05:49:01
<ynpvisitor35> I bet Dave broke the streaming.
06:02:34
<Dave from B™> Good morning everyone. I'm being blamed when I'm not here again?
06:04:23
<ynpvisitor30> It is always your fault Dave.
06:06:03
<Dave from B™> Morning Kevin
06:12:12
<Dave from B™> Where's the snow?
06:12:41
<ynpvisitor38> Check out Washburn cam ;)
06:13:06
<ynpvisitor38> Looks like mixed precip on lake cam
06:13:08
<ynpvisitor94> And we're live
06:13:14
<ynpvisitor94> And we can't see a thing
06:13:21
<ynpvisitor94> And this is Jimbo
06:13:52
<Jimbo Plutonium> And I'm radioactive
06:21:26
<Kevin L™> The Alps got a dusting yesterday: http://webtv.feratel.com/webtv/?cam=3007&design=v3&c0=1&c2=1&lg=en&pg=69812F0A-F47A-406D-B02C-3B3202B8A4BB&s=0
06:34:12
<Jimbo Plutonium> Thanks Kevin - there's a paraglider on the Fussen cam
06:34:59
<Jimbo Plutonium> I think that's not live
06:36:16
<Jimbo Plutonium> Well, the live video is checked
06:43:49
<ynpvisitor83> is that bulgers hole to the left of tree?
06:45:19
<ynpvisitor83> left of spasmodic
06:47:50
<Kevin L™> I am not sure how the "live video" works on the Alps site, but I don't think it is really totally live. Some of the most beautiful country in the world there though.
06:50:39
<Jimbo Plutonium> I found some recorded scans - probably more live during ski season
06:53:13
<Dave from B™> 83, I believe Bulger and Penta can be seen from that whole in the trees...not sure about Bulger's Hole
06:53:48
<ynpvisitor83> tka Dave, Does anyone know how art came out on his rental car that was damaged by Steamboat?
06:54:31
<Dave from B™> I haven't seen Art around here for months
06:55:27
<ynpvisitor83> I saw quite a few cars last week sporting the steamboat signature paint job and glass etching, it did not look good
06:56:37
<Dave from B™> I still think NPS needs to put up a warning sign in Norris parking lot
06:57:49
<ynpvisitor83> Some cars look brand-new probably rentals if not I'll bet the owners were very unhappy
06:59:36
<ynpvisitor83> Udo Was parked in the Overflow and his car got slimed
07:00:35
<Dave from B™> Sounds like my main road turnout is the only safe spot in the area
07:02:22
<Kevin L™> I think Art said he didn't have a problem returning it. He did mention that he had the insurance on it though.
07:03:39
<ynpvisitor83> I guess I got lucky in a way, I was on my way in and was at fishing Bridge at 11:43 when Steamboat erupted
07:16:12
<ynpvisitor38> Grand?
07:16:36
<ynpvisitor83> yep
07:16:59
<ynpvisitor38> Couldn't tell if rain droplet was just making Turban look cool :)
07:20:08
<ynpvisitor64> ynpvisitor83, The rental car was pretty badly/visibly wrecked. Usually after dropping it off they would send a receipt when the rental car agency opened in Bozeman. Didn't get one for over a week. Never had to use insurance.
07:20:57
<ynpvisitor83> tks, 64
07:21:00
<ynpvisitor64> Guessing they had to send it out to get detailed and it came off. Beverlys reported that 3M detailing products worked
07:22:56
<ynpvisitor64> So Rubbing Compound, Machine Polish then Hand Glaze
07:24:46
<ynpvisitor1 (Ri> I got #1 today, I feel special!
07:25:18
<ynpvisitor1 (Ri> You could always leave the slim on your car, and wear it as a badge of honor, You Saw Steamboat!
07:25:56
<ynpvisitor83> It's not often we get to be number 1
07:26:46
<Dave from B™> I thought I was #1 in everybody's book:D
07:26:57
<ynpvisitor83> :):)
07:34:18
<Rice> Been away for two weeks, so I see we had a Steamboar Giant and F&M, what else has been going on?
07:34:43
<Dave from B™> MORNING ERUPTED!
07:50:27
<ynpvisitor19> Kevin must be planning a trip to the park.
07:51:02
<Kevin L™> I am playing Suzy Homemaker this morning.
07:53:32
<Dave from B™> What kind of cookies?
07:54:05
<Kevin L™> Dinner rolls
07:54:06
<ynpvisitor19> Cookies, I was thinking a cake.
07:56:49
<Kevin L™> Not much better than a hot roll right from the oven.
07:57:40
<ynpvisitor19> Warm soft pretzels?
08:00:09
<Kevin L™> I am working on those. I have buttermilk biscuits down along with the dinner rolls. Pretzels are next.
08:01:07
<ynpvisitor19> Isn't it late for you to have biscuits and gravy?
08:01:56
<ynpvisitor19> Need to do doughnuts so you can use up some of those lemons with a nice filling.
08:02:41
<ynpvisitor19> Got to step away, enjoy the warm food talk, the people in the basin need it.
08:04:02
<Kevin L™> Only 0900 here.
08:04:17
<Kevin L™> Just did a sausage and cheese biscuit anyway.
08:09:39
<Eric> Morning all :-D
08:09:47
<Eric> Back on the dark side....
08:09:50
<Kevin L™> Morning.
08:09:58
<Dave from B™> Morning Eric
08:10:20
<Eric> snowman is back on the washburn cam :-D
08:13:11
<Eric> wow...another fan and mortar!
