07:26:21
<Dave from B™> Good morning everyone
07:26:55
<JarnoO⚡> morning Dave
07:34:19
<Kat> Dave from B™, Morning!
07:34:34
<KorbenC> Morning all.
07:37:12
<Kat> Hi Korben
07:39:38
<KorbenC> Kat, when do you leave for YNP?
07:42:17
<Dave from B™> Nice to see 3 nice F&M intervals
07:46:38
<Kat> KorbenC, start my trip sometime this weekend. we had a medical emergency this past weekend - all is well, but my friend needs to rest this week
07:47:24
<Dave from B™> Are you driving?
07:47:36
<Kat> Dave from B™, Yep!
07:48:02
<Mike J> Greetings all.
07:48:20
<JarnoO⚡> morning Rice, Mike
07:48:33
<Kat> Dave from B™, Going to Denver area first
07:48:44
<Kat> Morning all
07:49:55
<KorbenC> Hi Dave, JO
07:50:00
<Dave from B™> Bring warm clothes
07:50:08
<Dave from B™> Hi, Korben
07:50:22
<KorbenC> Kat, you can come mountain climbing with me this weekend than? :P :P
07:50:23
<Dave from B™> Kat, do you spend any time in GTNP?
07:51:37
<Kat> I usually go at some point during my time there.
07:52:12
<Kat> Dave from B™, winter clothes are being washed and dried as we speak!
07:52:16
<Dave from B™> I would love to see 399 and her cubs
07:52:33
<Dave from B™> without the circus around her
07:52:46
<Kat> KorbenC, my mountain climbing days are over
07:53:15
<KorbenC> Kat, wait, you used to mountain climb?
07:53:29
<Kat> Dave from B™, I would love to see her too but the crowds and behavior make me upset
07:54:03
<Kat> KorbenC, not like your mountain climbing - I live on the east coast Hahaha
07:54:13
<Joe> Daisy finally!!
07:54:15
<KorbenC> So you "climbed" Britton Hill ;)
07:54:59
<KorbenC> Are there even any real mountains on the east coast? lol
07:55:06
<Dave from B™> Kat, I figure sunrise would be quietest time to see 399
07:55:58
<Kat> Shut your moth - of course there are real mountains - not as tall as Rockies - but still mountains!
07:56:08
<JarnoO⚡> looks like Andres is close to remnant low
07:56:16
<KorbenC> Kat, *Korben asks you you point to a real mountain* :)
07:57:52
<KorbenC> JarnoO⚡, based on Satellite it is probably already an RL, but it is holding onto a little bit of ciculation.
07:58:19
<Kat> Mount Mitchell - highest point east of Mississippi
07:58:49
<Kat> Dave from B™, I agree Dave on dawn would be a good time!
07:58:57
<KorbenC> I count that as a 50% mountain, if you can drive up it it kinda ruins its mountainess.
07:59:12
<KorbenC> Like I only give Pikes Peak a 75% Mountain :)
07:59:41
<Kat> KorbenC, Hahaha
08:00:46
<KorbenC> This is a mountain Kat, https://scontent.fapa1-2.fna.fbcdn.net/v/t1.6435-9/183696099_10104447075422025_5352375157518287161_n.jpg?_nc_cat=107&ccb=1-3&_nc_sid=b9115d&_nc_ohc=11XnKIy62e0AX_p5FkA&_nc_oc=AQmDBCzRRlfBh2-NKAytWocWqAZLrn9mFAbyCgFGyxlCLHCi_aWUwpQkNCPOwRkfZrOuqK2PTPv75tDmpNBiyiEc&_nc_ht=scontent.fapa1-2.fna&oh=1cc791b1613fec335559c103a56d3ca8&oe=60BE35F8
08:01:41
<Kat> Grand
08:01:56
<KorbenC> wow I am on Delay.
08:02:48
<Kat> sorry OF time
08:02:53
<Forestbewithyou> Morning all
08:07:04
<JarnoO⚡> morning Forest
08:07:44
<Forestbewithyou> Hi Jarno
08:07:49
<JarnoO⚡> so Mauna Kea isn't a mountain then by your definition, Korben?
08:09:52
<Kat> OF
08:14:52
<Kat> Looks like Grand is done
08:15:25
<JarnoO⚡> 0801:14 G2Q 10m36s
08:16:14
<KorbenC> JarnoO, Mauna Kea is like 90% a mountain by my definition :)
08:16:33
<JarnoO> even though its peak is covered with observatories and roads?
08:16:52
<KorbenC> So, if you round you get that it's a mountain. Mianly because of its prominence as well as age and geogrpahical isolation
08:17:17
<KorbenC> Its also a 13er, which certainly gives it some points.
08:18:23
<JarnoO> And Kilauea?
08:19:14
<KorbenC> That is not nearly as much of a mountain as Mauna Kea
08:19:55
<Mike J> You're all wrong. A "Mountain" is a group from the 70s who performed "Mississippi Queen"
08:20:19
<JarnoO> sure thing...
