04:52:44
<Dave from B™> Good morning everyone!
04:54:06
<Dave from B™> Is it just me or did Cistern drain real fast this time around?
05:24:08
<ynpvisitor4> Lion?
05:24:38
<Dave from B™> yep
05:26:21
<Stephen G.> Morning Dave! Yes, I also think Cistern did seem to drain faster than it has been this active phase.
05:30:04
<ynpvisitor31> Grand
05:30:50
<ynpvisitor31> This scene would make a nice painting
05:31:57
<Dave from B™> Morning Stephen
05:32:24
<Stephen G.> I agree 31, it does look beautiful out there this morning.
05:39:41
<ynpvisitor31> 10min
05:40:10
<Stephen G.> Looking like it's going to be a 1B
05:41:11
<Dave from B™> Good morning Mike J
05:41:38
<Mike J> Morning Dave. Morning all
05:41:46
<Stephen G.> Morning Mike
05:42:22
<Dave from B™> Stephen, how far do you live from YNP? Are you planning another trip this year?
05:43:04
<ynpvisitor31> Now we wait for Beehive, Riverside and Daisy
05:43:19
<Mike J> What's the steam to the right of Grand?
05:43:48
<Dave from B™> I would think Grotto
05:44:14
<Mike J> Okay. Sounds right. Still getting my morning bearings.
05:44:28
<ynpvisitor31> JimS reported Artemsia at 0734
05:45:03
<Stephen G.> Dave, I live around 8 hours from YNP, in north central South Dakota. And yes! My dad and I are planning to be back in the park for a few days in early August :)
05:46:03
<Dave from B™> That's great. I know you caught SB on your last visit. Have you seen Giant this year?
05:51:50
<Stephen G.> I have not yet this year. I did see Giant the last time it was active it 2007, but not this year yet. I'll be hoping to catch one of the Big 3 on my trip. Will you be back in YNP this year Dave?
05:53:36
<Dave from B™> I'm hoping to do a Steamboat day trip on Sunday if it is ready to go. My overnight trips to YNP are done for this year but I will try and try again to catch Steamboat
05:55:22
<Stephen G.> I'd say that's a good reason to come back to the Park :). I'm really curious to see what it's intervals will be. Steamboat's last eruption did seem to finish up faster than it "usually" has this year.
05:57:20
<Dave from B™> Last 2 Steamboats have been different. It seems when SV is ready NV is not and vice versa
05:57:53
<ynpvisitor31> Riverside
05:59:26
<Stephen G.> They definitely have. It'll be curious if that pattern stays the same, or changes now that it's been out of the disturbance for awhile. I thought what Carol and Bill were posting about Steamboat's runoff channel changing color was interesting.
06:03:22
<Dave from B™> I expect a shorter interval this time around. I'll be curious to see how fast Cistern fills
06:05:59
<Stephen G.> I'll be hoping it is a shorter interval as well. If Steamboat pulls anything from a 10-14 day one again, I likely won't have a chance to see it during my trip. On Cistern, I think Bill said it appeared to have drained, and was boiling in the inner "tube" last night.

<ynpvisitor31> Hi Kevin, BH seems to be waiting for your shift.
06:53:17
<ynpvisitor999®> morning everyone
06:53:34
<ynpvisitor31> Hi 999
06:53:43
<Dave from B™> Hi, DG
06:53:44
<Stephen G.> Morning 999
06:54:09
<Kevin L™> BH does seem to be slow today.
06:54:27
<ynpvisitor999®> saving energy for Giantess
06:54:43
<Dave from B™> Morning Kevin...I didn't see you sneak in.
06:55:01
<Kevin L™> I was very quiet.
06:55:38
<Mike J> Kevin, too hot to do anything but move slowly and quietly
06:56:17
<Kevin L™> Right Mike. Going to be a bad week.
06:56:43
<Mike J> We've got a 115 to 117 coming up. How about you?
06:56:54
<Kevin L™> Same here.
