04:55:47
<ynpvisitor999®> morning everyone
05:09:15
<Dave from B™> Good morning DG and other fellow gazers
05:09:23
<ynpvisitor999®> morning Dave
05:13:33
<Dave from B™> Looks like a quite morning. I hope Lion starts soon
05:13:38
<Dave from B™> quiet*
05:14:16
<Dave from B™> I see SB logger is down still
05:15:32
<ynpvisitor37> it updated fine yesterday
05:15:36
<ynpvisitor999®> Echinus logger is still down - the other two, SB and Constant, don't have data yet, though I expect them to show something within an hour or so
05:32:25
<ynpvisitor999®> SC
06:07:35
<J. Oganesson> As heavy as it gets
06:09:10
<ynpvisitor999®> morning Jimbo
06:09:26
<J. Oganesson> Hello!
06:13:49
<ynpvisitor999®> Lion looked promising for a few seconds
06:15:33
<ynpvisitor999®> As for YVO's loggers, it looks like they all failed to upload their data :(
06:16:28
<ynpvisitor999®> might be related to the thunderstorm yesterday afternoon
06:20:30
<Dave from B™> You're not Jackie O this morning?
06:23:07
<J. Oganesson> That one didn't occur to me
06:24:08
<J. Oganesson> But now something else did that wouldn't be proper
06:25:20
<Dave from B™> Yeah...don't go there:)
06:27:02
<J. Oganesson> O-kay
07:06:14
<ynpvisitor999®> Dep?
07:17:30
<Kevin L™> Nice BH splashing.
07:29:23
<Dave from B™> Looks like Dean is Artemesia hunting this morning
07:37:19
<ynpvisitor69> Nice Lion splashing too.
07:37:37
<Kevin L™> Aurum looks dead.
07:38:44
<ynpvisitor69> WTH is that big Tantalus Creek spike from last night?
07:39:23
<ynpvisitor999®> preciptation is the most likely one
07:39:45
<ynpvisitor69> Yeah, that makes sense. Must have been a doozy.
07:39:55
<ynpvisitor999®> one -> cause
07:40:27
<ynpvisitor69> That definition has always made sense to me ;-)
07:48:43
<Dave from B™> wakey wakey Lion
07:49:03
<Dave from B™> For those of you missing Eric he will return Monday
07:52:40
<Rice> Temp still wrong for me, reads 40 deg today.
07:53:40
<Kevin L™> Mine says 54°
07:53:58
<Kevin L™> You may have to toss your cookies.
07:54:40
<Rice> I tossed my cookies, I refreshed, I rebooted, nothing.....
07:57:58
<Dave from B™> Sounds like you should talk to Eric next week when he is back. He may have an idea. Have you updated your browser lately?
07:58:57
<Dave from B™> I love this view...Where else can you see a landscape of this color?
08:01:17
<J. Oganesson> Pamukkale Turkey?
08:03:29
<Dave from B™> Thanks, Jimbo. Didn't even know that place existed. It won't be put on my bucket list. No desire to go to that part of the world.
08:04:03
<Dave from B™> That's Mammoth on steroids
08:04:12
<J. Oganesson> One of the few other places in the world with travertine terrraces
08:05:07
<BruceJ> Anyone been to Thermopolis? Not far from YNP, also has a large travertine pool assemblage.
08:05:20
<Jake> Rice, are you running an adblocker?
08:05:31
<Kevin L™> I bet Joe has been there.
08:06:26
<BruceJ> There are many places with cold travertine terraces - one of the prettiest is at the base of Havasu Falls. We actually have a travertine assemblage not far from me in CA, but it's mostly grown over with forest.
08:08:21
<BruceJ> https://www.beautifulworld.com/north-america/united-states/havasu-falls/
08:09:21
<Mike J> Just looked up the Turkey location. (Not going to try and spell it.) The combination of pools and an ancient Roman site looks incredible
08:10:00
<BruceJ> Thermopolis HS: https://fineartamerica.com/featured/thermopolis-spring-holst-photography.html
08:11:22
<J. Oganesson> Yeah, I was going to note that I meant warm travertine terrace formations and springs. I've seen travertine in Virginia in streams in the Shenandoah Valley.
