09:03:35
<Grandpa Kevin > Pretty picture
09:14:27
<TomK> Got to be long, with all that splashing. id anybody get the start time?
09:16:15
<TomK> "Did" anybody get the start time?
09:21:29
<Grandpa Kevin > Hopefully you get a BH today
09:23:23
<TomK> I'm going to guess 0911, long and enter that, unless someone has a better idea'
09:30:56
<Grandpa Kevin > Nurse comes at 1030. Will be after that.
09:38:25
<TomK> BSB
10:33:38
<3> wow, beautiful day there. Cold though
10:34:34
<TomK> Old Faithful window
10:34:58
<3> oh good, I can see something erupt
10:35:29
<3> no people on static
10:38:37
<TomK> Few on boardwalk
10:39:05
<3> there they are
10:39:14
<3> more entering on static now too
10:41:15
<3> that was a lot of preplay
10:51:10
<TomK> Old
10:51:21
<TomK> faithful 1050
10:51:48
<3> POOF
10:54:40
<TomK> Still water splashing. Therefore LONG
10:54:55
<3> no doubt about that one
10:55:21
<TomK> No doubt about the last one, either
10:55:49
<3> oh, it's not listed as long on GT
10:57:56
<TomK> Even thoough I have 12 summers at OFVC, and timed many hundreds of eruptions, some think they know better and changed my post.
10:58:42
<3> ha ha, I see that now, Jarno can be quite intense, he has never even been to the park!
10:59:09
<TomK> VC agreed with me, it was a long
11:00:31
<3> I would call 3 m 20 s a long anyway, that is what he said the eruption time was or greater than. I think the only reason his trumped your post was he did not have NS on it
11:00:58
<TomK> i worked 16 summers in the park, 15 as Ranger Naturalist, 12 at Old Faithful visitor center.
11:01:26
<3> these younguns Tom, hard to tell them anything
11:01:40
<TomK> :)
11:08:12
<TomK> Lion
11:08:26
<3> nice
11:13:50
<TomK> Daisy window
11:14:46
<3> need to add wc to your Lion post
11:19:51
<TomK> My input shows check either initial or webcam. can I do both?
11:20:06
<3> yes
11:20:17
<3> separate fields
11:20:46
<3> or they used to be, I am not on GT anymore.
11:21:13
<3> If you look at GT though for Lion, there are MANY wc ini posts for Lion
11:22:48
<TomK> You are correct, I can enter both. Thanks
11:23:33
<TomK> done
11:33:28
<3> it did not update on GT, Lion
11:34:00
<3> Guess I missed Daisy, went to make tea
11:35:56
<3> your wc Lion is listed as a separate entry, do you need to delete the in basin one I guess. You made a new entry instead of updating the previous one
11:37:53
<TomK> Dirty word. How to?
11:38:56
<3> how to delete your entry? I have not used GT in a quite a few years, yet I think you can just delete it
11:39:46
<3> there, looks right now
11:40:22
<TomK> fixed.
11:40:33
<3> :thumbsup:
11:41:31
<3> no one will be posting Turban times today. Steve is in park, yet I do not think he is out in the basin
11:48:40
<3> won't be another Lion for awhile, after the initial
11:49:02
<dc> What a beautiful day, I bet Grandpa has an extra sweater on.
11:50:31
<TomK> 3, Thanks for helping out. I'm still a little goofy from covid. In isolation time.
11:51:01
<3> sorry to hear that Tom. Hope you are on the mend.
11:51:17
<3> Did you take Paxlovid? Does that still help with the new strains?
11:55:29
<TomK> Got remdesivir Intravenously in hospital. spent two nights, got discharged Tuesday
11:56:20
<3> wow, so it took you out for a bit. Bummer. I hope Joanne is COVID free
11:56:47
<TomK> Doctor said Paxlovid had many side effects and remdesivir better while I was under observation.
11:57:17
<TomK> Joanne free so far. Very worried
11:57:45
<3> I used Paxlovid with no side effects, thankfully. My COVID was mild, I was lucky. Over a year ago now
11:58:10
<3> as long as you both mask when in same rooms, you should be OK
12:03:23
<TomK> separate sides of house, separate bathrooms, bedrooms while isolating.
12:03:45
<3> oh nice you have that option
12:03:54
<3> what about food?
12:04:53
<TomK> She fixes and puts it on a tray outside my office/bedroom
12:05:31
<3> sounds like you guys have it covered. Have you tested to see if you are COVID free yet?
12:05:49
<3> If you have been positive since Sunday, you might be negative now
12:15:11
<TomK> Old Faithful window
12:16:11
<TomK> Still positive yesterday
12:16:29
<3> hope that changes soon
12:23:43
<TomK> old Faithful 1222
12:26:38
<TomK> Long
12:27:12
<3> Lion could be any minute
12:31:20
<TomK> Lost cam controls for a minute. re-booted
12:33:26
<w> :grand:
12:35:44
<TomK> NPS logs Old Faithful start from the beginning of the splash that continues into the eruption. in this case, 1222.
12:47:42
<Michelle> Good afternoon
12:49:50
<TomK> hi Michelle. That time already?
12:50:43
<Michelle> TomK, hello and afraid it is!😊
12:51:57
<TomK> Riverside window, we must have missed Lion
12:52:17
<Grandpa Kevin > Wow! Warmed up to 20!

<Michelle> TomK, has it been freezing up today?
12:53:09

13:11:15
<CalebD> Hi Betty & Michelle
13:13:28
<3> Bye Tom. Hope you keep feeling better
13:16:05
<3> Hey Michelle. Did Brett E mail anything about what he found out about the cam?
13:17:28
<Michelle> 3, nothing. Even colder today, but seems to be good!
13:18:05
<3> I do not think it was stuck at all this morning
13:18:26
<Michelle> Bee splashy!
13:20:07
<Michelle> :daisy:
13:21:05
<Michelle> looks like just steam so far
13:21:36
<3> I think it is erupting in there somewhere
13:22:41
<Michelle> I am not sure I see water
13:24:06
<Michelle> Jarno recorded it as a Daisy, so guess that was water
13:25:49
<Michelle> We need a "big fan" button!😁
13:29:25
<Michelle> Buffy

13:31:33
<3> Lion time?
13:36:31
<Michelle> :lion:
13:37:35
<Michelle> Not sure I want to zoom in on that mass
13:37:41
<Michelle> Wow
13:37:59
<3> not a good wind direction for cam viewing
13:39:39
<3> glad it is having a series though
13:53:46
<3> Michelle did you get snow or just cold where you are?
13:54:44
<Michelle> Just cold. Foothills and mountains got snow
13:55:03

<kiawe (at work)> *casts an eye at Kilauea* Madame Pele is moving furniture again, but not erupting - yet.
14:04:45
<Michelle> kiawe (at work), lots of earthquakes?
14:05:39
<kiawe (at work)> 89 today so far, all low level.
14:06:01
<kiawe (at work)> Magma is moving, but not spewing.
14:06:40
<kiawe (at work)> I'd be more concerned if tectonic activity dropped dead.

14:20:48
<KorbenC> BSB and Bwb?
14:21:02
<kiawe (at work)> (Can't tell if it's a blob ov snow or actual water)
14:22:30
<kiawe (at work)> nad now it's back asleep. Saw its shadow, I guess.
14:23:15
<kiawe (at work)> Indicator is hiding in the steam!
14:23:48
<3> that is a lot of steam
14:24:00

14:26:50
<kiawe (at work)> You couldn't have told with the IFR conditions over :bee: recently. It was well concealed.
14:28:15
<3> ha, I thought you were going to say it happens on your shift Michelle. BH likes you
14:28:54
<kiawe (at work)> The way the wind is now, you might miss BH's initial blow.
14:29:27
<Grandpa Kevin > No doubt about that Indy
14:29:39
<Michelle> 3, only when I take a break😁
14:30:06

15:10:20
<Michelle> :daisy:kiawe (at work), yeah, that one is a puzzle, iced over?
15:13:01
<Michelle> :daisy:
15:14:08
<Michelle> Too much steam to get in there
15:14:44
<Michelle> 15:12 start on Daisy
15:16:53
<Michelle> That almost looked like water coming from Castle
15:18:30
<kiawe (at work)> Earlier this week I saw a bison coming towards Castle from the L, and 3 visitors coming on the path from the R and was wondering if there was going to be a problme...
15:25:52
<3> that was water from Castle just then
15:28:21
<Michelle> 3, just messing with us
15:28:59
<3> yeah, definitely a quick spike, gearing up perhaps
15:29:37
<Michelle> I don't see a Castle prediction, we will keep one eye on it, I think she is getting ready
15:30:39
<Michelle> I think Lion might be done
15:30:45
<Grandpa Kevin > Just like Aurum…
15:30:50