06:57:44
<Dave from B™> At least nobody bumped you out the way today
06:58:08
<ynpvisitor999®> Joe, if you're here, the 0055 ns OF on July 20 (http://geysertimes.org/eruption.php?id=1046617) did not occur at that time. Maybe confused with another eruption on a different day?
07:00:56
<ynpvisitor999®> BA
07:03:16
<ynpvisitor31> I see that DG, thats the third time GT has put my entry some where else I'll correct it
07:03:32
<ynpvisitor999®> Thanks :)
07:04:16
<ynpvisitor999®> nice splashing from Bee
07:05:41
<ynpvisitor31> That should have been on 7/23, i dont understand how it got to the 20th.
07:07:06
<ynpvisitor999®> likely an error in the app - might be useful to report it to the devs

<ynpvisitor999®> morning Eric
07:14:04
<ynpvisitor999®> long time no see
07:14:12
<Dave from B™> Morning Eric
07:14:21
<ynpvisitor31> WB ERic
07:14:31
<Kevin L™> Gives me some time to sleep Joe
07:14:34

<ynpvisitor999®> LC
07:15:48
<Eric> Morning everyone :-D
07:15:59
<Stephen G.> Morning Eric
07:17:48
<Mike J> Never leave your phone in the room with the computer when you leave. You don't hear the dings or get the text. Came back in time
07:18:06
<Eric> hoping I can watch the cam a little more this week....between vacations and catching up on work I haven't been able to spend time here!
07:18:50
<Kevin L™> Work?
07:18:51
<ynpvisitor78> ahh, there is my Beehive :-)
07:19:12
<Betty> morning all
07:19:12
<ynpvisitor999®> afternoon Betty
07:19:16
<Eric> Hi Betty
07:19:16
<Stephen G.> Morning Betty
07:19:18
<Kevin L™> Hi Betty
07:19:25
<Betty> hi DG
07:19:27
<Kevin L™> You are back early
07:19:48
<Betty> yay, Eric is here again. How was holiday?
07:20:20
<Betty> hi Kevin L™ and Stephen G. :-)
07:20:34
<Betty> back early from work??
07:21:25
<Kevin L™> Oh, you haven't left yet.
07:21:38
<ynpvisitor999®> ugh... 95°F predicted for Friday - and I live near the coast
07:21:52
<Betty> to the festival? nope, later
07:21:55
<Dave from B™> Betty, are you done partying yet?:)
07:21:57
<Eric> I had a couple short holidays with the 4th and heading to the beach last week. They were nice and relaxing. Now starting to get ready for my next YNP trip :-D
07:22:09
<Kevin L™> That is going to be my low DG
07:22:23
<Stephen G.> Sounds fun! When are you heading back to YNP Eric?
07:22:32
<Betty> Hi Dave from B™, I did not start for today :-)
07:22:49
<Dave from B™> Now, I can rub it in...highs all week in the perfect 80-85 zone. Take that you desert dwellees!:D
07:23:27
<Kevin L™> Don't have to shovel heat out of the driveway. I'll still take the heat.
07:24:05
<ynpvisitor999®> at least rain and thunder is predicted for that day too, so it'll cool down... by 12°F and then instantly jumps up again to near 86°F for at least the next 7 days
07:24:57
<Eric> Mid August, around the 18th I believe Stephen.
07:25:42
<Stephen G.> Sounds good! I was hoping it'd be early August sometime; my dad and I are heading to YNP for a few days that first week of August.
07:26:25
<Eric> Ahh, bummer. You guys going to try and catch any specific geyser?
07:26:57
<ynpvisitor999®> :bee:
07:27:00
<Eric> BH
07:27:02
<Betty> BH
07:27:22
<Betty> woah, nice light
07:27:37
<Eric> run.....
07:27:46
<ynpvisitor999®> and out of frame
07:27:53
<Stephen G.> We're hoping to catch one of the Big 3, Steamboat would be the priority out of the three. But even if we miss them, it'll still be a fun trip :)
07:28:25
<Kevin L™> Bet there are good rainbows at the Plume benches.
