<J> yes, for sure
05:39:40
<CraigC> whoa, went for refill, nice colors
05:40:17
<CraigC> OF
05:43:53
<CraigC> J, if Riverside isn't obvious in the next hour you should re-enter than earlier one. There was lots of steam down there when I logged in
05:44:49
<J> I had to replay Bee a few times last night before I posted it, I was not sure I was not seeing things, could not pin down a good time for indy too hard to see
05:46:07
<CraigC> my rods and cones must be toast, I can't pick out any of that night stuff
05:47:03
<J> I deleted both of the last riversides the timing just did not seem right 5h 1 min and 4h 55 min
05:47:08
<CraigC> yesterday was fallen police day I believe
05:47:28
<J> yes
05:47:50
<CraigC> is this ok to show this
05:48:22
<J> yes
05:48:58
<J> do you kow the flag raiser?
05:49:01
<CraigC> cool, I bet there are people that would like seeing it
05:49:13
<CraigC> no idera who it is
05:49:47
<CraigC> pretty sure it was a different person yesterday
05:50:23
<J> I want to go up there sometime, but fat chance at my age
05:50:30
<CraigC> pure luck that I stumbled upon it 2 days this week
05:50:52
<CraigC> I was invited up last year, I passed. I'm too out of shape.
05:51:59
<J> you have a knck for being in the right place at the appropriate time
05:52:21
<J> knack**
05:52:28
<CraigC> I've been fortunated to catch some cool stuff, especially the other day
05:52:56
<CraigC> that one time a few years ago with the ravens next to the cam was really cool
05:53:32
<J> I remember
05:53:53
<CraigC> someone wrote a letter on that one :)
05:54:12
<J> :thumbsup:
05:54:40
<J> brb
05:54:42
<CraigC> reminds me to give out appreciation to others more
06:02:40
<J> ah, he bellowing of hungry cattle, I was checking my fences, my neighbor turned his cows loose yesterday
06:03:25
<J> I'm glad I rebuilt my fences early this spring
06:03:32
<CraigC> all good?
06:03:45
<J> yes
06:04:23
<CraigC> what if you have a gate and let one in every once in a while and have steaks for a few days
06:04:59
<J> igot smart this year I installe cameras to look at the fences
06:05:41
<CraigC> :thumbsup:
06:05:46
<J> I have considered just that
06:06:49
<J> steaks is just compensation for feeding them, right?
06:07:01
<CraigC> seems right to me
06:07:50
<CraigC> castle muct have had a minor, no?
06:08:45
<J> probably I did not see much on my recording
06:25:29
<J> the over night is out and both riversides are there 2356 and 0454
06:27:38

<CraigC> thanks for finding those
06:30:39
<J> yw
06:40:13
<J> I have a lousy internet or network, from 1800 to 0600 I have 102 separate recordings
06:41:17
<J> I need to modify my script to deal with the loss of signal better
06:41:42
<CraigC> wow
06:43:39
<J> I am just a hack when it comes to programming, I need an exper
06:44:06
<J> expert
06:44:13
<CraigC> sounds like you're well above the majority of us on here
06:44:37
<CraigC> my last programming was BASIC on keypunch cards in the 70s
06:48:00
<J> can you imagine, keypunch cards and punched paper tape is what we used to load programs ino computers that we used to send men into outer space
06:49:27
<J> I knew some of the programmers, they should have been kept in rubber rooms :)
06:49:42
<CraigC> could they imagine that we would have phones with more processing power in our pockets
06:50:19
<Kat> Good Morning and Howdy!
06:50:32
<CraigC> Kat, howdy :)
06:50:54
<J> I was a lowley electronics tech never did learn to program
06:51:23
<CraigC> BASIC was pretty simple
06:51:48

