08:46:05
<LindaG> Hi tom
08:46:25
<TomK> Good morning all.
08:46:32
<JarnoO> morning Tom
08:46:35
<Kevin L™ 🌵> Hi
08:46:39
<TomK> Cam controls very slow loading
08:46:57
<LindaG> TomK, ok you can take when you want
08:47:49
<TomK> I need a few minutes to get set up
08:48:09
<LindaG> no problem
08:48:33
<TomK> The cam has been loading at least 10 minutes
08:48:58
<LindaG> Didnthat to me and i close and went back in
08:49:18
<LindaG> *closed
08:49:25
<TomK> I'll try that
08:54:02
<TomK> loaded now. Any wild guesses on what to watch for?
08:54:22
<LindaG> Waiting on lion
08:55:26
<LindaG> Last ine isnt marked as an ini
08:55:39
<LindaG> So not sure about when
08:55:41
<TomK> OK, I'll take it
08:56:02
<TomK> Listed as 0731
08:56:12
<LindaG> Ok controls released
08:56:36
<LindaG> TomK, looks like only lion this morning but no ini on it
08:57:10
<LindaG> Daisy has been doing under 2 hrs
08:57:32
<LindaG> Last interval was 12 hrs 50 min ago
08:57:55
<LindaG> Good luck
08:58:18
<TomK> Let's see if I can get daisy and lion on the screen
09:00:25
<A> Last Lion 0731:35 to 0735:22 so imho not ini
09:04:57
<A> the hill was not covered until 0653, before that it was down basin and OF
09:07:17
<A> the 'night camop' chose to look for Grand and OF, and there was the matter of snow covering things, hence no Daisy
09:10:41
<TomK> Just timed that car and chat window is about 20 seconds delay from cam.
09:13:37
<TomK> lots of steam at daisy, no water
09:15:47
<A> Based on avg. 2 hour Daisy, Dasy in ~50 minutes
09:16:11
<A> But then, "it's a geyser"
09:17:06
<TomK> I always used to tell visitors, "never trust a geyser!"
09:17:19
<JarnoO> smart :)
09:18:43
<A> Daisy
09:18:53
<A> HaHA
09:19:33
<A> Daisy
09:19:35
<JarnoO> intervals must've been closer to 2h20m overnight. Daisy doesn't like bad weather nor strong winds
09:19:37
<A> .
09:19:55
<JarnoO> it's a diva among geysers :)
09:20:40
<TomK 2> Lost the chat, back as tomk2
09:21:22
<A> Talk about a geyser and It makes mee look like a fool :)
09:21:38
<A> me**
09:24:24
<TomK 2> We used to plan geyser hill walks, CW vs CCW depending on the last Plume eruption... Then one day Plume died.
09:26:10
<A> ‹TomK› I always used to tell visitors, "never trust A geyser!" you are absolutely correct!!
09:26:46
<JarnoO> Tom, based on what did you plan Hill walks after Plume died?
09:27:00
<JarnoO> or did you just go whatever direction you felt like?
09:28:14
<TomK 2> I preferred CW, ended the talk at Giantess
09:28:40
<Kevin L™ 🌵> Tom, does Butch ever work there anymore?
09:29:36
<TomK 2> Yes, usually either early or late season
09:29:52
<TomK 2> I'll check with Joanne. brb
09:30:06
<A> TomK 2, How many years were you a Park Ranger??
09:30:44
<Kevin L™ 🌵> Nice. I have been around there during those times but he was one of the first gazers I met. Took me to some very interesting places.
09:31:39
<TomK 2> Butch will fill in late August/ Sept this summer
09:32:17
<TomK 2> I was there 16 summers
09:33:00
<TomK 2> 12 at OF, 3 at Madison/Norris and one summer driving the bus
09:33:35
<A> TomK 2, Thanks
09:34:31
<TomK 2> Butch has been at OF around 40 years, took me to soe "interesting" places too
09:35:36
<TomK 2> Joanne has worked in the park 25 summers.
09:35:37
<JarnoO> I assume most of these places are off-limits now
09:35:55
<TomK 2> ;)
09:36:20
<Kevin L™ 🌵> Sure miss them.
09:36:45
<A> Aurum is hot
09:36:55
<TomK 2> Some of the places we used to lead walks are now off limits. most notably Pocket Basin, Queen's Laundry...
09:36:58
<Kevin L™ 🌵> T Scott did an awesome walk to White Creek for the gazers.
09:37:54
<TomK 2> Right, also white creek, tomato pools
09:38:51
<A> Was it Doublet causing me some excitement ?
09:39:06
<Kevin L™ 🌵> I was sitting at BH when Indy went off. About 5m later Butch came up with a ranger walk and was about to head up toward Giantess. I routed him to BH. He said that was only the 3rd time he had seen it closeup. Tour group loved it.
09:41:36
<TomK 2> That's surprising. I had walks at BH many times, always paid attention to the gazers on the radio.
09:42:27
<TomK 2> Also took a group to my first Giant on advise from Mary Beth.
