00:02:27
<ynpvisitor3> Quite dark - looks like big steam in giant area
00:17:09
<ynpvisitor3> Probably illusion and not big steam
05:08:33
<Dave from B™> Good morning everyone!
05:09:24
<ynpvisitor111> Good morning Dave
05:11:04
<Dave from B™> Longest Grand interval in last 100 is 6:45
05:12:07
<ynpvisitor78> fluffy
05:18:25
<ynpvisitor47> Large plume in the Giant area
05:21:08
<ynpvisitor111> plume started 0706 looked like Grotto
05:21:52
<ynpvisitor47> OK
05:26:01
<ynpvisitor78> is that a teeny, tiny snow person on the boardwalk edge?
05:26:04
<ynpvisitor111> slight wind to the left
05:26:41
<ynpvisitor111> Yes, here
05:26:45
<ynpvisitor78> it is, it is a teeny, tiny snow person
05:27:10
<ynpvisitor78> cute
05:28:34
<ynpvisitor47> Are you sure that the snow creature identify as a person?
05:34:57
<ynpvisitor111> Morning CB
05:35:45
<ynpvisitor111> Hi Kevin, back in warm country?
05:36:11
<Kevin L™🌵> I hope so.
05:37:33
<Dave from B™> Welcome back to the desert
05:49:19
<Mike J> The static cams have some incredible shots right now. Beautiful morning.
05:50:56
<ynpvisitor111> NG
05:51:59
<Dave from B™> Streaming isn't too shabby either
05:52:15
<Dave from B™> Mike J, how did Anaheim elections go for Disney?
06:03:03
<Kevin L™🌵> Off to the Dentist 🤩
06:03:40
<Mike J> Dave from B. I haven't heard anything. I need to take a look at that.
06:04:49
<Mike J> Quick check shows the ones they backed are in the lead.
06:05:54
<Dave from B™> Thanks, Mike J
06:24:47
<Cobalt Blue> I have returned
06:25:02
<Dave from B™> Morning Jimbo
06:25:07
<Cobalt Blue> Hi Dave
06:25:15
<Cobalt Blue> Mists over the lake this morning
06:25:36
<Dave from B™> I'm taking a quick poll for people in the room....Do you have your Norris seismo open?
06:26:10
<Cobalt Blue> I do
06:27:09
<ynpvisitor5> no
06:28:41
<Dave from B™> So, now, I not only stare at dirt, I also stare at seismo lines
06:31:56
<Dave from B™> For fun...SB today 1900-tomorrow 0700
06:32:45
<ynpvisitor5> I am going long ~ not til Friday
06:39:15
<Dave from B™> Does anyone have the SB link that shows how many times it has erupted EACH year?
06:42:11
<Cobalt Blue> Hey Dave, are your elections officials counting the ballots by hand?
06:42:53
<Dave from B™> hahahaha. I think we are using polling equipment from the 15th century:)
06:43:40
<Cobalt Blue> Missoula county, which Tester is carrying big, is only at 73% on CNN
06:44:59
<Cobalt Blue> Cascade at 83%. The horses must be tired from carrying the ballot boxes all night.
06:46:25
<Cobalt Blue> Less than a 2,000 vote lead for Rosendale. Sheesh.
06:46:55
<Dave from B™> I'm not sure we will even know a winner today.
06:50:52
<Cobalt Blue> If the Missoula percentages hold for the remainder of the uncounted votes, Tester makes up the deficit. This could literally be decided by a few hundred votes.
06:53:33
<Dave from B™> and, then there will be a recount
06:54:15
<Dave from B™> I don't belong to either party but the way Trump has bullied Tester the past few months turns my stomach
06:54:20
<ynpvisitor71> fluffy again
06:56:22
<ynpvisitor71> was hoping to see bee today
06:56:35
<Cobalt Blue> Has to go to a recount, I would think
06:56:59
<ynpvisitor5> Dave from B™, money pouring in from out of state should not be allowed
06:56:59
<ynpvisitor71> missed yesterday's no indy bee, was just entering the polling area to vote when I got the text
06:57:06
<Cobalt Blue> Especially since people counting by hand can make mistakes. :lol:
06:59:02
<Dave from B™> haha
07:00:41
<Dave from B™> With 56 counties in MT, imagine what age equipment the smaller rural counties are using
07:12:35
<Dave from B™> $60 million was spent on that election....Doesn't that disgust everyone? What a waste of money. I will NEVER directly donate to a public campaign
07:14:17
<Steph> You and me both. Plus by recycle bin is FULL of shiny full color cardstock flyers, some sent to me every single day by the same candidate. Promising me spending and environmental reform...
07:14:25
<ynpvisitor5> think what any state could do with 60 million.
07:15:43
<Dave from B™> That's why I say tax political advertising
07:16:16
<ynpvisitor5> or put %50 of it into a state program of your choice
07:17:41
<Steph> Anyway, I have looked at the awesome photo on this page to help me understand where everything is, and on the right, that's grotto? I get Grotto and Riverside placement confused sometimes.
07:18:16
<Steph> Well, it was on the right when we were zoomed. :D:D
07:18:55
<ynpvisitor111> Grotto area
07:20:14
<Steph> Thanks so much! And Riverside would be to the right more? That sounds weird, but you know what I mean.
07:21:01
<ynpvisitor111> rside area
07:22:02
<Steph> You guys are the best! Thank you!!
07:22:11
<BSK> Good morning
07:22:13
<ynpvisitor111> yw
07:23:48
<ynpvisitor111> Grand
07:25:25
<Dave from B™> Imagine what a Giant steam cloud would look like
07:25:57
<ynpvisitor111> GIAGANTIC!
07:26:26
<ynpvisitor111> Humongous!
07:27:29
<Kevin L™🌵> Back
07:27:29
<Steph> It's amazing isn't it? Ah, geysers make me so happy!
07:28:34
<Kevin L™🌵> They are pretty but it sure is cold. Glad I have this window to view them.
