03:33:18
<ynpvisitor999> Dep or Dwarf?
03:49:09
<ynpvisitor999> Caste
03:49:12
<ynpvisitor98> Castle
03:50:09
<ynpvisitor999> Dome possibly ie on static?
03:54:05
<ynpvisitor999> Daisy ie
03:55:23
<ynpvisitor999> Dome ie static
03:56:00
<ynpvisitor98> Castle minor?
03:56:17
<ynpvisitor999> not sure yet
03:56:38
<ynpvisitor999> I'd wait, maybe it's just a pause
03:58:15
<ynpvisitor999> doesn't look promising
04:00:24
<ynpvisitor98> Micah is near castle maybe he will update soon
04:02:49
<ynpvisitor999> Micah called it a minor
04:11:30
<ynpvisitor999> seems like Dome started a few hours ago
04:13:25
<ynpvisitor999> or maybe not even that
04:26:27
<ynpvisitor999> quite the steam plume from Terra Cotta area
04:39:53
<Rice> What is the steam plume next to Beehive, does not look like Indy?
04:40:32
<ynpvisitor999> what side of Beehive?
04:40:45
<Rice> To the Right
04:41:04
<Rice> Just got big,
04:41:13
<ynpvisitor999> that's Beehive itself :)
04:41:30
<Rice> hard to tell without a zoom
04:42:15
<ynpvisitor999> when Indy is erupting, you'd see two plumes close to each other
04:50:36
<ynpvisitor999> morning Jimbo
04:51:00
<Jimbo Hafnium> Good morning, Triple 9
04:53:11
<ynpvisitor999> Hafnium was used in the Apollo Lunar Modules as part of the nozzle of the engine
04:55:29
<Jimbo Hafnium> Last time this element came up I learned that
04:56:01
<Jimbo Hafnium> One of the lesser known but useful elements
04:56:28
<ynpvisitor999> indeed
05:11:30
<ynpvisitor25> is that indy 0708?
05:11:51
<ynpvisitor999> I don't see Indy
05:12:06
<ynpvisitor999> nor after reloading the stream
05:12:58
<ynpvisitor999> morning Dave
05:13:11
<Dave from B> Morning DG
05:13:35
<ynpvisitor999> Dome static
05:14:17
<ynpvisitor25> sure looks like indy
05:14:50
<ynpvisitor999> Indy starting
05:14:57
<ynpvisitor999> .
05:14:58
<Rice> I htought so also, but we think it is just Beehive Splashing
05:14:58
<ynpvisitor999> .
05:14:59
<ynpvisitor999> .
05:15:00
<ynpvisitor999> .
05:15:01
<ynpvisitor999> .
05:15:25
<Dave from B> are you sure?
05:15:40
<Art> Saw the splash
05:15:40
<Dave from B> no indy
05:15:48
<Dave from B> It won't be long
05:15:49
<Art> No indy though ;)
05:15:52
<ynpvisitor999> I really thought so
05:15:58
<ynpvisitor999> Stupid bubblers
05:16:03
<Rice> What is that on the left?
05:16:20
<ynpvisitor25> south bubblers
05:20:38
<ynpvisitor999> those splashes made me think BHI was starting
05:21:03
<Dave from B> Micah must be at Anenome
05:21:55
<ynpvisitor999> stream being zoomed out and the bubblers going make it relatively hard distinguishing BHI, BH and bubblers from each other
05:22:22
<ynpvisitor25> it fooled me
05:24:28
<Dave from B> It would be fun if we could see when water first enters BHI
05:47:43
<ynpvisitor25> I'd bet that is Micah on the bw near plumes corner waiting for Bh
05:50:11
<ynpvisitor999> Steam from Grotto-Giant area
05:56:21
<Kevin L™> Now that is Indy
05:56:24
<Kevin L™> .
05:56:25
<Kevin L™> .
05:56:25
<Kevin L™> .
05:56:26
<Kevin L™> .
05:56:35
<Dave from B> there she is
05:56:41
<Kevin L™> Do we need a text sent?
05:56:43
<Rice> That the right one!
05:57:02
<Dave from B> I'm not able to send right now
05:57:02
<ynpvisitor999> there we go
05:57:13
<Kevin L™> I can do it
05:57:16
<ynpvisitor999> Dome ie static
05:57:36
<Dave from B> Text rec'd
05:57:47
<Kevin L™> Never mind!
05:57:51
<Rice> Text REcieved, Comence Drooling.
05:58:44
<ynpvisitor74> Thanks!
05:58:53
<ynpvisitor999> uhmm... looking at the YNM graph, I see some noise starting from 0634
05:59:25
<ynpvisitor999> and it seems awfully familiar with Steamboat noise... Any ideas?
06:00:04
<Dave from B> could be a snow plow in the area
06:00:13
<Kent> Indy looks like it has a mad on!
06:00:20
<Rice> YNM Graph ????
06:00:38
<ynpvisitor999> seismograph near Norris Museum
06:01:02
<Rice> Where does one find that feed?
06:01:27
<ynpvisitor999> http://quake.utah.edu/station/heli/YNM.png?1524837491410
06:01:38
<ynpvisitor999> though it's somewhere on this page too
06:02:10
<ynpvisitor999> this one is from the most recent Steamboat: https://www.isthisthingon.org/Yellowstone/wrapper.php?file=YNM_SHZ_WY_01-20180419.png
06:02:11
<Rice> OK I know what you are talking about now, Thanks
06:03:00
<ynpvisitor999> would be nice if it were another Steamboat, though a snow plow is probably the most likely one
06:03:57
<ynpvisitor999> :bee::bee:
06:04:18
<ynpvisitor603> Choppy for anyone else?
06:04:27
<ynpvisitor999> not for me (yet)
06:05:35
<Kent> A genuine wonder of nature!
06:05:36
<ynpvisitor110> Choppy for me too.
06:07:09
<ynpvisitor999> Tantalus Creek gage doesn't show a spike, which means almost certainly no Steamboat
06:07:14
<Kevin L™> Very choppy
06:07:43
<ynpvisitor2> not here...very smoothe
06:08:17
<Dave from B> DG, I like the way you analyze data. Thanks for digging deeper.
06:08:18
<Kent> Mine smooth also but my delay could be buffering?
06:08:48
<ynpvisitor999> no problem, Dave
06:10:17
<ynpvisitor116> I was confused. GT has a BH entry, but the clock was still at 15 hours.
06:11:01
<Kevin L™> RTMP is more choppy but is live, HLS is smoother but with a 30s delay
06:12:23
<ynpvisitor116> Giant steam today?
06:12:45
<Dave from B> I think it is Grotto
06:13:17
<ynpvisitor999> I deem it a couple of days too early for Giant, considering the shortest Giant interval of the past 100 was 4½-ish days
06:13:24
<Kevin L™> refresh 116
06:14:57
<Dave from B> I'm trying to get ready for our sale today. In "typical" active Giant reactivations, how many eruptions does it take to get into a weekly eruption pattern?
06:15:16
<ynpvisitor116> It just took a bit for the time to update.
06:15:34
<ynpvisitor116> A Giant Fish sale?
06:17:06
<Dave from B> nope...lots of little fish:)
06:17:44
<ynpvisitor999> Lion ini
06:19:55
<ynpvisitor999> Anemone
06:20:03
<ynpvisitor116> A guppy sale then?
06:20:16
<Dave from B> not that little
06:20:49
<ynpvisitor116> Too early for Smelt
06:21:50
<ynpvisitor999> Based on data in GOSA's Giant text file, it took 10 Giant's to start the 1996-2002 active period
06:21:51
<Dave from B> We have lots of bait smelt for sale for walleye fisherman
06:22:31
<Dave from B> Thanks a bunch, DG. Those 10 eruptions were spaced over how long a time period?
06:22:52
<ynpvisitor603> Solitary steam
06:22:58
<ynpvisitor999> to be calculated, need to time OF as good as I can
06:28:32
<ynpvisitor999> the first eruption of the 1996-2002 active period began @ 1743 on July 31, 1996, after 310 days of no recorded eruption
06:30:23
<ynpvisitor999> the tenth eruption began @ 1107 on February 24, 1997, 17 days and 18 hours since the last observed eruption.