08:22:30
<KorbenC> JarnoO, Kilauea has a 15m prominence, has a road to the top, is lower in elevation and seems to be pretty "flat."
08:22:36
<Kat> Mike J, :)
08:23:30
<KorbenC> For example, a 100% mountain might be one like Mt. Elbert, high in elevation, difficult and pointy, almost 10K prominence and very very large Geographic isolation. And you have to hike up a mile in elevation to reach the summit :)
08:23:43
<JarnoO> well, that's what you get with shield volcanoes :)
08:25:34
<KorbenC> I think my all my definitions, its a hill.
08:34:05
<sparekitty> korben, what do you think of Mt. Whitney?
08:34:25
<KorbenC> sparekitty, Mountain.
08:35:25
<Dave from B™> Korben, when are you going to do some climbing in the Tetons?
08:35:52
<KorbenC> Dave from B™, at some point, I am trying to knock Colorado out, which takes a very long time.
08:37:40
<Dave from B™> Korben, any thoughts about where you want to go to college?
08:37:43
<JarnoO> Korben, your opinion on whether White Pyramid is a mountain?
08:38:14
<KorbenC> JarnoO, White Pyramid is a Pyramid :D
09:04:56
<I am Number 2> Got confused, I thought "White Pyramid" was a geyser. Actually, White and Pyramid are geysers
09:09:33
<JarnoO> I was referring to White Pyramid Geyser Cone :)
09:09:45
<Kat> Big splash from Bee
09:11:14
<Kat> BSB
09:11:28
<KorbenC> I odn't see water
09:12:14
<Kat> I did when it started
09:12:27
<I am Number 2> I saw south bubbler too
09:12:44
<KorbenC> :thumbsup:
09:12:54
<Kat> :)
09:15:39
<Kat> Aurum looks happy too
09:16:31
<I am Number 2> Regarding "White Pyramid", thought you meant this https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/White_Pyramid_(Banff)
09:20:01

09:37:12
<KorbenC> Hmm.
09:37:51
<KorbenC> Than what did I do? :P
09:38:08
<KorbenC> Why did I go from Coop to Korben, haha.
09:38:32
<Eric> You seem to be more respectful lately, so I am doing that as well :-D
09:38:51
<Kat> Oh well, I missed OF start
09:39:00
<KorbenC> Kat, OF is long.
09:39:20

09:43:06
<Suzanne> Plan to stay warm!
09:43:12
<JarnoO> good one!
09:43:46
<Kat> Suzanne, Hi Suzanne!
09:45:33
<Eric> Looks like Climbing Shasta will be a go this weekend! Hopefully our route cooperates when we get there.
09:45:47
<Eric> 14k, here I come :-D
09:47:05
<JarnoO> Indicator 0922:12 lead=12m16s, total= >14m54s; Beehive 0934:28 4m52s
10:00:15
<Kevin L° 🌵> I hear Perry Mason music
10:00:44
<Kat> :daisy:
10:01:27
<KorbenC> Eric, wohoo on shasta.
10:01:36
<Kat> Have fun! I leave you Castle
10:01:49
<KorbenC> Maybe I will be able to call you a fellow 14erer next week :D
10:02:50
<Kevin L° 🌵> Giant should erupt for me.
10:03:05
<linda> :) Go Giant
10:03:20
<Kat> :)
10:03:41
<KorbenC> Eric, I assume you are camping out and leaving early?
10:07:56
<Dave from B™> Kevin, did you order warmer weather for your trip?
10:08:17
<Kevin L° 🌵> I always do.
10:15:00
<Eric> Yep, I will be heading to Shasta on Friday afternoon and trailhead camp Friday, high camp Saturday, summit Sunday, trailhead camp sunday night and return monday.
10:15:58
<Eric> BTW, it looks like they might be repositioning SN15 for reflight today!
10:20:20
<time for someth> I thought Shasta climbing season was in June and July?
10:22:38
<Eric> It usually is...but it's almost past climbing season this year for Shasta! No snow :-(
10:29:22
<time for someth> Hope it does not go boom, but if it does, you will never know.
10:29:59
<Eric> I might have some warning :-P They seem to be pretty good at detecting volcanic activity these days.
10:35:28
<KorbenC> Eric, what route?
10:35:36
<Kat> bulger ie
10:36:17
<KorbenC> Morning Ben
10:37:05
<BenVL> Morning
10:37:54
<Kat> BenVL, Hi -see you on the 21st!
10:38:20
<Eric> We are going to attempt Avalanche Gulch route Korben.
10:38:26
<Eric> Gultch
10:38:47
<Eric> nope, no T
10:38:50
<KorbenC> Just without the avalanches thsi time of year :)
10:39:17
<BenVL> Kat, sweet! I'm so looking forward to seeing everyone again
10:39:20
<Eric> Yep, barely any snow! So you have rockfall instead :-(
10:39:33
<KorbenC> Yea, thats not so fun
10:40:24
<KorbenC> You should enjoy it, this will be your first 14k attempt right?
