05:02:03
<ynpvisitor66> no sign of bee?
05:02:53
<Joe> Not yet, may be anytime soon
05:03:48
<ynpvisitor66> wow, is all that steam from Castle
05:04:10
<Joe> yes
05:04:36
<ynpvisitor66> oh, just noticed it was ie at 0418
05:05:57
<ynpvisitor66> so is that scissor area on right edge of screen?
05:08:08
<Joe> Bee area above the tree in the dark spot
05:08:40
<Joe> P)ump strait above that
05:08:57
<ynpvisitor66> oh, thought that was scissors area
05:09:08
<Joe> straight *
05:09:55
<ynpvisitor66> oh, ok thanks
05:09:55
<ynpvisitor102> wow nice light
05:10:05
<ynpvisitor102> Lion
05:10:26
<ynpvisitor66> Lion
05:10:45
<Joe> Yes
05:11:19
<Joe> have had b
05:12:03
<ynpvisitor66> when?
05:12:16
<Joe> have had Bee inthe view 99% of the time so still waiting
05:12:29
<ynpvisitor66> oh, ok
05:12:56
<Joe> hit enter too soon :)
05:13:23
<ynpvisitor66> that is ok, I am typing in the dark, so often do that
05:49:57
<ynpvisitor54> I don't understand why the OF Lodge lights are being left on all night
05:50:08
<ynpvisitor54> that facility isn
05:50:19
<ynpvisitor54> isn't even open during the day
05:50:59
<ynpvisitor54> so trying to be green, all of the lights should be turned off
05:52:16
<Joe> They try to make you be green while in the park but they do not do the same
05:52:24
<ynpvisitor54> plus it is a major source of light pollution when trying to enjoy the night skies
05:52:53
<Joe> Co as I tell you to do, not as you see me do :)
05:53:10
<Joe> Co= Do
05:53:19
<ynpvisitor54> and Friday night into Saturday pre dawn is the Quadrantid meteor shower
05:56:27
<ynpvisitor54> preplay
05:57:05
<Joe> Yep, very close
06:05:05
<ynpvisitor54> hm, maybe that wasn't preplay
06:05:18
<ynpvisitor54> seems quiet since then
06:09:20
<ynpvisitor54> Old Faithful
06:09:29
<Joe> there it is
06:10:01
<ynpvisitor54> was going to request wind change, then realized there was a column of water already
06:34:06
<ynpvisitor99> Lion?
06:35:01
<ynpvisitor99> gone
06:35:01
<Joe> just a roar
06:35:46
<ynpvisitor99> ok
07:05:42
<Dave from B™> Good morning everyone
07:06:24
<JarnoO> morning all
07:13:25
<Ryan (desk)> BSB
07:13:36
<Ryan (desk)> 0713ie
07:14:34
<Ryan (desk)> It *was* ie
07:14:40
<Ryan (desk)> Check the cature.
07:16:54
<Joe> yes it was there
07:23:22
<Dave from B™> We have a BH watcher
07:45:05
<JarnoO> fluffy
07:46:58
<ynpvisitor15> nice static shot
07:48:55
<ynpvisitor15> was that a short?
07:49:10
<ynpvisitor15> no, looking at wrong time
08:03:06
<Titanium Dream> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xwX84DOz2XQ
08:06:36
<JarnoO> hm, stream isn't enjoying the weather it seems
08:09:00
<JarnoO> morning Jimbo, Chancellor and Micah
08:09:08
<JarnoO> as well as Mike
08:09:13
<Micah (Dorm)> Good Morning JarnoO
08:09:57
<Chancellor> good morning
08:10:48
<Micah (Dorm)> Really interesting how shorts have all but disappeared.
08:11:48
<Ryan (meeting)> ....go do laundry then?
08:12:19
<Micah (Dorm)> Nice.
08:12:26
<Titanium Dream> Ha
08:12:26
<Dave from B™> Who wears shorts in this kind of weather?
08:12:35
<Micah (Dorm)> More like brew coffee and shower. Today's dorm and chore day.