08:13:29
<Eric> went as I was driving out of the park.
08:13:40
<Eric> Glad Brian R got it!
08:13:54
<Eric> If he left Grotto long enough to watch :-D
08:14:13
<ynpvisitor23> He didn’t get the start
08:14:59
<Eric> Thanks 23....I assumed he caught it while watching grotto
08:17:15
<Eric> Nice 3.5 day interval
08:17:30
<Kevin L™> You did have a good trip though.
08:17:50
<Eric> Yep, got my 2 goals complete, giant and F&M from the start of their cycles
08:18:33
<Eric> Even got to call F&M through it's events
08:19:24
<Eric> Met a bunch of gazers I had not met in person before and had a great time.
08:19:49
<Eric> Saw a bunch of fountains :-P
08:19:58
<Kevin L™> Sounded like you were having a good time.
08:20:51
<Kevin L™> Looks like we missed Aurum this morning.
08:21:59
<Dave from B™> Eric, I'm glad you completed your Big 3 collection this year
08:22:54
<Eric> Yes, it was great to get them and glad I got lucky enough to be there at the right times!
08:22:55
<Dave from B™> The closest I ever got to your house was WA 14 and I-5 intersection
08:23:09
<Eric> That was pretty close :-D
08:23:31
<Kevin L™> Was Becca glad to be back there?
08:23:56
<Eric> and did you have a blast dune buggying on the coast?
08:24:10
<Dave from B™> I think so but she likes to complain about everything so who knows for sure.
08:24:28
<Dave from B™> Dune buggying was great. The kids even sandboarded
08:24:29
<Kevin L™> :) Been there. Done that!
08:24:54
<Dave from B™> Thor's Well was cool as well
08:25:22
<Kevin L™> When do you take your Son to school?
08:26:09
<Dave from B™> We leave Sept 18
08:26:18
<Dave from B™> He's getting very nervous
08:27:07
<Kevin L™> BTW Amazon has the 5th Edition (not to be confused with a Kenny Rogers band) on sale for $17.
08:27:22
<Kevin L™> Of T Scott's book.
08:28:39
<Kevin L™> Daisy ie
08:30:40
<Kevin L™> I had another fun weekend. Out less than 3 year old Samsung washer decided not to work. Talked to a repairman and he wanted $200 just to look at it and said from our description the repair would be $400 plus WHEN they got the part which could be 2 to 4 weeks.
08:33:45
<Kevin L™> Needless to say that thing is gone. You would not believe how nuts it was to buy a new Whirlpool. Lowes only had 3 in town, of course not at my store, Home Depot had none and it would take a week to 10 days to get one. RC Willey had none closer than Salt Lake.
08:34:54
<Kevin L™> Lowes would not let you pay for one at a store that did not have one and have it sent from one that did. We ended up taking longer to buy a washer than it took me to buy my last car.
08:36:58
<ynpvisitor23> I just went through that Kevin. My 3 yr old washer also was too expensive to fix. I bought a Whirlpool
08:37:19
<ynpvisitor23> I hope this one lasts more than 3 years!!
08:38:58
<Dave from B™> What do you guys do to your washers. I've had 2 in the last 27 years
08:39:13
<Kevin L™> Then my Son learned about full moon racing. After spending $400 and about 100 hours of work fixing his car that he crashed in practice at the last race he got it on the track and it seemed to be going great in practice. They threw the green flag and the guy in front of him spun into the infield. My kid went up the track and all of a sudden the other guy's car went up and my kid hit it.
08:39:50
<Kevin L™> Right in the drivers door. My kid came out OK but they had to bring the ambulance and haul the other guy to the hospital.
08:39:53
<ynpvisitor23> They don’t make them like they used to Dave!
08:40:08
<Dave from B™> I guess not
08:42:00
<Kevin L™> I think the one we had before lasted about 16 years. I had one I bought used in the 70's that I used for 10 years then gave to my brother and he used it another 10!
08:43:08
<Kevin L™> I guess Samsung does not have a good reputation for appliances. When we got our fridge the salesman told us not to buy a Samsung even though he sold them!
08:44:06
<Dave from B™> We usually only buy Whirlpool...Our top loader has been great
08:45:35
<Dave from B™> Samsung is great for TV's and call phones
08:46:53
<Kevin L™> The dryer we have is a Whirlpool and it is about 20 years old. We had to do a few things but nothing too major. Put in new belt, tensioner, rollerbearings, and gas valve solenoids. Think the total cost on those things were $75.
08:47:35
<Kevin L™> I do have a Samsung Phone and I have seen good reports on TV. Just avoid the appliances!
08:48:23
<Dave from B™> I have 3 Samsung TV's in the house
08:51:58
<Kevin L™> I have a JVC that is terrible on OTA channels. Other functions are fine, but a $20 OTA tuner picks up more channels and shows them better than the TV.
08:52:23
<Eric> My washer went wacky Kevin, I ended up doing a little self fixing and found that my wire harness in the back was rubbing in a bad spot and had worn off the cable sheath and was shorting on the washer frame.
08:53:10
<Eric> They bundle up the wires super tight and stretch them near the frame, with all the vibration, I think it's a common issue to have them break or short due to rubbing.
08:53:58
<Eric> If your washer is doing intermittent weird stuff, check your cables inside the back of your washer.
08:54:20
<ynpvisitor19> The new $1000 washers seem to be junk. I am on my 2nd free used washer in like 20 years.