08:12:20
<BruceJ> The turkey site must be relatively devoid of coloring minerals - it's all white! https://www.alamy.com/stock-photo-pamukkale-cotton-castle-travertine-pools-unesco-heritage-site-turkey-16302372.html
08:15:03
<BruceJ> Maybe the combination of volcanic hot springs and calcium carbonate is a rarity. That sort of make sense, but maybe mostly because of coincidence.
08:20:13
<Kevin L™> Big group.
08:20:27
<Dave from B™> wow
08:21:18
<Dave from B™> They'll be watching a Lion initial soon if that is a ranger tour
08:22:20
<Kevin L™> It does look happy
08:29:05
<BruceJ> Lion was having early-series eruptions late last night - unless it was a short series, and it might have been, a Lion may still be hours away.
08:30:12
<Dave from B™> Series of 2 ended at 2203
08:30:22
<BruceJ> The fourth Lion in series last night would have been in the midnight hour.
08:30:47
<BruceJ> So, we are sure it was only a series of two, and others were not missed?
08:31:18
<ynpvisitor999®> Lion did have some sustained, initial-like splashes twice 1-2 hours ago, so I think it delayed itself by doing that by a few hours
08:33:28
<Dave from B™> Dave M did captures so I'm very positive that non were missed
08:33:52
<BruceJ> OK - I'll accept that.
08:52:20
<ynpvisitor57> No Lion eruption were missed last night. I was expecting a longer series but Lion didn't cooperate.
09:03:51
<BruceJ> OK, cool - thanks ynpv57.
09:05:37
<ynpvisitor999®> Hopefully this results in a long Lion series (and NG would be a welcome addition)
09:06:22
<BruceJ> Indeed! :thumbsup:
09:07:14
<BruceJ> I think it actually did that several weeks ago. Series of two, followed by a long series + many NG minors.
09:09:08
<BruceJ> May 26, NG had a long series. The readily available Lion data do not go back that far.
09:09:39
<ynpvisitor999®> you can add &n= to see more than 100 entries
09:09:54
<ynpvisitor999®> behind the URL
09:10:51
<ynpvisitor999®> Daisy
09:11:24
<Stephen G.> I remember that May 26 series; nobody in the park saw it because everybody was up at Steamboat. All the entries for it were webcam I believe. Would've been nice to see it, but Steamboat took priority :)
09:12:38
<BruceJ> So, Lion did two series of 2 each on the 25th of May, followed by a series of 8 on the morning of the 26th, and then a long series of NGs in the afternoon.
09:13:33
<BruceJ> Several happy people at Daisy :-)
09:20:42
<BruceJ> Waaalll - I gotta go - good fortune with Lion!
09:20:57
<ynpvisitor999®> bye Bruce
09:22:55
<Kevin L™> bye
09:25:10
<ynpvisitor999®> Lion ini
09:26:41
<ynpvisitor999®> and a quick comeback major for Atomizer
09:34:18
<ynpvisitor999®> GRand
09:34:51
<ynpvisitor999®> had a nice tall start
09:45:06
<Kevin L™> Looking like a 1b'
09:45:45
<ynpvisitor999®> b1 done
09:46:37
<ynpvisitor55> I have a long delay. Stop with the spoilers already :)
09:48:12
<Stephen G.> I've got a delay as well... it is nice though. If I'm looking away from the screen, the chat notification gives me time to look for the eruption :)
09:48:24
<Dave from B™> Giant:)
09:48:33
<Dave from B™> sorry, could't resist
09:49:29
<ynpvisitor100> That would be a fast recovery on Giant. Giantess would have been more believable. Kevin would fall for Aurum.
09:49:48
<Stephen G.> Haha Dave; that would've been nice if it was Giant.