06:31:06
<ynpvisitor999> time span is approximaltely 8 months
06:32:31
<Dave from B> We have had presumably 6 eruptions since October, a span of 6.5 months
06:32:46
<ynpvisitor999> side note here is that there were eruptions with intervals of 2 weeks or less right after the 2nd eruption took place, then increased to ~45 days and then decreased to ~16 days
06:33:32
<ynpvisitor999> after the tenth eruption a stable interval of about two weeks or less between eruptions was established
06:34:33
<ynpvisitor999> eventually those intervals were as short as just over 3 days
06:34:37
<Dave from B> I sure hope it is a Giant summer. It's been 11 years since I had a Giant shower
06:35:08
<ynpvisitor603> Giant has never been active since we've been fortunate enough to go to the park :(
06:35:29
<Jimbo Hafnium> I'll keep conserving my vacation days
06:35:34
<ynpvisitor603> Definitely cautiously optimistic
06:35:44
<Dave from B> You think Grand puts out a lot of water during an eruption
06:36:08
<Dave from B> 603, how many days do you have in the park this year?
06:36:37
<ynpvisitor603> 10 days in May/June and then hopefully 14 in Aug/Sept
06:36:53
<Dave from B> nice!
06:37:02
<ynpvisitor603> With a tiny chance of a couple days in July but that's a long shot
06:37:44
<ynpvisitor116> The park in July and August, you are brave or...
06:37:58
<ynpvisitor603> Have a family thing in Seattle in July so might fly in to SEA and out BZN, but that's a big stretch goal
06:37:59
<ynpvisitor999> The next active period, from 2005-2008, took 6 recorded eruptions to start
06:38:33
<ynpvisitor999> and roughly three months
06:38:45
<ynpvisitor999> over the course of three months*
06:39:52
<Dave from B> Giant vs Steamboat: The battle of 2018
06:40:01
<ynpvisitor603> Late August into September has been fine, drops off once everyone has to go back to school
06:40:44
<ynpvisitor999> there seemed to be a small active period in 2004, with 7 recorded eruptions over the course of 7 months
06:41:03
<Dave from B> Even durting July and August you can avoid crowds on the roads if you travel early and late
06:41:21
<ynpvisitor603> Yeah we're usually up and out the door by 5-5:30am
06:41:43
<ynpvisitor603> Basically sunup to sundown, the joke I have is I can sleep at work ;)
06:41:45
<ynpvisitor999> Daisy
06:42:43
<ynpvisitor999> Seems Micah missed a hot period by only minutes
06:49:44
<ynpvisitor603> I'm hoping Echinus has some life to it this year
06:50:23
<ynpvisitor603> Looks like he got a hot period now
06:57:02
<Jimbo Hafnium> So the Giant recovery is in progress then
06:59:00
<ynpvisitor44> stay tuned, excitement is just around the corner!
07:00:01
<ynpvisitor116> Well it is all a mystery to me, have not seen it, and can not see it. Just needs to wait till the 23rd or 24th of May.
07:00:34
<Dave from B> Time to get my bike tuned up
07:00:58
<ynpvisitor116> Well, enjoy the rest of the day
07:02:56
<ynpvisitor999> I think we can expect Turban times soon
07:05:21
<Dave from B> It will be tough for Micah to leave Giant at this time
07:05:50
<Dave from B> cb is at OF?
07:06:43
<ynpvisitor44> :grand:
07:07:21
<ynpvisitor44> :grand:
07:07:40
<Forestbewithyou> Do you guys see the steam close to where giant is
07:07:50
<ynpvisitor999> that's Grand
07:08:15
<Forestbewithyou> Oh really
07:08:16
<ynpvisitor603> Dave from B, yup
07:08:30
<Forestbewithyou> I thought grand was over more
07:08:59
<ynpvisitor44> Grand is the tall plume
07:10:03
<ynpvisitor999> if you mean that tall plume, Forest, that's Grand. If you mean the smaller, gray-ish one, that could be from the Grotto or Giant group
07:10:23
<Forestbewithyou> I ment the one next to it
07:10:31
<Dave from B> decent line at Gardiner
07:10:40
<Forestbewithyou> Thanks
07:11:20
<ynpvisitor603> Anyone know how to fix "You are trying to speak to a unknown (or not connected) user" when trying to PM someone who's active ;)
07:11:22
<ynpvisitor999> this image may help you: http://donsplace.orgfree.com/ofcc2/images/UGBpan02as_labeled.jpg
07:12:16
<Forestbewithyou> I looked at that after you guys said it was grand
07:12:39
<ynpvisitor999> oh, didn't know that :)
07:12:44
<Forestbewithyou> Because I was thinking that I was looking at something different than grand
07:13:04
<ynpvisitor999> right
07:13:57
<Dave from B> 603, I would recommend closing and opening the page or ask the person to pm you.
07:13:59
<Forestbewithyou> I rember when I went to Yellowstone we were running from daisy to old Faithful in the morning and I look over and I saw grand and I said to the person I was next to hey what is that
07:14:32
<Forestbewithyou> Then they started taking pictures while runnig
07:15:19
<Jimbo Hafnium> hmm
07:15:28
<Jimbo Hafnium> 9 minutes
07:15:55
<ynpvisitor999> 2nd is quite unlikely now
07:16:20
<Jimbo Hafnium> Hard to tell anyway
07:16:30
<ynpvisitor999> indeed
07:17:04
<ynpvisitor999> cb is there, so he should be able to tell how many bursts there were
07:17:45
<Forestbewithyou> So on the emojis what is the one in between grand and the thumbs up like what geyser is it for
07:17:58
<ynpvisitor41> Dave from B, PM me ;)
07:18:05
<ynpvisitor999> that's Beehive's Indicator
07:18:24
<ynpvisitor999> often abbreviated to BHI or Indy
07:18:58
<Forestbewithyou> Thanks
07:19:40
<ynpvisitor999> G1Q
07:20:07
<ynpvisitor999> apparently had a duration of 1 second
07:21:37
<Forestbewithyou> Does the G1 mean 1 Burst
07:21:53
<ynpvisitor999> Grand start, 1 burst, Vent and Turban quit
07:22:10
<Forestbewithyou> Ok got it thanks learning new things everyday
07:22:25
<ynpvisitor999> T1C would mean Turban start, 1 burst, Vent and Turban continued
07:23:09
<ynpvisitor41> https://geysertimes.org/glossary.php
07:23:34
<Forestbewithyou> Ok cool well I have to go so thanks for the knowledge I will be back later hopefully
07:27:18
<ynpvisitor44> :lion:
07:28:19
<ynpvisitor44> Lion 0927
07:31:28
<Art> Just heard that there may have been Steamboat 0810ns
07:31:53
<Art> ynpvisitor999, That seismo data may have been right
07:32:20
<ynpvisitor44> 999 thought he saw it on the seismo
07:32:38
<ynpvisitor999> Tantalus Creek shows the beginning of a spike now: https://waterdata.usgs.gov/mt/nwis/uv?site_no=06036940
07:33:18
<Art> That would be 7 day interval
07:36:04
<ynpvisitor999> I hope this is the beginning of a Steamboat active period :)
07:36:37
<ynpvisitor114> Giant, Steamboat, could be the summer of the big geysers! Too bad back basin is still closed.
07:38:02
<ynpvisitor999> Tantalus Creek gage just uploaded its data again. Spike is now relatively visible on it: https://waterdata.usgs.gov/mt/nwis/uv/?ts_id=82337&format=img_default&site_no=06036940&period=7
07:38:06
<Art> Looks like 1982-1984 all over again :)
07:38:43
<Art> Sorry 1982 and 1983 seem to have similar analogs
07:40:08
<ynpvisitor999> just played a bit with the parameters to get hours for the gage. It shows a spike forming just past 0800: https://waterdata.usgs.gov/mt/nwis/uv?cb_00010=on&cb_00060=on&cb_00065=on&format=gif_default&site_no=06036940&period=&begin_date=2018-04-27&end_date=2018-04-27
07:40:31
<Art> FYI, The source of the report is extremely credible
07:41:08
<ynpvisitor44> MAB?
07:41:15
<Art> OK on GeyserTimes now
07:41:17
<Art> Rocco
07:41:26
<ynpvisitor44> Great
07:42:02
<Art> https://geysertimes.org/eruption.php?id=1034192
07:42:03
<ynpvisitor999> I wonder how tall it got
07:42:36
<ynpvisitor56> Rocco got video of the water phase
07:42:55
<ynpvisitor999> that's really nice
07:42:58
<Art> YES!!!!