08:54:26
<Kevin L™> That is strange Eric. This one seemed to be alive but it would not fill with water.
08:55:02
<Eric> ohh, mine was in the spin cycle...strange erratic spinning.
08:55:22
<Kevin L™> More bells and whistles = more problems.
08:55:44
<Eric> Yep...definitely an appliance salesmans dream :-P
08:56:40
<ynpvisitor23> no line at West Gate today
08:56:45
<ynpvisitor19> No fill? Maybe a new policy from the city to save water.
08:56:59
<ynpvisitor19> No line to get out where it is warm?
08:57:01
<Jimbo Plutonium> School is back in session lots of places
08:57:36
<Kevin L™> Ours has been going for 2 weeks
08:58:14
<ynpvisitor19> Only 2 campgrounds full.
08:58:21
<ynpvisitor23> I think it will be nice and peaceful in park until Thursday morning when LD crowd starts
08:58:41
<ynpvisitor23> and the SNOW warnings all over the internet probably scared campers away
08:58:47
<ynpvisitor23> mostly a rain event now
08:59:16
<Jimbo Plutonium> Yeah, it varies. Maryland passed a law last year to start after Labor Day. Then we had lots of icy mornings (but not much snow) and even a wind storm closing. Districts had to ask for waivers to end the school year before mid-June.
08:59:19
<Kevin L™> That is as bad as snow if you are camping.
08:59:54
<ynpvisitor19> I hear it may snow in Vegas, that is why Kevin is baking.
09:00:49
<ynpvisitor23> SB likes bad weather, maybe it will go early
09:00:58
<Kevin L™> It is cooling off. I think we have forecast highs under 100° this week!
09:03:23
<ynpvisitor23> Cistern refill was fast, who knows?
09:07:58
<Stephen G.> I know the Cistern refill was fast, but I seem to remember the fill being fast after the 07/20 eruption, and it's interval was still 14 days.
09:09:33
<Kevin L™> BH looking perky for only 6h
09:12:28
<Kevin L™> Looks like snow in the mountains on radar.
09:15:18
<ynpvisitor23> looks like the storm went farther north than they expected too
09:19:06
<Kevin L™> It is looking for Dave
09:19:37
<Dave from B™> We didn't get very much rain this morning
09:22:17
<Dave from B™> So, at what point did Fountain intervals lengthen and do you think any other Mornings were missed?
09:27:46
<ynpvisitor23> no one knows about Fountain for sure. Bill uploaded the data and it was corrupted, so it is all a guess.
09:28:01
<ynpvisitor23> End of July, beginning of August, for the switch in intervals?
09:28:45
<ynpvisitor23> people were reporting good Morning boils for weeks
09:31:22
<Kevin L™> Is it just me or has streaming gone very choppy?
09:31:51
<Dave from B™> mine sttopped
09:32:12
<Kevin L™> Mine dies too.
09:32:27
<Dave from B™> I have the dreaded X
09:32:33
<Kevin L™> Lost controls too
09:32:48
<ynpvisitor19> I knew Kevin had something to do with it!
09:34:14
<Kevin L™> Dave broke it.
09:38:49
<ynpvisitor19> Well got to go, hope cam comes back soon.
09:43:03
<Jimbo Plutonium> Back
09:45:06
<Kevin L™> Still seems jerky
09:51:31
<ynpvisitor999®> yay! SC to greet me :)
09:52:23
<Dave from B™> How come you guys replaced the color cam with this black and white one?
09:53:14
<ynpvisitor999®> SC is sad because I have to go to school again
09:53:21
<ynpvisitor999®> so that's probably why
09:54:20
<Dave from B™> Can you stay at home or are you moving for school?
09:54:46
<ynpvisitor999®> I go by train to school
09:55:19
<Dave from B™> nice
09:55:46
<Jimbo Plutonium> Where are you again, 999?
09:55:51
<ynpvisitor999®> Netherlands
09:56:11
<Jimbo Plutonium> Got it
09:57:11
<Kevin L™> Doesn't take too long to get from border to border in the Netherlands.
09:58:22
<ynpvisitor999®> I remember that when we went on holiday in the Netherlands, I called a 2h drive long
09:59:04
<Kevin L™> I think going up Rainbow Canyon from here is longer!
09:59:30
<Dave from B™> That's funny. I did almost 13 hours last Monday
10:01:00
<ynpvisitor999®> that looks like Dep
10:01:20
<Kevin L™> My Rainbow trip is 275 km one way DG.
10:01:59
<ynpvisitor999®> my family would have their mouths wide open now :D
10:03:00
<Kevin L™> That is just a fun day trip for me!
10:03:28
<ynpvisitor999®> the other day I measured the length between SLC airport and west entrance (for later). Totalled at 523 km and a bit
10:04:10
<Kevin L™> That is about the halfway point for me.
10:04:12
<Dave from B™> Closer to fly into Bozeman or Billings
10:05:37
<ynpvisitor999®> I was thinking about flying from SLC to West Yellowstone, though I have no idea if that's reasonable. As it currently looks, it'll be my first ever time flying when I finally go to Yellowstone
10:06:00
<Kevin L™> BTW DG about 75 km of that trip is on dirt roads.
10:06:35
<ynpvisitor999®> from your place to Rainbow Canyon?
10:06:43
<Kevin L™> Yes.
10:07:02
<Kevin L™> And there is NOTHING out there!
