04:56:19
<J> Morning Craaig
04:57:56
<J> Craig**
05:11:48
<LynnS> CraigC, How can I pm you?
05:16:09
<J> Craig just click on the name onthe right box PM ablity comes up
05:17:28
<LynnS> Thank you J
05:18:40
<J> and how are you on here without a name in that same box?
05:19:55
<J> Hi LynnS Craig dropped out his name is nit in that box
05:23:31
<CraigC> I ma back now
05:23:35
<CraigC> hey Lynn
05:23:41
<J> Hi Craig
05:23:51
<CraigC> hey Joe, how's it going
05:24:59
<J> good, but I confused Lynns question I thought it was you asking
05:25:18
<CraigC> you haven't had enough coffee yet
05:25:42
<J> no first sip now :)
05:25:57
<CraigC> amateur, I am on 3rd cup
05:27:03
<J> it takes me a while...I am old you know
05:27:45
<CraigC> almost old enough to run for president
05:28:18
<J> I have considered....
05:29:18
<J> :):)
05:30:03
<CraigC> realistically, in htis next election, we might be voting mostly for the vice president
05:34:09
<J> I want a job like the ruler of england, do nothing but spend money
05:34:34
<CraigC> :D
05:35:15
<CraigC> bizarre that archaic royalty is still relevant in modern times
05:35:59
<CraigC> as I say that, we have modern rockefellers, Morgans, and Venderbilts
05:36:51
<J> :thumbsup: or: thumbsdown:whicever fits
05:37:08
<CraigC> :thumbsdown:
05:37:18
<J> argh no space
05:37:54
<CraigC> bezos is no hero, IMO
05:38:23
<J> not at all
05:38:25
<CraigC> Gates at least does a lot fo philanthropy
05:38:59
<CraigC> now Gates is putting a lot of money into nuclear energy
05:39:14
<J> I think his wife makes him do that
05:39:30
<CraigC> they split
05:39:54
<CraigC> they were doing the clean water stuff for 3rd world nations
05:40:04
<J> I am realy out of touch
05:40:49
<J> and maybe thats a good thing
05:41:13
<CraigC> my yahoo news page has various feeds, many of them have gossip stores now.... taylor swift news
05:41:43
<CraigC> so I see all kinds of headlines, but dont read the stories
05:42:48
<J> I don't do that stuff...gives me a headache
05:43:46
<CraigC> well, there are good articles mixed in here and there, if the info is recurring over somewhat reputable sources, then I give it some weight
05:44:43
<CraigC> no CNN, no Fox LOL
05:44:54
<J> I installed a mini split AC yesterday...it was either that or a new swamp cooler
05:46:41
<CraigC> I dont know what that is
05:48:19
<J> it is a air conditioner with the compressor out sade and a small cooling unit on the inside
05:48:43
<CraigC> not the same as Central Air?
05:49:04
<J> no, not at all
05:50:40
<J> never had central air I have considered it but to many dollars
05:50:58
<J> too many**
05:51:58
<CraigC> I had to get a new compressor a few years ago, and now I need to tear apart the furnace to get to the AC coils and clean them. Our system doesnt cool near as well as when we first moved in
05:56:52
<J> :daisy:
05:57:21
<CraigC> J, did you get snow?
06:00:48
<CraigC> hey, Cooper entered OF, good job, he must have been lurking last night LOL
06:07:30
<J> no snow here
06:08:18
<CraigC> howdy VC
06:08:44
<VC> Morning
06:08:57
<CraigC> VC, did you get much snow
06:09:20
<VC> He read the chat log like the rest of us!
06:09:56
<VC> A light dusting. ITS COLD!
06:11:02
<VC> 29°
06:14:37
<J> :lion:
06:19:54
<J> and "Bobs your uncle" :)
06:22:02
<CraigC> I dont get that one
06:22:40
<J> a term used for and there it is
06:23:13
<CraigC> lol
06:23:19
<CraigC> groovy
06:25:24
<Kat> Good morning!
06:25:33
<CraigC> Kat, howdy
06:25:54
<Kat> Howdy back!
06:27:31
<Kat> Nice ittle dusting of snow! Pretty
06:29:26
<Kat> little*
06:29:46
<Kat> Korben is Bee sitting, how long is he in the park?
06:30:41
<J> one month I think
06:30:55
<Kat> :thumbsup:
06:31:11
<J> graduation present
06:31:39
<Kat> Nice!