08:12:38
<Titanium Dream> morning JarnoO
08:12:44
<Ryan (desk)> I stopped questioning him a long time ago.
08:13:00
<Micah (Dorm)> Yeah, because you know I'm always right.
08:13:53
<Titanium Dream> But you don't know where your shorts are. :D
08:13:55
<Dave from B™> Micah, is this your first time to YNP in winter?
08:14:28
<Micah (Dorm)> Dave from B that is correct
08:15:07
<Dave from B™> So, what do you think? Isn't it a totally different experience?
08:15:28
<Micah (Dorm)> Definitely requires some adjusting.
08:15:34
<Ryan (desk)> I heed to everything micah says except waterfall classifications, Fountain stalls, waterfall heights, sinter classifications, and Yahtzee.
08:16:05
<Dave from B™> haha Ryan...I laugh at the last item
08:16:15
<Micah (Dorm)> All the employee bikes have transformed into Skis. There are paths where you would never think there would be. Different Wildlife, and more comradeship.
08:16:34
<Micah (Dorm)> You get Triple Yahtzee ONE time....
08:16:56
<Ryan (desk)> Not my fault the trees are easily disturbed.
08:17:01
<Micah (Dorm)> Also I'm warming up to your waterfall system.
08:17:13
<Micah (Dorm)> And I thought we agreed on Sinter classification?
08:17:13
<Dave from B™> Is he accusing you of rolling 1 too many times?
08:17:32
<Ryan (desk)> Cave classes 4 lyfe
08:17:50
<Ryan (desk)> No, I'm just good at Yahtzee ;)
08:18:09
<Micah (Dorm)> Oh. THAT.
08:18:15
<Micah (Dorm)> You and your underground bias
08:18:41
<Micah (Dorm)> Stop trying to make flowstone and rimstone happen, it's not going to happen.
08:18:55
<Ryan (desk)> It already did happen.
08:19:02
<Micah (Dorm)> In caves yeah.
08:19:05
<Micah (Dorm)> Where it belongs.
08:19:15
<Micah (Dorm)> At Mammoth hot springs sure.
08:19:25
<Micah (Dorm)> Where the deposits are the same.
08:19:27
<Ryan (desk)> Not my fault sinter is crap at redeposition.
08:19:57
<Ryan (desk)> See everyone, this is what happenes with the Sputs behind closed doors. We talk, things get heated, Yahtzee dice get thrown. Good times.
08:20:13
<Micah (Dorm)> Not my fault that Travertine and Cave deposits are crap at staying intact long enough to make a mark in the rock record....
08:20:36
<Ryan (desk)> Just travertine.
08:20:52
<Micah (Dorm)> It's all CaCO2.
08:20:57
<Micah (Dorm)> SiO2 is superior.
08:21:16
<Ryan (desk)> The 100% humidity underground keeps calcite intact for a really long time even after deposition stopped.
08:22:16
<Ryan (desk)> Dont hate on CaCO3 (THREE btw), its just depositing in the wrong place. A fish will always feel like an idiot if its judged on its ability to walk.
08:22:22
<Titanium Dream> If it's CaCO2, write the paper and be acclaimed by science.
08:22:35
<Micah (Dorm)> Dammit, I get that wrong every time.
08:23:12
<Titanium Dream> I've got my ion you
08:24:24
<Dave from B™> haha Jimbo
08:24:56
<Titanium Dream> I'm here all week.
08:25:03
<Titanium Dream> Fortunately the week is almost over.
08:25:14
<Micah (Dorm)> I'll cheers to that.
08:25:21
<Micah (Dorm)> I forgot what 8 hours of sleep felt like.
08:26:41
<Ryan (desk)> These two weeks of Wednesday off were crap
08:28:58
<Dave from B™> Next year, they will fall on Friday
08:29:22
<Ryan (desk)> I know.