10:08:21
<ynpvisitor999®> ugh... here you have every so often (probably every 5-10 km on average) some signs of civilization (either a gas station or a village/city)
10:09:25
<ynpvisitor999®> and, most of all, all the roads generally have tens to hundreds of cars on them at a given time during the day (except some local roads)
10:09:53
<ynpvisitor999®> within viewing distance, that is
10:10:58
<Dave from B™> DG, don't fly to West...car rentals and plane tickets are too expensive
10:11:34
<ynpvisitor999®> fair enough
10:13:01
<ynpvisitor1> Bozeman is the best airport for flights and cars - fly KLM/elta through Minneapolis
10:13:33
<ynpvisitor1> you can also stock up on food in Bozeman
10:14:13
<ynpvisitor23> If you get a good connection to West, it is sometimes NOT more expensive and saves a lot of time
10:14:23
<ynpvisitor1> East entrance is back open but watch for icy spots
10:14:35
<Kevin L™> Here is a timelapse video of the Rainbow Canyon area. Dirt road starts at 4:40 in. (Kane Springs Wash Road). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zAGNxtMbqms
10:14:45
<ynpvisitor1> true if you dont need a car there
10:14:53
<ynpvisitor23> If you fly Delta, getting to West is not much more expensive
10:15:11
<ynpvisitor1> car rentals were/are very expensive tho
10:15:20
<ynpvisitor23> I have never checked car rental rates there, though if DG was staying in area, I would not think they would be so bad
10:15:31
<ynpvisitor1> and from netherlands MSP would be quicker
10:15:41
<ynpvisitor23> why>
10:15:45
<ynpvisitor23> ?
10:16:02
<ynpvisitor1> you fly over it for a couple of hours before getting to SLC
10:16:06
<Kevin L™> You could rent one of those $20 a day local U-Haul trucks...
10:16:28
<ynpvisitor1> if theres a U-Haul in West
10:16:30
<ynpvisitor23> well, he has to fly to Bozeman from MSP, let's not be too silly here
10:16:34
<ynpvisitor1> nad then pay mileage
10:16:37
<Kevin L™> There is
10:16:53
<ynpvisitor1> the mileage would be a killer tho
10:17:36
<ynpvisitor23> sun out at West Gate
10:18:30
<ynpvisitor23> temp dropped in basin, interesting, from 43 to 38 now
10:18:30
<Kevin L™> I see blue here too!
10:18:45
<ynpvisitor1> agree flying into West is nice tho, very quick to get into the park in the afternoon.
10:19:29
<Kevin L™> BTW HK & Suzanne got an Oblong yesterday.
10:19:36
<ynpvisitor1> airfare into West is subsidized
10:19:43
<ynpvisitor999®> I've seen that, Kevin
10:20:36
<Eric> I like flying into bozeman, nice airport, quick/cheap rentals and better options for stocking up on supplies
10:20:41
<ynpvisitor1> nice Oblong...chat yesterday had 19:52:49 ‹GO GIANT› steam in oblong area
10:22:12
<ynpvisitor999®> as for flying to West Yellowstone, personally I care more about time spent in the park than money. Of course every penny saved is always fun, but as I'm probably going to be there only once (maybe twice if I'm lucky) every year, I may as well maximize the time I have
10:22:41
<ynpvisitor23> I agree, at least look at it as an option
10:22:55
<ynpvisitor999®> indeed
10:22:59
<ynpvisitor23> if you spend $20 more on food, so be it
10:23:46
<ynpvisitor23> first you will have to be old enough to drive!
10:24:06
<ynpvisitor1> is it a 21 limit for rentals? or 25?
10:24:13
<ynpvisitor999®> I need to get my driver's license first, though
10:24:15
<Dave from B™> 25
10:24:31
<ynpvisitor23> 25 for renting the car
10:24:51
<ynpvisitor23> so that will be a limitation for you DG, unless you come with someone older
10:25:23
<ynpvisitor1> silly age really since at 18 they can drive tanks and planes
10:25:47
<ynpvisitor23> you would think 21 would be fine, for insurance purposes
10:26:51
<Dave from B™> I imagine rental companies get better insurance rates with no drivers under 25
10:28:03
<ynpvisitor999®> I don't think insurance will be an issue for me, as it's mandatory to have one here (or else you'll have to pay for iterally everything yourself)
10:28:42
<ynpvisitor23> it's a US policy DG
10:28:50
<ynpvisitor23> no car rentals for people under 25
10:28:58
<ynpvisitor23> not as primary driver
10:30:10
<Kevin L™> Studies show that the brain does not fully develop until age 25. Under that they find you do some strange things. That is why they don't rent to people under 25.
10:30:56
<Eric> I have been to yellowstone, people older than 25 do strange things as well!
10:31:07
<Kevin L™> Very true.
10:31:08
<ynpvisitor999®> anyway, so far it looks like I'll be done with my IT study at age 21, then get a job and save up for Yellowstone (and pay off my study debts). Maybe I'll go to New Zealand or Iceland first (I'd imagine Iceland is cheaper)
10:31:09
<Dave from B™> Eric, what did you do?:D
10:31:48
<Kevin L™> Iceland should not be too bad for you.
10:31:58
<Eric> In my day long sit at F&M I got really tired of yelling at chinese tourists to get off the edge of spiteful!
10:45:29
<Dave from B™> It seems other countries must have different rules at their national parks
10:47:40
<ynpvisitor23> is that plume from Rocket?