09:50:37
<ynpvisitor55> You're in no danger from me, but I won't speak for the rest of the watchers :)
09:50:57
<ynpvisitor999®> G1Q | 11m37s

<ynpvisitor999®> per hk
10:01:51
<ynpvisitor999®> SC ie
10:06:30
<ynpvisitor999®> Micah is at F&M
10:06:43
<ynpvisitor999®> and watching animals
10:08:11
<Dave from B™> haha..yes, he is
10:08:49
<Dave from B™> What animal is next?
10:10:38
<Stephen G.> There's been a few otters around F&M lately... I seem to remember an entry from Tara a couple days ago on otters
10:12:16
<Dave from B™> Yep. a lot of wildlife cross the Firehole between F&M Bridge and Biscuit Basin
10:12:26
<Kevin L™> Otters beat grizzlies
10:12:43
<Dave from B™> I would take an grizzly in that fight
10:14:41
<Dave from B™> company lunch...bbl
10:15:16
<Kevin L™> Watch for Indy
10:47:53
<ynpvisitor999®> New York had its own artificial geyser on the Fifth Ave. a few hours ago

12:01:12
<Jeff in CT> gday, all
12:01:21
<ynpvisitor999®> afternoon Jeff
12:01:35
<Jeff in CT> Maybe a double, :lion::bee:
12:02:36
<Jeff in CT> Little Cub?
12:04:28
<ynpvisitor114> are you asking where it is? To the left of Lion
12:04:47
<ynpvisitor114> it's off now, it only sputters really
12:05:00
<Jeff in CT> Yup, go it, thanks.
12:05:18
<ynpvisitor999®> SC is due too - hopefully I can see it on the static
12:05:38
<ynpvisitor999®> Lion
12:07:03
<ynpvisitor114> BH misses the gazers
12:12:57
<ynpvisitor114> I thought all Lion posts were considered major unless MINOR is attached to them. No need for major on wc posts
12:16:03
<ynpvisitor114> BH
12:16:08
<ynpvisitor999®> :bee:
12:16:34
<Kevin L™> Shower time!
12:16:47
<ynpvisitor117> BH was generous with showers last week with shifting winds
12:16:48
<ynpvisitor999®> wind-blown
12:16:58
<ge (working)> nobody is moving
12:17:04
<J. Oganesson> BEWARE of wind shifts
12:17:31
<Jeff in CT> Highly localized :drizzle:
12:17:38
<ynpvisitor999®> :)
12:18:00
<ge (working)> looks to be hitting the bw by plume
12:18:05
<ynpvisitor114> curtain is in front of bw
12:18:06
<Jeff in CT> Reminds me when we experienced water-fall effect snow at Niagara Falls, intense snow over a distance of about 100 meters
12:18:25
<J. Oganesson> I got that effect last winter
12:18:51
<Kevin L™> Wind shift!
12:19:06
<Jeff in CT> Run!
12:19:15
<ynpvisitor117> should have nice rainbow in that curtain
12:19:34
<Jeff in CT> wrong angle for a rainbow on WC - been waiting a long time for one
12:20:07
<ynpvisitor117> yep - probably great from bw
12:20:25
<ynpvisitor114> odd time of day for a rainbow
12:20:29
<Jeff in CT> sun might be too high, though
12:20:50
<ynpvisitor114> maybe from lower Hams
12:20:52
<ynpvisitor40> Guessing everyones at Steamboat unless they have to work?
12:21:20
<ynpvisitor114> dean and hk are there in basin
12:22:05
<ynpvisitor116> Micah's also at F&M this morning
12:22:22
<ynpvisitor9> nice!
12:23:00
<ynpvisitor116> Rainbows require the sun over your shoulder. To see a rainbow midday, you'd need to be an osprey :-)
12:24:37
<ynpvisitor114> past midday
12:24:48
<ynpvisitor114> and Micah must be at work by now
12:25:13
<ynpvisitor114> no BH post from basin
12:25:19
<ynpvisitor116> A-yupp
12:26:04
<ynpvisitor116> Tara was at Grotto at noontime.