10:40:53
<Eric> Yep, it's a straight forward hike. Just long and lots of EG
10:41:02
<KorbenC> yes.
10:41:03
<Eric> Not even sure I would call it a climb :-D
10:41:09
<KorbenC> (Which is what most 14ers are, just hikes)
10:41:20
<Dave from B™> What elevation is high base camp?
10:41:45
<Eric> I think we are going to shoot for Helen Lake, which sits at about 10k ft
10:42:04
<KorbenC> I was just about to ask
10:42:21
<Eric> Temps won't be too bad on Saturday night luckily, so my gear should be ok.
10:42:36
<KorbenC> I will be hiking Elbert Saturday. Planing to start hiking at 7AM on Saturday, will be nice to have a relaxed hike for once.
10:42:41
<Eric> I need a better sleeping bag and insulated pad for really cold stuff.
10:42:57
<KorbenC> Yea, no need to bring a -20bag :P
10:43:40
<KorbenC> Sunday should be amazing winds too, 22mph gusts, thats nada.
10:44:30
<KorbenC> Eric, what time do you plan to start your summit push?
10:45:23
<Eric> Not even sure...we only have to climb 4k from Helen, so maybe around 3am or so. I know we really need to be up and through avalanche gulch before sunup.
10:45:47
<KorbenC> yes, once the sun hits everything starts to come down ontop of you :)
10:46:01
<KorbenC> I learned that the hard way, lol.
10:46:46
<Eric> Yep, there is a reason alpine climbers start early :-D
10:47:34
<KorbenC> Thats why most of the time I start before 4AM, but doing Elbert saturday, on a nice dirt trail, no risk of rockfall or avalanche :D
10:47:52
<KorbenC> Its like 2 miles and 4k gain from Helen to summit right?
10:48:23
<Eric> Something like that
10:48:59
<KorbenC> So if you start at 3AM you should summit around 7?
10:49:23
<KorbenC> (Assuming you aren't trying to set a hypoxic rate)
10:49:43
<Jeff> you guys are making me tired just talking about hiking lol
10:49:51
<KorbenC> Jeff, lol.
10:50:10
<KorbenC> Jeff, does it make you feel better than I will be gaining a mile of elevation in a few hrs and 5 miles on Satuday? :P
10:50:23
<Jeff> k im going for a nap lol
10:50:29
<KorbenC> lol
10:51:03
<Jeff> most hiking youll ever see me doing is around geyser basins lol
10:51:18
<Craig M> morning all
10:51:19
<KorbenC> haha.
10:51:21
<BenVL> KorbenC, I need to do hanging lake again sometime
10:51:23
<KorbenC> Morning Craig
10:51:28
<Jeff> morning craig
10:51:29
<Craig M> beehive keeps beating me
10:51:42
<KorbenC> BenVL, you should try a nice and easy 13er/14er this summer :)
10:51:57
<KorbenC> Maybe one of the ones you can bike up
10:52:04
<Eric> I usually climb about 1500ft EG/hour at talking rate.
10:52:16
<BenVL> Not sure if I will have time this summer..:
10:52:18
<Jeff> KorbenC, i had a friend last year try to get me to go on a 22 mile hike and i was like "are you trying to kill me?" lol
10:52:29
<KorbenC> Eric, thats a good pace.
10:52:34
<Eric> With breaks, 4k should be straight forward in 3h
10:52:42
<BenVL> Jeff, lol
10:53:16
<KorbenC> Eric, thats a nice chill pace.
10:53:17
<Eric> I did 700ft in 14.5m the other day :-D I was breathing pretty hard.
10:53:34
<KorbenC> :D
10:53:41
<Jeff> eric youre making me breathe pretty hard just thinking about doing that lol
10:53:54
<linda> :)
10:54:05
<KorbenC> I tend to do about 2K EG in an hour at talking, but if I have a mission... :)
10:54:50
<Kevin L° 🌵> 14k makes me breathe hard
10:55:00
<Eric> Yep, being young has it's advantages :-D Your heart is working better than us old folks.
10:55:12
<Jeff> ill be doing 5k EG in a few weeks lol but ill be driving up a mountain lol
10:55:19
<KorbenC> Yup, I have a tendency to run laps around the summits of 14ers :P
10:56:01
<KorbenC> Eric, what is your thought on turning back if you get AMS?
10:56:11
<Kevin L° 🌵> Castle
10:56:21
<Eric> 100% turn around if you get AMS! Don't mess with it.
10:56:51
<Eric> I have been to 12k and felt fine, but that doesn't mean that 14k won't have an effect.
10:57:20
<KorbenC> Going between 12K and 14K is a big difference, lol.
10:57:21
<Craig M> FYI the Pfizer vaccine is open to 12+ now
10:57:29
<Eric> I had a friend who climb to 24k over the winter and went blind temporarily! Don't climb above 21k if you have ever had lasic surgery.
10:57:51
<Jeff> at least you guys can do those high summit hikes lol
10:58:16
<KorbenC> Craig, FDA recommended it, CAIC still needs to recommend it, than CDC director, but that should be done tomorrow.