09:43:15
<Kevin L™ 🌵> That was in the late 70's. No radios!
09:44:02
<TomK 2> Oh, Butch's first BH in late 70s, that explains it.
09:44:40
<TomK 2> My first summer as ranger was 1995
09:47:57
<Kevin L™ 🌵> My first trip was '69 but only got to see what Dad could get through the windshield for the most part. Once I got out of the service I came back and Her Warren routed me to Grand.
09:54:12
<TomK 2> My first visit was in fall of 1987, spent a week, said at the time it wasn't enough, never thought I'd get back again.
09:54:14
<Kevin L™ 🌵> This looks like a giant red Aurum. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S_B0ji5dnwo&ab_channel=Vi%C3%B0bur%C3%B0astofaVestfjar%C3%B0aVi%C3%B0bur%C3%B0astofaVestfjar%C3%B0a

<TomK 2> Not paying attention... Ouch

<nutz> Anyone buying a lottery ticket today?
11:46:06
<Craig M> morning all :)
11:46:34
<TomK 2> hi
11:46:51
<Craig M> why are we buying lottery tickets?
11:47:19
<nutz> Same chance of winning as getting hit by a chineese rocket.
11:47:34
<nutz> One would be more rewarding
12:04:26
<JarnoO> 1155:11 long 3m55s
12:05:19
<nutz> I thought they did not like electric bikes?
12:14:44
<JarnoO> Grand
12:18:20
<BenVL> Nice height on that start
12:27:36
<JarnoO> T1Q 10m51s
12:28:23
<TomK 2> Nothing else predicted for the rest of my shift, any requests? the Hill, Myriad?
12:28:52
<JarnoO> Hill would be fine
12:29:09
<TomK 2> Look for lion/bh/whatever
12:29:37
<nutz> Anemone
12:33:51
<BenVL> You could spin around in circles again
12:34:02
<JarnoO> oh no
12:34:28
<nutz> You want to tie the string in knots?
12:34:30
<TomK 2> OK, where's the button for that?
12:34:36
<Kevin 🚂> No indicator BH for Ben?
12:34:52
<BenVL> I would love that
12:35:11
<BenVL> Just don't look at it
12:35:55
<nutz> Nice poomp
12:36:41
<BenVL> I need to make a baseline for it this year
12:38:04
<nutz> Indy free bh, or poomp?
12:38:56
<BenVL> Beehive, with and without indy
12:39:54
<nutz> I will not be in the park, so it will go back to 12 hour intervals, and fountain will go to 5's
12:41:37
<BenVL> Can you get fountain to do 9's instead?
12:42:31
<nutz> Only planning on staying in basin for 8 hours?
12:42:57
<BenVL> No, I want to see morning :)
12:53:04
<Ben VL> Hi Jeff
12:53:21
<Jeff> hi ben
12:56:44
<TomK 2> Who's on cam next? Got to switch to OF if no one takes the cam at 1300
13:00:08
<TomK 2> Got to go folks, cya next week, was it good for you too?
13:00:20
<JarnoO> cya Tom
13:00:31
<JarnoO> I enjoyed it
13:00:35
<TomK 2> bye
13:08:29
<nutz> The anti wiggle algorithm, has problems.
13:09:32
<nutz> That, or the hill has a heart beat
13:11:13
<JarnoO> oh hi Bee
13:11:34
<Ben VL> HAAAA
13:11:36
<Ben VL> xDDDD
13:12:02
<nutz> You are in charge of the no indy interval now.
13:12:54
<JarnoO> no Indicator or <2m Indicator
13:13:23
<nutz> I did not see it when we moved.
13:14:11
<Michelle> Just came on, if there was an indicator, I missed it.
13:14:40
<Ben VL> I have missed the start of a no indicator bee in-person by a shorter window than that
13:14:57
<nutz> If it is not on GT, it did not happen.
13:17:15
<nutz> Time for other things. Enjoy.
13:17:27
<JarnoO> cya
13:22:06
<Michelle> Kat, are you there? Why is OF close and OF views reversed
13:29:21
<JarnoO> afternoon Korben. EPac 70/70
13:30:32
<KorbenC> Hey Jarno, good to see that.
13:36:01
<Betty> bah, I missed BH
13:36:52
<Betty> afternoon all, evening JarnoO
13:44:57
<Michelle> Can't seem to get the little feature on the river.
13:47:11
<JarnoO> evening Betty
13:48:13
<JarnoO> logger update: Steamboat, Tantalus and Vixen Soil are observationally dead. All other ones working as expected
13:53:52
<KorbenC> Certainly looks like a D on Constant temp
13:54:54
<JarnoO> last Whirligig minor on May 5. Number of data points per Whirligig eruption increasing, as it did with the previous disturbance
13:57:59
<JarnoO> intervals are increasing at a much quicker pace than the winter disturbance. It took about 7 days for Whirligig to reach an interval of ±3h30m with the previous disturbance, opposed to barely 3 this time
13:59:35
<Ben VL> The whirligig intervals increased fairly quickly on the July 30/31 2019 D as well
14:00:22
<JarnoO> maybe the quicker the interval rise, the shorter the disturbance?