07:46:39
<Jimbo Hafnium> I'd sure like to see that video - Rocco will probably put it on Geyser Gazers on FB, right?
07:47:07
<ynpvisitor94> woooowwww
07:47:45
<ynpvisitor114> Rocco’s in the park now. He does not post from the park. He could not go to back basin, video must be from road
07:48:08
<Jimbo Hafnium> I can wait
07:48:54
<ynpvisitor94> I would not be following closure signs if Steamboat were erupting
07:49:00
<Jimbo Hafnium> I had sort of despaired that the "big" geysers had been quiet lately - that may be changing
07:49:34
<ynpvisitor999> maybe they have something to celebrate this year
07:50:02
<ynpvisitor999> maybe a possible peace treaty between the Koreas
07:50:11
<ynpvisitor94> it's Trump making Great Geysers Great Again
07:51:10
<ynpvisitor114> That is NOT what is happening 94
07:51:56
<ynpvisitor114> Trump would sell the park if he could
07:51:59
<ynpvisitor94> I'm sure he'll mention how tremendous it is in his next "speech"
07:52:15
<ynpvisitor999> Riverside
07:52:36
<ynpvisitor114> Thankfully Yellowstone is far from his feeble thoughts
07:54:41
<ynpvisitor94> "There's these geezers-you know-Old Faithful in Jellystone. A big one. The biggest ever is doing tremendous things right now. Never before seen. It's really remarkable. Water just -sschhhhhhhh- you know. Huge."
07:55:55
<ynpvisitor999> Dome?
08:02:25
<ynpvisitor999> nice static
08:04:27
<ynpvisitor603> Well 30 more days for us, really excited for the possibilities this year. Hope everyone has great luck whenever they are in the park :)
08:07:35
<ynpvisitor603> https://yellowstonenaturalist.com/2018/04/watching-steamboat-geyser/
08:08:09
<ynpvisitor603> Janet Jones just posted "Watching Steamboat Geyser" to her site
08:10:27
<ynpvisitor999> Time to update it with the eruption that occured today
08:12:12
<Dave from B> So, those of us yeaterday who picked Giant before next steamboat...we lose!
08:12:26
<ynpvisitor999> indeed
08:13:26
<ynpvisitor30> Where is the video of the water phase they said on the note
08:13:39
<ynpvisitor30> Is it public or no
08:13:40
<ynpvisitor999> probably to be uploaded
08:13:51
<ynpvisitor30> Ok
08:14:04
<ynpvisitor30> I hope it is going into an active phase
08:16:15
<ynpvisitor94> if everyone left for Steamboat, Giant can erupt ;)
08:17:52
<ynpvisitor999> how about Giantess?
08:18:24
<ynpvisitor603> Now were just getting greedy
08:18:40
<Betty> what what what???
08:18:54
<ynpvisitor94> sure, Giantess can go too
08:19:01
<Betty> really? Steamboat again?
08:19:04
<ynpvisitor603> Steamboat 0810ns
08:19:14
<Betty> YAY
08:19:37
<ynpvisitor999> GHP 1013
08:20:02
<Betty> WHAT WHAT WHAT??????
08:20:15
<ynpvisitor999> no, didn't result in an eruption
08:20:18
<Betty> What´s happening here :-D
08:21:05
<Betty> fun. I hope the Park does not blow up until I was there ;-)
08:21:25
<ynpvisitor999> according to the entry, Feather was strong and Mastiff boiling to 1-2 feet, with Bijou being on the entire time. Thereafter it went to a powerful steam phase
08:22:21
<ynpvisitor94> exciting
08:23:06
<Betty> good day. Even ABBA will publish 2 new songs :-)
08:23:33
<ynpvisitor94> ABBA???? another sign that it's 1982 all over again
08:23:41
<ynpvisitor603> lol
08:24:25
<Betty> hahaha
08:25:13
<ynpvisitor999> time for Echinus to get going again, if it's 1982 all over again then
08:27:29
<ynpvisitor44> I hope they are all active for christmas (Aug 25) that is when I'll be there :)
08:30:09
<ynpvisitor999> let's see if Lion can continue its series
08:30:13
<Kevin L™> No Aurum yet?
08:30:27
<Betty> you mean ABBA playing at an eruption of Steamboat?
08:30:39
<ynpvisitor999> as far as I know, no Aurum yet, Kevin
08:30:46
<Betty> hi Kevin
08:31:08
<Betty> getting your Steamboat suit ready?
08:37:37
<ynpvisitor> Well Steamboat is scheduled for May 22 or 23.
08:37:58
<Eric> Morning
08:38:06
<ynpvisitor999> Morning Eric
08:38:20
<Eric> Hi DG
08:38:43
<Betty> morning Eric
08:38:54
<Eric> Wish we had norris logger data back :-(
08:38:56
<Eric> Hi Betty
08:39:56
<ynpvisitor999> I've asked the YVO (via their USGS Volcanoes twitter) last week and got as reply that they'll look into it
08:40:08
<Betty> Happy Koningsdag, DG
08:40:16
<ynpvisitor999> thanks Betty
08:41:08
<Eric> Thanks DG
08:41:54
<ynpvisitor999> maybe that's the reason why the graphs are currently down completely, rather than showing an empty graph
08:42:02
<Forestbewithyou> why do you think we are getting all of these big geysers
08:42:44
<ynpvisitor999> activity shifts, most likely
08:43:20
<Eric> Pretty complex system to guess why...
08:43:36
<Eric> water tables, lava movement, earthquakes, ......
08:43:39
<ynpvisitor999> or increase in activity, which is most likely the case with Giant, as it has a long history of having active and inactive periods
08:43:40
<ynpvisitor94> hard to say, this activity isn't unusual or unprecedented when looking at decade-long cycles that may happen
08:43:47
<ynpvisitor58> YNPvisitor999 - USGS Volcanoes here. We did note an eruption of Steamboat on April 19.
08:43:55
<Kevin L™> Teasing us. It will all quit in 3 weeks
08:43:57
<ynpvisitor94> it feels unusual when it only happens a few times in a lifetime though!
08:44:04
<ynpvisitor999> Thanks, USGS :)
08:44:18
<ynpvisitor58> Our Norris temperature loggers are down...which is a HUGE bummer right now.
08:44:35
<Eric> Yep....you can get to norris now :-D
08:45:03
<Eric> Morning Kevin
08:45:07
<ynpvisitor999> Castle
08:45:09
<Eric> castle
08:45:19
<Forestbewithyou> I hope it will erupt on 26 of May as that is my birthday
08:45:28
<Eric> I agree Forest
08:45:46
<Eric> That is my first full day in the park :-D
08:45:53
<Kevin L™> Morning Eric
08:45:59
<ynpvisitor44> :castle:
08:45:59
<ynpvisitor90> People not allowed in back basin still
08:46:15
<ynpvisitor94> there will be A LOT of people happy with a May 26 eruption on Memorial Day Weekend
08:47:12
<ynpvisitor999> nice spikes for Castle
08:48:28
<ynpvisitor> All this activity is the precursor to the big one. I do not think you have enough time to order your mega volcano shelter.
08:49:00
<ynpvisitor999> I think I'll be alright in the Netherlands :)
08:49:10
<ynpvisitor999> if that happens, of course
08:49:43
<Forestbewithyou> I think I am going to be fine I am on the other side of the USA
08:50:12
<ynpvisitor> You can get one of these. https://www.feldfire.com/New-Generation-Forest-Fire-Protection-Shelter_p_624.html?gclid=EAIaIQobChMI37nFy_Ta2gIVk_hkCh3rnA42EAkYBCABEgJF__D_BwE
08:50:51
<Forestbewithyou> LOL
08:51:07
<ynpvisitor> Well if something as big as the original caldera ever blew again, you would not be safe anyplace.
08:51:22
<USGS Volcanoes> When the geysers dry out - that's when to worry about magma getting closer to the surface.
08:52:02
<Forestbewithyou> Fair
08:52:20
<ynpvisitor> Wow, it is Friday, and I saw a worker?
08:53:11
<Eric> looks like castle is going to be a major
08:53:45
<Forestbewithyou> I think they should put a webcam down there so people who aren't there can witness it
08:54:22
<ynpvisitor999> I'm not entirely convinced just yet, Eric. The eruption has been going for about 9 minutes now - anything can happen, really
08:54:24
<Eric> Hey, I have been lobbying for an Inn Roof top cam, already has power and internet.
