09:00:42 <TomK> Got it.
09:01:03 <TomK> "Thanks for driving."
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!
12:52:58 <Michelle> TomK, has it been freezing up today?
12:53:09 <TomK> 20F ? "Canadians open parkas"
12:53:41 <TomK> Cam has been smooth.
12:56:52 <Michelle> That is good
12:57:34 <TomK> Ready when you are, Michelle.
12:57:46 <Michelle> I am ready
12:58:18 <TomK> I'm off.
12:58:27 <TomK> Bye all
12:58:53 <Betty> bye TomK

13:01:36 <Michelle> Good afternoon Ms Bee
13:08:21 <CalebD> Aftrnoon alll!
13:09:06 <Michelle> CalebD, hello
13:10:12 <Michelle> Steamy
13:10:41 <Betty> hi CalebD, Michelle
13:11:01 <Michelle> Betty, hello
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
13:29:45 <Michelle> Riverside
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 <Michelle> Everything froze
13:55:04 <3> :thumbsup:
13:55:14 <kiawe (at work)> Aloha!
13:55:20 <Michelle> OF window
13:55:45 <Michelle> kiawe (at work), hello
13:57:29 <kiawe (at work)> :bee: was sloshing a few minutes ago rather enthusiastically.
14:03:21 <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.
14:07:48 <kiawe (at work)> *imagines Madame Pele yeeting a major appliance out of the crater*
14:08:18 <Michelle> OF
14:08:42 <kiawe (at work)> Clearing overburden.
14:11:14 <Michelle> long
14:16:28 <Michelle> Going to move my legs while we have a break. brb
14:17:48 <kiawe (at work)> kk
14:20:04 <kiawe (at work)> It mlooks (to my tired eyes) like marmot is splashing.
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 <Betty> think it is indy
14:24:09 <3> me too
14:24:15 <3> let's go closer
14:24:23 <kiawe (at work)> :i:
14:24:36 <3> did Michelle leave?
14:24:52 <Michelle> Its INDY
14:24:53 <kiawe (at work)> She said she'd be back; going to stretch legs.
14:24:55 <3> a few peeps on bw
14:25:12 <3> yep, indy
14:25:27 <KorbenC> yay!
14:25:29 <KorbenC> .
14:25:29 <KorbenC> .
14:25:29 <KorbenC> .
14:25:29 <KorbenC> .
14:25:44 <kiawe (at work)> Happy :bee:Indicator dance!
14:26:11 <Michelle> Happens every time I leave
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 <3> :)
14:30:13 <Michelle> :bee:
14:31:34 <kiawe (at work)> That was a rather short Indicator, ditto BH.
14:32:35 <Betty> rainbow on static
14:33:02 <3> :thumbsup:
14:37:25 <kiawe (at work)> Went very quicky to steam phase.
14:43:07 <Michelle> Almost forgot....Thank you Ms Bee!
14:43:30 <Betty> :-)
14:47:00 <Michelle> LC
14:53:51 <Michelle> A lot of roaring going on
14:54:01 <Michelle> MC again
14:56:57 <kiawe (at work)> Hard to spot a lot of the smaller geysers with all the low hanging steam clouds.
14:58:54 <Michelle> :lion:
14:59:23 <Michelle> NOpe nevermind, just aroar
14:59:31 <kiawe (at work)> Mad steaming
15:03:43 <kiawe (at work)> Aloha DougB
15:05:22 <Michelle> Daisy in the window too
15:06:25 <kiawe (at work)> Saw woke up.
15:07:25 <kiawe (at work)> *scratches head* How can a hot spring get iced over?
15:08:28 <Michelle> Tardy
15:08:49 <kiawe (at work)> Yup. the Dynamic Duo.
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 <3> :thumbsup:
15:32:24 <Michelle> Grandpa Kevin 🌵🦩, I keep thinking I see Aurum (at least 3), but it's that patch of white snow back behind!
15:35:39 <Michelle> OF window coming back around
15:35:58 <Michelle> Castle is trying
15:40:33 <Michelle> OF
15:40:52 <Michelle> Nope false start
15:52:17 <3> those strong preplays seem to delay it
15:53:03 <Michelle> OF
15:53:55 <Michelle> 3, yes they do
15:54:09 <Michelle> rainbow
15:54:13 <3> rainbow
15:56:11 <Michelle> long
15:59:52 <3> looks like Steve is at the Lake
16:01:03 <Michelle> Alrighty. Been fun, but I am out. Have a wonderful afternoon
16:01:35 <Michelle> Thank you Joe!😊
16:01:37 <Betty> enjoy your evening, Michelle
16:02:00 <3> I'm out too, thanks for driving Michelle
16:02:14 <3> Castle still considering erupting...
16:02:26 <Betty> bye. 3
16:18:06 <kiawe (at work)> I should hele on too. Aloha, everyone *I got to see Bee! Ha!*
17:47:47 <CalebD> Tall Lion splash

18:26:49 <Grandpa Kevin > Love the desert
18:44:06 <Michelle> Wow!!
18:44:47 <Michelle> Just popped in to make sure we get a recording. This is amazing
18:46:13 <Michelle> Going back 30 minutes
18:49:00 <Michelle> Ok, I am out. Have a great night!!