07:32:11
<ynpvisitor111> 10min
07:32:25
<Kevin L™🌵> This would be awesome if we had blue sky
07:33:09
<ynpvisitor1> some hints of blue at Electric Peak and mammoth
07:33:31
<ynpvisitor1> and Lake
07:47:13
<ynpvisitor111> Riverside
07:51:57
<ynpvisitor111> BH is in its 23rd hour
07:52:47
<Dave from B™> Just a little more than yesterday...it is due...Hope it's not waiting for Betty
07:53:26
<ynpvisitor111> it is waiting for Kevin :)
07:54:13
<Dave from B™> Is he driving at 1000 today?
07:54:27
<BSK> Beehive has the winter blues already
07:54:32
<ynpvisitor111> yes
07:55:11
<Dave from B™> Are you sure he remembers how do drive?
07:55:14
<Dave from B™> to*
07:55:59
<Kevin L™🌵> Did you put the snow chains on it Joe?
07:56:20
<ynpvisitor111> Don't know, if not he will just have to wing it.
07:56:41
<ynpvisitor111> Yep all chained up
07:57:35
<ynpvisitor111> drives like a skid plate car :)
07:58:30
<Kevin L™🌵> I will be spinning a lot then.
07:59:55
<ynpvisitor111> no researchers to mess up the view
08:00:18
<Dave from B™> Is today another SB & Giant day?
08:00:31
<Kevin L™🌵> Wow, it is slippery out there!
08:00:32
<ynpvisitor111> nice spin
08:01:26
<BSK> Kevin, if come here we can find a parking lot for you to spin donuts in.
08:03:35
<Dave from B™> Jimbo, now Tester is back in the lead by 1000 votes
08:10:32
<Cobalt Blue> I heard
08:10:42
<ynpvisitor72> Please please have Tester win
08:12:39
<BSK> I have everything crossed (including my stomach, which is in knots) but I'm optimistic he'll carry the areas yet to be counted. But I suspect we'll go into recount and may not know for sure for weeks. Provisional ballots haven't been counted and it's close enough that they could swing it.
08:14:24
<Cobalt Blue> Based on election day votes, I think Tester is ahead to stay. 12,000+ vote margin in Missoula county (92% in on CNN), and there aren't any other outstanding populous red counties that could substantially alter that.
08:14:39
<Betty> morning all
08:14:40
<Cobalt Blue> But provisional / absentee votes ???
08:14:51
<Kevin L™🌵> hi
08:15:33
<Betty> hi Kevin. Back home?
08:15:50
<BSK> absentee aren't provisional and are being counted today. And most voted absentee.
08:16:03
<Dave from B™> Jimbo, where do you get your election news?
08:16:04
<Cobalt Blue> Gallatin county only at 81% and Tester leads by 6,000 votes there
08:16:22
<Kevin L™🌵> Couldn't tell if that was Aurum or just steam.
08:17:23
<Cobalt Blue> It will be interesting, Rosendale will have to pick up a few absentee votes in every red county to catch up
08:17:31
<Betty> it looked a lot like Aurum, but not for 100%
08:18:01
<ynpvisitor35> What Dave's new super sized monitor and no BH? What good is he?
08:18:07
<Kevin L™🌵> I didn't see enought to even put a questionable post on it.
08:18:29
<Dave from B™> Betty's here...BH can go now
08:18:40
<Steph> YAY!
08:18:46
<Betty> thx Dave
08:19:10
<Kevin L™🌵> Someone commented about a possible BH last night but it looked more like a Lion on the replay.
08:25:27
<ynpvisitor35> Where are all the gnomes?
08:26:13
<ynpvisitor35> Or where they leprechauns looking for their gold?
08:26:47
<Kevin L™🌵> There is your Gnome.
08:27:03
<Dave from B™> Gnomes are white?
08:27:31
<ynpvisitor35> No, that is mini frosty. The NY City size.
08:27:41
<Kevin L™🌵> :)
08:27:55
<Kevin L™🌵> Bet he grows up this Winter.
08:28:00
<ynpvisitor35> PEople in NYC can not handle their sugar you know.
08:28:44
<Kevin L™🌵> That would not work here in the Summer.
08:29:07
<ynpvisitor35> So Kevin, in Chicago dead people vote, in Nevada dead people win election?
08:29:32
<Dave from B™> what?
08:29:41
<Kevin L™🌵> Those are the best ones on the ballot!
08:30:42
<Kevin L™🌵> https://nypost.com/2018/11/07/dead-brothel-owner-dennis-hof-wins-nevada-election/
08:30:46
<ynpvisitor35> Keeps the opponent from saying bad things. You know you are not supposed to say bad things about the dead.
08:31:19
<Betty> I think 2106 is BH, for Lion was at 2151 ini and next Lion after ini was 2311. I don´t believe in ini at 2106 and the next Lion that soon at 2151
08:31:26
<Kevin L™🌵> I think that speaks volumes about the others we had running.
08:31:52
<ynpvisitor35> So who gets the seat, his head madam, or the governor appoints, or new election?
08:32:46
<Dave from B™> Only in Nevada does a brothel owner run and win an election
08:33:35
<Kevin L™🌵> I believe in Nevada it is the County Commission that places a person in that position until the next election.
08:33:41
<ynpvisitor58> Montana has a wild past.
08:34:06
<Betty> Lion
08:34:11
<Dave from B™> Yes, I know. But, I doubt something like that would happen in MT today
08:34:32
<ynpvisitor58> Lucky Lil could win
08:34:38
<Betty> hey, where is Lion???
08:34:42
<Kevin L™🌵> Hey we had the mob's lawyer as a judge and another one as a mayor.
08:35:10
<Kevin L™🌵> Is there a blue space on the roulette wheel?
08:35:17
<ynpvisitor58> Lion is doing a LC impersonation.
08:37:16
<Kevin L™🌵> Also Nevada has a "None of These" for Statewide races. That one has won several races.
08:39:15
<Kevin L™🌵> Dave, did you see Harvick got caught cheating? No automatic advancement to the final race, loss of 40 points, crew chief suspended the rest of the season.
08:39:22
<ynpvisitor58> Looking at local results, I was surprised at how many people can not decide between yes or no. At least once I think more people did not chose then did.