08:54:38
<Eric> You could see much better down basin from the roof of the Inn
08:54:50
<ynpvisitor> Power in Winter?
08:55:19
<Eric> They already have to keep some systems on
08:55:37
<Eric> I assume
08:55:59
<Eric> Don't want fire control pipes freezing
08:56:19
<ynpvisitor999> I wonder if it's feasible to set up a static over at Norris
08:56:39
<Eric> Static at Norris would be awesome...store has power and internet
08:57:33
<Kevin L™> Inn has power in the Winter.
08:58:04
<Forestbewithyou> I can't wait for the video of steamboat I have always wanted to see it in waterphase
08:58:43
<ynpvisitor> Dang, they are replacing the deck and railing on the observation deck of the lodge
09:00:34
<Forestbewithyou> So is it illegal to take water from a geyser out of the park if say steamboat erupted and you caught water in a bottle
09:01:57
<ynpvisitor999> I don't think it's illegal to set up a bucket or bottle to catch water from an erupting geyser
09:02:20
<Eric> I think you would get strange looks :-P
09:02:53
<ynpvisitor999> as long as you (and your contraption) stay on the boardwalk and don't hinder people
09:03:15
<ynpvisitor> Is anyone at the lodge answering phones yet? Or do I need to wait till it opens on the 4th?
09:03:17
<ynpvisitor105> Ok I got disconnected
09:03:26
<ynpvisitor105> But I am back
09:04:36
<Eric> ohhh, I didn't see that Steamboat had another eruption this morning!
09:05:18
<Eric> 7 day interval!
09:06:00
<ynpvisitor603> Crazy right
09:06:02
<Kevin L™> :)
09:06:12
<ynpvisitor603> So looks like something similar happened in the early 80's
09:06:23
<Kevin L™> You think parking was bad there last year.....
09:06:43
<ynpvisitor999> you can kinda see the steam phase on the YNM graph, though it doesn't match the time for when the ns was called and water data from Tantalus Creek
09:06:51
<ynpvisitor603> MA is going to have some company ;)
09:07:02
<Eric> I don't mind getting to Norris early....
09:07:18
<ynpvisitor999> How long does it actually take for Steamboat's water to reach Tantalus Creek gage?
09:07:32
<Eric> But bouncing back between Norris and UGB for Giant/Steamboat duals will be tough ;-P
09:07:33
<ynpvisitor603> I hope this is the type of problem we have this summer
09:07:43
<ynpvisitor603> Steamboat or Giant, what to do, what to do...
09:07:49
<Eric> exactly!
09:08:24
<ynpvisitor999> mix in a Giantess, Morning or Excelsior too, and it will be overloaded gazers
09:08:47
<ynpvisitor> Kevin would be happily setting at Aurum all alone.
09:11:03
<Betty> It would be great to have a cam on Inn rooftop, even if they would run it only durung summer times. Better than nothing :-)
09:11:03
<Eric> My rental car has unlimited miles on it :-P
09:11:13
<Betty> during
09:12:26
<Betty> mine too :-)
09:12:56
<ynpvisitor603> USGS Volcanoes, Do you have a copy of the Steamboat temp chart from the last eruption on April 19th?
09:13:10
<Kevin L™> I would be happier if they gave me a pullout and a bench.
09:13:17
<Kevin L™> Faisy
09:13:21
<ynpvisitor999> Daisy
09:13:37
<Betty> and this year Thomas will drive it too, so one can go to Steamboat and one to Giant, and then we will change Positions the following day :-)
09:13:52
<ynpvisitor603> USGS Volcanoes, Sorry Norris seismograph
09:14:27
<ynpvisitor603> Norris Seismograph from April 19th
09:15:00
<USGS Volcanoes> Temp looks to be about 60C
09:15:19
<USGS Volcanoes> We have norris seismic also.
09:15:37
<Kevin L™> Are you coming again this year Betty?
09:15:58
<USGS Volcanoes> We will be releasing something soon...trying to gather data about this morning's events.
09:16:13
<ynpvisitor999> sounds interesting
09:16:18
<USGS Volcanoes> Info may come out from NPS vs. USGS, but someone will put something out.
09:19:28
<Kevin L™> My Kelsteinhaus cam is gone Betty. :(
09:20:40
<Eric> So is that Steamboat showing on the Norris Museum seismo? http://quake.utah.edu/station/heli/YNM.png?1524849616048
09:21:17
<USGS Volcanoes> We're checking in with University of Utah on that.
09:21:20
<Eric> Starting about 0640
09:21:42
<ynpvisitor999> that's noise starting at 0634, while Steamboat was reported to be ns @ 0810
09:22:13
<ynpvisitor999> either the seismo predicts the future or the ns time is wrong
09:22:22
<Eric> Right...but it could be the build up before the eruption
09:22:37
<ynpvisitor603> Or the Daylight savings time isn't right
09:22:54
<ynpvisitor603> So it's really 0740
09:24:05
<ynpvisitor90> Rocco saw water above the trees, so that would be a long eruption if it started before 7
09:24:26
<Eric> Yes, I think it's probably a little early to be the eruption...but interesting data point.
09:24:56
<ynpvisitor90> I wonder if it is not set to DST
09:25:09
<ynpvisitor50> USGS and YVO graphs are on standard time.
09:25:18
<ynpvisitor999> Water data from Tantalus Creek, if I'm reading it right, would suggest the eruption started before 0800: https://waterdata.usgs.gov/mt/nwis/uv?cb_00010=on&cb_00060=on&cb_00065=on&format=gif_default&site_no=06036940&period=&begin_date=2018-04-27&end_date=2018-04-27
09:25:25
<ynpvisitor90> Always?
09:25:43
<ynpvisitor50> Yes. So there is an hour accounted for right there.
09:25:52
<ynpvisitor999> though I have no idea how long it takes for the water to reach the gage
09:26:45
<ynpvisitor83> Norris seismo is on Mountain Daylight Time (there is also a UTC time scale on the right axis)
09:27:08
<ynpvisitor83> As for time it takes water to reach Tantalus gauge, it's on the order of minutes.
09:27:57
<Eric> So looking at that graph, water started climbing around 0700 MDT?
09:28:38
<Kevin L™> Pretty nice that Rocco got to see it.
09:28:48
<ynpvisitor999> 0730-ish is my guess, Eric
09:31:25
<Betty> Yes, Kevin, we will be in the Park from Sep.19-28
09:32:22
<Kevin L™> That is a good (but chilly) time.
09:32:33
<Kevin L™> Love the elk bugling.
09:32:35
<Betty> I know
09:32:53
<Betty> Steam at Aurum
09:33:03
<Betty> look for it
09:33:05
<Kevin L™> Crowds are smaller too.
09:33:30
<Kevin L™> Are you going to try Zion again?
09:39:33
<ynpvisitor44> Dome
09:42:37
<USGS Volcanoes> Hey. Anyone have contact info for Rocco?
09:44:28
<ynpvisitor33> he works at Old Faithful Inn
09:44:39
<ynpvisitor33> today is their move in date
09:46:17
<ynpvisitor44> short
09:50:43
<Ryan> That was a very excited call from Micah
09:51:02
<Ryan> Ten minutes after he called about his hot period.
09:52:39
<Kevin L™> Looking forward to video of water phase.
09:53:43
<ynpvisitor603> I really hope that 82-84 are analog years, that would be great for folks to have an actual shot at seeing Steamboat
09:54:14
<Ryan> That would have people making hard decisions... Giant, Steamboat, Giant, Steamboat...
09:54:21
<Ryan> .....Steamboat. :)
09:58:57
<Betty> Kevin, we stay one night in Springdale and try to go in in the morning. In the evening we will head to Vegas again
09:59:14
<Betty> hi Ryan
09:59:50
<Betty> we want to go to Lehman Cave in Great Basin NTL park
10:00:16
<Eric> Hey Ryan, any word from Rocco? USGS/NPS is looking to use his video/images for a news release
10:00:34
<Eric> I believe....