10:47:52
<ynpvisitor999®> 1238 maj
10:47:55
<ynpvisitor23> no, too long ago
10:48:06
<ynpvisitor23> maybe grotto
10:48:13
<ynpvisitor999®> I'd say so
10:49:03
<Kevin L™> With the temp and humidity I think the steam is more pronounced today.
10:50:25
<Eric> Well, lots of other americans were doing stupid things too, not just relegated to chinese tourists. I just think CTOUR should be banned from all national parks as there groups dominate the bad behavior.
10:51:34
<Dave from B™> True, Eric. touring companies who have many offenders should be banned
10:52:00
<Betty> Hi all
10:52:00
<Kevin L™> Hi Betty
10:52:06
<ynpvisitor999®> evening Betty
10:52:24
<Eric> Hi Betty
10:52:33
<Dave from B™> Hi Betty
10:52:47
<Eric> CTOUR and Seagull tours, all yellow buses and yellow flags == horrible behavior!
10:52:48
<Betty> hi Kevin and DG and Eric and Dave
10:54:35
<ynpvisitor23> their guides should be fined at least
10:54:37
<Betty> sneaking in after Dinner and before Bar
10:54:55
<Betty> are you back home Eric?
10:55:05
<Dave from B™> Aren't you supposed to go to the bar first?
10:55:07
<Kevin L™> They should make all tour groups responsible for behavior and fine then ban them if they have issues
10:55:34
<Betty> nope, after :)
10:55:42
<Kevin L™> Beer is desert there Dave.
10:56:18
<Betty> thx Kevin. Couldnt tell better
10:56:50
<Eric> I am back home :-(
10:57:04
<Eric> Learned a ton and had a great time
10:57:14
<Dave from B™> When do you eat cake or ice cream?
10:57:26
<Eric> Got a walk up arty too!
10:58:11
<Betty> Before Bar
10:58:20
<Eric> Was tired of sitting all day so I threw on bike shorts and a tshirt, with really no gear and trucked down to arty...I was the only one there, didn't even have a radio with me and it erupted :-P
10:58:24
<Betty> nice Eric
10:58:47
<Eric> about 3 minutes after I arrived.
11:00:39
<Dave from B™> That brings up an interesting question... how long are you allowed to wait before it's not a "walkup" anymore?
11:01:29
<Betty> Bbl
11:01:44
<Kevin L™> Nasty looking clouds
11:05:55
<ynpvisitor25> Lion ini?
11:06:30
<Kevin L™> I don't see it
11:07:14
<ynpvisitor25> Was a small roar, and I am delayed, so it was over before I typed.
11:10:30
<ynpvisitor23> we would have seen the ini
11:22:24
<Eric> Dave, for arty if you are there less than 1/2 hour, it's a walkup :-D
11:22:59
<Eric> especially if you have no prior eruption data
11:23:11
<ynpvisitor25> Kevin's sprinklers sprung a leak again.
11:24:10
<Eric> daisy?
11:24:29
<Kevin L™> Very fluffy one
11:24:51
<Eric> wow...rocket major 30 minutes into grotto
11:24:56
<Eric> seems quick
11:26:54
<Dave from B™> That was going to be my point, Eric. I think walkup varies depending on the geyser
11:27:27
<Dave from B™> Eric, so you talked with Brian R for a bit, I presume?
11:31:54
<ynpvisitor25> Blue clouds!
11:32:38
<Eric> Yep, talked with Brian quite a bit
11:35:26
<Dave from B™> His excitement for the Grotto group is contagious
11:36:57
<Eric> Yes, he spends very long days there...not sure I could do that.
11:37:24
<Eric> I really wanted to get a Spa, but rocket kept erupting.
11:37:40
<Eric> and there were very few spa eruptions
11:37:56
<Dave from B™> I don't think Brian has seen many Spa's this year
11:38:19
<Dave from B™> Any Grotto Fountains yet?
11:38:42
<Eric> Nope...don't think he has gotten one yet
11:39:15
<Eric> last known grotto fountain eruption over 120 days ago
11:46:21
<ynpvisitor999®> SB has water again
11:48:06
<ynpvisitor999®> SC
11:50:46
<Dave from B™> Goog GHP at 1318
11:50:50
<Dave from B™> Good*
11:55:29
<ynpvisitor25> I thought they closed down this geyser for repair. Maybe after Labor Day?
11:56:16
<ynpvisitor999®> SB?
11:57:19
<Kevin L™> Pretty fluffy OF.
12:00:53
<ynpvisitor25> I would prefer a fluffy lion.
12:02:32
<ynpvisitor999®> LC ie
12:02:42
<Kevin L™> Looks like a fluffy LC
12:07:43
<Kevin L™> Lot more steam on Giantess today
12:17:52
<Kevin L™> Interesting clouds today.
12:19:01
<Eric> Vault was down about 6-8 inches while I was there....
12:25:22
<ynpvisitor25> Too cold looking for me, makes me want to start a fire.
12:26:29
<ynpvisitor999®> I'm calling it a day. Have fun watching SC and Lion
12:26:40
<Kevin L™> Night
12:26:57
<Eric> Night DG
12:39:19
<Eric> Washburn is white....winter is coming!
12:40:11
<Dave from B™> Just for 1 day
12:40:37
<Dave from B™> Eric, when you moving in to the condos on the Columbia in Vancouver?