06:54:52
<Kat> CraigC, getting excited? I would be!
06:56:06
<Dave from B> FOLLOW THAT BIRD!
06:56:20
<CraigC> Kat, yeah, more excited now that I have most stuff done. Each year it gets more overwhelming with more and more brian fog setting in LOL
06:56:31
<CraigC> or brain fog
06:56:53
<Kat> I understand!
06:57:17
<Dave from B> Why not make a checklist?
06:57:32
<Dave from B> We don't have oner but I know many travelers do
06:57:34
<CraigC> Dave from B, I'm not making this up, last night after I went to bed I remembered your post about my bird video and I started laughing out loud in bed
06:57:47
<Kat> Dave from B, I do that always!
06:58:02
<J> I'm excited for Craig ,I would like for him to sit at economic and call the camop to point the camera there when it burps
06:58:28
<Kat> CraigC, I make a list way in advance and then as it shrinks I redo it mukltiple times!
06:58:34
<Dave from B> CraigC, you're not right in the head (FB reference in case people call me mean for this post)
06:58:47
<J> but alas he will be warming the seats at SB
06:58:47
<Kat> J, :)
06:58:48
<CraigC> I forget to make lists
06:58:53
<Dave from B> J, that is a good idea
06:59:01
<Kat> CraigC, Haha
06:59:41
<CraigC> seriously, I usually have 2 or 3 post it notes on the corner of the kitchen island of things to check off
07:00:14
<CraigC> didnt ever get around to doing them this time, my own fault
07:00:17
<Kat> CraigC, sometimes I lose the list and have to start over :)
07:00:39
<Dave from B> Don't forget the Cheezits for MA
07:01:12
<CraigC> Dave from B, no cheezits this time, I can't stop when I start
07:02:29
<CraigC> little squirt
07:02:30
<J> for me if cheezits were toh only thing...
07:03:07
<Dave from B> I hear ya. I have a real snacking problem at dinner. I remember my dad going to bed early so he would stop snacking. I don't know how to break the habit.
07:03:18

09:10:11
<Kat> Bird wants to be on cam! LOL
09:10:26
<Katie 🐻> Or to fight the cam...
09:10:58
<Katie 🐻> I had to hang an ornament in a window a couple weeks ago because an American Robin kept trying to fight his reflection.
09:10:59
<Kat> Katie 🐻, true- "stop taking my picture"
09:11:45
<Kat> Katie 🐻, I've had that really bad with cardinals -always afraid they are going to hurt themselves - and the knocking is so loud!
09:12:25
<Kat> OK - let's get a secoind
09:12:40
<Katie 🐻> Yup. I thought that robin was going to hurt himself - and he made a mess on the window
09:13:07
<Kat> Katie 🐻, Ornaments didnt always work on mine
09:13:50
<Kat> They would stand on my deck and knock on the sliding glass door fo days!
09:13:50
<Katie 🐻> I wasn't sure it was going to work, but it was the fastest/easiest thing to try. It worked this time.
09:14:00
<Kat> Katie 🐻, :thumbsup:
09:14:02
<CD> Looks like a C
09:14:10
<Katie 🐻> It's a stained glass sun catcher thingy.
09:14:21
<Kat> Katie 🐻, that's what used too
09:16:44
<Katie 🐻> so many variables - angle of light, type of glass, view through window, reflection of sky... I was glad it worked for me because I was preparing for a dinner party and really didn't have time to be messing with it
09:17:04
<Katie 🐻> But didn't want him beating himself to death
09:17:16
<CD> Looks like a T1C
09:17:38
<Kat> Katie 🐻, glad it worked! It always made me nervous! It was ussually the males
09:19:10
<CD> D = ~8m 50s
09:19:32
<CD> Surprised we did not get a 2nd
09:20:25

09:21:41
<CraigC> :daisy:
09:21:59
<Kat> CraigC, LOL
09:22:14
<CraigC> have any of you Birders ever see Birdy, themovie?
09:22:36
<Katie 🐻> I haven't. I haven't seen The Big Day, either. Need to.
09:23:06
<Kat> CraigC, nope
09:23:08
<CraigC> Birdy is heavy, has Mathew Modine, and a young unkown Nic Cage in an extremely somber role
09:23:32
<CraigC> score by Peter Gabriel.... watched it many time
09:23:52
<Katie 🐻> I'll have to check it out.
09:24:02
<Kat> Katie 🐻, me too
09:25:23
<Kat> Off topic but I really like that little group of bobbysock trees
09:26:09
<Kat> CraigC, got your shopping all done?
09:27:49
<CraigC> yeah, just got back and got it loaded