10:58:27
<KorbenC> Eric, really on that 100% turn around with AMS?
10:58:41
<Eric> Yes, it can kill you.
10:58:50
<Kevin L° 🌵> That means you can get yours in a year Korben?
10:58:52
<KorbenC> I mean, I [b] had [/b] one mountain that was my mortal enemy :)
10:59:08
<Eric> alright...meeting time...bbl
10:59:21
<Craig M> Korben FDA approved it
10:59:23
<Craig M> not reccomended
10:59:31
<Jeff> KorbenC, i feel like the highest elevation hike near me you would have no problem doing lol
10:59:34
<Craig M> 12+ shots can begin today.
10:59:38
<KorbenC> Craig M, but the CDC still has to recommend it.
10:59:39
<linda> today is my two week anniversay for covid shot, yay!
10:59:47
<Craig M> no they don't Korben
11:00:02
<KorbenC> "States will be given the go-ahead to administer the shot to the new age group as soon as the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) gives its final approval, expected Wednesday"
11:00:04
<Eric> congrats Linda! Happy Full Efficacy Day!
11:00:13
<Jeff> linda, mine was last wednesday
11:00:20
<KorbenC> All I know is I will get the vaccine sometime next week!
11:00:40
<linda> Eric, I'm going to lunch, indoors! Wish me luck. :lol:
11:00:44
<Craig M> The FDA does the approval
11:00:56
<Craig M> CDC can just decide to say "hey get it"
11:01:14
<Craig M> but FDA makes the decisions on whether or not we can administer
11:01:35
<linda> Jeff, oh you are close too1
11:02:06
<Jeff> linda, i meant my full efficacy day was last wednesday lol i got my 2nd dose the 21st of april
11:02:24
<Ynp27> KorbenC and CraigM kids! I will turn this damn car around.
11:02:35
<pp> Craig M, should know as he's the one holding a syringe 😜
11:02:41
<linda> Jeff, ah, read that wrong. You are good to go!
11:02:53
<Craig M> 27 i give the shots ;)
11:03:33
<Craig M> i will admit it's a dumb grey area though
11:03:34
<Jeff> linda, i figured id get it done as soon as arizona opened it up to my age group that way i would be done before getting up to the park and not have to waste the park service's time doing it
11:03:41
<KorbenC> Craig M, respectfully, I think you are wrong.
11:03:48
<Kevin L° 🌵> As long as there are no mailboxes he should be fine.
11:04:04
<Dave from B™> Different Craig:)
11:04:19
<KorbenC> because I am looking at 3 soruces that say states can begin to administer shots ONCE CDC gives it the go ahead :)
11:04:44
<Ynp27> Yes because you probably no better than someone who's worked at a pharmacy for quite some time.
11:04:49
<Ynp27> Know*
11:05:18
<KorbenC> Ynp27, geez, I am not saying he is wrong, I am saying I think he might be worng based on some contradicting evidence.
11:05:34
<KorbenC> Just because I have gone to YNP a bunch of times doens't mean everything I say about YNP is right :D
11:05:51
<Kevin L° 🌵> With covid rules change at a moments notice and things don't make sense at all.
11:07:07
<KorbenC> CraigM, things might be different for my state than your state as well.
11:07:16
<linda> Kevin L° 🌵, any birds?
11:07:33
<Kevin L° 🌵> Only chickens
11:08:51
<Craig M> *anyways* :) TLDR everyone get your shots. If you know someone who lives in MN let me know I have way too many
11:08:55
<linda> Kevin L° 🌵, :) How are the dogs?
11:09:28
<KorbenC> Craig M, I will get my shot next week, I hope I will anyways. As soon as CDC gives the go-ahead I will be looking everywhere for oen
11:10:19
<Kevin L° 🌵> Getting better. He took one out for a run yesterday. The other one will probably go out later this week.
11:11:01
<KorbenC> linda, I think I have a golden eagle nest near my house, I have seen them almost every single day for a while :D
11:11:51
<linda> KorbenC, Wow that would be cool
11:12:03
<linda> Kevin L° 🌵, lucky puppies
11:12:55
<linda> KorbenC, I don't even know where they build a nest. For Bald it's at the top of a very sturdy tree. :)
11:13:09
<Kevin L° 🌵> I think the owner will be more aware of the possibility pf rattling snakes now.
11:13:56
<linda> Kevin L° 🌵, yeah, I'm sure the vet bill was substantial
11:14:04
<Kevin L° 🌵> I think Goldens are the same Linda. There used to be a lot of them in Rainbow Canyon but I haven't seen them in a long time.
11:14:52
<Kevin L° 🌵> I know the initial was over $1200 and there were several follow ups.
11:15:20
<linda> Kevin L° 🌵, only see them when they migrate through. I'll have to look it up. I got the impression they like mountainous areas, could be wrong on that.