08:29:36
<Ryan (desk)> I am going lava tubing and lava hunting on the Big Island next Christmas/New Years
08:30:14
<Dave from B™> That will be fun
08:31:31
<Ryan (desk)> It will be if Kilauea decides to get its act together and start erupting again
08:31:50
<Dave from B™> That doesn't seem likely
08:31:52
<Micah (Dorm)> It's a Volcano. It does what it wants ;)
08:32:03
<Ryan (desk)> At least the ocean entry fronts are still active, I think.
08:32:03
<Dave from B™> Although, you could swimming in the new lake:)
08:32:34
<Ryan (desk)> My threshold is SB. I want either lava fountains over 400ft or sunrise at a lava entry.
08:32:37
<Ryan (desk)> To much to ask?
08:39:18
<JarnoO> Ryan, how about Mauna Loa rather than Kilauea?
08:40:07
<Ryan (desk)> I dont care I just want vertically moving lava
08:41:25
<Titanium Dream> Go lava surfing: https://live.staticflickr.com/2196/2513452449_cf1246a561_b.jpg
08:43:50
<Ryan (desk)> bsb?
08:47:16
<Dave from B™> The webcam started failing about the time Micah arrived in OF.....hmmmm:)
09:01:38
<Ryan (desk)> BSB 0901
09:01:48
<Ryan (desk)> ie
09:01:52
<Ryan (desk)> or ne i guess
09:01:56
<Ryan (desk)> off to luch

<Kevin L™🌵> hi
11:15:47
<LindaG> zzzzzzzzzzzzz
11:16:37
<Dave from B™> Did someone say they needed some predictions?
11:17:11
<Dave from B™> Prediction #1....Eric will climb Mt St Helen's at least 5 times in 2020
11:18:06
<Kevin L™🌵> Dave will break something at work at least 10 times.
11:19:55
<LindaG> I will master the art of typing...
11:20:02
<LindaG> uh...nope
11:20:06
<Dave from B™> Our family will have fewer flat tires in 2020 compared to the 4 in 2019
11:20:39
<LindaG> giantess will.erupt
11:21:24
<Kevin L™🌵> I will have at least 3 packages take up residence in Phoenix.
11:21:25
<CraigC> I promise I didn't do it... my neighbor's mailbox is tipped over
11:21:28
<LindaG> And Craig will take out at least.2 more mailboxes
11:21:38
<Kevin L™🌵> :)
11:21:45
<Dave from B™> :D :D at CraigC
11:21:57
<CraigC> I've been laughing all morning about it
11:22:19
<Kevin L™🌵> It was weakened by your hit.
11:22:27
<ynpvisitor55> .
11:22:37
<Dave from B™> Just when CraigC thinks it safe at SB, someone, not only sits in his chair, but helps himself to his snacks as well
11:22:39
<LindaG> CraigC, hi
11:23:59
<LindaG> lion wants to do it

<Dave from B™> 3 geysers, which have been sleeping for over a year, will awaken this year for at least one eruption
11:27:40
<Dave from B™> My picks: F&M, Giant and ?
11:28:27
<Ryan (desk)> F&M, Giantess, and Sawmill
11:29:35
<LindaG> nothing has erupted since I got on. and then they will all go at once.
11:30:51
<Eric> love this view

<Kevin L™🌵> Please keep it up there
11:35:00
<Eric> no promises kevin
11:35:08
<Eric> We are sharing kinda people
11:35:21
<Ryan (desk)> Where are we looking
11:35:31
<LindaG> sounds nice eric
11:36:12
<Ryan (desk)> Wow. Never recognized that view zoomed in like that
11:36:17
<Eric> wherever the camop points Ryan
11:36:33
<Eric> ohh, I missed the zoom
11:36:35
<ynpvisitor75> you mean Ear and Pendant?
11:37:00
<Ryan (desk)> Yes, 75. I dont reecognize shades of gray from the top of the inn that well yet.
11:37:03
<LindaG> thats where i was
11:38:45
<LindaG> an eruption
11:38:51
<LindaG> bulger
11:40:38
<ynpvisitor75> turban, maybe
11:41:09
<ynpvisitor75> Bulger major
11:47:59
<LindaG> my screen frozen
11:48:08
<LindaG> there we go
11:48:28
<LindaG> in freeze frame mode
11:48:54
<ynpvisitor117> Mine is cold but eventually moves.