10:01:01
<Betty> snow on BW is almost gone
10:06:17
<ynpvisitor603> USGS Volcanoes, I sent you a Private message when you get a second
10:07:24
<Eric> Yes, it might be completely gone by end of day Betty
10:07:46
<Eric> I thought you were the Wapiti wolves 603 :-)
10:08:08
<Rice> Look at the school group
10:08:35
<ynpvisitor603> Nope, I saw that too. Pretty awesome username but not me ;0
10:08:43
<sparekitty> how amazing to go to OF at SCHOOL!
10:09:11
<ynpvisitor33> they should be walking around
10:09:13
<USGS Volcanoes> Thanks...
10:10:53
<USGS Volcanoes> Hey 603 - can you send an email to yvowebteam@usgs.gov?
10:11:19
<ynpvisitor603> Sure
10:25:06
<Eric> Interesting difference between the water output of the two eruptions: https://waterdata.usgs.gov/nwisweb/graph?agency_cd=USGS&site_no=06036940&parm_cd=00065&period=8#.WuNqp7a-M2Q.twitter
10:26:12
<ynpvisitor999> maybe this is a more powerful eruption than the one on the 19th
10:26:47
<ynpvisitor999> what is the two-peaked spike in the middle?
10:26:50
<ynpvisitor999> snowmelt?
10:27:08
<Eric> That is the previous eruption date
10:27:29
<Eric> ohh, woops...no must have been that rain/snow we had
10:27:48
<ynpvisitor999> ah, right
10:34:53
<Kevin L™> Don't stay at the Cliffrose Betty
10:37:17
<Kevin L™> I can give you a few spots on US 93 between Ely and Vegas too Betty.
10:40:04
<Eric> OF
10:43:24
<Betty> where is the Cliffrose?
10:45:00
<Kevin L™> Springdale
10:47:16
<ynpvisitor47> Good to see people. I felt like a whole lot of hot water was going to waste this morning.
10:47:41
<Dave from B> It's the blue brigade!
10:48:06
<Kevin L™> Glad I am not in charge of that!
10:48:15
<Betty> I stay at La Qunta Inn at Springdale
10:48:16
<Dave from B> hokey pokey!
10:48:32
<Betty> Quinta*
10:48:42
<Kevin L™> Sounds good.
10:48:48
<ynpvisitor603> This is hilarious
10:49:01
<Kevin L™> Wish we had sound
10:49:06
<ynpvisitor603> I've got music on in the room and it's going perfectly to them
10:49:23
<Kevin L™> Wish I had that much energy
10:49:27
<Betty> :-) fun
10:49:45
<ynpvisitor47> It's a shame we can't send them a video.
10:49:55
<Betty> you have in your head Kevin
10:50:07
<Kevin L™> I wondeer if they know they are on video?
10:50:57
<Eric> looked like they were be recorded by about 20 video cameras :-P
10:52:05
<Kevin L™> When we had the leash on my Granddaughter all the Asians wanted video of it.
10:52:46
<ynpvisitor44> It would be nice to beable to let them know they were being watched by many people around the world. :)
10:56:43
<ynpvisitor44> someone should call the VEC and ask them to let them know they can watch themselves on the GOSA capture.
10:58:00
<sparekitty> my daughter is a teacher in montana and when she takes her kids here, she makes sure the parents know they can try to see their kids on the webcam

11:03:10
<USGS Volcanoes> info about recent steamboat eruptions on our social media channels.
11:03:41
<ynpvisitor44> another Giant hot period 1242
11:04:08
<ynpvisitor33> Cancellation fees are going up to $25 on May 1, per occurrence with Xanterra lodging.
11:05:02
<Will B> always free with it being a "family emergency"
11:05:03
<Kevin L™> Can you still cancel 30+ days with no fee?
11:05:10
<Betty> thanks for cleaning guy
11:05:28
<Betty> hey Will :-)
11:05:58
<ynpvisitor33> so Steamboat was 0630
11:06:13
<Will B> not this one
11:06:24
<ynpvisitor83> Yes, both seismic and water gauge data indicate an eruption starting at 6:30
11:06:42
<ynpvisitor33> Guests will need to cancel reservations at least 7 days prior to arrival in order receive a refund of their deposit. The change/cancel fee will increase to $25.00. This fee is charged for each change made to a reservation within 30 days of arrival.
11:06:46
<Will B> this one today was at 0810ns
11:06:55
<ynpvisitor33> that is from a FB post about the upcoming reservations
11:07:10
<ynpvisitor33> Will, that has been changed with data
11:07:24
<ynpvisitor33> look at the post
11:07:53
<USGS Volcanoes> Data indicates 6:30 for a start time. The Tantalus Weir spike occurred before 8, and it takes about 30-45 mins for water to get there from Steamboat.
11:07:54
<Will B> well you can tell them it is a family emergency if you need to cancel and they wont ask questions and cancel it no charge
11:08:18
<ynpvisitor33> That is good to know Will
11:08:24
<Will B> well the eruption today had a reliable eye witness that can affirm it was not going before 0800
11:08:38
<USGS Volcanoes> Would love to talk to him!
11:09:04
<Will B> Rocco saw 26min of water so he got it very near the start
11:09:20
<ynpvisitor83> Was it erupting when Rocco arrived on site?
11:09:23
<Will B> no
11:09:30
<Will B> hense the NS and not IE
11:09:56
<ynpvisitor83> Was cistern empty when Rocco arrived?
11:10:10
<Will B> back basin is closed
11:10:15
<Will B> he saw it from the road
11:10:17
<ynpvisitor81> he cannot legally answer that question
11:10:36
<ynpvisitor33> maybe it was paused
11:11:00
<Will B> steamboat pause????
11:11:06
<Will B> that doesnt happen
11:11:17
<ynpvisitor33> no idea, the data does not support what Rocco saw
11:11:20
<ynpvisitor81> and therefore will never happen :P
11:11:35
<Will B> Data can be incorrect
11:11:43
<DaveM> Rocco is a reliable observer. He knows what he saw and what to look for. It would be nice to talk to him directrly but I trust his observations
11:12:07
<USGS Volcanoes> I agree, it would be nice to talk to him directly.
11:12:19
<Will B> right now i would trust his observations. he saw 26min of water. and the longest water phase known is not that much longer
11:12:22
<ynpvisitor81> how calibrated is the time on the Tantalus gauge?
11:12:33
<ynpvisitor83> It's not off by hours
11:12:48
<ynpvisitor33> just seems odd the creek logger would be that far off
11:12:51
<ynpvisitor83> Same with seismic, which has GPS time to control it.
11:15:10
<USGS Volcanoes> So, Rocco says water phase started at 8:10 and lasted for 26 minutes?
11:15:56
<USGS Volcanoes> And he was near enough to see the start of the activity? If so, was there vigorous steam before water?
11:15:58
<Will B> Rocco unfortunately has told me he does not want to talk to the usgs people
11:16:12
<USGS Volcanoes> Maybe he'd talk to someone from the park?
11:16:20
<USGS Volcanoes> Or the University of Utah?
11:17:39
<USGS Volcanoes> It's very helpful to try to correlate data with eye witness accounts. Perhaps we are missing something in the data that could help with deciphering other events.
11:18:23
<Eric> Better yet....get a camera out there for 24/7 observation ;-)
11:18:31
<Eric> We will help observe!
11:18:37
<ynpvisitor999> Aurum!
11:18:38
<ynpvisitor999> .
11:18:38
<ynpvisitor999> .
11:18:39
<ynpvisitor999> .
11:18:40
<ynpvisitor603> Aurum
11:18:40
<USGS Volcanoes> Great point.
11:18:42
<ynpvisitor44> AURUM
11:18:42
<Betty> Aurum
11:18:43
<Eric> woot
11:18:43
<Betty> .
11:18:43
<Betty> .
11:18:44
<Betty> .
11:19:01
<Eric> Thanks camop
11:19:19
<Betty> good shot
11:19:29
<Eric> go away fluffy
11:19:34
<ynpvisitor33> that was fun
11:19:40
<Eric> Nice catch DG
11:19:53
<ynpvisitor999> thanks :)
11:19:53
<Betty> good on static too
11:20:03
<Eric> I would tie your Norris cam in here in a heartbeat :-D
11:22:33
<Will B> ok i just got off the phone with rocco. i updated the GT entry accordingly
11:22:36
<ynpvisitor33> looks like Rocco is at Giant
11:23:38
<ynpvisitor33> is there ever a mixed phase with steam and water?