08:40:00
<Dave from B™> Kevin....wow...I didn't see that
08:40:16
<ynpvisitor58> How can you get caught cheating when they give you a car to drive.
08:40:19
<Dave from B™> Must have just happened this morning
08:40:50
<ynpvisitor58> Didn't nascar take over the IROC format?
08:42:02
<Kevin L™🌵> The #4 team was caught cheating. I don't know how much he is involved in the setup but I am sure it is more than most drivers.
08:42:28
<Kevin L™🌵> I think IROC is no longer around.
08:42:47
<Kevin L™🌵> Nascar did take over ARCA this year.
08:43:27
<Dave from B™> Kevin, that really helped Kyle and Martin
08:43:58
<Dave from B™> Even opens the door for Kurt or Chase
08:44:42
<Dave from B™> I can see the headline now....Spoiler spoils super season for Harvick
08:44:54
<Kevin L™🌵> Helped Kurt even more than Kyle, but unless Kyle is out early in Phoenix he should make it.
08:44:56
<Steph> I like that a Bee prediction popped up!
08:45:18
<ynpvisitor58> I would not be surprised to see Harvick be the next driver to hang it up. He is too competitive to put up with the stupidity.
08:47:08
<ynpvisitor58> The new cars are not something exciting. Not like the old days when a manufacturer would make a car just to race. Now the manufacturer has nothing to do with it, they are just driving amusement park go carts.
08:48:21
<Kevin L™🌵> What is totally stupid is the trucks series all run Chevy engines now.
08:54:08
<ynpvisitor58> Someone should remind the france's this is what stock cars are. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jjZFLSMhPLQ
08:55:02
<Kevin L™🌵> The King and the wing!
09:19:10
<Cobalt Blue> Montana race was called for Tester
09:20:13
<ynpvisitor58> Sorry, I believe in counting EVERY vote.
09:20:16
<Dave from B™> Thanks, Jimbo.....so, sorry Mr. Trump
09:23:03
<Betty> Daisy
09:23:09
<ynpvisitor58> Daisy?
09:32:13
<Betty> steam from Depression area
09:33:05
<Dave from B™> 7d4h from last SB.......the excitement is building!
09:33:34
<Betty> seismo is still calm
09:41:25
<Betty> GHG 5
09:41:39
<ynpvisitor58> No bee till snack time.
09:53:57
<Rice> Nice to Echinus's graph back
09:54:09
<BSK> :)
09:54:20
<Betty> funny thing
09:54:55
<Steph> Does he have arms? Or a hat and big ears?
09:55:18
<Betty> looked like arms
09:55:32
<Kevin L™🌵> I think arms.
09:55:50
<Steph> He's cute that's for sure!
09:55:57
<Kevin L™🌵> Nothing worse than an armed snowman!
09:56:04
<Betty> lol
09:56:33
<Dave from B™> watch out for your ankles
09:57:18
<Betty> that was a short BH interval tonight
09:57:29
<Betty> BH splash
09:58:23
<Dave from B™> Shortest in last 100..are you 100% sure?
09:58:41
<Betty> yup
09:59:06
<Betty> look at Lion intervals. they don´t fit at all
09:59:51
<Betty> 45 min from ini to next interval?
10:00:42
<Betty> then 1h21 and another 1h13 interval?
10:00:59
<ynpvisitor1> unless there was a Lion ini 1h20m earlier
10:01:52
<Betty> and 45 min for the next Lion after ini? I doubt that. See the capture, it looks more like BH
10:02:05
<Betty> at 2106
10:02:08
<Dave from B™> So, a shorter BH intervals is more likely than a short interval between Lions 1 and 2?
10:02:13
<Kevin L™🌵> I looked at the replay and it was hard to tell but I thought it looked more like Lion. No eruptions an hour to 2 hours after it though
10:03:18
<Betty> we had some really short BH intervals before
10:03:24
<Jeff in CT> Hi all
10:03:32
<Betty> hi Jeff
10:04:45
<Jeff in CT> With regards to Lion intervals, having 21:51 as the initial makes more sense
10:05:28
<Jeff in CT> My predictor was for 23:34 +/- 3 hours
10:06:43
<Dave from B™> Sorry, Betty...just asking not accusing if it came off that way
10:07:29
<Betty> No, it did not come off that way :-)
10:08:15
<Betty> It´s always good to have some healthy discussions
10:11:24
<Betty> Just recheck the captures. the first column at 2106 comes straight and strong, the one at 2151 comes more huffing and looks weaker and with less height. both last about the same length
10:11:38
<Betty> OF
10:20:48
<Jeff in CT> I agree, hard to say. Take a look at the 11/3 overnight, Lion at 1:58 AM, and BH at 3:41 AM, for comparison.
10:24:18
<Dave from B™> For those of you who know my daughter Becca, it looks like she will be transferring closer to home beginning in January
10:24:39
<Kevin L™🌵> Where is she going?
10:25:05
<Dave from B™> She wants to teach high school in Montana and wants to student teach here so she will be going to my alma mater
10:25:28
<Kevin L™🌵> Whitefish U?
10:25:49
<Dave from B™> University of Montana
10:26:37
<Jeff in CT> Always nice to have kids close to home
10:26:53
<Kevin L™🌵> She just wants to sneak in early and get Steamboat the day before you get there
10:26:55
<ynpvisitor1> closer to steamboat you mean?
10:29:26
<Jeff in CT> I am leaning towards the 21:06 being Lion
10:30:01
<Betty> and 2151?
10:33:02
<Jeff in CT> 21:51 is definitely Lion, at least to me. I marked on my screen where BH and L cones should be, based on locations at twilight, the 21:51 is clear, 21:06 not so much
10:33:08
<Dave from B™> She may be able to meet me at SB next Spring
10:34:00
<Betty> I´m quite sure with Lion at 2151
10:34:03
<Dave from B™> So, someone needs to go to Portland to get her stuff in the middle of December
10:34:58
<Jeff in CT> Yes, Lion at 21:51, 21:06 fits with Lion pattern, but its fuzzy where the steam is coming from
10:47:23
<Eric> Good afternoon everyone.