11:49:47
<LindaG> IT ie
11:49:50
<LindaG> OT
11:58:20
<Eric> YVO January Video Update: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XcRAlDQzdak
11:58:35
<Eric> not much new there, but interesting anyway :-D
11:59:10
<Eric> Mike should wear a hat every month :-P
12:06:19
<LindaG> daisy
12:22:20
<Dave from B™>
12:27:25
<ynpvisitor102> the Webcam Failing notice needs to be changed. I am sure the cam is fine. It is the transmission that is failing, right?
12:27:43
<ynpvisitor102> something like...Feed Going Down...
12:28:12
<Ryan (desk)> The webcam system includes everything from the camera lens to the transmitter.
12:28:18
<ynpvisitor102> or Feed Sucks
12:28:47
<Ryan (desk)> Its basically a big black box with light going in and video signals coming out of the park. If anything in that box fails then its considered the webcam going down.
12:28:53
<ynpvisitor102> I realize that yet I am betting the cam itself is fine
12:29:23
<Ryan (desk)> Maybe its not. Cameras do weird things in the cold.
12:29:49
<ynpvisitor102> this one is heated
12:29:54
<ynpvisitor102> and is fine
12:29:56
<LindaG> I'm not experiencing any.problems
12:29:59
<Ryan (desk)> To be fair, it does say "webcam failing. Not "camera failing"/
12:30:13
<LindaG> Of
12:30:25
<Ryan (desk)> One is all inclusive, and one is a specific component.
12:31:13
<ynpvisitor102> fluff
12:31:32
<ynpvisitor102> East Entrance back open
12:33:26
<Ryan (desk)> On my end it looks like I have a static cam :D
12:33:39
<Ryan (desk)> Refreshinfing every second or so.
12:34:21
<LindaG> Ryan (desk), I had that earlier
12:34:52
<Ryan (desk)> Who decided to put the note "Webcam is TROUBLED" on the dashboard for a sucky stream? That's hysterical!
12:35:26
<LindaG> wonder if we missed grand
12:40:29
<Ryan (desk)> ding?
12:40:39
<Ryan (desk)> BSB
12:40:51
<Ryan (desk)> 1240.
12:41:00
<Ryan (desk)> I thought that was INDY
12:41:02
<Dave from B™> You can thank Eric
12:41:12
<LindaG> I yup
12:41:29
<Dave from B™> C'mon, SB! It is time for #1 for 2020
12:42:18
<Ryan (desk)> only 7.5d, need about ten more hours lol
12:42:58
<LindaG> grand
12:42:59
<LindaG> .
12:43:13
<Dave from B™> First eruption last year was Jan 4....we have to stay ahead of last year's pace!:D
12:43:15
<LindaG> ..
12:43:44
<Ryan (desk)> with gray on gray can we try to see both Grand and BH? Indy could be very soon.
12:47:22
<Dave from B™> Welcome home Chancellor
12:50:18
<LindaG> second?
12:50:40
<Chancellor> yes, nice to be back
12:50:55
<Kevin L™🌵> I think so.
12:50:59
<Chancellor> Staying at Old Faithful for 3 days over Christmas was beautiful
12:51:03
<LindaG> Kevin L™🌵, me to
12:51:10
<LindaG> Chancellor, hi
13:05:39
<LindaG> bsb
13:14:41
<Cooper> good to see I did not miss Bee yet!
13:15:59
<LindaG> Cooper, hi yup still waiting
13:16:15
<Cooper> LindaG, bonjoir
13:22:49
<LindaG> I think steamers
13:23:11
<ynpvisitor39> With butter and garlic?
13:23:20
<LindaG> yum
13:23:46
<Cooper> yum, 39, you have my chops watering......
13:23:51
<Cooper> and my dogs now too
13:27:42
<ynpvisitor39> They will go good with the bison when it come of the spit.
13:28:52
<Cooper> my dog is straing at me like, "Food, Food, Food, Treat, Treat, Treat, give me your bacon. I love you soooooo much, so can I have a piece of bacon?"