11:24:22
<Will B> well it mixes for a short period of time as it transistions
11:24:23
<ynpvisitor81> USGS, is the seismic event known to occur at the start of Steamboat's eruption? does it line up with the YVO water logger time?
11:25:36
<Will B> i think this video will help people understand steamboat. It is a video from the start of the 1991 eruption. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3yfXqjDMH6U
11:25:38
<USGS Volcanoes> Good question. Let me dig.
11:26:13
<ynpvisitor83> The times are consistent. There was a 90-minute lag between seismic onset and Tantalus weir discharge spike. That seems to be roughly about what we're seeing here. Give or take a few minutes.
11:26:38
<Kevin L™> :P It knows
11:31:39
<Eric> Great info here!
11:31:49
<ynpvisitor44> AURUM Replay https://youtu.be/weQ1ydhW9f8
11:33:43
<ynpvisitor47> Thank you
11:33:43
<Betty> Great video, Will! I did not know that there is one existing! Many thanks for the link
11:34:37
<Eric> Jaw on floor watching that video Betty!
11:35:01
<Betty> same here!
11:35:20
<Betty> do you see all the muddy water???
11:35:50
<ynpvisitor999> is that comic sans on the sign?
11:35:51
<Betty> What a lucky person
11:36:20
<Eric> at about 2 minutes in "Jesus Christ" was about all they could say!
11:36:20
<ynpvisitor999> it's an amazing video, especially the start
11:37:18
<Eric> Incredible Video...can't wait for a modern HD GO Pro or full frame camera to capture that raw power
11:37:45
<ynpvisitor999> I can't wait either
11:37:50
<Ryan> Rocco had an SLR. So he likely got *good* photos and videos.
11:38:03
<ynpvisitor81> 90 minutes for the water to get to the gauge seems like a long time but I guess it has to fill up the milky blue pool first so then the lag time would be affected by how full that pool is: https://www.google.com/maps/place/44%C2%B043'57.8%22N+110%C2%B042'47.7%22W/@44.7289419,-110.7153658,1806m/data=!3m1!1e3!4m5!3m4!1s0x0:0x0!8m2!3d44.732725!4d-110.7132528
11:38:05
<Eric> ohhh man...you are mean Ryan
11:38:34
<Eric> ugg, single quote link fail...sorry 81
11:38:38
<Ryan> Mean? lol
11:38:47
<Eric> Yes, I cannot see them :-(
11:39:01
<Eric> teasing us with hopes of HD video
11:39:02
<Ryan> Oh, I will pester him and Micah. We will get it aha
11:39:25
<Ryan> Hopes? He has the video - Micah has probably seen it by now.
11:39:27
<Kevin L™> Thanks 44. My cookies were good anyway
11:39:39
<Ryan> Hope isnt needed - it exists aha
11:39:42
<ynpvisitor603> I'm surprised Rocco isn't using a flip phone ;)
11:39:54
<ynpvisitor47> :)
11:40:25
<ynpvisitor603> Just like that visitor who had the video of Steamboat water phase a couple years ago? That was such a let down...
11:40:27
<Eric> faisy
11:41:11
<Ryan> 603, Rocco uses a Canon t3i (I helped him pick it out). If you know Rocco, we will see video, and soon. :)
11:41:43
<Ryan> I wont speculate too much on the quality - but knowing Rocco its likely to be the best video of Steamboat in existance.
11:41:45
<ynpvisitor603> I'm just joking, not serious
11:42:53
<Kevin L™> Hey, I still have a flip phone!
11:43:35
<ynpvisitor81> "wont speculate too much": "best video in existance"
11:43:42
<ynpvisitor81> lol
11:43:42
<Eric> haha
11:43:48
<Ryan> Welp, I guess I can let y'all down, per Micah: "He has no video."
11:44:06
<Ryan> 81, given only two videos exist...
11:44:22
<Ryan> At least, two videos the public can know of.
11:44:27
<Eric> I thought that might happen...
11:44:34
<Eric> hence me saying hopes
11:44:44
<Ryan> Micah did call me this morning, almost hysterical, saying Rocco had video.
11:45:01
<Eric> Yes, and I assume video he couldn't share
11:45:13
<ynpvisitor81> I'm sure Rocco does not appreciate all this attention so maybe best to lay low
11:45:42
<Eric> yerp
11:46:01
<Ryan> Sigh, Rocco wouldn't with-hold his own video of Steamboat.
11:46:51
<Ryan> 81, I think Rocco is happily at Giant right now. Do you follow him on the GG FB page in the winter? Yeah, he doesn't like attention. :)
11:47:02
<ynpvisitor47> Thanks Will. That is a great video link.
11:47:28
<Ryan> Guess we can update the GeyserTimes entry - it also says there was video. Rocco called Micah, Micah called me.
11:48:21
<Ryan> Actually: Micah called me excited about his first Giant Hot Period. Then called me again about missing a potential F&M.
11:48:54
<Ryan> He called me AGAIN twenty minutes later and just shouted "STEAMBOAT 810 NEAR START ROCCO HAS VIDEOS AND PHOTOS" in one long runon sentence...
11:49:01
<Ryan> Guess he is having a fun weekend there.
11:49:40
<Ryan> Per Rocco: "The pressure waves were buffeting me in the parking lot." I guess he parked on the road and walked in. I dont blame him.
11:50:38
<Will B> he parked in the lot
11:50:41
<Will B> it is open now
11:51:15
<Eric> ahh, nice
11:51:22
<Ryan> Oh, :)
11:51:39
<Eric> So seeing steamboat and giant erupt in the same day...anyone, ever?
11:51:43
<Ryan> That's his third steamboat water phase. Second from essentially the start.
11:52:05
<Eric> I will be happy for either on my trip
11:52:22
<Ryan> I think one of the Strassers pulled that off in the 1980s.
11:52:58
<Ryan> The question is: if Steamboat is entering a true active phase who will put in the time to sit there?
11:53:00
<Eric> Giant sounds like it's shaking and moving
11:53:27
<Eric> If it has 7 day cycles...count me in!
11:54:35
<Ryan> The 1982 season started the same way with Steamboat having a one month interval and then a week.
11:55:12
<ynpvisitor603> The question I have, will there be any way to tell or is it just gonna randomly erupt
11:55:15
<Eric> well, hopefully I planned a good year to book 2 different weeks at OF
11:55:21
<ynpvisitor603> If it keeps this up
11:55:44
<Eric> I am going to add tantulus creek graph here too
11:56:09
<ynpvisitor603> I know there's been notes on Steamboat about concerted minors and other such observations by Polly
11:56:22
<Ryan> The 1982 season had a predictable pattern but who knows if that is what will happen this time.
11:57:04
<Ryan> That's what I am getting at: who is putting in the ground work for it? If it is doing a 1982 style thing I will likely spend most of my June week at Norris.
11:57:58
<Eric> So the discharge is down to normal, but the temperature is still way hot...what up?
11:59:38
<ynpvisitor999> hmm... Seeing the last 100 Steamboat intervals... there seems to be a some predictability. There was an active phase from pre-1964-1968, then almost 20 years of rare eruptions, then the 1982-1984 active period, then once again 20 years of every now and again a major, a semi-active phase from 2002-2003, followed by about 15 years of low activity
12:00:13
<Eric> What were the intervals in 1982-84?
12:01:21
<ynpvisitor999> about a week to more than 100 days. That more than 100 days is probably related to the disturbance
12:01:22
<ynpvisitor27> where is steamboat interval info?
12:01:47
<ynpvisitor999> https://geysertimes.org/geyser.php?id=Steamboat
12:02:52
<Ryan> 999, in 82-84 there was a pattern to its minor behavior which could be followed to get a good idea of how likely a major eruption was in the next three days or so. That's the kind of pattern that may or may not develop.
12:02:57
<ynpvisitor27> 82-84 info: http://www.gosa.org/oldsite/steamboat.htm
12:06:54
<Ryan> 27, wish we had online access to the full article.
12:12:13
<Dave from B> anyone having page issues?
12:12:46
<ynpvisitor47> Working for me
12:13:27
<Dave from B> Thanks
12:14:05
<Dave from B> Kevin, can you pm me please?
12:20:23
<ynpvisitor44> another short
12:20:58
<Kevin L™> Must be hot. Even OF has its shorts on.
12:24:05
<Will B> booo
12:24:54
<Ryan> haha
12:25:56
<Craig> hey all
12:26:27
<Kevin L™> Hi
12:26:52
<Craig> Kevin when did you get trademarked?