10:47:42
<Betty> hi Eric
10:48:02
<Eric> Hi Betty
10:48:07
<Dave from B™> Hi, Eric
10:48:10
<Eric> I am ready for some BH action
10:48:12
<Eric> Hi Dave
10:48:30
<Eric> Nice blanket of snow and views on the static cams
10:48:33
<Betty> insert a coin and here we go
10:48:54
<Eric> I put my nickel in the slot
10:49:25
<Eric> steamboat and echinus graphs kind of working now?
10:50:57
<Jeff in CT> Elk in Electric Peak Static
10:51:30
<Dave from B™> Eric, I know Bill said they fixed Echinus and 1 other logger at Norris but I know it wasn't USGS SB logger
10:53:38
<ynpvisitor34> Trading one weird city for a slightly less weird one? Safer for sure.
10:53:38
<Betty> I have a black screen :-(
10:54:35
<ynpvisitor34> Anchor cut the cable?
10:54:41
<Dave from B™> haha 34. She had a real hard time making friends in Portland. She needs a change.
10:57:06
<Dave from B™> To quote someone in my life who I can't remember at this time but Becca is an "acquired taste"
11:00:15
<ynpvisitor34> The boy is next. He will not like being the farthest from home.
11:01:48
<Betty> did not improve anything
11:01:51
<Dave from B™> Parker loves it in Bellingham
11:01:51
<ynpvisitor34> Mid December driveing in Portland, no problem, unless they see one snow flake.
11:01:58
<Jeff in CT> Usually its the girls that go furthest away - my 18 yr old took off the first chance she could. But without a car, she only got about 5 miles
11:02:16
<Betty> hahaha
11:02:52
<Jeff in CT> Boyfriend (now husband) doesn't have a car either, we try not to get involved
11:03:44
<ynpvisitor34> BH time ut.
11:03:47
<ynpvisitor34> out
11:03:51
<Jeff in CT> Very nice Mt. Washburn views, on both Statics
11:04:14
<Eric> Portland is definitely a change from Billings :-D
11:06:02
<Dave from B™> I think she liked the city but just couldn't connect with fellow students. and she had to take so many night classes that she had no time for anything else
11:07:38
<Eric> Bummer
11:07:59
<Eric> I just wrote up this quick guide to chat commands: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1vWFGH7W2CsL1-Yx7FxQJWc-azRDD9GkRXKBKXry-P-g/edit?usp=sharing
11:08:27
<Eric> Let me know if you see anything that could use updating or needs to be added.
11:09:18
<Eric> i am going to hot link it here so we can keep it updated with helpful tips for the chat.
11:09:51
<Betty> cool, thx Eric
11:10:29
<Jeff in CT> Nice Eric, thanks
11:10:33
<Betty> most command I need is how to fix a choppy streaming ;-)
11:10:35
<Eric> Will help with those pesky name change failures and getting data from geyser times.
11:10:45
<Eric> just type /fix choppy streaming
11:10:58
<Betty> :-D
11:11:32
<Eric> Be careful what you ask for with the /gt command you can get back thousands of eruptions :-D
11:12:18
<Betty> orange vest on VEC static
11:19:39
<Dave from B™> I really enjoyed my 2 trips to Oregon even though Eric left town both times I came to town
11:21:29
<Betty> depression action??
11:30:28
<Betty> OF ns
11:30:42
<Dave from B™> hey...lots of blue sky
11:30:45
<Kevin L™🌵> 1329
11:31:13
<Betty> man, I´m lagged :-(
11:31:55
<Eric> One man enter, one man leave :-D
11:31:56
<Eric> Lion
11:32:56
<Dave from B™> What else is steaming at back of GH?
11:33:15
<Eric> ahh, so this is lion ini I guess.
11:33:24
<Eric> nice gusher
11:33:25
<Betty> GHG 5
11:54:31
<ynpvisitor106> Daisy
11:54:39
<Betty> Daisy
11:54:43
<Jeff in CT> Lion was 2.3 hours before predicted time
11:55:36
<Jeff in CT> 60% of initials are within 3 hours of predicted time, so not sure how useful my predictions are
12:03:40
<Betty> GHG 5
12:04:47
<Bill> Afternoon
12:07:02
<Dave from B™> Hi Bill
12:07:22
<Betty> afternoon Bill
12:07:28
<Dave from B™> Almost time to start Steamboat
12:10:47
<Bill> Hah wish I was there. At OF right now monitoring these researchers
12:11:25
<Dave from B™> when do researchers finish?
12:15:18
<Bill> End of next week I think
12:15:23
<Betty> LC
12:15:37
<Dave from B™> Do you get a chance to meet Mara?
12:17:09
<Dave from B™> I'm sorry....Did you*
12:21:38
<Bill> Super briefly this morning. She's with our other Geo tech
12:24:21
<Dave from B™> Great
12:35:02
<Betty> GHG 5
12:46:38
<ynpvisitor111> Betty, thanks for spotting my mistake last night.
12:47:28
<Betty> is that you, Joe?
12:47:40
<ynpvisitor111> yes
12:47:53
<Betty> good afternoon
12:48:20
<ynpvisitor111> good evening to you
12:48:52
<Betty> did you watch the capture again?
12:49:01
<Betty> LC
12:50:01
<ynpvisitor111> yes, how I missed that is a little embarrassing
12:52:15
<ynpvisitor111> I seem to have a problem with Beehives in the dark :(
12:52:16
<Betty> It was really a hard one, but with the strength of 2106 plus that unusual short interval after Lion ini I think it fits better with an early BH
12:53:25
<ynpvisitor111> Yes, I agree, I did not notice the short interval until you pointed it out
12:54:59
<ynpvisitor111> Lion now
12:55:26
<Betty> I´m glad you do all the overnight work :-)
12:55:44
<ynpvisitor111> thanks :)
12:57:26
<ynpvisitor43> Nice Lion!
12:58:48
<Betty> yup, a really nice one
13:00:03
<ynpvisitor43> The Washburn NE view is awesome!