14:00:42
<JarnoO> Weren't the 2019 disturbances on the shorter side of things?
14:01:05
<Ben VL> The summer one was very short
14:01:45
<Ben VL> Sb's interval was 12d. That one started while I was in the campground
14:02:09
<Ben VL> the winter/spring one was a bit larger
14:02:28
<Ben VL> I think SB may have actually erupted DURING that D
14:06:46
<JarnoO> SB has definitely changed how it behaves during disturbances. It now seems like it can erupt just before one starts or just after one ends, rather than being zapped
14:08:56
<Ben VL> Wow Giantess is a very light blue roday
14:08:59
<Ben VL> today
14:09:10
<KorbenC> Hi Ben
14:09:17
<Ben VL> Hia
14:18:53
<Michelle> Sorry, can't get the pan like Joe does down. Someday!
14:19:49
<Kevin L™ 🌵> With this cam you are lucky just to get it to move!
14:20:51
<Kevin L™ 🌵> Talked to Dan Markoff today Korben. He should have the Eureka in Antoninto the last week of August.
14:22:50
<linda> hey hey
14:23:13
<linda> Was just reviewing my reservations for Sept.
14:23:18
<JarnoO> Riverside
14:27:57
<JarnoO> AURUM
14:28:09
<JarnoO> oops, caps lock
14:28:17
<Kevin L™ 🌵> :)
14:28:36
<linda> :)
14:35:22
<Michelle> Pump?
14:35:50
<JarnoO> that's Pump yeah
14:36:00
<Betty> watch the mighty Bald eagles: https://www.raptorresource.org/birdcams/decorah-eagles/?cid=mc-00398eca689102f326e5be62c34c1844&month=2&yr=2018
14:38:22
<Kevin L™ 🌵> I want to watch the wimpy ones.
14:39:21
<JarnoO> cam's tired
14:40:03
<Kevin L™ 🌵> Michelle killed the cam!
14:41:17
<Michelle> Still trying to get that little river feature. Happens every time.
14:47:40
<KorbenC> Michelle, that little river feature = sprinkler?
14:48:51
<Michelle> Thanks Korben
14:49:40
<KorbenC> :thumbsup::)
14:49:44
<Kevin L™ 🌵> BTW Korben Dan said there would be 5 guest steam engines at Antonito the end of August including the one from Colorado Springs and another one from Nevada.
14:50:05
<KorbenC> Will Eureka be there?
14:50:24
<Kevin L™ 🌵> Yes it will.
14:52:54
<Kevin L™ 🌵> This is the Glenbrook, the other one from Nevada. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KkblTDt2X1I&ab_channel=airailimages
14:53:21
<KorbenC> I wonder how long it took them to make that work!
14:54:42
<Kevin L™ 🌵> Several years. I got to ride the 25 from Henderson to Boulder City once when they were testing it.
14:55:10
<KorbenC> Probably takes alot ot keep it running, too.
14:56:50
<Kevin L™ 🌵> Yes it does!
14:59:01
<Betty> hi Graham
14:59:14
<Kevin L™ 🌵> If you look at the middle drive wheels on the 25 about the 3:00 mark you will notice that they don't have flanges. The V&T was so curvy that they didn't use them to avoid binding up on the curves.
15:02:56
<GO STEAMBOAT> hello there
15:03:08
<Ben VL> Hi Graham
15:03:51
<GO STEAMBOAT> hi Ben. when do you get to SB?
15:04:06
<Ben VL> last week in May
15:04:21
<Ben VL> 21st or something
15:04:52
<Ben VL> I still have 2 or 3 nights of reservation left to patch in
15:05:13
<GO STEAMBOAT> oh good, so you wil be there Memorial day time?
15:05:33
<Ben VL> I'll either leave that day or the day after
15:06:37
<GO STEAMBOAT> see you then, I arrive on Sat 29th
15:06:49
<Ben VL> cool
15:06:54
<linda> hey graham
15:09:27
<linda> go sprinkler
15:47:29
<Craig M> uh
15:47:32
<Craig M> that looked good
15:51:07
<Ben VL> probably a nice boil based on steam going down the channel
15:51:34
<Ben VL> the video is so washed out I couldn't see what was going on on the pool though
15:52:47
<Ben VL> probably the cheapo sensor that bosch uses
15:54:12
<Craig M> they need to turn down their resolution. i swear they're trying to stream in 4k
15:54:46
<Ben VL> the brightness and contrast are all weird too.
15:55:07
<Ben VL> brighter colors are completely washed out
15:55:22
<Craig M> yeah. when you get close like that you can see the blue pool though
15:57:58
<JarnoO> EPac still 70/70
16:00:07
<Michelle> It's been awesome as always! You all have a great afternoon!
16:01:36
<JarnoO> cya Michelle, you too