13:29:02
<LindaG> aurum
13:29:03
<LindaG> .
13:29:03
<LindaG> .
13:29:04
<LindaG> .
13:29:08
<Cooper> yippe
13:29:27
<Ryan (desk)> nice delay
13:29:48
<JarnoO> nice surprise
13:30:14
<LindaG> .I was hoping it would go about that timw
13:30:18
<Titanium Dream> Don't slip
13:30:25
<Ryan (desk)> Wow you can see the 3 oclock vent, too
13:30:31
<JarnoO> also nice to see NPS predictions in the predictions tab
13:31:02
<Kevin L™🌵> :)
13:31:45
<Ryan (desk)> Wow theres a huge huge huge difference in castle predictions
13:32:13
<LindaG> Eric fixed it I guess. nps had made some changes
13:34:02
<Ryan (desk)> NPS @ 1745 and GT @ 1858
13:34:09
<Ryan (desk)> Someone has the wrong interval
13:34:19
<Ryan (desk)> I think ours is skewed by the missed eruptions.
13:35:35
<JarnoO> most recent two eruptions of Castle were a minor and major one. Only thing is, is that the minor happened a day before the major and thus likely isn't a minor-major pair
13:36:19
<Ryan (desk)> Yeah I think those are screweing with the GT interval
13:37:13
<JarnoO> there's a major missing inbetween, likely around 8 to 9 hours after the minor so that you get an interval of ~9-10h and ~15-16h
13:37:37
<JarnoO> or 2+ minors, who knows :)
13:38:11
<Ryan (desk)> oh im sure thats the case
13:38:15
<Kevin L™🌵> I suspect VEC has e times that aren't posted.
13:38:22
<JarnoO> think so too
13:38:36
<Ryan (desk)> I think the VEC is susing a standard prediction time regardless of what the last few intervals on GT are
13:39:11
<Ryan (desk)> Why wouldnt they post all of th E times and only some?
13:39:57
<JarnoO> it seems they usually post only E times of the current day rather than looking back and fill in the blanks
13:40:17
<JarnoO> though with Daisy they tend to do a pretty decent job
13:40:29
<Ryan (desk)> Do they have data for more than the last day?
13:40:49
<Ryan (desk)> I just dont understand why theyd stop at midnight or 245hrs...
13:41:22
<JarnoO> I hope that their fancy bluetooth loggers upload their data when a connection is made between it and a phone
13:42:07
<Rice> Where do you find the E-times posted?
13:42:15
<ynpvisitor39> I doubt it. Would drain the batteries if they talked every time someone walked by.
13:42:45
<Ryan (desk)> You can upload to a phone if you have the password.
13:43:03
<Ryan (desk)> It'll connect to any phone with the hobo ware app
13:43:23
<Ryan (desk)> Actually, itll connect to any phone with bluetooth. You just need the app to see the data
13:45:07
<JarnoO> does it also charge the batteries using solar panels?
13:45:32
<Ryan (desk)> I think they get pulled and recharged relatively routinely
13:46:38
<LindaG> slow geyser day. I guess I'm going to end on OF
13:58:43
<Ryan (desk)> have a good weekend
13:59:15
<JarnoO> cya Ryan
13:59:28
<LindaG> Ryan (desk), bye
13:59:47

<Joe> I like to hear my self talk :)
14:11:59
<Cooper> Jarno, maybe he was really exited, is he on jeporady?
14:12:05
<JarnoO> haha
14:16:36
<ynpvisitor39> No, if he were on Jeopardy, he would have had to answer in the form of a question. Like is that OF?
14:17:13
<Cooper> ok t hen he is on the price is right!
14:18:58
<Cooper> or is he on, Ultimate Nerd Competition:p
15:18:34
<Dave from B™> Time to head out. Have a great evening everyone!
15:18:49
<Cooper> Dave from B™, bye
15:18:50
<Kevin L™🌵> Good knight
15:31:28
<ynpvisitor75> bsb
15:32:26
<ynpvisitor75> hm, not now
15:33:42
<Micah (Dorm)> There are steamers both immediately beside the South Bubbler and the West Bubbler.