13:00:13
<Dave from B™> Starting to snow out my window again
13:03:39
<Eric> grand?
13:03:42
<Eric> yerp
13:03:47
<Eric> boooom
13:03:53
<Eric> OF too
13:03:54
<Eric> ie
13:04:04
<Kevin L™🌵> Typical
13:04:12
<Eric> Hi Kevin
13:04:25
<Kevin L™🌵> Hi Eric
13:04:36
<Betty> I´m lagged 30 sec
13:05:45
<ynpvisitor111> Kevin, I think you hold the record for Grand erupting in an oF window :)
13:05:57
<ynpvisitor111> OF
13:06:06
<Dave from B™> Kevin likes wide angle viewing
13:06:27
<Betty> GHG 5 ie
13:07:04
<Kevin L™🌵> Nice spike
13:10:00
<Dave from B™> Kevin, I'm within $1500 of a new truck....in the negotiation process
13:10:47
<Kevin L™🌵> Good Luck. Maybe you can trade fish for it
13:11:10
<Dave from B™> The guy joked about throwing in a dozen lobster tails
13:17:18
<Kevin L™🌵> Tell him yes for $100 a tail!
13:18:33
<Dave from B™> I have a new used truck and I threw in the lobster. Need a truck?
13:19:03
<Eric> haha...nice. Congrats Dave.
13:19:18
<Eric> Loan it to Becca to haul her stuff back :-P
13:19:19
<Kevin L™🌵> I think I have one like that one!
13:22:44
<Emily> hi
13:22:52
<Betty> hi
13:23:24
<LindaG> Hi
13:23:29
<Betty> here for a steamboat check? :-)
13:23:37
<Betty> hey, Linda
13:23:38
<Eric> Happy Birthday!
13:25:07
<ynpvisitor65> wow the seismograph looks busy
13:25:52
<Dave from B™> A regular ghost town at Norris today
13:26:20
<Emily> Need to keep the bbbWAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHs on the seismo coming for spring
13:26:26
<Dave from B™> Only bad thing is we have to move refrigeration unit from our old truck to new one
13:26:55
<Dave from B™> Emily, my prediction window opens in a few hours
13:26:57
<Eric> bulger?
13:27:13
<Betty> looks like
13:27:33
<Kevin L™🌵> Dave predicted Bulger?
13:27:41
<Emily> I missed all the bulfurs holes this summer
13:28:01
<LindaG> Which one is bulger?
13:28:17
<Betty> you can´t see it
13:28:21
<Eric> It's on the left right before you reach the grand bleachers
13:28:23
<Emily> Its a geyser to the left of the bw on your way to grand
13:28:26
<Dave from B™> Linda, it is what elk do...it is actually bugler:)
13:28:27
<Betty> it´s behind the trees
13:28:32
<Eric> So about middle of the screen right now
13:29:25
<Eric> Yes, I saw bulgers hole fillup half way in the spring, before any eruptions where noticed...but never saw it erupt
13:29:27
<Eric> Riverside
13:29:51
<LindaG> Thx
13:30:10
<Emily> snowan
13:30:13
<Dave from B™> Snowman is barely hanging on
13:30:45
<LindaG> Research ants
13:30:55
<Betty> snowi wan Kenobi?
13:31:00
<Emily> Wonder if one of those people is AMar
13:31:20
<Emily> GENERAL SNOWKOBI
13:31:33
<Kevin L™🌵> Buy a keyboard from Dave Emily?
13:31:36
<Emily> You are a cold one
13:31:41
<Emily> yes I did
13:32:03
<Emily> it cost 10$ so he needs to sell 149 more keyboard
13:32:12
<Kevin L™🌵> Snowing in Rexburg right now.
13:32:14
<Dave from B™> haha
13:33:17
<Betty> Old Tardy
13:33:20
<ynpvisitor111> I had to buy mine out of his shop back door...
13:33:45
<Kevin L™🌵> The bad thing about them is the fish smell.
13:34:06
<Betty> can you zoom please?
13:34:22
<Emily> I wonder what other small geysers can be seen besides stuff in the sawmill group
13:34:26
<Emily> and GH
13:34:42
<Emily> Like I wonder if you we could see TB
13:35:19
<Betty> TB?
13:35:25
<Emily> tilts baby
13:35:31
<Betty> Tilt´s Baby?
13:36:02
<Betty> OT for sure, thx
13:36:13
<ynpvisitor111> Graham had it on cam once
13:36:19
<Emily> Ok
13:36:30
<Emily> Hi graham
13:36:34
<Betty> hi Graham
13:37:04

13:37:13
<Betty> It´s time for sleep when you show up :-(
13:37:31
<Betty> we saved BH for you
13:37:37
<Kevin L™🌵> You don't like to sleep Betty?
13:37:51
<Emily> geysers>sleep
13:38:01
<GO STEAMBOAT> nice of you to leave something for my hour before dark
13:38:11
<GO STEAMBOAT> ghg5
13:38:35
<GO STEAMBOAT> has the SB countdown started yet?
13:38:39
<Betty> I do, but go to sleep means miss a lot of stuff
13:39:02
<Emily> Thats cool to see that from the webcam
13:39:11
<ynpvisitor72> So was that BH in the early hours this morning then?
13:39:44
<ynpvisitor65> you mean last night?
13:39:47
<GO STEAMBOAT> happy Birthday Emily
13:39:55
<ynpvisitor72> 202 this morning??
13:39:57
<Emily> thank you graham
13:40:15
<GO STEAMBOAT> Washburn SW cam looks nice, all the snow encrusted trees
13:40:35
<GO STEAMBOAT> wheres the birthday party
13:40:57
<Emily> Its called a biochemistry textbook and coffee
13:40:58
<Betty> Happy birthday from over the pond :-)
13:41:17
<Emily> Ill have fun this weekend
13:41:33
<GO STEAMBOAT> thats no fun. whats the weekend plan?