11:15:37
<linda> Kevin L° 🌵, :-/
11:17:51
<Kevin L° 🌵> There is a bird sanctuary just west of Rainbow where several varieties hang out and use as a stopover. I took a picture once and blew it up. We counted over 500 swan. Not what you expect in the Nevada Desert.
11:18:23
<Jeff> is it just me or does castle seem to be having a lot of minors lately?
11:18:35
<linda> Kevin L° 🌵, for sure. Says Goldens like trees and cliffs.
11:19:10
<Kevin L° 🌵> Rainbow has those Linda.
11:19:46
<linda> :)
11:24:28
<time for someth> Cactus, when you feel he needs a reminder, tell him they have a snake vaccine for dogs.
11:25:04
<linda> cya later
11:26:13
<Kevin L° 🌵> Is that something they get to prevent the effects of a snake bite before it happens?
11:26:26
<time for someth> Yes.
11:26:45
<time for someth> For buzz worms.
11:27:59
<time for someth> https://www.petinsurance.com/healthzone/pet-health/health-conditions/rattlesnake-vaccine-for-dogs/
11:29:24
<Kevin L° 🌵> Thanks, I sent him the link.
11:34:57
<Kevin L° 🌵> Getting some splashes
11:35:30
<time for someth> Well, enjoy the steam.
12:06:58
<Katie> Gandalf?
12:17:00
<Eric> I think we have about an hour for Aurum, based on interals
12:17:02
<Eric> intervals
12:18:40
<KorbenC> Disregard that, I have a feeling that is wrong :)
12:22:38
<Eric> I think Aurum is having around 4h intervals...I would expect the next at about 20.5h from the last one, so in about an hour :-D
12:23:04
<KorbenC> :thumbsup:
12:23:07
<KorbenC> Lion 1220 ie
12:23:35
<Eric> Lot's of assumptions in my guess with all the open intervals and missing the last 4 :-P
12:24:17
<KorbenC> 20.5hr seems reasonable still.
12:24:44
<Eric> If you are big like me and want some cheap, decent rain gear this is a great deal! https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B007SF1DGA/
12:24:54
<Eric> XXL Frog Togg rainsuit for $5
12:25:23
<Eric> Little too big for me, but meh, it is great to throw in the backpack and get silica on it.
12:25:33
<KorbenC> I am not XXL :)
12:25:47
<Eric> You could make the pants into a tent Korben!
12:25:54
<KorbenC> lol
12:25:54
<Eric> Sleep in them.
12:26:57
<KorbenC> I enjoy my REI Co-op raingear too much :)
12:27:15
<Eric> ohh, that deal is dead already...bummer.
12:30:23
<Eric> They are moving the test harnessed cone along the road out of the flight operations area! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sTA0GTgFn5E
12:31:41
<KorbenC> Eric, do you know if they are going to launch SN15 again today?
12:34:26
<Eric> No, SN15 won't be launched today. But it could go to the launch tower and have raptor tests. My guess is just inspections.
12:37:11
<Eric> Closer view of travelling rocket :-D https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sMC5KonXCfg
12:49:43
<linda> ah my first indoor lunch in more than a year. It was good :)
13:00:43
<Dave from B™> Korben is actually XXS
13:03:43
<Dave from B™> Nice to see Steve Eide in the basin
13:09:47
<linda> betcha he has cookies :)
13:13:10
<Kevin L° 🌵> Does he have to post that he uses cookies.
13:13:35
<linda> :)
13:17:59
<Dave from B™> yum
13:29:13
<Dave from B™> Yikes...today's half hour of winter is here
13:30:05
<Ben VL> Winter does not seem to want to give up yet
13:30:22
<Kevin L° 🌵> 🦨
13:56:06
<nescar> Are they session cookies?
14:10:49
<Eric> Steve E cookies...yummmm!
14:11:16
<Eric> They should show up as a note on GT :-P
14:11:48
<JarnoO> 1351:12 G1C 10m56s
14:12:03
<Ben VL> should they come with a little paper you have to sign consenting to his use of cookies?
14:12:28
<Eric> Nope, I just say thank you :-D
14:12:37
<Ben VL> lol
14:12:52
<JarnoO> I would like to set my preferences :D
14:13:17
<Ben VL> chocolate chip only, please
14:13:37
<nescar> I think they are like google cookies. You are forced to have them even when you say NO.
14:14:08
<Kevin L° 🌵> When I did Railroad Safety presentations we would use a private dome car that was a diner. While I did the presentation the owner would bake cookies and bring them up when we finished.
14:14:09
<KorbenC> but why would you say no to cookies?
14:15:03
<Ben VL> they can use them to sell your private data to corporations
14:15:29
<KorbenC> Eric, does this chat require us to accept cookies?
14:16:03
<JarnoO> Lavahose (kinda) @ 1626:56 in this livestream of Fagradalshraun: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I1I-0PUhFmU
14:16:03
<nescar> To work correctly, yes.
14:17:08
<Ben VL> probably would not worry about it with this page or gt
14:17:21
<KorbenC> Ben VL, exactly.