09:30:04
<CraigC> Murphy is my daughter's dog
09:30:22
<Kat> CraigC, oh! Thought he was yours :)
09:30:34
<CraigC> I wont get another dog of my own until I am done with long trips
09:31:03
<Kat> CraigC, yeah, that's why I just have a cat -miss my pups!
09:31:34
<CraigC> I should get a cat, then if it dies I wont care
09:31:38
<Kat> I would take Hops if Katie would give him up! LOL
09:31:49
<Kat> CraigC, uggghh!
09:31:56
<CraigC> I'm joking lOL
09:32:05
<Katie 🐻> Kat, there is a line. :D
09:32:18
<Kat> CraigC, I know
09:32:27
<Kat> Katie 🐻, I know :(
09:32:28
<Dave from B> Yeah...dogs do limit what you can do on the road.
09:33:01
<Kat> Dave from B, seems you did a good job of taking then to the bars in Florida!
09:33:05
<Dave from B> We have done doggy day care a couple of times when we did the Narrows in Zion, NASCAR in LV and Carlsbad Caverns
09:33:24
<Dave from B> Kat, haha...more welcome in bars than on the beaches!
09:33:36
<Kat> Dave from B, so true!
09:33:54
<Dave from B> We will leave them in our van for 2-4 hours if we know they won't get hot
09:33:57
<CraigC> dog poop isnt much worse than human vomit, they can deal with it
09:34:12
<Kat> CraigC, lol
09:35:00
<Kat> I am really goofing off today

<Katie 🐻> I'm inviting Lion to erupt by looking away
09:44:23
<Dave from B> What did I say?
09:45:01
<CraigC> Dave from B, no idea, I never pay attention to you
09:45:50
<Dave from B> Kat, EXPLAIN yourself!:D
09:46:43
<CraigC> don't be tossing that toxic masculinity arounf here, mister
09:48:08
<Dave from B> hahahaha
09:48:26
<CraigC> 'mister' was a good touch, admit it
09:48:30
<Dave from B> A better response would have been...be nice
09:48:41
<Dave from B> Who you calling mister?:D
09:49:15
<CraigC> ms?
09:49:32
<CraigC> Ms Dave?
09:49:40
<Dave from B> You're the one who curtsies
09:49:48
<CraigC> touche'