12:40:40
<ynpvisitor112> Wonder how far they've gotten with the cell tower upgrade on Washburn
12:41:43
<Dave from B™> 112, I would think they would be trying to get that done before real winter gets here
12:53:01
<Eric> Dave, I have no need of a condo there....but it does look like they will be nice.
12:58:24
<Dave from B™> My uncle took the family out on their boat. It looks like a nice place
12:59:07
<Kevin L™> Riverside?
13:12:36
<Dave from B™> 2018 Update: F&M 17, SB 14, Giant 13, Oblong 5, Morning 1
13:12:56
<Dave from B™> Giant overtakes SB in Sept
13:14:48
<Kevin L™> Who would have guessed that SB, F&M, and Giant would have more eruptions than Oblong?
13:18:01
<Kevin L™> Now that is a Lion ini
13:19:35
<Jimbo Plutonium> Oh yeah
13:27:40
<GO OBLONG> SC
13:28:10
<Dave from B™> Time to head out. 5 hours sleep not enough last night. Have a great evening everyone!
13:28:15
<ynpvisitor84> when did Morning erupt?
13:28:49
<Dave from B™> 8/22 0912
13:28:51
<Kevin L™> Night Dave
13:28:54
<GO OBLONG> 5 days ago?
13:29:01
<GO OBLONG> dual with Ftn
13:29:14
<GO OBLONG> yesterday Ftn had 8.5h interval too
13:29:17
<ynpvisitor84> found it tks
13:29:45
<Dave from B™> Wasn't 9 hours the magic number the last time around?
13:29:48
<GO OBLONG> glad the steam i saw yesterday was oblong
13:30:29
<GO OBLONG> it had a lot over 8 for sure, yeah 9 was common for Morning. duration was only 28m yesterday which is shorter than normal
13:30:51
<Kevin L™> Grand
13:31:19
<GO OBLONG> of course, because we are waiting for OF
13:31:37
<Kevin L™> Never fails
13:32:04
<ynpvisitor23> it was 11 hours for FTN back in the glory days of Morning in 2013
13:32:11
<ynpvisitor23> for interval
13:32:53
<Eric> The durations are sucking....that is the problem :-(
13:33:00
<GO OBLONG> thats long 23
13:33:47
<Eric> But my last fountain before leaving was from a super deep pool, about a foot or two below overflow
13:34:12
<ynpvisitor23> there has been no water in FTN all season before the intervals changed
13:34:18
<Eric> it was an 8 hour interval
13:35:08
<ynpvisitor23> we have not seen any long durations like 2012 lead up
13:35:13
<Eric> Something is changing there....hopefully people get more morning eruptions!
13:35:25
<ynpvisitor23> I hope so. I wish there was a logger on it
13:35:44
<Eric> There is a logger...it is just broken :-(
13:35:46
<ynpvisitor23> very hard to tell if anything there has happened without snow
13:35:53
<ynpvisitor23> there is no logger on Morning
13:36:04
<ynpvisitor23> and the FTN logger is fixed now
13:36:12
<Eric> ohhh, it's fixed...awesome!
13:36:18
<ynpvisitor23> it will not be data retrieved again until November
13:36:41
<Eric> Bummer :-(
13:37:06
<ynpvisitor23> too bad it was corrupted this last time, would have been nice to know more info about this current change
13:37:20
<Kevin L™> OF out of nps window
13:37:31
<ynpvisitor23> because Grand...
13:38:24
<Kevin L™> 8m on Grand
13:38:31
<GO OBLONG> ftn intervals were shorter in 2013, 7.5 to 9 for the most part, so we are in the range
13:38:47
<Eric> The video of the 8/22 morning was cool....unfortunately, the visitor only shot about 7 seconds of video :-(
13:38:47
<GO OBLONG> shorter tnan the 11h in 2012
13:39:09
<Eric> OF
13:40:46
<ynpvisitor23> you saw a video?
13:40:50
<ynpvisitor23> where is that posted?
13:41:05
<ynpvisitor23> oh, you mentioned a visitor...
13:41:07
<Eric> I added the comment on the eruption
13:41:12
<Eric> in GT
13:41:29
<GO OBLONG> interesting duals were usually preceeded by 8.5 to 9h intervals
13:41:48
<Eric> That interval could have been > 8.5h
13:42:12
<Kevin L™> Faisy
13:42:19
<Eric> I was there at 8:30 the night before and the morning pool was high, but fountain water could not be seen
13:42:51
<Eric> At the time, I wasn't aware that had much meaning, but in hindsight, wish I would have stayed until after dark.
13:43:41
<Kevin L™> Hope you have a good book Graham.
13:43:50
<GO OBLONG> if you look at the last 6000 ftn eruptions on gt you get back to 2012
13:44:02
<GO OBLONG> hey Lion is going
13:44:10
<GO OBLONG> and BH is in my shift
13:44:11
<Eric> daisy
13:44:35
<Eric> ohhh, 2 minutes late I guess :-P
13:44:35
<GO OBLONG> and the Giant steam cloud will be nice
13:44:50
<GO OBLONG> did you enjoy Giant and F&M Eric?
13:45:04
<Eric> I :heart::heart::heart::heart::heart: F&M
13:45:25
<GO OBLONG> yeah they are cool
13:45:33
<GO OBLONG> now you need one in good weather
13:45:33
<Eric> Giant was awesome too, but I really want to see more F&Ms
13:45:50
<GO OBLONG> but that can take time, took me years to get one in really good light and wind
13:45:52
<Kevin L™> Was that your first F&M?
