvisitor5> In the near dark
09:28:45 <Eric> Late at night so he gets no sleep before his 3am departure to GT :-P
09:28:53 <ynpvisitor999> you were right, Eric
09:29:15 <ynpvisitor5> PWoplw at Plume need to all jump up and down to make it work
09:29:31 <ynpvisitor5> Well that was fun, enjoy people watching.
09:29:34 <ynpvisitor48> It's his anniversary so I am guessing he will not be at a late night F&M
09:29:49 <ynpvisitor999> PWoplw -ynpvisitor5, 19th of August 2017
09:29:56 <ynpvisitor5> He is old, and wants a 5 grand day
09:30:02 <Eric> Maybe...dinner break and then F&M...whole family is staying with him.
09:30:35 <ynpvisitor48> 5 Grands are so not happening !!
09:30:39 <Eric> Well, he broke Grand so don't think he is getting htat
09:31:06 <ynpvisitor48> He took care of that first thing!
09:31:11 <Eric> actually HK broke grand I think.
09:31:19 <ynpvisitor999> I surely don't hope he fixes Cascade, because I think we aren't getting a whole lot of Beehives then
09:31:48 <ynpvisitor48> I would so take Cascade over BH for a bit
09:31:58 <Eric> alright...enjoy the afternoon everyone.
09:32:47 <ynpvisitor999> Although not entirely confirmed yet, Cascade and Beehive may be connected with each other directly.
09:34:21 <ynpvisitor48> Where do you get that from?
09:34:45 <ynpvisitor999> http://www.gosa.org/geyser.aspx?pGeyserNo=CASCADE
09:35:02 <ynpvisitor999> and scroll a bit to the bottom, where its known history is described
09:37:21 <Eric> when cascade was active in 98 did BH go dormant?
09:38:00 <ynpvisitor999> I could have a look in the 1998 OFVCL-EV logs
09:38:58 <Eric> anyway...gotta run.
09:39:20 <ynpvisitor999> first recorded Cascade of 98 is 1/9/1998 Cascade 10:16 ns not first?
09:39:35 <ynpvisitor999> 1016 ns (not first?)
09:40:06 <ynpvisitor999> and when you scroll down, a whole list of Cascades is presented
09:40:52 <ynpvisitor999> intersting to know is that Beehive became much more frequent on the day Cascade started
09:41:36 <ynpvisitor20> According to TSB, BH was a "regular, daily performer: starting in the earlly 70's and into 2005.
09:42:31 <ynpvisitor999> good to know. When Cascade started, BH intervals dropped to ~10-12 h, after which they increased again
09:44:54 <ynpvisitor999> Halfway the 1992 logs, one Cascade is present. Related or not, a few days later false Indicators were reported
09:45:50 <ynpvisitor999> and that continued through most of the year
09:58:16 <Graham> hello, you dtole BH from me
09:58:22 <Graham> stole
09:58:37 <ynpvisitor999> morning/afternoon Graham
09:58:58 <ynpvisitor999> I'm sorry, didn't mean to do that :(
10:12:51 <ynpvisitor12> it's all Dave's fault. Almost 8 hour Grand too
10:13:51 <ynpvisitor12> are we out of view of Daisy? It is due
10:16:27 <ynpvisitor999> thought for a second it was going to do a short
10:16:50 <Graham> looked like it then came back strong
10:17:08 <ynpvisitor12> it was just short (in height) instead
10:17:26 <ynpvisitor999> it does that quite often, but usually not for this long
10:17:34 <Graham> not sure it was short height, looked normal to me
10:18:54 <ynpvisitor12> I wish they had a view of South Gate for this Monday
10:40:04 <ynpvisitor60> What is the camera foucused on?
10:40:29 <Graham> Daisy to Grand area
10:41:55 <ynpvisitor109> Daisy
10:42:05 <ynpvisitor109> Or looks like it
10:42:35 <ynpvisitor109> 1241
10:48:06 <Graham> Dome
11:51:00 <Joe> OF ie
11:51:15 <ynpvisitor999> 1350 based on height
11:52:18 <ynpvisitor999> short
11:54:28 <Graham> dome
12:24:18 <Larry in Denver> For some reason today's chat history won't load. Previous days are OK. Any thoughts?
12:25:40 <Joe> You are right, It just says "loading.."
12:28:41 <Graham> dome
12:41:00 <Graham> grand
12:49:52 <Graham> 2nd
12:50:41 <Joe> That crowd has to have Dave in it.