13:41:47
<ynpvisitor72> Oops, I see Betty found one at 2106 last night. Shortest interval in ages
13:42:08
<Emily> My parents are visiting
13:42:34
<GO STEAMBOAT> ah, free food, i like that :)
13:43:03
<Emily> Yes, theres many nice places with great food here so plenty of places. Also my dad likes the beer
13:43:08
<Dave from B™> haha. Happy Birthday Emily. Is this 21?
13:43:17
<Emily> 22
13:43:45
<Dave from B™> Also, time for me to do a few errands and head home. Have a great evening everyone....Remember my SB 12 hour window opens at 1900.
13:43:48
<GO STEAMBOAT> no bubblers?
13:43:54
<Dave from B™> Happy #22
13:44:04
<Kevin L™🌵> Dave broke BH
13:44:09
<GO STEAMBOAT> thats a bad time Dave, its dark then
13:44:14
<Emily> When i was seeing bh this summer, thw sw bubbler would hiss very close to bhi
13:44:18
<Dave from B™> Does it matter?
13:44:54
<GO STEAMBOAT> haha i guess we want them all at night o it saves up daylight ones for the summer
13:45:07
<Emily> it does like the daylight
13:45:26
<Dave from B™> Is Mammoth to Norris open for bikes now?
13:45:33
<Betty> bye Dave
13:45:58
<Betty> time for me as well. Night all
13:46:09
<Emily> me too
13:46:13
<Kevin L™🌵> Good Knight
13:46:17
<GO STEAMBOAT> night all ..... was it something i said?
13:46:21
<LindaG> Good night
13:46:43
<Emily> Well, for me its time for me to get going on study
13:46:45
<Dave from B™> It's what you didn't say:D
13:46:57
<Kevin L™🌵> Maybe you should take a shower before you start Graham.
13:46:59
<GO STEAMBOAT> enjoy your "studying"
13:47:24
<GO STEAMBOAT> here come the ants again
13:48:10
<LindaG> Ya can't get away from them
13:49:30
<GO STEAMBOAT> interesting clouds on VEC cam
13:50:24
<Kevin L™🌵> Thunder snow in Rexburg
13:50:40
<GO STEAMBOAT> you left already tho, right?
13:50:44
<Bill> ;)
13:50:59
<Kevin L™🌵> I am home.
13:51:17
<GO STEAMBOAT> does the snow scare you most or the thunder?
13:51:37
<Kevin L™🌵> I can deal with thunder.
13:52:00
<ynpvisitor65> what scares you most should be what is making the thunder
13:52:21
<GO STEAMBOAT> iys still snow for Kevin
13:53:43
<ynpvisitor1> Time for Lion
13:54:57
<GO STEAMBOAT> its waiting for me
13:55:53
<ynpvisitor1> Bet that was a nice roar
13:56:15
<ynpvisitor65> looked more like a burp
13:57:47
<Kevin L™🌵> Controls are released Graham.
13:57:52
<GO STEAMBOAT> west has cleared out
13:57:59
<ynpvisitor1> I can see Mouth
13:57:59
<GO STEAMBOAT> ok, thanks
13:59:36
<ynpvisitor65> Lion
13:59:44
<ynpvisitor65> and Marmot's Cave
14:00:24
<ynpvisitor1> Bubblers
14:01:11
<Kevin L™🌵> They knew it was Graham's shift
14:02:54
<ynpvisitor65> Depression is nice and steamy but no bursts yet
14:03:17
<GO STEAMBOAT> i think it had its push a short while ago
14:05:51
<GO STEAMBOAT> unng5
14:07:02
<GO STEAMBOAT> big steam
14:08:19
<ynpvisitor1> Slot?
14:09:18
<GO STEAMBOAT> maybe
14:09:20
<ynpvisitor1> Something directly above OF cone
14:15:19
<GO STEAMBOAT> Giant
14:15:34
<Kevin L™🌵> :)
14:15:56
<GO STEAMBOAT> maybe
14:16:50
<ynpvisitor98> it appears vigorous and tall
14:17:10
<Kevin L™🌵> I think it is
14:17:23
<BSK> Whoop!
14:18:49
<Eric> That seems very Giant :-D
14:18:51
<Eric> woot
14:19:13
<Eric> Thanks for the txt
14:19:37
<Kevin L™🌵> Nice view even white on white.
14:19:41
<Eric> Tell mara to run :-D
14:19:59
<Eric> Bill too
14:20:06
<Bill> She got it! She's right in front of it
14:20:08
<Eric> if he is still hanging around there
14:20:13
<Eric> Sweet!
14:20:37
<Bill> The rest of us are on the road enjoying the view
14:20:39
<Eric> Nice to be able to drive your truck down there :-P
14:20:48
<Bill> Shhhhhh
14:20:52
<ynpvisitor62> So she finally gets Giant
14:20:52
<Bill> Lol
14:21:20
<ynpvisitor62> Are you texting and driving??
14:21:31
<Eric> Watching giant and texting...
14:21:39
<Kevin L™🌵> Super nice. Glad she got it!
14:22:02
<ynpvisitor62> So glad people are there to see it!
14:22:17
<Kevin L™🌵> AND people that care to boot!
14:23:46
<Eric> Not a bad way to end your day of research!
14:24:41
<Eric> BTW....I really, really, really love the facebook live feed they did with the 3 guys working on hydrothermalbiologyish stuff :-D
14:25:20
<Eric> We need MORE of those with researchers! That stuff is gold...especially the biologist, he was AWESOME!
14:27:03
<Bill> Hope we can! Getting ready to drive home
14:27:07
<Bill> Have a good night
14:27:23
<Kevin L™🌵> You too Bill. Drive safe.
14:29:41
<BSK> little blip at Norris
14:29:46
<ynpvisitor83> STEAMBOAT 16:16
14:29:48
<LindaG> So I missed giant. Oh poo
14:30:28
<Kevin L™🌵> Wow! Hurry Bill!
14:30:39
<ynpvisitor83> YNM seismo
14:30:55
<Eric> wowza
14:30:59
<Eric> send another txt
14:31:15
<Eric> For sure...Drive fast to Norris Bill!
14:31:21
<Eric> You can still catch SB :-D
14:31:29
<ynpvisitor83> Can someone post to GT?