12:27:17
<Kevin L™> Middle of last year. Too many Kevins around!
12:27:26
<Craig> lol
12:28:41
<Kevin L™> One time when I was at the park we had a group of 8 of us, 4 were named Kevin, 3 Karens and I forget the other one.
12:29:20
<Craig> Must be a common name among gazers
12:29:40
<Kevin L™> It was very confusing.
12:29:58
<Craig> I bet!
12:30:22
<Betty> hi Craig
12:30:40
<Craig> hi!
12:32:18
<Ryan> BTW: Happy end of Korean War day...
12:32:34
<Kevin L™> Looking at the park forcast for monday and it is 3-5 inches of snow. We are pushing 100° here today. Hard to think snow!
12:32:55
<Kevin L™> That is amazing Ryan. My Dad is a vet of that war.
12:34:09
<Craig> Looks like i'll be in the park in mid june
12:34:11
<Ryan> :)
12:44:20
<ynpvisitor27> online access to that full article would be good.
12:44:39
<Craig> Ooh we got new emoticons to use
12:45:03
<Kevin L™> Lots of new stuff!
12:45:21
<Craig> Absolutely :grand:
12:47:00
<Kevin L™> We may need new ones for Giant and Steamboat.
12:54:09
<Craig> :sun:
12:55:07
<Kevin L™> Still waiting on the one for Aurum
12:55:42
<ynpvisitor39> 🚢💨 steamboat
12:56:14
<Craig> I don't see those on mine!
12:56:41
<Betty> it´s from the iPhone
12:57:57
<ynpvisitor39> ☄️ Aurum
12:58:00
<ynpvisitor44> how many turbans = grand?
12:58:11
<ynpvisitor39> Oops
12:58:24
<ynpvisitor39> 💥
12:58:49
<Craig> Technically as many as it wants 44
12:59:05
<ynpvisitor44> ok
12:59:31
<Betty> Lion
12:59:48
<Craig> Well it tired
12:59:49
<Betty> water looked out of the cone
12:59:50
<Craig> *tried
12:59:57
<Craig> Minor?
13:00:11
<Betty> series is over
13:00:26
<Betty> 5 1/2 h
13:00:37
<Craig> Last series eruption was at 9
13:00:54
<Betty> but you saw it too?
13:00:59
<Craig> I did
13:01:05
<Betty> good
13:01:09
<Craig> Definitely splashed
13:01:39
<Kevin L™> It was just peeking.
13:01:45
<Craig> :lion:
13:04:34
<Betty> LC
13:05:45
<Betty> water level is high in :lion:
13:09:51
<ynpvisitor47> Snow next week in the UGB :(
13:10:27
<ynpvisitor44> :thumbsdown:
13:11:28
<Kevin L™> :grand:
13:11:37
<Betty> yay
13:12:19
<ynpvisitor44> darn OF window
13:12:51
<Eric> No Giant yet?
13:13:16
<Ryan> Grand :P
13:13:32
<Eric> I like Grand
13:13:53
<Betty> you like every geyser
13:14:09
<Eric> It's true!
13:14:26
<Eric> water shooting from holes in the ground is pretty awesome!
13:14:33
<Betty> yup
13:14:51
<Kevin L™> I see that in my backyard everyday!
13:15:12
<Eric> If your back yard looks like Grand...I will fly down to see it!
13:15:43
<Eric> or better yet....make it like steamboat :-P
13:15:51
<Kevin L™> More like Pink Cone.
13:16:01
<Eric> I was thinking whirlygig
13:16:04
<Betty> fun too
13:16:40
<Kevin L™> I have been trying to get my brother to write some software for a Raspberry Pi to simulate a geyser.
13:17:17
<Kevin L™> A few pumps and it could do overflow, preplay and an eruption.
13:17:55
<Eric> It's true...I actually have a relay switch and pump that would work with the pi :-D
13:18:15
<ynpvisitor47> It would be fun if the Bellagio would have "Geyser Day" in the pool out front.
13:18:33
<Eric> Was going to built a solar water heater that was automated for my costco above ground pool...but ended up returning the pool.
13:18:38
<Betty> the screen of my iPhone shows Grand in full eruption :-)
13:18:58
<Kevin L™> My brother does programmable controllers for Opto22® so that would be right up his line.
13:19:09
<Eric> Larry from Denver knows all about water pumps and making them fountain...ask him about his projects!
13:19:51
<Kevin L™> What would really be fun is to make one that operates on heat and steam.
13:20:07
<Eric> 8m
13:20:15
<Eric> or 9 now I guess
13:20:51
<Jimbo Hafnium> Until next time, I leave with the question - is there a video or not? >(
13:21:07
<Kevin L™> WAY back when I did some work on the fountain at Wayne Newton's house. I was a pool electrician back then. He had it set where it would not go as high when the wind was blowing.
13:21:27
<Eric> nice 2ndish
13:21:34
<Eric> but with no pause
13:22:30
<Eric> paused
13:23:06
<Eric> looks done
13:23:56
<Betty> 6h pause
13:24:06
<Eric> Yep...the long pause
13:24:07
<ynpvisitor47> :)
13:24:22
<Eric> Sounds like a good engraving for my tombstone
13:24:58
<Betty> " he took his long pause"?
13:25:45
<Eric> hmm, gonna have to ponder that
13:36:28
<Betty> LC ie
13:37:05
<Betty> mostly near end
13:37:16
<Betty> hi Kent
13:37:22
<Kent> Amazon says Scott's book comes out on July 2nd.
13:37:29
<Kent> Hey Betty
13:47:59
<Eric> Far anyone that is interested...the data output of tantalus creek discharge for the last 12 hours is: https://waterservices.usgs.gov/nwis/iv/?site=06036940&format=json&period=PT12H¶meterCD=00060
13:48:33
<Eric> Took me a little guessing to get those parameters correct...but now I can build our own graph here :-
13:48:36
<Eric> :-)
13:49:08
<Eric> You can change how much data you want to see by changing the "period" parameter
13:49:22
<Kent> Graph was cool. Discharge just didn't go up, it went straight up.
13:50:31
<Eric> Yep...I am going to do a real time graph here so we will see instantly if Steamboat is discharging
13:51:09
<Dave from B> As always, THANKS ERIC!
13:51:18
<Eric> They update that data every 15 minutes in real time
13:51:56
<Dave from B> oh, that reminds me....We finally finalized Becca's rooms yesterday. You can cancel your search. Thanks!:):):)
13:52:09
<Eric> Wooot!
13:52:14
<Kevin L™> All I get is words and numbers
13:52:28
<Kent> Will be fun if it stays active.
13:52:32
<Dave from B> Isn't that wahat a graph is?
13:53:18
<Eric> Done!
13:53:36
<Eric> Yes, that is the link directly to the data I will build a graph from
13:53:45
<Kevin L™> I don't think it would have variableProperty
13:54:32
<Eric> That format is called json...which is easily usable by web browsers to do fun stuff with
13:54:45
<Eric> It's pretty much universal in web programming now
13:54:53
<Kevin L™> I do remember stuff like that. I could even do base 16 math.
13:57:22
<Dave from B> I sure hope they do something with Norris parking lot soon
14:06:12
<Betty> LC ie
14:23:42
<Betty> time for sleep. night all and sweet dreams of Giant and Steamboat :-)
14:23:56
<Eric> Night betty
14:28:18
<Eric> A nice graph from that earlier data: https://jsfiddle.net/nnvr7q57/1/
14:28:58
<Eric> just need to set the times in MDT and then I can give it a widget here :-D
15:05:10
<Forestbewithyou> Has the video of steamboat been released yet
15:36:27
<ynpvisitor60> Steamboat's start time has been updated to 06:30 on gt
15:37:57
<Eric> Yes and that entry has been flagged...I think there was some confusion on USGS part about seismo action and actual start times.
15:38:54
<Eric> unless water takes 90 minutes to discharge to tantalus....I think the observation is correct.
15:39:32
<ynpvisitor60> that could be the case
15:42:14
<ynpvisitor60> I see it now - had to refresh the page. Yes, good call on the flagged start time.
15:42:58
<Eric> I added the discharge graph to GT for reference
15:43:11
<Eric> dome ie via static
15:53:54
<ynpvisitor90> What time do you think the start was Eric ?
