08:52:16
<TomK> Good morning all (all 5 of you)
08:52:38
<Kat> Hi Tom!
08:53:13
<Kat> Been a quiet morning
08:57:55
<TomK> I'm logged on, so whenever you're ready
08:58:24
<Kat> It's all yours - have a good drive
08:58:35
<TomK> Thanks
08:59:50
<TomK> I'll take a peek at the hill, then it's Daisy then OF
09:00:03
<Kat> :thumbsup:
09:00:18
<Kat> I'd be watching for Lion too
09:00:57
<TomK> No bison in plain sight
09:01:09
<TomK> OK
09:05:09
<Kevin Reno> Hope you have your NoDoz today Tom.
09:05:47
<Kat> :)
09:07:11
<TomK> :)
09:07:34
<TomK> Just a cuppa Tay
09:09:07
<TomK> "Castle to Lion" setting. I hope I can see Daisy on my old monitor
09:10:57
<Kevin Reno> Hopefully we will get a new cam with a control screen that we can see.
09:13:42
<TomK> My picture is around 2 1/2 by 4 on my 15-year-old monitor
09:19:10
<Kevin Reno> I think it is smaller on mine. I need to get cat5 run to my depot so I can use that one.
09:22:18
<TomK> "cat 5 run to my depot" now you're talking way over my head ;)
09:26:29
<TomK> Daisy
09:27:19
<Kevin Reno> I have a shop in my backyard that is built like a railroad depot. It has an office and wood shop. Cat5 is computer network cable which is much faster than WiFi.
09:28:12
<TomK> Thank you :)
09:29:01
<TomK> And thank you, Daisy for going before the Old Faithful window
09:32:14
<TomK> Old Faithful window
09:35:23
<Kevin Reno> Was up at Tahoe yesterday. Saw gas for $7.60 there. :p
09:41:29
<TomK> My son lives near San Diego, tells me that The gas made at the same refinery to the same (California) standards is .75 cents cheaper in Yuma, AZ
09:41:50
<TomK> Old Faithful
09:44:30
<TomK> Long
09:44:32
<Kevin Reno> San Diego was unreal when I was there in January. What is really strange is gas in Tonopah is cheaper than Reno!
10:03:33
<TomK> Riverside window
10:20:49
<Kevin Reno> I even got caught in a burro jam in Beatty Tom.
10:25:03
<TomK> LOL
10:27:12
<TomK> My daughtr and I went from Phoenix to Bellingham in May. Las Vegas, Tonopah, Fallon, Ely & Wendover in NV
10:31:12
<Kevin Reno> Long trip
10:33:13
<TomK> Just part of round trip from Bellingham to Yellowstone to Phoenix to Bellingham, 4,200 miles.
10:34:28
<Kevin Reno> We have a long one planned in August to ride trains in colorado
10:35:26
<TomK> My daughter only on the leg from Phoenix to Bellingham
10:36:47
<TomK> AFK a few to make another cup of tea. river is due
10:46:24
<TomK> My son & I planning a road trip San Diego to Phoenix, Petrified Forest, Grand Canyon, Bryce & Zion, maybe Arches & Canyonlands, Dead Horse Point... Just a little concern about weather (snow) in October
10:47:47
<TomK> Anybody see any activity at Riverside?
10:56:14
<TomK> Riverside past window, must have missed it
11:05:44
<TomK> Old Faithful window
11:41:17
<TomK> Old Faithful 1140
11:42:01
<5> so a 2 hour interval...
11:42:16
<TomK> 2 hour interval
11:42:52
<5> and a rather quick up and down for the crowd...
11:43:00
<TomK> Short?
11:43:16
<5> not sure about that, sure seemed short though, in every way
11:43:27
<5> wow, just died there too...odd
11:44:18
<5> I would think VEC was timing it...
11:45:00
<TomK> Short, but I'll check with the VC
11:45:38
<5> did they take the mask indoor mandate away again so soon?
11:46:49
<5> VEC has it as short with next prediction at 1247
11:48:13
<5> is that wind blowing the grass in the foreground?
11:48:34
<5> looks like ants crawling across my screen
11:49:58
<TomK> Thanks, they didn't answer the phone when I called. Short. I'll enter it
11:50:20
<5> do you know about the mandate on masks?
11:52:36
<TomK> Mandate for masks inside all buildings, but according to my source, not being enforced.
11:53:04
<5> I bet most tourists are NOT traveling with masks, they would have to hand them out
11:53:16
<TomK> You would need a cop at every entrance to every building to enforce it.
11:53:25
<5> Yellowstone FB sites saying mandate is over because it is now MODERATE level
11:53:59
<5> I bet the rest rooms are a good spot to pick up COVID
11:54:11
<TomK> it was only mandated for 2 or3 days? LOL
11:54:30
<5> well that is why I asked you, I know you have an inside source...
11:54:52
<5> FB has so much bulls**t on it
11:54:57
<KorbenC> Morning Tom :)
11:56:31
<TomK> Hi KorbenC
11:57:04
<KorbenC> How has Beehive been looking?
11:59:19
<TomK> Bee has been quiet, haven't checked in a while
12:00:13
<KorbenC> :thumbsup: Probably this afternoon, maybe like 1600. Thx for the zoom
12:00:32
<TomK> Asking about masks. waiting for text response. May take a while, VC swamped after every OF eruption.
12:02:43
<5> Thanks Tom. I imagine it is madness in there after OF, I bet they are fielding questions like "Is it always that small?" HA
12:02:53
<5> That was a wimpy OF
12:07:07
<TomK> When they had a mask mandate last summer, they handed out masks and had a garbage pile of discarded masks just outside every door to the VC.
12:07:27
<TomK> they also had a lot of anger and shouting
12:12:39
<5> people are ridiculous about masks
12:15:46
<5> we missed Daisy
12:34:12
<TomK> Old faithful window
12:42:25
<TomK> Old Faithful 1241
12:43:01
<5> 61 min
12:45:22
<TomK> Long
12:48:15
<TomK> Gazers sitting on Bee?
12:48:16
<Michelle> Good afternoon
12:50:03
<TomK> hi Michelle. It's quiet time for a while
12:51:52
<Michelle> I can handle quiet!:)
12:58:17
<KorbenC> .
12:58:17

12:58:18

12:58:19
<KorbenC> INDY
12:58:40
<KorbenC> Makes sense :) Hot and sunny
12:58:55
<Michelle> Whenever you are ready Tom
12:59:17
<TomK> OK
12:59:27
<KorbenC> Hi Michelle, if you are quick enough you will have Beehive
12:59:45
<TomK> I'm off
13:00:08
<Michelle> Thanks for driving Tom. Have a great afternoon!
13:00:09
<TomK> Indy? !!
13:00:59
<TomK> I suppose I can stay and watch. ;)
13:02:01
<KorbenC> We are 10 minutes into BHI
13:02:17
<5> no post on GT, odd
13:02:49
<KorbenC> Mine is in there, in basin is going to wait until after Beehive to enter it. But there are gazers there
13:03:20
<5> hmm, just showed up on my GT
13:03:42
<KorbenC> I just entered it :) In basin is too preoccupied giving the "you want to wait here" speech
13:06:02
<5> Korben, did you ever get a shower when you were there?
13:06:17
<KorbenC> Twice! :D
13:07:33
<5> I'm wondering where BH will land in this wind, kind of seems to be swirling about
13:07:51
<KorbenC> It is going to land wherever the crowds are
13:08:08
<5> crowds on both sides
13:08:11
<TomK> Ruined a felt flat hat the first time i was on the boardwalk with a group
13:08:11
<Kat (phone)> No text but happened to walk by the computer!!
13:08:43
<5> long indy
13:09:15
<Michelle> :bee:
13:09:20
<KorbenC> Before the first shower I got on my trip, I tried to stop a visitor who rudly respondes "No, I dont think I will" which got Beehive angry, he ended up with a much unwanted soaking
13:10:04
<Kat (phone)> :bee:
13:10:11
<KorbenC> It is very nice that Beehive 1) Hates the rain, 2) Hates the cold, 3) Hates the night. Makes it a very user friendly geyser IMHO
13:10:31
<Kat (phone)> Run,run,run
13:10:52
<KorbenC> run the other way!
13:11:15
<KorbenC> "13:07:51 ‹KorbenC› It is going to land wherever the crowds are 13:08:08 ‹5› crowds on both sides" Exactly, lol
13:11:39
<5> so far, pretty safe for crowds, too bad
13:12:04
<KorbenC> seems to only be getting the fringes, trying to entice people in?
13:12:22
<Kat (phone)> :)
13:12:31
<KorbenC> Kids getting a shower, that is nice. I hate it when parents wont let their kids take a soaking
13:12:51
<5> finally moving the left side
13:12:58
<KorbenC> Maybe 140ft on that Beehive, 150? Nice
13:13:15
<Kat (phone)> Very nice!
13:14:07
<Michelle> Thank you :bee:
13:14:09
<5> that was a nice one
13:14:26
<KorbenC> Good job Beehive, nice and long one
13:14:33
<5> is Kitt still there? Haven't seen her take any showers
13:14:49
<KorbenC> Yes Kitt is there, I dont know if she takes showers anymore
13:16:50
<KorbenC> Most gazers have been able to get to most Beehives, long indys + people calling the good signs on the radio gives at least 15min warning recently
13:16:51
<TomK> Bye now. with a start like that, it's already a good shift, Michelle.
13:17:03
<KorbenC> Maybe Giantess next TOm? Cya later
13:17:18
<TomK> ;)
13:17:42
<KorbenC> Wind is mostly calm, and it was apparently putting out alot of water yesterday. You never know :D
13:18:00
<Kevin 🚂> Barely missed it

<Kevin Reno> BH went while I was training but it looks like it didn’t get recorded. :(
18:17:19
<LindaG> yeah when I took cam it was already done
18:21:49
<Kevin Reno> Bummer.
18:22:19
<Betty> hi Kevin
18:22:28
<LindaG> yeah had no idea it had erupted
18:22:51
<Betty> I missed it too
18:23:10
<LindaG> Bummer
18:32:50
<LindaG> Hello Lori hello

18:36:09
<LindaG> OF taking its time
18:36:51
<Lori S> LindaG, Good actually. Dog will need out around 8. :)
18:37:12

18:37:28
<Lori S> Making a quick dinner right now.
18:37:46
<LindaG> :thumbsup:
18:38:17
<Lori S> I fell fast asleep after the Floor Guy left for work so I'm glad I set a reminder alarm.
18:38:37
<LindaG> Of
18:38:57
<KorbenC> Hi Lori
18:39:03
<KorbenC> are you the driver this evening?
18:39:10
<LindaG> I always have one set, for somenreason Monday night was hard to.remember
18:42:54
<Lori S> KorbenC, I am. fasten your seatbelt. :p
18:43:21
<LindaG> ;)
18:43:25
<KorbenC> Fasten my seatbelt? I have better odds jumping ship
18:43:28
<KorbenC> :P
18:44:10
<Lori S> KorbenC, Well, at least eat some ginger for sea sickness.
18:44:27
<KorbenC> lol
18:45:15
<KorbenC> You might have Oblong and a Dome initial, other than that a Daisy which will probably be missed for OF. You are going to fall asleep at the wheel!
18:45:50
<Lori S> KorbenC, I saw that. Hey, I caught Castle last week. Who knows.
18:46:19
<KorbenC> Major at 1704, that would be a miracle!
18:47:21
<Lori S> KorbenC, No, I meant I might get some other that isnt expected
18:47:40
<KorbenC> Giantess maybe? :)
18:47:48
<Lori S> KorbenC, About when for Oblong & Dome?
18:48:50
<KorbenC> Probably today or tomorrow. But there literally isn't anything as likely, at least that I know of (besides OF and Anemone of course)
18:49:58
<LindaG> Well oblong, giantess the rebirth of aurum. Lion had been erupting but interrupted by OF
18:50:20
<KorbenC> I think Giantess has better odds than Oblong
18:50:27
<KorbenC> Aurum*
18:50:42
<KorbenC> Oblong has better odds than anything not predictable or regular like Sawmill and Anemone
18:51:19
<KorbenC> Aurum is so dry you could use it as flour
18:51:24
<LindaG> Lion erupted 2.5 hours ago so maybe check the hill in about a half hour
18:52:01
<KorbenC> Yea, Lion could go if it did have a missed eruption
18:54:28
<Lori S> LindaG, :thumbsup:
19:00:13

<Greg 🤠> Hi Linda, are you all caught back up on your sleep and yard work?
19:23:37
<Kevin Reno> Expensive. Went to Virginia City today and took a mine tour and rode the Virginia & Truckee.
19:23:43
<linda> Greg 🤠, :) I'm working on it. Long trip but it was fun. I think in the future I'll keep it to 10 days
19:24:20
<Kevin Reno> Gas in Reno is 6 bucks a galllon.
19:24:28
<Greg 🤠> And 10 days is a long time as well.
19:24:46
<linda> Greg 🤠, It is. 2.5 weeks was a bit much
19:25:01
<Greg 🤠> Kevin, our daughter is driving to WI and tonight they are in Lincoln NW, Price is $4.31
19:25:26
<linda> Kevin Reno, At the north rim it was $6.69 :-/
19:25:48
<Greg 🤠> Linda, but you had a great time. That is what counts, and all the great new memories.
19:26:02
<linda> Greg 🤠, It was very nice
19:28:36
<Kevin Reno> It was over 7 in Tahoe
19:28:48
<linda> Kevin Reno, wow
19:30:54
<Kevin Reno> We are still laughing about getting stuck in a burro jam.
19:31:17
<Greg 🤠> Like a buffo jam
19:32:15
<Kevin Reno> Yep, but with burros.
19:48:31
<Greg 🤠> Night all, Lori welcome and have fun. Later gators. Keep smiling
19:48:59
<Lori S> Good night Greg 🤠
19:49:07

19:51:36
<DanS> Lori S, hi - have you been getting into the park ever since ALPS quit?
19:52:14

20:29:46
<Lori S> KorbenC, You did say please. :)