14:32:00
<Eric> You or BSK should....you called it :-D
14:32:18
<Eric> it's definitely ie.
14:32:32
<ynpvisitor83> I am deficient - I don't have an account on GT......
14:32:32
<BSK> It's already logged there.
14:32:35
<ynpvisitor98> so Giant and Steamboat are connected. interesting!
14:32:36
<Eric> Now hopefully we can get an actual BH :-D
14:33:03
<Art> Holy crap, Giant and SB!
14:33:09
<Kevin L™🌵> Wait for next Mary Greely blog.....
14:33:13
<Eric> simultaneously
14:33:16
<ynpvisitor98> have a link to the facebook live video?
14:33:27
<ynpvisitor62> We’ve never had them at the same time before!
14:33:49
<Art> That's an amazing coincidence of timing!
14:33:51
<ynpvisitor98> it's like Grand vs Beehive but 100 times worse
14:33:57
<ynpvisitor98> for the gazer
14:34:06
<ynpvisitor62> Kind of good this did not happen in August!
14:34:35
<Eric> https://www.facebook.com/YellowstoneNPS/
14:34:55
<Steph> WOOOOOOT!
14:35:04
<GO STEAMBOAT> EMily gets two birthday presents :)
14:35:25
<GO STEAMBOAT> glad we could see some of Giant
14:35:27
<Eric> Yep...lucky girl :-D
14:35:49
<Eric> Not sure we will even be able to see BH now :-(
14:35:53
<ynpvisitor62> First GT post ever for the guy that posted SB
14:36:08
<Art> Ok back to running Cat6 cables through the attic. Thanks for the text
14:36:19
<Eric> Night art
14:36:30
<Eric> thanks for posting it nlydeen
14:36:43
<ynpvisitor83> SB visible on YNR too.
14:37:20
<ynpvisitor62> Good thing Giant went when we could see it
14:37:48
<GO STEAMBOAT> so....26 25 21 14+ with SB in the lead....of course we may have missed F&M too
14:37:54
<Kevin L™🌵> Now if it will clear for BH
14:38:37
<LindaG> Amazing how quickly the view changes
14:39:51
<nlydeen> I wrote a computer program that sends me a text notification whenever Steamboat erupts. It takes data directly from IRIS so its response time is pretty quick, but I wanted to wait before posting to be sure.
14:42:17
<GO STEAMBOAT> nice job. can you test it on the older daytime ones to check if it works?
14:44:08
<ynpvisitor117> we sending text messages for steamboat now. where is the webcam feed for that?
14:44:37
<GO STEAMBOAT> it was for the researchers
14:45:02
<GO STEAMBOAT> of course they will probably know as they drive back to Mammoth
14:45:05
<nlydeen> I have already verified that the program works for all eruptions going back to 2013.
14:45:35
<GO STEAMBOAT> oh, nice. how quickly do you get the result compared to rel time?
14:45:35
<Steph> Brilliant!
14:46:21
<Eric> Little bit better plot of this eruption: https://service.iris.edu/irisws/timeseries/1/query?net=WY&sta=YNM&cha=HHZ&start=2018-11-07T23:15:00&end=2018-11-08T00:00:00&output=plot&width=1600&height=600&loc=01
14:46:24
<nlydeen> It has about a 1-2 minute response time.
14:46:44
<GO STEAMBOAT> 1512 start for Giant
14:46:50
<GO STEAMBOAT> thats great
14:46:56
<GO STEAMBOAT> 1612
14:47:08
<Eric> haha...I was going to write the same script nlydeen :-D Glad you did it
14:47:49
<Eric> which axis are you using?
14:48:00
<nlydeen> Z-axis
14:48:35
<Eric> Have you compared the N and E axis to the Z?
14:48:45
<Eric> It's interesting to see how different they are
14:49:27
<Eric> I have also noticed some interesting early eruption anomalies with the different axis.
14:50:20
<Eric> Anyway, would love to get a copy of your script/program so I can automate a message on this page as well.
14:50:33
<nlydeen> From what I've seen the Z-axis seems to have the greatest signal-to-noise ratio. The tricky part is not in detecting eruptions, but rather in not emitting false positives (a problem during the summer daytime).
14:50:52
<nlydeen> I'll see about releasing the script once I've cleaned it up some more.
14:51:01
<Eric> Yes, I am sure that is...I assume it's duration that helps with that.
14:51:46
<Eric> How many minutes of eruption do you need before you can eliminate the false positives?
14:52:29
<ynpvisitor78> hmm... if it were to be summer season (this also means no snow storm), I don't think people at Giant and Steamboat would be happy now...
14:52:45
<ynpvisitor78> well, maybe bittersweet
14:53:01
<Eric> I would be happy in either place :-D
14:53:01
<Kevin L™🌵> You can still see some of the Giant steam
14:53:06
<BSK> the squall started after Giant, so we did at least get to see it streaming
14:53:28
<nlydeen> I have it wait one minute, just to be safe, but I am using a convolutional neural network that has been carefully tuned to filter out the noise so in principle it could be less.
14:53:38
<BSK> I bumped my screen contrast a bit to see the plume better - I can still see it.
14:53:49
<Eric> Yep, the snow is clearing
14:53:54
<GO STEAMBOAT> view coming back
14:54:01
<LindaG> I can see the steam
14:54:08
<ynpvisitor78> anyway, off again. Have fun watching Lion.
14:54:35
<GO STEAMBOAT> did Mara have to leave with others early?
14:54:44
<LindaG> Ah ats better
14:55:22
<Eric> Interesting....
14:55:35
<ynpvisitor76> I liked the Steamboat text. I don’t think text is reserved for only things that can be seen on the cam but interesting things. Giant and SB at the same time is worthy.
14:55:45
<Eric> I assume mara is staying at UGB
14:56:04
<GO STEAMBOAT> not sure where the researchers are staying
14:56:06
<Eric> The lifers head back to base camp
14:58:13
<GO STEAMBOAT> still a nice big steam cloud
14:58:53
<LindaG> Yeah it's impressive
15:06:45
<LindaG> Lion ie
15:07:28
<LindaG> Busy night, so how about it bee!
