13:28:10
<Kitt> Probably in May Kiawe
13:31:30
<Kevin Lā¢ šµ> It is a Bosch. You should ask IF it will be operational...
13:45:45
<kiawe (at work)> :)
13:46:45
<kiawe (at work)> We'll have to wait until Comcast (or whomever) can get service trucks into the park, then.
13:47:12
<kiawe (at work)> In that case, aloha everyone; I'm outta here!
13:47:21
<Kevin Lā¢ šµ> Century Link

18:11:22
<linda> 77, yw, won't be the first time the cam healed on it's own
18:11:43
<Kevin Lā¢ šµ> Just a reminder I will be gone for my shifts next week. I think someone picked them up but not sure.
18:12:27
<77> they really have a lack of snow in the basin this year
18:13:04
<linda> bee splash
18:13:23
<77> that would be a fun first geyser

20:15:21
<linda> Jeff, hey
20:15:36
<Jeff> hows it going linda
20:16:01
<linda> Jeff, good and you? counting down the days?
20:16:28
<Jeff> yea getting to that point. im just ready to be back home at lower hams
20:16:45
<linda> sounds lovely
20:17:02
<linda> I should be there in august/sept, looking forward to that
20:17:15
<Jeff> looking like everything will be back to normal for us this year
20:17:44
<linda> that's great. I have reservations at Roosevelt, haven't heard that it is not opening. I hope it does
20:17:55
<Jeff> from what ive been told we will also be back to sit down dining
20:18:05
<linda> nice
20:18:20
<Jeff> from what ive seen and heard they xanterra is hiring people for roosevelt
20:18:25
<linda> last year was funky food wise :)
20:18:58
<linda> excellent, I've never stayed there and its my perfect trip. a few days at roosevelt and at OF
20:18:59
<Jeff> yea i wish we couldve stuck to normal dine in food
20:19:34
<Jeff> ill be travelling all over the park this summer for some photography
20:19:39
<linda> we ate a lot of cold cuts lol
20:20:12
<Jeff> we didnt even have our employee dining room open last year. the upper store had to keep bringing food down for us to eat
20:20:15
<linda> yeah washburn should be open that will make traveling easier
20:20:32
<linda> yikes on the food
20:20:56
<Jeff> yea i think the only road closure this year will be OF to west thumb which is gonna suck wanting to get photos of the lake at sunset
20:21:17
<linda> Jeff, true :(
20:21:35
<linda> seems like it's always something
20:21:51
<Jeff> but im hoping to hike up washburn this year and getting a couple photos
20:22:39
<linda> I'm hoping the smoke isn't there but late august/Sept is tough, must say it made for some nice pictures in the UGB
20:23:03
<linda> Kind of softened things up,
20:23:08
<Jeff> yea im tired of seeing smoke around the basin for most of the summer
20:23:35
<linda> between 8k feet and smoke my lungs weren't happy
20:24:01
<Jeff> the last couple years its just been the smoke thats been killing my lungs
20:24:54
<linda> the worst was one day we went down to see Tetons, the smoke was horrendous, couldn't see the tetons
20:25:38
<linda> looking forwward to a few more bees and grands and some new ones in person
20:25:54
<Jeff> the worst for me was the lonestar fire with all the smoke
20:27:38
<linda> that was pretty close
20:28:06
<Jeff> that was the only time in the 4 seasons ive done so far where ive been worried about anything
20:28:50
<linda> i remember watching it on webcam
20:29:23
<Jeff> there were days it was hard to breathe without coughing cause of the smoke
20:29:41
<linda> very unhealthy
20:29:50
<linda> and scary
20:30:11
<Jeff> most of the employees started packing there stuff just in case we got the order to evacuate
20:30:28
<linda> that's smart you never know
20:31:03
<linda> I live in an area that burns so always makes me nervous when I smell smoke
20:31:20
<Jeff> and then i think a couple days later we had gotten word that they were closing lower hams early due to the poor sales from the bridge closure
20:31:44
<linda> Jeff, I think that was the year you left early:(
20:31:53
<Jeff> yea it was
20:32:08
<linda> Hoping for a better year for all
20:32:47
<Jeff> from what i was told it looks like were gonna have a pretty full staff this year which will make it easier for everyone
20:34:12
<linda> It sure will. fingers crossed :)
20:35:05
<linda> Jeff, what was your best geyser last year?
20:35:41
<Jeff> uhhhh........ giantess cause i didnt get out as much as i wanted to
20:35:53
<Jeff> and got to see the first burst from lower hams
20:36:31
<linda> Ha I forgot she erupted
20:36:52
<linda> That's great
20:36:58
<Jeff> im hoping i get a chance to see f&m this summer
20:37:29
<linda> I've never been there so that would be nice to see
20:37:58
<linda> planning on doing a lot of walking around the basin
20:38:05
<Jeff> thats one of my last bucket list geysers
20:39:09
<Jeff> it looks like this summer some positions will be working 4 days and getting 3 days off so hopefully ill be able to get a solid chance of seeing more geysers
20:40:44
<linda> Jeff, that will be nice. I would be suffering if I had to work there and not be able to look around
20:41:42
<Jeff> hopefully my back doesnt start acting up like it was last year
20:42:20
<linda> :(
20:43:03
<linda> Jeff, when is your start date?
20:43:03
<Jeff> it hasnt really been bothering me lately but im also concerned about my ankle cause i tore a couple ligaments and tendons after i got home last year
20:43:20
<Jeff> i start may 23rd
20:43:49
<Jeff> so memorial day weekend is when lower hams is opening for the season
20:43:49
<linda> exercises should help. I;ve destroyed my ankle a few times. last time I did physical therapy
20:44:22
<linda> only about 2 months, wow
20:44:40
<Jeff> ive been doing some physical therapy on it as much as my time allows me but currently working 2 jobs doesnt give me much time
20:44:55
<linda> i guess not
20:45:18
<linda> I think OF is erupting
20:46:33
<linda> well time for bed. great talking Jeff
20:46:45
<Jeff> have a good night linda
20:46:54
<linda> Jeff, U too