15:57:22
<Eric> It sounds like Rocco got saw it pretty close to start from what was posted here. I would go with his observation until we have actual temperature readings from local devices.
16:00:03
<Eric> But all data is good in my book, I think Mike's observation should definitely be a note on Rocco's entry.
16:00:51
<Eric> Or I should say, the seismo data should be linked in a comment from the original entry.
16:01:40
<ynpvisitor60> And the Tantalus creek cfs data backs up Rocco's observation.
16:04:14
<Eric> Yep, that is what I would correlate, just not sure how long it takes the output from steamboat to reach that gauge
16:43:05
<kcmule> lion
16:45:13
<Kevin L™> How is it going kc?
16:47:14
<kcmule> draft anxiety but otherwise ok
16:47:46
<Kevin L™> Did you see the Knights game yesterday.
16:48:35
<kcmule> just the score
16:49:38
<Kevin L™> Pretty wild game. I think the Sharks were unhappy. About 4m in the 3rd period that wasn't a penalty. Lot of 5 on 3.
16:53:16
<kcmule> I would expect a certain amount of goonery in a game like that, esp game 1 of a series
16:53:21
<kcmule> daisy
16:54:38
<Kevin L™> They were just frustrated. We played our best game and they played their worst. I suspect Saturday will be different. I did feel really bad for Graham. That was a tough loss.
17:19:42
<ynpvisitor89> Split Cone
17:28:21
<Kent> Interesting Steamboat defugalty
17:34:07
<kcmule> hopefully it will dedefugaltate
17:34:38
<Kevin L™> Why can't we just get a good video of that thing?
17:34:54
<Kevin L™> More camera shy than Aurum.
18:15:12
<kcmule> bhi
18:15:15
<kcmule> .
18:15:16
<kcmule> .
18:15:24

18:15:31
<Kevin L™> Wow
18:16:31
<Kevin L™> Do we have a driver?
18:17:26
<Kitt> thanks for the text
18:17:30
<Kevin L™> I can take it if nobody is running it.

18:18:53
<Art> lol
18:19:07
<Art> Looked up and saw indy then saw phone and immediately realized my mistake ;)
18:19:27
<Kitt> your phone needs to whistle
18:19:50
<Kevin L™> Better more dings than no dings.
18:20:01
<Kitt> this is true
18:20:33
<ynpvisitor110> Great conditions tonight
18:20:42
<Kitt> I am also wondering how many Steamboat eruptions we will have before Norris opens up to the public
18:21:11
<Kevin L™> This is a very short BH interval.
18:21:43
<Kitt> isn't over 12 hours
18:21:53
<Kevin L™> Wow. Can't believe that the Kentucky Derby is in a week.
18:22:03
<Kevin L™> 12h18m
18:22:33
<Kitt> I consider very short intervals to be in the 10 to under 12 hour range
18:22:54
<Kitt> I wonder if Little Squirt is due again
18:23:19
<Kevin L™> Susan has one due.
18:23:30
<Kitt> when
18:23:44
<Kevin L™> Think within 3 weeks.
18:24:03
<Kitt> May is good
18:24:19
<Kitt> still in school, but weather is good for outside parties
18:24:25
<Kevin L™> Then there is another in Sep-Oct
18:25:18
<Kitt> nice long indicator
18:25:26
<Kevin L™> Here come some BH customers.
18:25:26
<ynpvisitor110> should be a tall eruption with the light winds
18:25:39
<Kitt> I guess to make up for no indy yesterday
18:25:52
<Kitt> Thar she goes
18:25:54

<Kitt> with 2 lucky people over on the boardwalk
18:26:22
<Kitt> oh, more coming
18:26:22
<Kevin L™> Wonder if they knew.
18:26:42
<Kevin L™> Nice pink hive.
18:26:48
<Kitt> awesome sky
18:27:16
<kcmule> bueno
18:27:29
<Kevin L™> Nice catch kc
18:27:55
<kcmule> tougher to get with the bills pick finally coming up
18:28:17
<Kitt> nice and tall
18:28:23
<ynpvisitor110> that makes two nice evening eruptions this week (with Giant)
18:28:46
<Kevin L™> This is a really good BH
18:29:06
<ynpvisitor76> my lucky day!
18:29:17
<Kevin L™> Amazing geyser week. Who would have though Giant and Steamboat?
18:29:54
<Kevin L™> Love the BH curtain. Went just before it would have been too dark.
18:30:26
<kcmule> looks like it's in slow motion
18:30:40
<Kevin L™> It really does.
18:31:37
<Kitt> well that was enjoyable
18:31:56
<ynpvisitor64> Thanks for text. Beautiful eruption.
18:32:01
<Kevin L™> My wife said that her Dr has the cam on between patients. She was surprised to find out a lot of what she was seeing was being controlled from Vegas.
18:32:21
<Kitt> until tomorrow
18:32:33
<Kevin L™> Thanks kc Good luck on the draft. Hope they get one that knows how to be an American.
18:32:50
<sparekitty> good night, everyone.
18:33:06
<Kevin L™> Night.
18:33:10
<Kevin L™> Great sunset.
18:35:49
<kcmule> shot at grand unless it defugaltates
18:43:42
<Kevin L™> I hate it when geysers defugaltate
18:44:20
<Kent> Get your own word. That one is mine :)
18:44:46
<Kevin L™> You should trademark it!
18:45:10
<ynpvisitor99> cameras are undefugaltaters
18:45:36
<Kent> I'll have to copy the symbol off your ID
18:46:12
<Kevin L™> Hit ALT and hold it down and type 0153 on the keypad.
18:49:53
<Kent> Can't figure it out on a Mac keyboard
18:51:00
<Kevin L™> OK. If I find out I will let you know. It is extended ASCII 0153 if that helps.
18:51:33
<Kent> ™
18:51:47
<Kevin L™> :)
18:52:00
<Kent> option & 2 in combo. Google came through.
18:52:56
<Kevin L™> What would we do without Google. I learned how to make flat cookies on Google today.
18:54:03
<Defugalty™> I pretty much like any shape of cookie
18:54:53
<Kevin L™> :) Somehow round Gingersnaps just did not look right.
18:55:25
<Defugalty™> Love gingersnaps
18:59:51
<ynpvisitor112> Gingersnaps are supposed to be round.
19:00:04
<ynpvisitor112> Not ball shaped, but round
19:00:27
<Kevin L™> Mine were ball shaped
19:00:54
<ynpvisitor112> To geysers, I think the aliens or Russians are messing with our geysers.
19:01:01
<ynpvisitor112> a 12 hour BH?
19:02:50
<Kevin L™> With an Indicator to boot
19:03:38
<Defugalty™> We were very lucky on Beehive. I planned on midnight in the moonlight
19:05:11
<ynpvisitor112> Well, not much to see tonight, other then grand steam.
19:09:51

19:33:50
<Joe> :daisy:
19:37:25
<kcmule> 2nd sunrise
19:37:45
<Joe> nice
19:39:29
<Kevin L™> Should be able to see Jupiter just below the moon right now.
19:45:33
<Defugalty™> Clouds :(
19:48:14
<Joe> OF
20:02:45
<ynpvisitor98> Well that answers my question
20:03:01
<ynpvisitor98> Andrew just posted Grotto Fountain and Grotto
20:03:47
<Joe> Yes nice to have in basin reports
20:04:18
<Joe> to very what we think we see
20:04:27
<ynpvisitor98> Often the first Grotto after Giant can have a huge Grotto Fountain
20:06:53
<ynpvisitor98> I see we have had several Grotto eruptions already
20:10:52
<Joe> this will be the first 7hr+ grand since the 25th
20:12:53
<ynpvisitor98> Lion
20:12:57
<Joe> :lion:
20:14:38
<Defugalty™> Would be fun to be able to point the cam at the moon.
20:15:09
<Kevin L™> Probably couldn't get it due to the dome.
20:15:53
<ynpvisitor98> Besides, if I want to see the moon I just have to go outside
20:17:06
<ynpvisitor98> so if Steamboat started at 0630 E, then when did Rocco get his water video?
20:19:01
<Defugalty™> New Aurum cam with sound will not have a dome. :) Old style cam did have some advantages; wiper, point down to avoid slime. Dome cam has a wonderful image though.
20:20:10
<Defugalty™> 98, that is the defugalty™
20:30:11