07:28:46
<Eric> Always awesome to be in the basin :-D
07:30:00
<Betty> indy is done
07:30:22
<Betty> lasted long into this BH eruption
07:32:17
<Eric> Nice...well, have to run for a bit...have a good morning everyone.
07:32:46
<Betty> see ya Eric
07:32:49
<Kevin L™> You should have some time before the next one.
07:35:54
<ynpvisitor999®> looks like YNR is out of power
07:40:35
<Betty> LC ie
07:55:11
<ynpvisitor999®> Aurum
07:55:11

07:55:12

07:55:13

07:55:31
<Kevin L™> Nice
07:55:33
<ynpvisitor999®> Lion
07:56:27
<ynpvisitor999®> that's a rather tall Lion if you ask me
07:56:42
<ynpvisitor999®> meanwhile, OF is doing nothing but steaming
07:58:47
<Stephen G.> There's OF
07:59:15
<sparekitty> worth the wait!
07:59:16
<Kevin L™> Glad Aurum went when it did.
07:59:46
<Stephen G.> Definitely! That was a nice OF
08:37:16
<ynpvisitor999®> looks like Cistern is refilling
08:37:43
<Kevin L™> Got your bags packed Dave?
08:38:06
<ynpvisitor999®> "... [water] up to the edge of the inner tube"
08:38:32
<ynpvisitor999®> SB itself is still quiet and gently steaming
08:38:49
<ynpvisitor999®> (all per cb's 0934 SB note)
08:39:45
<Dave from B™> Kevin, my bike is in getting repaired today:)
08:40:22
<Dave from B™> My wife leaves for a week starting Wednesday
08:40:24
<Kevin L™> You need to get one of those with electric assist.
08:40:46
<J. Meitnerium> A wife or a bike?
08:40:55
<ynpvisitor78> :)
08:41:02
<sparekitty> i have a trek e-bike. best thing ever
08:41:09
<Dave from B™> haha
08:49:09
<Dave from B™> Can I request a Sun SB at 1100 please?
08:49:46
<Kevin L™> You can request it - for what good that will do.
08:49:52
<ynpvisitor999®> SC
08:51:41
<ynpvisitor999®> if my 7d12h±24h still counts, I'd say it'll go on July 28 @ 1036±24h
08:51:48
<ynpvisitor999®> though don't take my word for it
08:53:06
<Stephen G.> Who knows, it could be a shorter interval for Steamboat if Cistern is already filling back up.
08:53:22
<Dave from B™> Becca has to work Sat night or this could be a 2 dayer
08:59:22
<Dave from B™> Maybe, I'll do back to back Day trips...flying solo on Sat
09:03:06
<ynpvisitor999®> Daisy
09:26:24
<Betty> festival time...bbl
09:26:39
<ynpvisitor999®> have fun, Betty
09:26:41
<Kevin L™> Bring me back a pretzel
09:26:52
<Stephen G.> Have fun Betty!
10:50:47
<BruceJ> Hi Folks - Happy Monday :p Hope y'all had a great weekend.
10:51:23
<BruceJ> Cistern drained fast, but let's see how it's recovery goes.
10:52:59
<Kevin L™> Hi Bruce
10:53:25
<BruceJ> Hi, Kevin - good weekend?
10:53:30
<Stephen G.> Hey Bruce; hope you had a great weekend as well! I see Cistern is refilling already, per Carol's note.
10:53:55
<Kevin L™> Not bad considering.
10:54:23
<Kevin L™> Did you see the incident with the UP 844?
10:54:30
<BruceJ> Yeah, Cistern is rising! I am hoping for a complete refill after about midnight tonight - that might be a nice omen for this coming weekend.
10:54:50
<BruceJ> Did not see the incident - should I google it?
10:55:27
<Kevin L™> There really isn't much info but a photographer was struck and killed by the train.
10:56:39
<BruceJ> Dang! Sorry to hear THAT! (not trying to be a jerk, but assuming he was a train fan, I think the guy should have known better - ?)
10:57:14
<Kevin L™> I do have to agree and BTW it was a woman!