15:33:48
<Micah (Dorm)> Can make it look like they're erupting from a distance.
15:33:55
<Micah (Dorm)> And sometimes even from the boardwalk.
15:38:22
<JarnoO> OF
15:41:40
<GO STEAMBOAT> good afternoon
15:42:00
<Kevin L™🌵> hi
15:42:20
<GO STEAMBOAT> any in-basin time coming up for you Micah?
15:42:42
<JarnoO> afternoon Graham
15:42:46
<Micah (Dorm)> Not for a couple days
15:52:54
<GO STEAMBOAT> maybe you will get a run by an erupting SB coming up then
15:53:11
<Micah (Dorm)> That's a negative.
15:54:41
<Eric> Probably go tonight :-(
15:55:06
<Micah (Dorm)> Oh well.
15:55:09
<Eric> We will be at 8 days in 4 hours
15:57:14
<GO STEAMBOAT> we are over the median for the last 100 eruptions already
15:57:44
<GO STEAMBOAT> overnight isnt bad tho, because theres usually the 10h resurgence of water
16:01:39
<Eric> or a sunrise Steamboat tomorrow wouldn't be bad either :-D
16:02:34
<Micah (Dorm)> You coming in tomorrow Eric?
16:06:58
<GO STEAMBOAT> Craig will already be there, bet he beats Eric in
16:07:37
<Kevin L™🌵> Just look for mailboxes on the ground.
16:08:05
<Micah (Dorm)> Oh I didn't realize that. I'll have to track them both down!
16:08:15
<Micah (Dorm)> Eric How long are you in for?
16:08:20
<GO STEAMBOAT> Lion
16:09:16
<Eric> Graham is a comodian :-P I am not in the park!
16:09:33
<Eric> I have no idea if Craig will be or not.
16:09:49
<Micah (Dorm)> Darn!
16:09:51
<Eric> I should have come over the winter break and camped
16:09:54
<GO STEAMBOAT> i dont think his tailer would make it to Norris now
16:09:58
<Eric> Nice looking lion
16:10:08
<Micah (Dorm)> I could have used a second pair of eyes for my Bulger-Old Tardy-Crystal Project
16:11:01
<Eric> crystal having activity?
16:11:16
<ynpvisitor75> yay Lion
16:11:17
<Eric> Ask Bill to put loggers on them :-D
16:11:45
<Eric> I would love to see relationships of those 3 geysers
16:12:31
<Eric> Why not include belgian in there too?
16:13:57
<ynpvisitor75> I take it this is a Lion ini
16:14:07
<GO STEAMBOAT> lion is an initial based on duration
16:15:19
<Micah (Dorm)> The initial that Rachel and I saw the other day had one heck of a slow start.
16:15:28
<Micah (Dorm)> and then the second finally erupted on the 6th roar.
16:15:40
<Micah (Dorm)> I used to walk away from Lion if it didn't erupt on the 3rd. Guess I learned something new.
16:16:13
<GO STEAMBOAT> i usualy wait for 4 and call it done
16:16:20
<GO STEAMBOAT> noting out of NG?
16:16:31
<Micah (Dorm)> Just doing it's normal 12 minute cycles.
16:16:39
<Micah (Dorm)> Need another disturbance to get it going again.
16:16:50
<Eric> and warmer weather? :-P
16:16:52
<GO STEAMBOAT> 12 is long
16:17:02
<Micah (Dorm)> It's usually 12 from peak to peak.
16:17:09
<GO STEAMBOAT> i prefer 5
16:17:11
<Eric> I wonder with all those fills and surface temps if it cools the system down
16:17:57
<GO STEAMBOAT> i think it was doing 10m this fall
16:17:58
<Micah (Dorm)> if fills cool it down then extended fills would have a negative effect right?
16:18:11
<Micah (Dorm)> I don't think the fills are what keeps it from erupting.