09:54:09
<Dave from B> It looks like we will be doing the farmers market for the first time in our history this summer
10:08:14
<Kat> Dave from B, I said I was goofing off - was expecting a smart comment from YOU LOL
10:09:32
<Kat> Hello Gary!
10:12:16
<CraigC> Daves are hard to predict
10:12:24
<Kat> The bison have arrived
10:13:38
<Kat> CraigC, so true- you jst never know with him! :)
10:23:50
<Kat> Way too close
10:27:50
<Dave from B> haha
10:30:28
<Dave from B> I'm always amazed, for some reason, when bison crossed thru the middle of geyser hill
10:31:54
<Dave from B> I wonder if a bison pie has ever made its way into a geyser
10:32:30
<Kat> Dave from B, i think yu should research that!
10:33:02
<CraigC> grown ups call it scat
10:33:04
<Dave from B> Kat, you've been hanging around CraigC and me for too long
10:34:16
<Kat> Dave from B, LOL
10:34:20
<Katie 🐻> pickens
10:34:29
<Katie 🐻> oops
10:34:57
<CraigC> :lion:
10:34:58
<Dave from B> sorry you put your password in the chat, Katie
10:35:11
<CraigC> :D
10:35:11
<Kat> Dave from B, hahaha
10:35:14
<Katie 🐻> :D
10:35:23
<Katie 🐻> As if I would have an password that simple!
10:35:43
<CraigC> "thatsimple"
10:35:50
<Kat> Nice!
10:35:58
<Kat> :lion:
10:37:20
<Katie 🐻> I might, however, have customer(s) with that last name. I'm on a "Smith," now. There are more than a few of those, but not as many as "Johnson."
10:40:28
<Dave from B> Try going to college with 3 others with your same name with one even living in your same dorm.
10:41:34
<Kat> Try having the name Kathy and when the elemntary teachers calls on Kathy 8 people raise there hands LOL
10:41:57
<Dave from B> haha
10:41:58
<Kat> He made it to the meadow!
10:45:57
<Kat> Riverside puffing?
10:49:03
<Kat> RS 1046 ns
10:52:08
<Dave from B> yes, that was Riverside puffing
10:59:01
<Katie 🐻> *facepalm* I am working on data migration to a new CRM/billing/ticketing system. While I could import a lot of data via .csv, there is much that must be done manually - like creation and assignments of rates/service plans.
10:59:57
<Katie 🐻> Yesterday I created a service plan that has $95/mo Standard Rate in its description. I assigned it to many customers yesterday. Today I just noticed a typoe.
11:00:10
<Katie 🐻> Rate was reading as "Rage"
11:00:21
<Katie 🐻> ha ha ha
11:00:36
<Dave from B> It knows how you feel
11:00:49
<Katie 🐻> No one but me ever saw that (since no invoices were created yet) and it was easily corrected, but wow
11:03:02
<Kat> Katie 🐻, Hahaha Rage
11:03:23
<Katie 🐻> No rage. I got over my knee-jerk reaction initial resistance pretty fast. There are advantages and disadvantages to both the prior and the new system. Some things will take longer in new. But new offers some new features. And, if used to best potential it will be more efficient long term.
11:03:49
<Kat> :thumbsup:
11:06:05
<Katie 🐻> It's work now, but that's what I'm paid for. AND, it will offer both centralization and better versatility for remote access, which can benefit me in future, as I've talked with employer about working remotely from abroad down the road. So. I do the work.
11:06:18
<CraigC> are there any newt features?
11:07:26
<Katie 🐻> CraigC, yes, the geo-spatial features in particular will help in visualizaiton when troubleshooting issues on what will be a greatly expanded network.
11:07:58
<Katie 🐻> It IS progress, not just "make work."
11:08:02
<CraigC> what does any of that have to do with amphibians
11:08:44
<Kat> CraigC, you crack me up!
11:09:23
<CraigC> I bet Katie isn't laughing
11:09:45
<Katie 🐻> Huh? Our old/current system is a leg-laying mammal, not an amphibian (the name of our current system is "Platypus.")
11:10:03
<Kat> Katie 🐻, excellent!
11:10:14
<Katie 🐻> I'm missing the amphibian reference. But I guess actually Platypus could be considered amphibious.
11:10:42
<Kat> CraigC› are there any newt features?
11:10:58
<Kat> copied and pasted
11:11:10
<Katie 🐻> Oh! haha.
11:11:30
<CraigC> figured if you were to make a typo, newt features would be a great one
11:12:39
<Dave from B> I was trying to figure out what to say about your newt...."I got nothing"
11:13:27
<CraigC> Dave from B, it's ok, it was one that was probably best ignored
11:13:32
<Katie 🐻> This new system has a boring name, but now I will refer to it as "Newt."
11:13:35
<Betty> morning all
11:13:46
<CraigC> Betty, howdy
11:13:51
<CD> Morning Betty
11:13:52
<Kat> Katie 🐻, good choice!
11:13:58
<Dave from B> Hi Betty
11:14:02
<Kat> Betty, Hi
11:14:23
<CraigC> Katie 🐻, you'll have people so confused..... "within our newt system, we have geo-spatial..."
11:14:29
<Betty> hi CraigC, CD, Kat, Dave from B, Katie 🐻
11:15:07
<CD> Daisy
11:15:32
<Kat> :daisy:
11:15:33
<Katie 🐻> CraigC, perfect!
11:16:37
<CraigC> tomorrow we will make some newt reference and no one will be able to understand, nor should they
11:17:15
<Dave from B> I wonder if there are newts in Yellowtone
11:17:43
<CraigC> tiger salamanders, close enough
11:18:00
<CraigC> but I doubt anyone types salamander as a typo
11:21:49
<Dave from B> Is that a challenge, CraigC?
11:40:22
<CraigC> Dave from B, if you feel secure enough in your toxic masculinity
11:43:19
<CraigC> speaking of which, on a serious note, did anyone read about the NFL player giving a commencement speech telling women to be homemakers?
11:43:40
<Katie 🐻> shithead
11:43:52
<Katie 🐻> there was a lot more offensive in it that just that
11:44:16
<CraigC> right, but in pace with my joking with Dave
11:45:08
<Katie 🐻> I really hope Alex Gubner ends up in NFL, but NOT with the Chiefs. Other team that has invited him to camp are Broncos. I don't like them, either, but at least...
11:49:57
<CraigC> I stopped watching NFL many years ago. When they went on strike and put all the blue collar workers on welfare, I just couldnt support it anymore. Same with NBA
12:00:22
<Dave from B> I don't condone what Harrison Butger said but I would recommend you listen to the entire speech and keep in mind it was at a religious school.
12:01:54
<Katie 🐻> I have. I did. And I'm Catholic. I still think he's a shithead for that speech and prior speeches. He also thinks priests should be friendless and not have dogs.
12:02:15
<CraigC> if a preacher said it, it wouldn't be news..... he works for the NFL
12:02:25
<Dave from B> I didn't realize he had spoken out before.