15:08:14
<Eric> Bee is beeeing polite and letting the big geysers go first.
15:08:33
<LindaG> 😊
15:08:53
<Emily> I left
15:09:01
<Eric> I right
15:09:07
<Emily> For an hour and you guys used them both up
15:09:16
<Eric> ohh...Happy Birthday!
15:09:44
<Eric> simultaneous Giant/SB eruptions, just for you.
15:11:57
<GO STEAMBOAT> wb Emily
15:12:04
<GO STEAMBOAT> you still get to see Giant
15:12:16
<GO STEAMBOAT> its still big
15:12:26
<GO STEAMBOAT> and posted on FB too by Pat
15:13:00
<GO STEAMBOAT> Mara posted SB start time so she must have been close and Bill said she was there
15:15:18
<GO STEAMBOAT> my guess is thats SLot or Plate?
15:15:57
<LindaG> I was wondering
15:17:13
<LindaG> Bubblers?
15:17:38
<Kevin L™🌵> Looks like it
15:17:53
<Eric> mara posted SB start time?
15:18:02
<Eric> Did you mean Giant?
15:18:06
<GO STEAMBOAT> sorry Giant
15:18:23
<Eric> ok...I thought that, but wanted to confirm :-D
15:18:30
<GO STEAMBOAT> no details yet but i bet her fingers are cold
15:18:37
<BSK> But if she had the power to be in two places at once, my already significant envy would be unmeasurable.
15:19:20
<GO STEAMBOAT> looks like its still going
15:19:42
<Eric> over an hour now
15:22:01
<Kevin L™🌵> We were wondering what a Giant cloud would look this morning. Now we know.
15:23:08
<LindaG> I'm going to have to look at the replay on this. I missed the eruption. ☹
15:29:55
<GO STEAMBOAT> so next one on Thursday next week?
15:30:01
<GO STEAMBOAT> guess my nick worked :)
15:30:25
<ynpvisitor13> nick?
15:30:36
<Kevin L™🌵> But will it work for the caps?
15:30:42
<ynpvisitor13> oh, the name
15:31:00
<GO F&M> hahav it needs to
15:31:25
<Eric> West gate is pretty with street light and snow
15:31:45
<Eric> gardiner looks amazing too from the whitewater cam
15:45:52
<GO F&M> Giant looks more puffy now, may be just steam?
15:48:34
<GO F&M> Giant done?
16:02:56
<GO F&M> goodnight all
16:58:29
<ynpvisitor106> 10:00:18 ‹Dave from B™› Is today another SB & Giant day?
16:58:56
<ynpvisitor106> YES, it was
17:05:27
<ynpvisitor106> The 4th time they have both erupted on the same day this year: March 15, May 4, Sept 17 and Nov 7
17:19:06
<ynpvisitor79> should have been July, but doubt that got missed ;)
17:22:02
<ynpvisitor106> Every other month...haha
17:35:19
<kcmule> OF
17:39:22
<Dave from B> kcmule, me and you next year for Steamboat. It is OUR turn!!
17:39:52
<Kevin L™🌵> Don't let him fool you kc!
17:40:55
<Dave from B> Hey! What are you still doing up?
17:41:45
<Dave from B> Even Becca got excited today about the 2 biggies erupting minutes apart
17:42:46
<kcmule> our combined forces would surely stop it cold
17:43:38
<Dave from B> haha. I have to try and try again.
17:43:48
<Kevin L™🌵> I still haven't made it to breakfast yet Dave.
17:45:50
<Dave from B> Did you get all your laundry done from your trip?
17:47:27
<Dave from B> Opening Day is April 19th next year
17:51:07
<Dave from B> 163 days to go
17:51:37
<Dave from B> That's about 20 SB eruptions away
17:55:46
<Dave from B> The snowman survives another night
17:58:59
<Kevin L™🌵> Split Cone is trying to be impressive
17:59:44
<Kevin L™🌵> Wife stayed home and did laundry
18:32:02
<ynpvisitor77> What are the odds of Steamboat and Giant erupting within minutes of each other?? Wow
18:36:04
<ynpvisitor77> I don’t want to jinx it but Steamboat’s regularity over the last few months has been remarkable to say the least.
18:38:59
<ynpvisitor13> Ha ha, a person cannot jinx SB, it’s a Geyser!
18:39:39
<Kevin L™🌵> You don't know Dave I take it.
18:46:00
<ynpvisitor77> Maybe SB will show up on the GT predictions page someday
18:48:01
<ynpvisitor77> Although I do miss the old Rare geyser prediction odds page during the early days of GT. That was always fun if anything else.
18:50:53
<ynpvisitor77> Not much scientific value, but fun nonetheless
18:51:45
<ynpvisitor77> Go SB! Go Giant!
19:40:20
<ynpvisitor10> Great viewing tonight. The stars are awesome.
19:43:02
<ynpvisitor10> Is that the glow from West Yellowstone? Sure is bright
19:46:26
<ynpvisitor10> Grans is.
19:46:29
<ynpvisitor10> Ie
19:46:37
<ynpvisitor10> ?
19:50:18
<ynpvisitor10> Don’t do this on your phone :) Possible Grand ie 21:46
20:25:01
<Betty> Sure. I left and everything big went :-)
20:25:52
<Kevin L™🌵> Thanks. Still no BH
20:25:55
<Betty> Nice trace on the seismo
20:26:16
<Betty> Evening Kevin
20:26:59
<Kevin L™🌵> Nice Giant plume on the cam.
20:27:13
<Betty> No bh yet? Are you kidding?
20:27:47
<Betty> Will have to look up the plume later
20:28:23
<Kevin L™🌵> I think it is tired.
20:29:00
<Betty> Just like me:-p
20:29:55
<Kevin L™🌵> I am told I am a tired individual also.
20:31:22
<Betty> I don‘t know why I have to get up that early every day. I‘m not an early Bird at all.
20:33:52
<Betty> Well, enjoy your sleep. See ya
20:34:03
<Betty> Night