14:17:21
<JarnoO> only functional cookies from a quick scan
14:18:25
<JarnoO> though the _ga cookies might be for Analytics, but my adblocker blocks that content anyway
14:19:12
<nescar> I do believe there may be other cookies set by the linked data. My list of blocked sites is too long to look at, plus I use the simple page so no linked stuff like weather or what ever is on it?
14:19:13
<Kevin L° 🌵> I have some German cookies on my computer.
14:20:02
<nescar> No English cookies, they would be biscuits.
14:22:18
<Kevin L° 🌵> The right kind of biscuits are good.
14:24:18
<nescar> What you are referring to, I am sure they are not called biscuits, more likely a quick bread.
14:24:58
<Kevin L° 🌵> I like southern buttermilk biscuits.
14:26:15
<nescar> I like about any biscuit is it is smothered in good gravy, or honey.
14:27:00
<JarnoO> Andres post-tropical
14:27:25
<JarnoO> remnant low actually
14:27:57
<nescar> I also like them swimming over chicken, but people call those dumplings.
14:29:53
<Kevin L° 🌵> Don't know if it is my computer but when I try to move the cam a lot it just locks up and I have to reboot the controls to get it running again. I will blame it on the snow.
14:30:32
<nescar> What, not going to blame Dave?
14:31:00
<Dave from B™> You rang?
14:31:02
<Kevin L° 🌵> That would make sense.
14:31:15
<linda> Kevin L° 🌵, mine locks up every once in a while when I move it and then I hit the live button up top
14:32:02
<Kevin L° 🌵> I will try that next time.
14:32:14
<Kevin L° 🌵> It moved OK that time.
14:33:03
<nescar> Well, time to go do stuff
14:33:19
<Eric> I accept all cookies...huge fan!
14:33:43
<Dave from B™> I dare someone to post a NOTE on GT asking Steve what flavors cookies he has for today:)
14:34:03
<Dave from B™> I would text him myself but I don't have his number
14:34:08
<linda> Dave from B™, :)
14:34:22
<Eric> Please don't, that would upset the GT gods.
14:34:41
<linda> :(
14:34:54
<Dave from B™> Yeah, you're probably right.
14:35:02
<Eric> GT is a place for hardcore science, not social shenanigans!
14:35:08
<Kat> Kat
14:35:14
<Eric> haha...I sounded so responsible there :-P
14:35:25
<Dave from B™> Yes...social shenanigans are for this page only; not for GT
14:35:25
<linda> Eric, who are you? lol
14:35:42
<Eric> Someone took over my name
14:35:51
<linda> >(
14:35:57
<Kevin L° 🌵> That is not Eric. It's the GT nazi!
14:36:00
<Eric> I :heart: shenanigans!
14:36:12
<KorbenC> Thats the Eric we all know and enjoy :)
14:36:42
<Eric> But others at GT would probably not appreciate it.
14:36:56
<Ben VL> quick question, is anyone else unable to sign into the xanterra reservations website right now?
14:37:45
<Eric> It's hard when you want to have a respected repository of scientific data and also a user driven social community of observers.
14:38:28
<KorbenC> Ben VL, I can get in, but I know the website has been having issues of late.
14:38:29
<100010> What a lovely day
14:39:37
<Ben VL> it's telling me my username or password are not correct, and when I tried to reset it, it couldn't find my account or reservations
14:40:28
<KorbenC> That is weird
14:40:33
<Dave from B™> Eric, that is why this is the social HQ:)
14:44:59
<Eric> Yep, it's a good place for fun, social shenanigans :-D
14:45:17
<Eric> With GT being the place of record for serious observations..
14:45:32
<linda> Ben VL, I never did set up a successful userid/password on that site. I figured it was me.
14:46:35
<Kat> Ben VL, If you have a park reservation you should have an e-mail response with confirmation
14:47:48
<Ben VL> I do, but I still need to secure 2 nights in the middle of the week, which I was trying to check on
14:51:26
<Kevin L° 🌵> If you try this link you can thumb through the calendar and open dates will show. https://secure.yellowstonenationalparklodges.com/booking/lodging-search?dateFrom=05-12-2021&adults=1&children=0&nights=1&destination=ALL
14:53:55
<Dave from B™> I think whatever cookie Steve is sharing shouls be on a banner on this page promoting it is the "Gazer Cookie of the Week"
14:54:46
<Eric> Steve usually has a variety...all good too :-D
14:56:24
<Dave from B™> Week 2 of my diet....cookies sound REALLY good right now.
14:58:43
<Kevin L° 🌵> Big snickerdoodle
14:59:30
<Dave from B™> shhhhh
15:00:12
<Kevin L° 🌵> What really sounds good is a nice puff pastry cherry turnover.
15:02:00
<Dave from B™> That's it. I think I gained 2 pounds just thinking about food. Time to go workout. Have a GREEEEAT evening everyone!
15:02:39
<linda> Dave from B™, night, may the cookie be with you
15:02:57
<Kevin L° 🌵> Stop by Marie Calendars and get a sour cream lemon pie on the way home.