12:05:31
<Katie 🐻> Oops. I almost just made a mac a mc
12:05:54
<Katie 🐻> that could be worse than making a rate a rage
12:05:59
<Dave from B> I remember being taught at my Catholic High School that vocation possibilities included religious ministry, a career and/or parenthood. It was your job to figure out what applied for you.
12:06:14
<Dave from B> or, what was your calling.
12:07:30
<Katie 🐻> Good point. So, then, he also insulted nuns, who follow their vocation for religious life instead of being a wife and mother.
12:10:47
<Dave from B> I should probably end this conversation. My point was really to listen to entire speeches. So much news these days is short 10 second videos where things can be taken out of context. Maybe Butger's speech is a poor example.
12:11:49
<CraigC> Dave from B, you have a point about news. I did read the entire article earlier.
12:11:53
<Katie 🐻> I agree with you. In this particular case, listening to his entire speech actually makes it worse. And then adding his other public statements makes it even more so.
12:16:35
<linda> hello all
12:16:54
<Betty> hi linda
12:17:02
<CraigC> linda, howdy :)
12:17:10
<Katie 🐻> Hey Linda
12:18:47
<linda> hi Betty, CraigC, Katie 🐻,
12:21:45
<CraigC> Maybe this is a less inflammatory news story to discuss. A teen died from eating too many hot chili tortilla chips, now the chips have been pulled from shelves.
12:22:08
<CraigM> i didn't know spice could actually kill
12:22:20
<Katie 🐻> too much water can actually kill
12:22:24
<CraigM> did they have a heart condition that the pain caused to spike?
12:22:33
<CraigM> OH did they drink too much water to cool it down?
12:22:44
<CraigC> Wolobah's cause of death was listed as cardiopulmonary arrest "in the setting of recent ingestion of food substance with high capsaicin concentration."
12:23:10
<CraigM> yup. so spicy they had a heart attack. yeesh
12:23:35
<CraigC> don't eat "too many"
12:24:01
<linda> he nust have eaten an awful lot of chips
12:24:30
<CraigC> Wolobah also had an enlarged heart and a congenital heart defect, the medical examiner found.
12:24:48
<CraigC> important little factoid
12:24:58
<linda> yeah
12:26:07
<Dave from B> wow
12:26:35
<Jake📊> I was researching capsaicin yesterday after buying bear spray at Costco that said 2% capsaicin. I thought I got ripped off because bear spray is supposed to be 10%. I was wrong, it's 2% max
12:27:18
<Jake📊> which puts in the realm of 3 - 10x stronger than police mace
12:27:27
<CraigC> Jake📊, which costco sells the bear spray?
12:27:41
<Jake📊> SLC, 2 pack UDAP for $42
12:27:49
<CraigC> wow
12:28:03
<Jake📊> they say it's the world's largest Costco
12:28:05
<CraigM> hmm i might have to get some more. it does "expire" after awhile
12:28:06
<CraigC> we got some in Pocatato a few years ago
12:28:47
<Katie 🐻> Huh. I could have sworn it was $45 for the 2-pack at Costco here a couple weeks ago - up from $40 last year. I just looked, didn't buy. I buy Counter Assault in the larger cans and mine is still good.
12:29:01
<Jake📊> I have 3 expired sprays so I figured I should get a new one
12:29:25
<Jake📊> one is so expired the date is rubbed off. my best one only expired in Dec 2023 so it's probably still good
12:29:27
<Jake📊> "probably"
12:29:34
<CraigM> wouldn't want the bear to think that i'm using substandard product
12:29:39
<CraigM> only the best for smoky
12:31:48
<Jake📊> larger can would be nice if needed
12:32:47
<Jake📊> it's a fascinating market. bear spray probably only gets used legitamately a couple dozen times in a year in N. America? and they sell 10,000's of them ? I guess horrible death is a powerful motivator
12:35:27
<Dave from B> I just hike with slower people. :)
12:36:42
<Jake📊> you can find those at Costco, too
12:36:47
<Betty> like me :-)
12:37:09
<Dave from B> I'm not naming names:D
12:37:36
<Betty> plus.. a lot os bears can feed from me :-)
12:39:53
<Betty> I´m like a power bar for bears. lol
12:40:36
<Dave from B> haha. I think most of us are in that category. I use to have willpower; not anymore.
12:41:31
<CraigC> Dave from B, but you have cheezits to toss out as you run
12:43:10
<Dave from B> There's usually none left
12:44:47
<Dave from B> Where's the baby?
12:45:16
<Dave from B> wait, is it with the one on the right?
12:45:50
<Betty> these are bulls?
12:48:24
<Dave from B> All bison have horns. Her'es a link I just found to tell the differences.
12:48:40
<Dave from B> https://www.jhecotouradventures.com/insights/page/ask-a-naturalist-how-to-identify-male-and-female-bison
12:59:10
<Dave from B> Betty, I'm not sure what we were looking at. An interesting article I hope to read later.
13:35:38
<Kat> CraigC, Have a safe trip and I'll see you on the other side (of the cam) :)
13:36:18
<CraigC> Kat, thanks :)