12:34:05
<ynpvisitor114> too bad hk and Suzanne could not enjoy Giant more.
12:34:21
<ynpvisitor114> I am glad he wrote up a little bit about the eruption
12:35:10
<ynpvisitor114> I wonder if Oblong erupting again will change things at Giant
12:37:09
<ynpvisitor116> I wondered the same thing. 11 years ago, we had lots of Giant and lots of Oblongs and lots of Grotto marathons. Not like now.
12:37:38
<ynpvisitor114> time will tell.
12:37:39
<Dave from B™> Why hk and Suzanna not enjoy Giant? becasue of the dark?
12:37:57
<ynpvisitor114> Read about Dave, at www.geysers.org/notes
12:38:11
<ynpvisitor114> they had issues
12:38:31
<ynpvisitor114> he did say about ten folks made it out to see part of it
12:39:08
<ynpvisitor114> I meant to say read about it, dave
12:39:27
<ynpvisitor114> ha ha, no notes about Dave from B in hk's notes
12:40:00
<Dave from B™> haha 114...here I go.brb
12:40:56
<Jake> regarding Lion majors in GT, there's no policy. it's not wrong to mark a major eruption as major! the convention has fallen into only marking minors as minors and majors as nothing. I have marked some majors as major, especially during series with frequent minors
12:42:20
<Jake> just as all geysers erupt and behave differently so too have conventions developed independently for how to record their observations
12:43:29
<Jake> it's pretty harmless with Lion. Giant platform activity, however, is turning into a data mess of competing conventions of how to pigeon-hole observations into the existing GT framework
12:43:51
<ynpvisitor114> noted, I just wondered if that had changed, as normally you do not see major posted next to Lion posts
12:44:19
<ynpvisitor108> wow of
12:44:24
<ynpvisitor114> At Giant, most people make a note of a bijou pause, where as hk posts it as an eruption
12:44:50
<Jake> I like to see the major designation on Lion as it usually means that someone didn't forget to mark it as a minor
12:45:25
<ynpvisitor999®> I marked those two Lions as major because their duration was longer than 4m. I they had a duration shorter than 4m, they wouldn't have the major behind it
12:45:55
<ynpvisitor55> Fluff the magic dragon!
12:46:06
<ynpvisitor114> what about Bijou? Is a pause listed with a comment that it was off for so many minutes supposed to be an eruption post?
12:46:24
<Jake> 999, that's new. so a major major
12:46:38
<ynpvisitor114> will GT post a major major?
12:46:45
<ynpvisitor55> Catch 22?
12:47:56
<Jake> there's no way to mark it is a major major. that would have to be a comment like "no, seriously, this was MAJOR MAJOR"
12:48:21
<Jake> for Bijou, there's this day: https://geysertimes.org/date.php?date=2018-07-17
12:48:41
<Jake> hk is entering Bijou pauses as "eruptions" others enter them as notes
12:49:12
<Jake> there are many variations on this theme between Giant, Giant Hot Period, Bijou, Mastiff (notes & eruptions in all sorts of combinations)
12:50:14
<ynpvisitor114> I was wondering if his geyser log does not have the ability to post notes
12:50:21
<J. Oganesson> Drone video of Kilauea eruption - get your hot dogs ready. https://volcanoes.usgs.gov/observatories/hvo/multimedia_uploads/multimediaFile-2455.mp4
12:52:51
<ynpvisitor116> We saw that last month on a helicopter flight. Lousy seating and poor windows made visual records all but impossible, but that's about what it looked like, with a bit more fountaining.
12:53:38
<ynpvisitor47> I like the Bijous as a time - can see the intervals with one click
12:56:43
<ynpvisitor999®> weak F&M event cycle 1327
13:04:28
<ynpvisitor116> Cam op - could zero in on Lion for a few - ?