10:59:13
<BruceJ> My weekend was much calmer. Went to see a special exhibit at the De Young Museum in San Fran - "The Cult of the Machine." Artworks devoted to the age of the machine, tech and industry. Much of it beautiful, much of it chilling. I had hoped for more works devoted to trains, but alas, only a couple. This was a beauty.
10:59:50
<Kevin L™> Sounds interesting.
11:00:57
<BruceJ> https://www.artsy.net/artwork/charles-sheeler-rolling-power
11:01:33
<BruceJ> That painting by Sheeler was a winner.
11:02:25
<Kevin L™> That looks like a NYC Hudson
11:03:33
<BruceJ> That was my first impression too - with the distinctive drivers and especially since it originated in western Massachusetts.
11:03:37
<BruceJ> https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/5/5c/William_Hahn_-_Southern_Pacific_R.R._Station_at_Sacramento.jpg
11:04:00
<BruceJ> This last painting also hangs at the De Young - a longtime favorite fo mine.
11:04:15
<Kevin L™> An outstanding work in oil.
11:04:43
<BruceJ> Surprisingly, Old Town Sac still looks much the same today. Instantly recognizable.
11:04:49
<Kevin L™> The second one would make a great picture puzzle.
11:04:58
<BruceJ> :thumbsup:Yeah!
11:06:49
<BruceJ> FWIW, I hope to be at Steamboat early Friday AM, provided it has not already played.
11:07:06
<BruceJ> And that the system does what I hope it will.
11:07:30
<Kevin L™> I always liked the shows on how things are made. Some of the machines they had on it were incredible.
11:07:53
<Kevin L™> Friday would be good since Dave is talking about going Saturday.
11:08:33
<BruceJ> This spectacularly beautiful Cord Phaeton was also on display.

11:11:28
<Kevin L™> Grand
11:13:04
<BruceJ> I am actually hoping for a Saturday midday eruption. I think if Cistern can fill and overflow by about midnight to 6 am tomorrow, we may be well-placed for such a timing - IF Steamboat is still behaving as it was prior to the disturbance.
11:13:54
<ynpvisitor61> "if" being the operative word :D
11:14:33
<Kevin L™> Well I wish you luck on it.
11:15:54
<BruceJ> Ah, Duality! IF indeed! :D
11:18:22
<ynpvisitor61> will you still go if Cistern fills slowly?
11:19:56
<BruceJ> If Cistern takes longer to fill, say another day, I may still check on it, but I might go to the Upper Basin for the day. At any rate, I intend to keep an eye on the system. You gonna be there, 61?
11:22:46
<Kevin L™> Looks like a 1b

<GO GIANT> no eruption yet?
13:09:50
<Kevin L™> Split cone.
13:09:54
<GO GIANT> not even a bathtub? gee
13:10:40
<Kevin L™> Not an active day.
13:11:02
<GO GIANT> hour difference in the Castle prediction ..... game on!
13:11:53
<Betty> still no pretzel, Kevin
13:12:03
<Betty> hi Graham
13:12:03
<Kevin L™> Darn!
13:12:41
<GO GIANT> pretzel? you have them for all of us except Kevin?
13:13:15
<Betty> shhhh....he does not need to know
13:24:03
<ynpvisitor81> Give Giant a couple more days.
13:27:21
<GO GIANT> why is there no current GF prediction when the eruption time has been entered?
13:28:45
<GO GIANT> over 13h interval, long one. maybe that scared GT
13:30:18
<Kevin L™> You have your NoDoz® Graham?
13:30:45
<GO GIANT> maybe Dome will start :)
13:36:01
<Dave from B™> Graham, how did you score last week when I gave you a list of what you could see that night?
13:40:51
<GO GIANT> i think i quit before the 4th OF, but we saw the hard one Aurum and the rest were easy and didnt overlap
13:41:04
<Betty> time for sleep, night all
13:41:19
<GO GIANT> you only want 1 geyser for Sunday ... hope it works out this time
13:41:26
<Kevin L™> Night Betty
13:41:40
<GO GIANT> night Betty, thanks for the pretzel
13:43:50
<Dave from B™> Let's see how things go the next couple of days
13:43:53
<Dave from B™> nite Betty
13:44:11
<GO GIANT> if it goes Sat you can blame becca
13:46:25
<ynpvisitor114> why blame Becca?
13:46:53
<GO GIANT> she is preventing Daves arrival Sat, she they cant arrive till Sunday
13:46:56
<ynpvisitor114> is she going Saturday?
13:47:25
<Kevin L™> She is earning college money
13:47:46
<Dave from B™> She is working Saturday
13:48:03
<GO GIANT> haha that would be a good one, go Sat to see it since we "know" it will go then
13:48:08
<Dave from B™> So, I could do solo day trip on Sat on with Becca on Sunday but that's a lot of driving
13:48:10
<ynpvisitor114> well i hope the geyser lines up for you this time
13:48:16
<GO GIANT> as dave is planning the Sun trip
13:48:34
<Kevin L™> Castle
13:48:42
<GO GIANT> you both deserve to see it .... good luck
13:49:00
<GO GIANT> GT prediction wins
13:49:26
<GO GIANT> maybe we can get kcmule to come up too
13:49:39
<ynpvisitor114> those predictions were far apart...
13:51:07
<GO GIANT> i know. the prior interval should have neem the long one post minor interval, but it wasnt
13:51:13
<GO GIANT> been
13:53:22
<Kevin L™> Minor?
13:54:09
<GO GIANT> still going
13:54:41
<Kevin L™> Steam is blocking it
13:54:44
<GO GIANT> not a good wind direction
13:55:03
<GO GIANT> you just want it to quit before my shift, i know
13:56:36
<GO GIANT> trying to get Daisy too?
13:56:58
<Kevin L™> Yep
14:00:38
<Kevin L™> There is Daisy
14:00:44
<GO GIANT> daisy
14:01:45
<GO GIANT> are you going to post them?
14:01:53
<ynpvisitor114> when is your shift?
14:02:07
<GO GIANT> now
14:02:28
<Kevin L™> I guess I could
14:03:35
<Dave from B™> ..
14:03:42
<GO GIANT> we have had 8" of rain in the last 3 days with about 6 more to come this week
14:04:00
<GO GIANT> lots of flooding
14:04:05
<Dave from B™> Yuck
14:04:33
<GO GIANT> dewpoints in the 70's, the air is thick with moisture
14:05:00
<Kevin L™> yuck
14:05:27
<GO GIANT> thats 4 years of rain for you Kevin in 3 days
14:05:47
<GO GIANT> lio
14:05:57
<Kevin L™> I saved Lion for you
14:06:04
<ynpvisitor999®> short interval
14:06:18
<GO GIANT> something to watch
14:08:17
<GO GIANT> BTW - Castle was a major
14:09:38
<Kevin L™> I was just updating that,
14:09:51
<Dave from B™> Graham, you might as well go autopilot and take a 2 hour walk
14:10:14
<GO GIANT> well just an hour to be back for Lion
14:10:22
<ynpvisitor114> but Lion...
14:10:35
<GO GIANT> but there will be long gaps tonight
14:11:03
<GO GIANT> i can take a nap like at Steamboat ... someone will yell if it erupts
14:11:35
<GO GIANT> there was a clear correlation between my nap attempts and good minors
14:15:32
<Dave from B™> Hey, Oblong is due:)
14:17:44
<GO GIANT> sounds like it was 1 and done
14:19:11
<GO GIANT> i see two reported on 18th and no more
14:19:13
<GO GIANT> OF
14:25:07
<Dave from B™> So, it erupted the day after the last Giant
14:25:34
<ynpvisitor114> I thought we would see more eruptions posted
14:26:14
<GO GIANT> hope it tries to get going again and succeeds
14:27:01
<ynpvisitor999®> I doubt we'll see Oblong frequently while Giant is active
14:27:38
<Dave from B™> Wasan't Oblong active during the 2007 Giant eruptive period?
14:28:17