13:45:54
<Eric> Yes, I would actually like to see mortar :-P
13:46:06
<Eric> Nice steam down basin
13:46:15
<Eric> Yes, that was my first Giant and F&M
13:46:21
<Eric> my first Hot period too!
13:46:22
<GO OBLONG> haha it is really cool ... and it is my geyser so I have to say that
13:47:19
<Eric> I love hot periods....I could watch those all day long
13:47:37
<Eric> Even if they don't induce the big guy
13:47:53
<GO OBLONG> they are nice .. loking forward to seeing more then Feather and SW vents next trip.
13:48:06
<Eric> I hope you get a couple Giants on your trip
13:48:12
<Kevin L™> Wow. You did good!
13:48:30
<GO OBLONG> slowly building this year....just bathtub with SW vents in winter .. then added feather in May .. now i need more
13:48:50
<GO OBLONG> will be fun to see one and complete the trifecta in different trips
13:49:26
<GO OBLONG> 10.5 years since i last saw a Giant start
13:49:41
<GO OBLONG> that Grotto steam is really big
13:49:56
<Kevin L™> Rocket Major?
13:50:07
<GO OBLONG> and then it gets small
13:50:13
<Eric> Yep, lot's of humidity in the air
13:50:27
<GO OBLONG> so when do you go back Eric?
13:50:28
<Eric> Grotto started at 1543, so I would doubt rocket yet
13:50:54
<Eric> I am guessing that Jim is sitting at Giant right now
13:51:43
<GO OBLONG> have not seen any Jim posts...weather may have kept him sheltering?
13:52:06
<GO OBLONG> haha
13:52:06
<GO OBLONG> oh i see, he posted Grotto
13:52:28
<ynpvisitor23> I think with SteveO there he beats JimS to the posts most times
13:52:35
<Kevin L™> That must have been the Grotto start then.
13:52:49
<Eric> SteveO is Jim's secretary :-P
13:52:57
<Eric> Jim just calls it, Steve records it
13:53:11
<GO OBLONG> like DG here :)
13:54:22
<Eric> Jim will be missed next year :-(
13:54:27
<ynpvisitor23> DG will go nuts when he finally gets to Yellowstone
13:54:49
<ynpvisitor23> where will Jim be?
13:56:39
<Eric> He is traveling next year
14:02:31
<GO OBLONG> back to Africa?
14:40:58
<GO OBLONG> dep
14:47:38
<GO OBLONG> rocket?
15:09:47
<Kevin L™> Just missed Aurum
15:10:15
<Kevin L™> OF has been a PIG today.
15:10:23
<Time for BH> Because of the fat cat?
15:10:23
<GO OBLONG> of has done a lot of blocking
15:10:47
<GO OBLONG> if not OF, then Giantess gets in the way
15:10:57
<Eric> Nice...Cynthia got Aurum!
15:11:34
<Eric> I assume grotto is still chugging away Graham
15:11:54
<Eric> Maybe Brian will get his spa soon :-D
15:11:55
<GO OBLONG> theres a lot of steam down there
15:12:21
<Eric> Brian doesn't log stuff on GT so maybe it happened and nobody recorded it
15:12:34
<Eric> other than in Brians notebook
15:13:39
<Time for BH> Hope his notebook does not blow into a feature like the ranger's hat did!
15:14:40
<Eric> Woops...that would suck
15:15:11
<Time for BH> Has about the same outcome as not sharing.
15:16:20
<ynpvisitor81> I think he does GT - but it's the next day
15:17:34
<Time for BH> That is different.
15:29:41
<Eric> Yes, Brian definitely shares his data, but he is busy in the field and doesn't mess with the phone
15:29:50
<Eric> Super nice man
15:30:38
<ynpvisitor81> here ya go - so you can't say he doesn't share info
15:30:52
<ynpvisitor81> http://geysertimes.org/user.php?id=580&n=50
15:31:39
<Eric> Sorry, I should have been much clearer about that...
15:31:42
<GO OBLONG> i see a pattern in that data
15:32:02
<ynpvisitor81> several folks do theirs late at night, not live
15:32:04
<GO OBLONG> localized reporting
15:32:04
<Eric> I just meant he didn't do GT while down there
15:32:35
<GO OBLONG> when do you go back Eric?
15:32:36
<Eric> I never saw him anywhere but in front of grotto and spa, even if we were in a GHP
15:32:44
<Eric> Memorial day weekend
15:32:54
<GO OBLONG> thats next year!
15:33:01
<Eric> haha
15:33:27
<Time for BH> Got to watch what you type, people may believe you.
15:33:33
<ynpvisitor81> Eric can see the future? When is Steamboat?
15:33:55
<GO OBLONG> better be before Memorial Day
15:34:19
<Eric> Yes, apparently I need to shut up about others :-D
15:34:24
<Time for BH> Like when Kevin broke the camera earlier today.
15:34:43
<Kevin L™> I would be happ to know when BH will be today.
15:34:47
<GO OBLONG> ts all fake news here
15:34:52
<GO OBLONG> nobody believes it
15:35:38
<Time for BH> Next thing you are going to tell us, is Jim is in Africa watching horny leopards.
15:36:17
<Time for BH> I have no idea who puts the moose in their hair to make them look horny.
15:36:57
<Eric> or Horny frogs
15:37:25
<Time for BH> Someone puts moose on frogs?
15:39:22
<Time for BH> Sorry not the animal, the other mousse.