13:53:11
<Dave from B> We must have missed one; that's a long interval
14:09:34
<Dave from B> Did bison stand out because so many people are close?
14:09:36
<Dave from B> up*
14:10:41
<Dave from B> I'm not liking this
14:11:25
<CraigM> strange..

15:14:42

<linda> KorbenC(16), congrats on graduating
15:16:28
<KorbenC(16)> Thank you Linda :D
15:16:42
<Pholli> Dunraven doesn't open until may 24th.🤔
15:17:19
<Jake📊> Pholli, I just got a text from the YNP road alerts text line that it is open
15:17:21
<KorbenC(16)> Thats what I thought too Pholli, road map says otherwise
15:18:15
<Jake📊> but, as a UT resident, I've also received the infamous urgent Amber Alert that said nothing more than "grey toyt"
15:18:16
<Pholli> Weird!
15:18:30
<Pholli> Grey toyt haha
15:19:30
<Jake📊> oops, I added a letter. it was 'gry toyt' https://www.abc4.com/news/twitter-has-fun-with-gry-toyt-error-in-utah-amber-alert/
15:19:33
<Pholli> To grand!
15:19:38
<Jake📊> went out to millions of cell phones
15:19:55
<Pholli> Grand!!
15:20:29
<CalebD> Nice start
15:20:33
<Jake📊> that was around the same time that the incoming missle alert happened in Hawaii so it was a difficult time for auto-broadcasted alerts
15:21:28
<linda> wont be any geysers left for me tonight :(
15:24:39
<Pholli> Well I made some of grand. Here's for a second burst!
15:29:25
<Pholli> Woof we are still very powerful 10 minutes in. Not looking good haha
15:30:21
<CalebD> There was a long False phase at 9m
15:30:41

<CraigC> CalebD, how is the weather in the park?
15:44:24
<Betty> :-)
15:48:55
<Ph> Strange. I'm down by Oblong now
15:52:04
<CraigC> Ph, I heard you got some grief by some visitors the other day, I am sorry they weren't very nice. I was impressed by well you handled that situation with bears coming one way and bison on the other side.
16:02:38
<Ph> Thank you Craig, that's very kind. It was a tough day for sure. Was really happy it was my weekend. A gentleman was upset he missed grand. Then blamed me but by the time I turned him around grand was already completely finished haha.
16:03:31
<CraigC> ughhh
16:04:28
<LindaG> Hi I've got the cam :)
16:04:37
<CraigC> LindaG, howdy :)
16:04:52
<Ph> Hello:)
16:05:02
<CraigC> Ph, I'll try not to give you too much grief if I see you this next week or so
16:06:11
<Ph> Hard day but after the weekend I'm ready to take on anything again :D
16:06:32
<Ph> Excited to start meeting people! Putting face to name
16:07:59
<CraigC> Ph, weren't you there last season?
16:08:41
<Jake📊> CraigC, you can complain about missing Grand when they didn't serve your ice cream fast enough at Lower Ham's
16:09:21
<CraigC> LOL
16:09:43
<CraigC> sawmill
16:10:14
<Ph> Yes I was! Not very good at remembering people. Especially after seeing so many a day at the desk
16:10:22
<LindaG> Ph, hi
16:10:28
<LindaG> CraigC, howdy
16:11:01
<CraigC> Ph, yeah, I dont remember who I met last year, but we probably met down at grotto where I camp a lot. I'm short and fat and ride a mtn bike
16:12:29
<Ph> Haha I'll try and keep that in my memory
16:12:48
<CraigC> at times I have helped update the signs at Riverside and Daisy when rangers have been busy
16:13:26
<Ph> That's super helpful! Getting someone down there can be tough some times