13:06:43
<Dave from B™> I've never read HK's posts before. Very very interesting. He has great insight on Giant. He just needs someone to look at his things. Maybe a Sherpa?:D
13:07:15
<Dave from B™> ok..that didn't come out right at all.
13:07:49
<ynpvisitor116> HK has great experience and devotion to the geysers.
13:08:34
<Dave from B™> He is very knowledgable..I just know Becca and I are a little too noisy for his tastes...and I try to respect that as much as possible.
13:09:29
<Dave from B™> But, HK and Suzanne are expert gazers who have much to share with all of us
13:09:58
<ynpvisitor116> Indeed!
13:11:59
<ynpvisitor116> Looks like we have the *possibility* of another 2-play Lion series, just like May 25.
13:15:51
<ynpvisitor116> Lion's Tryin'
13:17:13
<ynpvisitor999®> I think the best chance for a follow-up Lion would be around the 1h14m-1h18m mark
13:18:00
<ynpvisitor116> Even for the third in series?
13:18:21
<ynpvisitor999®> yes
13:18:27
<ynpvisitor116> OK'
13:18:53
<ynpvisitor999®> though I feel more comfortable with a 1h10m±10m window
13:19:33
<ynpvisitor116> That would have been my first impulse too.
13:25:32
<ynpvisitor114> I like that Dave from B, a sherpa to watch after hk and Suzanne's things so they can concentrate on the geysers.
13:27:38
<Dave from B™> 116, just noticed this Lion series has had 3 so far
13:28:04
<Dave from B™> A sherpa with a rickshaw would be even better
13:28:33
<Jake> it could be the sequel to The Devil Wears Prada
13:28:43
<ynpvisitor116> So it does! Still pretty short series unless it kicks into gear shortly.
13:29:58
<Dave from B™> So, hk and Suzanne were involved in GOSA formation with Paul. Who were the other 2 involved?
13:31:20
<ynpvisitor116> In fact, this is part of a long string of short Lion series. Lots of 2s and 3s.
13:34:15
<Jeff in CT> :lion: at 11:24, 12:49, and 14:05 - either over due or done till tomorrow.
13:34:55
<Dave from B™> done until tomorrow or almost tomorrow
13:35:05
<Dave from B™> HI, GRAHAM
13:35:12
<GO SOMETHING> who me?
13:35:30
<GO SOMETHING> still waiting for more Norris news?
13:35:36
<GO SOMETHING> or the F&M cloud?
13:35:36
<ynpvisitor116> Last 7 Lion series 2-3-3-3-3-2-(3).
13:36:03
<Jeff in CT> Any correlation between Lion and rainfall?
13:36:22
<GO SOMETHING> maybe we can get DOme?
13:36:27
<Dave from B™> For tonight, we left you 1 Castle, 2 Daisy's, 1 Grand, 1 Aurum, 4 OF, 1 Riverside
13:36:43
<GO SOMETHING> only 1 Aurum?
13:36:50
<Dave from B™> Dome tomorrow
13:37:15
<Dave from B™> Isn't 1 Aurum hard enough to find?
13:37:55
<GO SOMETHING> we should send Micah up there for reports every hour
13:38:29
<GO SOMETHING> tracking details of the minor vents will keep him happy
13:38:53
<GO SOMETHING> and about as much chance of seeing an eruption as being down at F&M
13:39:57
<Dave from B™> Have we seen any Micah posts today?
13:40:13
<GO SOMETHING> from F&M
13:40:22
<GO SOMETHING> and the non-geyser wildlife reports
13:40:43
<GO SOMETHING> not sure if he is working late shift every day
13:41:53
<Dave from B™> That's right...He was doing his best Marlin Perkins impersonation today

13:42:54
<Dave from B™> Tomorrow, let me know if you got your whole list
13:42:59
<Jake> too easy
13:43:29
<J. Oganesson> Whew, I was getting worried.
13:43:30
<Dave from B™> Should we thru in F&M as well, Jake?
13:43:38
<GO SOMETHING> what time will the second one go before dark?
13:43:40
<ynpvisitor116> :heart:
