<Joe´> Hi DG
05:43:09
<ynpvisitor999®> morning Joe
05:54:15
<Joe´> DG, I do not know if you saw this yesterday, what I saw at Steamboat on 07/09 https://youtu.be/EFis--dv4Mc
05:54:56
<Joe´> ~10am
05:55:27
<ynpvisitor999®> I did see that one
05:55:37
<ynpvisitor999®> but it's always nice to see it again
06:01:33
<ynpvisitor999®> Dep?
06:03:21
<ynpvisitor999®> I really can't tell, but steam above it and steamy runoff would suggest it went
06:15:34
<Joe´> Today is Oh thank heaven for 7-11 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R9ygDjeT_7o :)
06:16:19
<ynpvisitor999®> ...
06:16:36
<ynpvisitor999®> at least it woke me up, felt a bit sleepy
06:23:58
<ynpvisitor999®> That looks more like Depression there
06:25:20
<ynpvisitor999®> I wonder what Dep did @ 0601. Maybe overflow followed by a (partial) drain?
07:06:32
<ynpvisitor999®> morning Dave
07:07:00
<Dave from Bâ„¢> Hi DG

08:00:08
<ynpvisitor999®> and Mike
08:00:37
<Dave from Bâ„¢> Morning Bill, Joe
08:01:00
<Joe´> HI Dave & Bill
08:22:15
<Jimbo Cerium> Hi all
08:22:33
<ynpvisitor999®> morning Jimbo
08:22:45
<Mike J> I've got to get my glasses fixed. I thought it said Jimbo Cranium
08:27:17
<ynpvisitor999®> morning Kevin
08:30:27
<Kevin Lâ„¢> hi
08:32:09
<sparekitty> good morning!
08:32:37
<Kevin Lâ„¢> Morning.
08:34:00
<ynpvisitor999®> morning sparekitty
08:52:11
<Kevin Lâ„¢> Lion looking happy
08:52:23
<Kevin Lâ„¢> Grand
08:52:30
<ynpvisitor999®> Lion ini
08:53:04
<Kevin Lâ„¢> Another all at once day
08:53:18
<ynpvisitor999®> Castle could be soon too
09:02:38
<ynpvisitor999®> 2nd from Grand?
09:02:56
<Kevin Lâ„¢> Nice tall column
09:02:59
<Joe´> yes
09:03:26
<Jimbo Cerium> Just saw it with the lag, definite 2nd
09:10:07
<Joe´> whoppe should make Lion an ini
09:48:26
<Rice> Any Bets on what day the final snow leave Washburn Cam? I igve it about 1 week.
09:52:08
<Jake> big Beehive crowd
09:52:15
<Jake> they must not know that Aurum is DUE
09:52:37
<Dave from Bâ„¢> Does anyone know why Washburn trail closes at midnight tonight?
09:52:54
<Jake> keeping people away from the tower upgrades
09:54:03
<Dave from Bâ„¢> So, this will improve cell service in the park?
09:54:53
<Jake> that's what I gathered
09:55:22
<Jake> if so, I wonder if it will bring Norris into service more often
09:55:38
<Rice> I think they are going trail work also
09:55:43
<Dave from Bâ„¢> That would sure be nice
09:55:54
<Jake> I don't know which tower devices connect to during low visitation periods at Norris
09:56:15
<Jake> the one that services Mammoth or Canyon or West.....
10:26:55
<Dave from Bâ„¢> Dasiy ie
10:29:47
<Rice> We got an Indy
10:30:05
<Rice> let the drooling begin
10:30:06
<ynpvisitor999®> yay
10:30:36
<Craig> Go Bee!
10:30:43
<Kevin Lâ„¢> :)
10:38:13
<Dave from Bâ„¢> Pfew...just in time
10:39:18
<Jimbo Cerium> Good visibility of the water
10:39:36
<ynpvisitor43> Quite the nice OF
10:41:22
<ynpvisitor999®> LC ie/ns
10:42:13
<ynpvisitor43> SteveO leaves tomorrow
10:42:52
<ynpvisitor999®> :bee:
10:46:24
<Kevin Lâ„¢> Somebody is getting wet.
10:49:35
<Dave from Bâ„¢> Hopefully Becca is seeing some wildlife today...She's doing the Lake, Canyon, Tower thing today
10:49:41
<ynpvisitor999®> that was a nice Bee
10:49:59
<Kevin Lâ„¢> She should have stayed the morning.
10:52:02
<Dave from Bâ„¢> Her trip was a parkwide trip; not a gazing one
10:57:10
<ynpvisitor999®> Sprinkler ie
11:13:10
<ynpvisitor999®> 0852 Lion is now marked as initial
11:19:06
<ynpvisitor43> No Steamboat report
11:19:49
<ynpvisitor999®> probably still out of reach of cellphone signal or maybe they'll enter it later today
11:20:36
<ynpvisitor999®> or not much has changed since yesterday (though I'd expect Cistern to be either fully drained or refilling by now)
11:21:07
<Kevin Lâ„¢> Becca is using their bandwidth to talk to Dave
11:21:40
<ynpvisitor999®> that's another possibility :)
11:23:48
<ynpvisitor999®> Lion
11:27:44
<ynpvisitor999®> that was one good Lion
11:28:06
<ynpvisitor999®> I think it'll continue its series
12:08:35
<ynpvisitor999®> notes from SB and co are in
12:10:02
<Jimbo Cerium> wow, just checked World Cup semifinal score
12:11:07
<ynpvisitor999®> 1-0 already for England :)
12:11:13
<Dave from Bâ„¢> That was an early goal
12:13:07
<ynpvisitor4> Don't know if this has been discussed here. Could be interesting http://www.thefutoncritic.com/news/2018/07/09/national-geographic-announces-tv-journalist-josh-elliott-as-host-of-the-summers-biggest-live-event-yellowstone-live-454513/20180709ngc01/
12:15:37
<Dave from Bâ„¢> Sounds fun. Thanks 4
12:18:45
<Dave from Bâ„¢> Eric must be on vacation...haven't seen him for awhile
12:22:56
<ynpvisitor999®> Cistern is down ~3 feet and boiling with yellow water
12:24:36
<ynpvisitor999®> SB is very quiet and gently steaming with occasional weak pushes of steam, but no water. Both runoff channels dry
12:25:37
<ynpvisitor999®> SC ie
12:25:52
<Dave from Bâ„¢> Hi, ge
12:26:01
<ynpvisitor999®> afternoon ge
12:26:19
<ge> Hello to all
12:33:58
<ynpvisitor999®> Lion
12:34:39
<ynpvisitor999®> minor so far
12:34:50
<ynpvisitor999®> though it was a promising start
12:34:57
<ynpvisitor999®> maybe restart soon?
12:35:14
<ynpvisitor999®> yep
12:59:50
<Dave from Bâ„¢> Dizzy Daisy ie
13:12:02
<Kevin Lâ„¢> Sounds like Lion is getting updates.
13:30:30
<Betty> hello all
13:30:41
<ynpvisitor999®> evening Betty
13:30:43
<Kevin Lâ„¢> hi
13:31:01
<Betty> hi DG and Kevin
13:41:44
<ynpvisitor999®> Lion
13:42:52
<ynpvisitor999®> minor so far
13:43:23
<ynpvisitor999®> and restart
13:48:35
<Betty> OF
13:51:25
<ynpvisitor999®> and extra time
14:37:52
<Betty> wow, did not really expect that.
14:38:03
<ynpvisitor999®> me neither
14:39:19
<Betty> they both were favourites of mine, but I´d had all my bets on England
14:41:03
<ynpvisitor43> Croatia guys look happy
14:41:22
<ynpvisitor999®> Guess I'll be rooting for Croatia in the final and stay neutral in the consolation match
14:41:39
<ynpvisitor43> Must be such a bummer to play for 3rd place
14:43:15
<ynpvisitor43> Did you bet money Betty?
14:43:27
<Betty> no
14:43:55
<ynpvisitor43> That’s good
14:44:02
<Betty> :-)
14:44:29
<Jimbo Cerium> France will be strongly favored in the final
14:44:44
<ynpvisitor43> Graham won’t be happy
14:44:56
<Betty> I gave up playing with money on my 2nd trip to Vegas ;-)
14:45:29
<ynpvisitor43> Croatia may surprise France
14:45:45
<Betty> I hopee they will do
14:49:42
<ynpvisitor999®> back to watching geysers
14:53:38
<Betty> Lion
14:55:39
<ynpvisitor999®> no pause? boo
15:05:27
<Jake> GT got over 1k visitors from this article from an Eastern Idaho TV station: https://www.localnews8.com/news/kifi-top-story/steamboat-geyser-erupts-eleventh-time-in-2018/764710399
15:06:11
<Jake> and if you didn't think that geysers can have strong convictions: "USGS said the geyser has decided to follow a semi-regular pattern of erupting"
15:06:44
<ynpvisitor49> Ha
15:07:34
<Betty> Grand
15:07:34
<Jake> Grand ns
15:08:03
<ynpvisitor86> Does semi-regular mean anything?
15:08:40
<Jake> half way to regular
15:08:51
<ynpvisitor86> :)
15:11:23
<Betty> haha
15:11:36
<Dave from Bâ„¢> or halfway to dormancy?
15:11:47
<Dave from Bâ„¢> or irregularity?
15:12:12
<Jake> you're getting them confused. that would be semi-irregular
15:13:37
<ynpvisitor86> How about recently more frequent
15:13:39
<Dave from Bâ„¢> Being the businessman I am...I'm only thinking about how you can actually make some money with increased GT usage
15:15:11
<ynpvisitor999®> 9m
15:16:18
<Jimbo Cerium> Lower activity but no pause
15:18:44
<Jimbo Cerium> Long 1b
15:20:09
<Dave from Bâ„¢> Jake, did Peru win their last World Cup game?
15:20:37
<Jake> yes, meaningless though it was
15:21:37
<Dave from Bâ„¢> Thanks. I was in YNP at the time and didn't remeber result. Glad they made it to the WC. It had been awhile
15:22:04
<Dave from Bâ„¢> I was just thinking in a year, US team will start trying to qualify again
15:22:58
<Betty> time to get some sleep. night all
15:23:02

15:40:16
<ynpvisitor6> Hi guys
15:41:53
<ynpvisitor999®> afternoon 6
15:42:21
<ynpvisitor6> Wondering if any of you are the Webcam operator - if so, thanks for the great shots!
15:47:13
<Dave from Bâ„¢> Time to head out. Brew pub is calling my name. Have a great evening everyone!
15:50:22
<ynpvisitor999®> you too, Dave
15:51:02
<Kevin Lâ„¢> Night Dave
16:04:21
<WHAT HAPPEND?> brew pub sounds good right now
16:04:52
<ynpvisitor999®> Croatia happened
16:05:06
<WHAT HAPPEND?> grrrrr
16:05:15
<WHAT HAPPEND?> hope they beat the froggies
16:05:27
<Kevin Lâ„¢> Same thing that should have happened to the Caps.
16:05:31
<ynpvisitor999®> Croatia won 2-1 after extra time
16:05:58
<Kevin Lâ„¢> It was a commie plot
16:06:18
<ynpvisitor999®> England can become 3rd though, so I guess it's something
16:06:22
<WHAT HAPPEND?> all Trumps fault, he went to Belgium and they lost, then to England
16:07:45
<ynpvisitor999®> Croatia did seem to have the overhand after England made a goal in the 6th minute and in general they seemed better organized than England
16:08:19
<WHAT HAPPEND?> i didnt get to watch it ... probably a good thing
16:32:48
<WHAT HAPPEND?> you didnt leave much for us to watch tonight
16:33:19
<Kevin Lâ„¢> No Aurum so far
16:43:31
<ynpvisitor999®> Castle seems to be up to something
16:43:52
<WHAT HAPPEND?> probably splashing from time to time
16:45:09
<Kent> Never been on the Roosevelt cookout. Is it worth the effort?