16:18:30
<ynpvisitor75> wow, that was a lot of steam from fluffy a moment ago
16:18:42
<Eric> No...extended fills might keep the cooling water out and let the sub-surface stuff heat.
16:19:29
<Eric> yep, nice mid cycle puff: https://geysercam.xyz/ugb-ynp/01032020/779.jpg
16:19:46
<ynpvisitor75> When do you get to go in to YNP Graham?
16:19:48
<Eric> The cycling is what keeps it from erupting
16:20:10
<Eric> ^^ brainstorming, not stating facts :-P
16:21:41
<ynpvisitor75> I thought they fixed the webcam
16:22:10
<GO STEAMBOAT> i am supposed to be there on 18th, at OF on 19th. some chance i have to cancel tho
16:22:31
<Micah (Dorm)> Noooooo
16:22:37
<Micah (Dorm)> Who's gonna watch all the sputs with me then?
16:23:27
<GO STEAMBOAT> i have to keep my mom out of the hospital first
16:23:56
<Eric> Best of luck Graham...I have been dealing with parent health the last 2 months :-(
16:25:25
<GO STEAMBOAT> yeah no fun
16:25:37
<Micah (Dorm)> Sorry to hear that Graham.
16:26:10
<GO STEAMBOAT> i am still hopeful i can go
16:26:20
<GO STEAMBOAT> if not its an expensive cancellation
16:29:23
<ynpvisitor75> as far as your park stay, you should be able to tell them it is a family health issue
16:30:21
<ynpvisitor75> Don't you get travel insurance for your flights?
16:30:34
<GO STEAMBOAT> i would ty .. but I am guessing that with only 13 prior winter trips in row that won't be enough to get me anywhere
16:44:19
<ynpvisitor93> Dave's super bee time ha run out hasn't it?
16:44:32
<ynpvisitor93> He said something about 2 hours a while ago
16:59:36
<Micah (Dorm)> Off to do Steam and Stars. Goodnight everyone.
16:59:54
<ynpvisitor31> bye Micah
16:59:55
<ynpvisitor31> Enjoy
17:00:06
<Eric> night micah

<Cooper> well, not wow.
17:11:27
<Cooper> but usually I am on minimal delay.
17:12:11
<ynpvisitor23> better wind direction than earlier
17:12:15
<ynpvisitor23> for this cam view
17:12:25
<ynpvisitor23> not so much for the peeps on those benches
17:16:35

<Cooper> maybe
17:51:58
<Cooper> C'Mon Lion
17:51:59
<Cooper> do it this time
17:52:04
<Cooper> or not.
18:03:33
<ynpvisitor66> Norovirus has broken out at OF and Mammoth. I hope Micah stays well
18:03:55
<ynpvisitor66> Read a notice from someone working at Lake
18:27:47
<GO STEAMBOAT> Aurum?
18:28:25
<Cooper> was jsut about to ask the same question Graham
18:28:27
<Cooper> I think so
18:28:31
<Cooper> looks like it
18:28:38
<GO STEAMBOAT> Joe posted it, so it is so
18:28:55
<Cooper> what Joe says is the Truth:)
20:06:51
<Cooper> R-Side IE
21:15:44
<ynpvisitor20> very pixelly bee area
21:15:48
<ynpvisitor20> still no bee
21:17:00
<ynpvisitor20> so is that depression area that has so much steam?
21:20:14
<ynpvisitor20> wow, no predictions
21:22:55
<ynpvisitor20> someone on boardwalk near Depression
21:24:05
<ynpvisitor20> if they have Noro virus then everyone needs to start washing hands frequently and using sleeve or paper towel to open doors
21:28:12
<Cooper> I think that is Micha out by Lion
21:28:22
<Cooper> Micah**
21:54:44
<Kevin L™🌵> Lion
22:24:17
<ynpvisitor36> so far partly cloudy
22:24:32
<ynpvisitor36> need it clear for the meteor shower
22:27:31
<ynpvisitor36> I want a bee time story
23:59:22
<ynpvisitor28> Joe, did you beam yourself in for Aurum?