15:39:47
<Kevin L™> That would smash the frogs.
15:42:22
<Time for BH> They would be better off then this one. https://i.kinja-img.com/gawker-media/image/upload/rpxzol80qtdpqiyngd55.Jpg
15:43:32
<Time for BH> Well the evil step sister keeps covering BH, so it will have to wait till later. Enjoy the steam.
16:08:48
<ynpvisitor111> Looks damp at West Gate
16:20:03
<Kevin L™> Wish it looked damp at BH
16:24:13
<GO OBLONG> lets hope Bacon Rind is all wet too
16:24:52
<Kevin L™> yes
16:25:10
<Kevin L™> This will at least slow it down.
16:29:19
<GO OBLONG> another OT today
16:33:36
<ynpvisitor13> That bacon rind must be from GMO corn-fed pigs. Real bacon rind would burn better.
16:34:03
<GO OBLONG> be less smoky?
16:34:45
<ynpvisitor13> It will keep a bigger fire from starting some day.
16:37:02
<kcmule> weeeee
16:37:59
<GO OBLONG> what did i miss Kevin?
16:41:28
<Kevin L™> I was watching themput a choo choo to bed.
16:42:15
<GO OBLONG> ok :)
16:43:54
<GO OBLONG> OF
16:44:11
<Kevin L™> Glad BH isn't going now
17:02:30
<Kevin L™> Did the stream just die?
17:02:45
<ynpvisitor30> I'm buffering or something
17:03:17
<kcmule> buffer stream just got it, then started working again
17:03:33
<kcmule> and again
17:04:16
<Kevin L™> Mine is dead
17:04:53
<GO OBLONG> i have lost control too
17:04:59
<GO OBLONG> whats new?
17:05:10
<Kevin L™> I think Dave broke it.
17:05:33
<Kevin L™> It did the same thing last night and again this morning.
17:05:50
<GO OBLONG> doesnt like snow?
17:06:03
<GO OBLONG> kcmule - are you going back to the park this year?
17:07:10
<ynpvisitor30> Come on, walk all the way out of the frame people, dang it, have to keep watching that dude in shorts laugh.....
17:07:43
<Eric> I have no video here
17:07:54
<ynpvisitor30> You're not missing anything...
17:08:14
<ynpvisitor30> Well, that is wrong, I mean you're not missing anything in the rebuff
17:08:48
<GO OBLONG> oh well, so much for seeing BH
17:08:56
<ynpvisitor30> saddies!
17:09:01
<Eric> I guess Kevin lost control and crashed the cam....like his kid :-P
17:09:26
<ynpvisitor30> I thought we were blaming Dave.
17:09:32
<Eric> Ohh, it's graham's fault!
17:09:45
<Kevin L™> I guess I will have to settle with seeing how many bags of garbage the Southwest Chief leaves in Flagstaff.
17:09:58
<GO OBLONG> just over 2 weeks till I go and fix it
17:10:17
<Kevin L™> He, my kid had control. It was the guy in front of him!
17:10:22
<Eric> Hope you get the 4 biggies :-D
17:11:00
<Eric> Kinda like falling...fun until you stop.
17:11:21
<GO OBLONG> thanks Eric ... i will be happy with one especially Giant as its the one of three I have missed. If Morning osnt seen again I will go for Ftn and hope to be surprised
17:12:58
<GO OBLONG> hope F&M keep up the regular eruptions too, usually they are the only big game in town. hard to watch late season tho with so few gazers there
17:13:57
<GO OBLONG> i am stepping away ..... listening for lots of dings if it comes back
17:14:18
<ynpvisitor30> me too, dinner time
17:15:42
<ynpvisitor53> This is depressing
17:30:40
<ynpvisitor91> No in basin gazer at Lion? Maybe it’s done.
17:38:36
<ynpvisitor24> Kevin broke it again
17:48:47
<kcmule> not going to make it back to the park, can't sacrifice xmas :(
17:55:19
<Time for BH> A Network Error, that is a new one.
17:56:09
<Time for BH> Squirrel must have unplugged the server.

18:29:36
<Eric> 38 and dropping
18:36:53
<Kevin L™> 38° here is December at this time is considered cold. I guess it was Christmas Saturday though....
18:42:30
<Kevin L™> Don't know if we could see Indy right now.
18:43:30
<Time for BH> If it were there, I would see it
18:50:07
<Kevin L™> I see fuzzies.
18:51:53
<Time for BH> I see the light
18:52:29
<ynpvisitor20> Will B**2 be out there?
18:52:53
<ynpvisitor20> He missed last night
18:53:30
<Kevin L™> I am not sure I would want to be out there tonight.
18:54:14
<Time for BH> The warm pretzels and hot biscuits would help.
18:54:31

18:54:40
<Kevin L™> The rolls were awesome
18:56:46

18:57:20

18:57:31
<Time for BH> Should go wait fo BH, the bears will not be out in this gunk.

<Time for BH> Too cold for bees, will see them in the daylight.

<ynpvisitor41> No BH yet? Even the Southwest Chief beat it.
21:13:07
<ynpvisitor78> Something out there now, 2311. I suspect Lion.
21:14:10
<ynpvisitor30> I was wondering. Looks like Lion to me too.
21:15:04
<ynpvisitor30> With the cold and humidity it cold be Indy.
21:16:16
<ynpvisitor30> It has been going a while
21:19:10
<ynpvisitor30> Dying out now. Lion most probable
21:23:48