15:03:03
<Dave from B™> haha
15:03:31
<Ben VL> gave xanterra a call and they said they are having some pretty massive issues with the website right now
15:03:57
<JarnoO> cya Dave
15:04:01
<linda> I can't get in to cancel somethings for june.
15:04:01
<Ben VL> I would say they definitely are
15:04:24
<Ben VL> what dates are you trying to cancel, linda?
15:04:35
<Ben VL> and are they in madison?
15:04:53
<linda> Ben VL, not madison
15:04:58
<Ben VL> ok
15:05:20
<linda> I think 7/3/-7/7 for OF cabins
15:05:28
<Ben VL> ah
15:05:41
<Ben VL> way out of my budget lol
15:06:02
<linda> I was going to offer them up, cancel them and let someone pick them up. But tha doesn't work right now
15:06:18
<Greg (working)> Bummer you have to cancel, we had cancel our 2wks at Lake for June, last month.
15:06:29
<Ben VL> if they were madison I was gonna ask if you could do that
15:06:48
<Ben VL> I'm sorry you have to cancel tho :(
15:06:50
<linda> Ben VL, and I would if i could :)
15:07:27
<linda> Yeah family cancelled but I have a week in september still
15:07:36
<Ben VL> that's good
15:07:47
<Ben VL> over labor day?
15:07:56
<linda> this included roosevelt and they're not opening in time I don't think
15:08:06
<linda> Ben VL, sept 1-8
15:08:13
<Ben VL> cool
15:08:31
<Ben VL> I'm probably going to try to be up over labor day again
15:08:33
<linda> at OF cabins
15:08:44
<linda> :thumbsup:
15:09:49
<linda> I was talking to my niece a few days ago and she actually forgot we made her reservations for Sept. Who forgets that???? lol
15:10:23
<Ben VL> lol
15:12:35
<linda> wow snow really coming down
15:12:56
<linda> Kevin L° 🌵, did you hit the snow button by mistake?
15:13:19
<Kevin L° 🌵> I don't have a snow button!
15:13:34
<linda> :D
15:17:35
<Ben VL> Kevin L° 🌵, maybe you do but it all melts and evaporates before you see any of it
15:17:59
<linda> :)
15:19:28
<Kevin L° 🌵> Not much has fallen here.
15:19:34
<Eric> I am going to sleep in the woods with the coyotes!
15:20:02
<Kevin L° 🌵> Sounds like my Army field trips.
15:20:14
<Eric> :-D
15:20:39
<Eric> I have a really nice tent, pad & bag...so sleeping in the woods is not a real hardship :-D
15:21:07
<Eric> tent, pad & bag weigh under 10 pounds all together.
15:21:15
<KorbenC> Craig, what bag do you have? Bivy?
15:21:26
<linda> Eric, what kind?
15:21:40
<Kevin L° 🌵> A motel with no wifi is roughing it.
15:21:57
<linda> Kevin L° 🌵, I'm with you hehe
15:22:22
<Eric> I have a nemo kunai tent, just a cheap Kelty disco 20 degree bag, Big Agnes summer inflatable pad and a closed cell foam thermarest for when on snow.
15:22:48
<KorbenC> NEMO Kunai's are amazing for climbing
15:23:12
<Eric> My tent is the new bit that is awesome...can take mountain winds and snow, but still light enough for summer travel.
15:23:13
<linda> It doesn't drop lower than 20?
15:23:41
<Eric> The west coast is pretty warm...but I definitely need a better sleeping bag :-D
15:23:46
<KorbenC> linda, well, if it drops below 20 you probably have enough layers to survive it, and normaly you wait for a day where it is warm.
15:24:11
<KorbenC> I have my -20F bag for sleeping at the trailheads, but a 0F bag for everything else
15:24:21
<Eric> I can also wear down jacket and keep my pants on or use a bag liner if it's colder.
15:25:00
<Eric> sleeping with your clothes on is typical when climbing anyway. At least some of your layers.
15:25:04
<linda> :thumbsup:
15:25:39
<KorbenC> I normally wear my big patagonia down, but I just got a lighter one that keeps me warm on its own till about 20F, and compresses into the size of a softball, it is amazing.
15:25:43
<Eric> I will probably get a mountain hardwear or marmot 0 degree bag at some point, but $500-$700 for decent quality.
15:26:05
<Eric> $1000 for the best stuff.
15:26:15
<Eric> light/warm gear is expensive.
15:26:34
<linda> ever look at hyperlite mountain gear?
15:26:47
<KorbenC> My Patagonia would have been expensive, but we got it free and new :D
15:26:58
<linda> free is good
15:26:58
<linda> 1
15:27:42
<linda> KorbenC, which patagonia jacket is the new one?
15:27:43
<JarnoO> oh, an item of clothing. I thought the region in southern South-America
15:28:18
<linda> :)
15:28:19
<KorbenC> linda, not patagonia, its the Amazon basic one.
15:28:42
<KorbenC> Normally I don't trust cheap gear, but this one is a diamond, best buy ever.