12:51:29 <ynpvisitor17> #3 for him
12:51:43 <Graham> or not
12:54:35 <Joe> He was hoping for 5 Grands today
12:55:22 <Graham> have not had 5 in 24 hours for a while now
12:55:39 <Graham> dont thinki it did 5 in one day this season
12:55:52 <ynpvisitor17> I meant 3rd Grand. 2 bursts is good!
12:56:44 <Graham> ah, was he there for the early one?
12:57:45 <Joe> I believe he was.
12:57:59 <ynpvisitor33> It's not very readable, but the data from the log is here http://chat.geysertimes.org/log/index2.php?logdate=2017-08-19
12:59:44 <ynpvisitor33> No clue why it's not working for today
13:00:34 <Joe> OF
13:02:27 <Graham> dome
13:14:23 <Graham> Lion
13:14:43 <ynpvisitor63> Ini, or slow start?
13:15:51 <Graham> Ini
13:16:00 <Graham> and slow start
13:22:06 <ynpvisitor63> Eclipse update from Oregon. Seems like people are starting to show up. Still less the a normal summer weekend. Time will tell if it will be as big as they made it out to be.
13:24:30 <ynpvisitor63> Gas prices up 25 to 30%
13:24:36 <ynpvisitor63> Daisy
13:25:19 <Graham> where in OR?
13:25:45 <ynpvisitor63> Central
13:25:54 <Graham> lots of traffic heading S in VA today, of course it is summertime also ...
13:26:19 <Graham> sounds like ID and WY are picking up some people
13:27:28 <ynpvisitor63> car show and brew fest in town, no traffic from that. travelors on the bypass, and locals have been told to expect terrible crowds, so the are staying home.
13:28:45 <Graham> that happens here too, news reports how bad traffic will be so people leave early or dont go. usually not as bad as expected
13:30:28 <Graham> will be interesting tio see how Grand tetons do, they have publicized their prep well
13:32:20 <ynpvisitor63> We have a special incident center set up, extra walk in clinics, and extra air lift helicopters, all setting around waiting. Hope they have good books.
13:34:25 <ynpvisitor63> West entrance, looks like more leaving then entering.
13:36:10 <ynpvisitor63> Looks like a normal crowd for the weekend. But they are self limiting as onl so many places to put people and no sleeping in the parking lot.
13:38:09 <Graham> dome
13:38:32 <Graham> west entrance didnt loo bad at 1230
13:39:26 <Graham> probably small crowd on Mon
13:40:28 <ynpvisitor63> Well BH in a partial eclipse would be an experience.
13:40:32 <ynpvisitor17> wonder if tour buses have 60 eclipse glasses for their crowds
13:41:08 <ynpvisitor17> I think any geyser in partial is cool for lucky ones there
13:51:13 <ynpvisitor63> Well enjoy people watching.
14:28:47 <Joe> Lion
15:42:23 <Graham> did we miss Lion? i was distracted
15:44:00 <Graham> Oblong interval under 4h, nice
16:56:24 <ynpvisitor69> Giant Monday or later. No Aurums for Kevin
16:56:57 <ynpvisitor69> Yet
17:05:51 <Graham> sorry to hear no Aurums ...... but at least there are geysers in view
18:04:01 <Biddle> Aurum was splashing very heavily, up to 3 feet when I was there earlier today. Maybe I can catch one tomorrow...
18:13:15 <ynpvisitor92> 00000.
18:16:08 <ynpvisitor89> Is that Castle? Looks like water
18:16:16 <Graham> yes
18:17:00 <ynpvisitor89> All the gezers must be eating dinner together. No post to GT.
18:22:54 <ynpvisitor17> just saw two, actually.
18:26:23 <Graham> Grotto 1944 and Rocket 1948, odd stuff
18:28:44 <Graham> daisy
18:28:53 <Graham> Grand
18:30:35 <ynpvisitor89> Relatively early grand, maybe Dave will get 5
18:30:45 <ynpvisitor89> Unless he is at Daisy
18:30:55 <Graham> or at Castle
18:30:59 <Graham> or at F&M
18:31:01 <Graham> or eating
18:31:09 <ynpvisitor17> saw that Graham - Giant hot period weirdness?
18:31:53 <Graham> have not heard about anything at Giant
18:32:00 <ynpvisitor89> If he was smart he had reservatins at 6
18:32:09 <Graham> other than the good pause comment
18:33:41 <Graham> castle major
18:41:34 <ynpvisitor89> Split cone looks like it is going
18:42:20 <ynpvisitor89> Wow, Castle, Daisy, Grand, and Split Cone, what a night