16:45:39
<Kevin Lâ„¢> Xanterra food? Think about it.
16:45:52
<Kent> :)
16:46:12
<WHAT HAPPEND?> haha ... do they serve alcohol, that would help. never been on it
16:46:49
<Kent> $63 which doesn't include the tax or utility fee.
16:47:03
<Kent> 1646 Fluffy wc my box
16:47:45
<WHAT HAPPEND?> so thats the ride and food ..... i guess not bad for a premium location. i think it gets good reviews
16:48:40
<Kent> I think I am going to go just to say I have done it. There is still space available on the wagon.
16:49:01
<Kevin Lâ„¢> Let us know.
16:49:11
<WHAT HAPPEND?> have fun. when are you going?
16:49:31
<Kent> August 15th
16:51:04
<WHAT HAPPEND?> i see the DUrango Silverton steam train resumes service tomorrow, yeah
16:54:40
<WHAT HAPPEND?> looks like GT must have been a minute ahead of VEC time ... unlesee they changed the window
17:06:50
<Kevin Lâ„¢> Nice to see that the D&SNG is back to steam. I was just over watching the train come in on the Cumbres & Toltec.
17:07:33
<WHAT HAPPEND?> and they have 2 beer tasting runs in Sept :)
17:07:48
<WHAT HAPPEND?> maybe that will get kcmule there'
17:08:45
<Kevin Lâ„¢> My friend runs his train there in August sometimes. Since it is a woodburner they may not let him do it this year.
17:12:36
<WHAT HAPPEND?> bet its complicated to organize that
17:13:58
<Kevin Lâ„¢> They have to place wood piles along the way and since it is smaller than the normal engines it takes more water stops too.
17:19:11
<WHAT HAPPEND?> have you ever ridden on it?
17:20:04
<Kevin Lâ„¢> D&SNG or Dan's train?
17:20:05
<WHAT HAPPEND?> another Bulgers Hole eruption
17:20:16
<WHAT HAPPEND?> Dan's
17:20:41
<Kevin Lâ„¢> Yes, but only on the Museum tracks.
18:12:17
<ynpvisitor...â„> Castle keeps giving hints but so far no cigar :(
18:13:12
<ynpvisitor999®> There it is
18:13:18
<ynpvisitor999®> at last
18:13:28
<ynpvisitor...â„> Standing by here
18:13:31
<WHAT HAPPEND?> yep

18:16:51
<ynpvisitor999®> Daisy
18:19:15
<WHAT HAPPEND?> all erupt while waiting for fluffy
18:19:58
<Kevin Lâ„¢> And Aurum will erupt when Fluffy steam blocks the view.
18:21:28
<WHAT HAPPEND?> or when cam finally gets to zoom in on Castle
18:24:55
<ynpvisitor999®> SC
18:27:57
<Kevin Lâ„¢> Castle may be over before OF erupts.
18:43:22
<Kevin Lâ„¢> Here is a video of Dan's train Graham. You can see me loading wood into the tender at the start of it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z0AWWpD9zTk
18:49:39
<ynpvisitor...â„> Beehive 0100 with zero moon. Really going to be a crowd pleaser. I hope it sets us up for tomorrow evening.🤞
18:57:02
<WHAT HAPPEND?> nice video Kevin, bet that keeps him busy
18:59:02
<Kevin Lâ„¢> He is working on a passenger car for it. Been doing it for 20 years now. He made the flat car you saw including the metal castings on it.
18:59:49
<WHAT HAPPEND?> zero moon and clear sky means lots of stars and the milky way
19:12:01
<ynpvisitor999®> I'm calling it a day, have a great evening everyone
19:12:20
<WHAT HAPPEND?> goodnight
19:12:43

<ynpvisitor58> Major depression, I think they have pills for that.
19:34:26
<WHAT HAPPEND?> i am quitting early as theres nothing much left ... goodnight
19:37:25