15:28:43
<linda> KorbenC, ah
15:28:44
<Eric> Yep, hyperlite makes great stuff linda
15:29:22
<Eric> patagonia makes awesome clothing!
15:29:35
<KorbenC> My Patagonia down is worth like $400 or $500 :P
15:29:41
<linda> Eric, it crinkles, everytime you move it makes crinkly sounds
15:29:47
<Eric> Would love to have a fluffy patagonia jacket :-D
15:30:06
<Eric> Yes, dyneema fabric is pretty loud
15:30:08
<KorbenC> Eric, they are amazing
15:30:20
<linda> I love patagonia
15:31:20
<linda> Chouinard is amazing
15:31:47
<KorbenC> Linda, they are so warm its amazing
15:33:29
<KorbenC> Eric, what jacket do you have?
15:42:08
<linda> so glacier national park has a ground squirrel cam :lol:
15:43:36
<Kevin L° 🌵> Can you make nachos out of ground squirrel?
15:43:58
<linda> probably
15:44:01
<linda> lol
15:44:14
<Eric> I just have an OR puffy and marmot minimalist I climb in.
15:44:43
<Eric> I get to buy gear after I pay for things like house & daughters college :-P
15:45:03
<Betty> afternoon all

15:57:17
<Eric> haha...I have been sneaking in gear I have to have, but new jackets and sleeping bags are not on the must have list.
15:57:35
<Eric> Climbing safety gear is not cheap either!
15:58:10
<Kevin L° 🌵> OF ie, controls released.
15:58:23
<Greg 🤠> Thanks for driving Kevin
15:59:39
<Eric> Also needed new stove as my current one sucks at elevation with any wind!

<linda> :)
16:29:44
<Greg 🤠> Kevin where are you
16:29:48
<linda> nice view
16:30:28
<Greg 🤠> Those people sure scattered fast
16:30:36
<linda> lol
16:30:41
<turn around> you gotta love the guy with his back to Aurum the whole time
16:30:51
<linda> Greg 🤠, he must be with the chickens
16:30:59
<Greg 🤠> LOL
16:31:20
<turn around> I bet it was Steve E
16:31:23
<Betty> chickens or potty break :-)
16:31:40
<Betty> yes, that was Steve
16:32:02
<turn around> he's a riot, really rarely watches an actual eruption
16:35:06
<turn around> I take it back, I guess he did watch most of it, I came in late:)
16:35:12
<Betty> Oblong?
16:51:52
<Betty> headed out, night all
16:52:30
<linda> Betty, night
16:53:24
<JarnoO> night Betty
16:55:56
<Ben VL> night
16:56:13
<Greg 🤠> Night Betty, hi Jarno
16:56:35
<JarnoO> hi Greg
17:01:13
<Kevin Depot> Wrong. I was working on a pen order.
17:01:53
<Kevin Depot> Watch for Giantess. NOW I am going to feed chickens.
17:02:01
<Eric> haha
17:02:08
<Greg 🤠> haha
17:02:33
<Greg 🤠> We are watching
17:14:26
<Kevin L° 🌵> I decided to let the lathe (and operator) cool off a bit.
17:19:20
<A> So I'm here just in time for Giantess eruption?
17:56:18
<Kevin L° 🌵> Is the cam working correctly for you Greg?
17:57:01
<Greg 🤠> yes, no issues that I have noticed
18:02:56
<Kevin L° 🌵> If it set a few minutes for me and I tried to move it then it would lock up and would take about 5 minutes to get it back. I think Windows did an update this morning on my computer but didn't want a restart. Wonder if that could be it.
18:03:28
<Greg 🤠> Windows update, good bet.
18:04:05
<Kevin L° 🌵> I think a Windows computer is a box where you watch software update.
18:04:21
<Greg 🤠> Right!
18:05:32
<Kevin L° 🌵> Well I guess I better head to the depot and finish a project before crab fishing starts.
18:10:30
<linda> Kevin L° 🌵, maybe set it to ask you before it updates?
18:15:08
<Greg 🤠> Riverside
18:16:50
<linda> pretty riverside
18:37:10
<ChrisO> I smell doggies :)
18:39:52
<linda> ChrisO, hi
18:40:35
<ChrisO> hey :)
18:52:08
<Greg 🤠> Leaving this in OF, dinner time, brb

<Greg 🤠> Kevin, the controls were wacky the last hour, very touchy
21:25:43
<Kevin L° 🌵> Chief is due in Flagstaff in about an hour.
21:26:10
<Greg 🤠> I'll be watching, always like to catch her, except the other day when it was 10 hours late
21:26:51
<Kevin L° 🌵> I think it didn't make it to LA until early this morning!
21:27:28
<Kevin L° 🌵> It will be daily on May 31st.
21:27:36
<Greg 🤠> Right, I checked in the monring to see where it was, that is one train I would not have wanted to be on. I was waiting for the next #3 to catch her
21:28:27
<Kevin L° 🌵> There was one once that was 32 hours late!
21:28:41