16:38:12
<CraigC> Ph, those are my babies!!!!!
16:38:36
<CraigC> Ph, do you know about the pressure pool in front of grotto fountain?
16:39:11
<LindaG> Daisy
16:39:56
<Kat> Hi Linda and all
16:40:11
<CraigC> Kat, howdy :)
16:40:44
<LindaG> Kat, hi
16:40:50
<Kat> :thumbsup:
16:42:30
<Ph> Ooh no I don't, I don't know too much about grottos behavior. Let me hear it!
16:44:02
<CraigC> Ph, so I watch for pressure pool to rise up when grotto is starting an energy cycle, and if grotto ftn starts boiling, then watch for GF to buildup 2 or 3 feet or so and if it holds there and the pool drops and GF doesnt drop, then it is a good sign GF will turn into full eruption, and then Grotto will erupt soon after
16:44:03
<LindaG> Brb need food ;)
16:44:07
<Kat> CraigC, is the truck hooked up and ready to go? :)
16:44:34

16:45:37
<Kat> CraigC, excellent -I would probably be on the road already - it's hard for me to wait for GO time!
16:46:34
<CraigC> Kat, I thought about going tonight and staying at walmart in rexburg until AM, but it is only a 3 to 3.5 hr drive to there. So better to get good night sleep tonight

18:40:30
<LindaG> annoying doesn't want to.zoom
18:42:55
<Korben(16)> Linda, could we zoom in on Plate area?
18:45:06
<Korben(16)> Thanks, hasn't been seen in awhile
19:09:20
<LindaG> OF

<LindaG> That's early
20:30:57
<LindaG> Aurum splash
20:35:11
<LindaG> Wow aurum.is hot
20:42:17
<CraigC> looks like aurum could go
20:42:44
<LindaG> Yeah hope OF holds off
20:43:04
<LindaG> already went once tonight, maybe it's back :)
20:43:58
<LindaG> CraigC, will give you something to do :)
20:44:16
<CraigC> naaaaa, I hardly ever go on the hill anymore
20:44:37
<LindaG> Not even for aurum, ohhh
20:44:38
<CraigC> too many people
20:44:54
<Korben(16)> But what about Beehive!
20:45:09
<CraigC> vault is probably the only thing that would get me on the hill
20:45:30
<LindaG> come on aurum
20:46:41
<LindaG> for me the hill is too exposed, hate sitting around waiting
20:47:40
<CraigC> not even many comfortable places to sit
20:48:12
<CraigC> sitting on the ground with that doublet bench for back rest is about the best spot
20:48:32
<LindaG> Guess I'm a birder at heart we are always walking and looking
20:50:26
<LindaG> yeah my back can't take those benches
20:50:48
<LindaG> My Recliner is so much more comfortable lol
20:52:09
<LindaG> OF
20:54:04
<LindaG> Oh poo
20:56:26
<LindaG> I remember now, aurum would tease me for hours :p
21:02:04
<Korben(16)> I will be the Aurum sacrafice, night all!
21:02:36
<LindaG> Korben(16), thank you
21:02:44
<LindaG> Korben(16), night
21:12:49
<CraigC> bummer, thought it was close
21:13:56
<LindaG> Losing light
21:15:16
<LindaG> in the day it used to.erupt every 4 hours
21:21:59
<CraigC> LindaG, the year I was hanging out with Wm a lot, we spent a lot of time on the hill and I saw a bunch of Aurums. Glad I did it. But now I prefer quieter places
21:22:07
<LindaG> Great sunset
21:22:54
<LindaG> yeah I can understand that
21:23:21
<CraigC> I have been loving taking my bike and camp chair out around Firehole Lake drive
21:23:23
<LindaG> Aurum will erupt but in the dark :(
21:23:53
<CraigC> sitting by pink cone now is so relaxing
21:24:25
<CraigC> I never should have tyoped that in here LOL
21:24:44
<LindaG> >(
21:24:44
<CraigC> where is the delete function
21:24:57
<LindaG> Dave might read that lol
21:25:35
<CraigC> more worried about general public
21:26:30
<LindaG> Eric should put in a delete function
21:26:55
<LindaG> I've wished for it a few times >(