06:58:13
<GO SNOW> east entrance closed
06:58:50
<CraigC> of
07:06:12
<GO SNOW> Rift interval over 2 days, its broken
07:07:46
<Kat> :(
07:08:42
<CalebD(19)> Wait, isin't that a good thing for grandf
07:08:49
<CalebD(19)> grabd?
07:08:55
<CalebD(19)> *Grand?
07:09:06
<Kat> One more time Caleb! LOL
07:09:48
<CraigC> no, that is Riverside
07:09:57
<CalebD(19)> Still have not gotten used to my new keyboard :p
07:10:06
<Kat> :thumbsup:
07:11:52
<CalebD(19)> I need to remember to pack a big jacket for my trip in case it snows :)
07:23:42
<CalebD(19)> that looked like a lion raor
07:24:08
<Kat> :thumbsup:
07:28:15
<Kat> :lion:
07:28:59
<CalebD(19)> nice
07:47:54
<Dave from B> Good morning fellow gazers both young and old:)
07:48:34
<Kat> Dave from B, who you calling old?
07:49:24
<Mike J> Eh? What did you say?
07:49:25
<Dave from B> Mike J:)
07:51:43
<Kat> :daisy:
07:52:38
<Dave from B> Brrrrrr 44 in Blgs this morning
07:59:47
<CalebD(19)> Korben says that beehive is looking good and would recomend kepping it in the webcam's veiw
08:00:12
<Kat> :) it is!
08:00:35
<CalebD(19)> :thumbsup:
08:10:57
<Dave from B> Where is he?
08:11:09
<Dave from B> sleeping on the bench?
08:13:12
<CraigC> you should ask if you can move the cam to see other stuff
08:13:46
<CraigC> might be missing a Sprinkler
08:13:58
<Dave from B> and a Jewel
08:14:06
<CraigC> oooohhh
08:14:08
<Kat> Dave from B, lol
08:14:34
<CraigC> nvm, it is looking good, keep it here
08:14:36
<Dave from B> I dare Kroben to take a BH shower this morning
08:14:46
<Kat> Sprinkler!
08:14:47
<CraigC> steam is a sure sign
08:15:19
<CraigC> LOL
08:15:33
<CraigC> I was inspired
08:16:33
<Dave from B> Sprinkler would be a hit if it was near a boardwalk
08:17:04
<CraigC> Dave from B, I forgot, when are you going back to the park
08:20:05
<Dave from B> A week from tomorrow
08:20:27
<CraigC> Dave from B, how long will you be there
08:20:31
<Kat> Dave from B, :thumbsup:
08:21:54
<Dave from B> 4 nights. First 2 at Canyon; next 2 at Madison
08:22:38
<Dave from B> Just booked next years 4 night gazing trip at Grant Village so we could have showers. Don't have to deal with LGB bison and MGB GPS traffic that way
08:23:11
<Dave from B> Campnab is scanning for my 4 night wildlife trip next year already
08:23:20
<Dave from B> for Slough Creek CG
08:23:35
<CraigC> I wish it were easier for me to get to Grant
08:25:39
<Kat> Korben and his chair
08:27:57
<Dave from B> CraigC, you could add an extra day or 2 in the Tetons and head up that way.
08:29:14
<CraigC> tetons aren't very fun alone, I never hike alone
08:31:25
<Dave from B> Take your ebike. I hear they have some nice bike trails
08:32:02
<CraigC> Dave from B, I've seen videos of some hardcore ones up there
08:32:17
<Katie 🐻> Good morning
08:32:37
<Kat> Katie 🐻, good morning!
08:33:28
<Dave from B> CraigC, can't you take tram to top and bike down?
08:34:37
<Dave from B> Morning Katie. Any white on the roads in your area?
08:34:50
<CraigC> Dave from B, I don't ride hard downhill anymore. At my age risk management is a priority. I like long slow climbs, and chill windie downhills
08:34:51
<Katie 🐻> Just wet here
08:35:40
<Katie 🐻> Have you seen the photos/videos of Gordon' Ramsey's bicycle crash bruising? Holy crap!
08:35:55
<CraigC> I havent
08:36:11
<Katie 🐻> His entire abdomen on one side, at least, is black. He didn't show the other side.
08:36:33
<CraigC> looking at it, wowow
08:36:33
<Katie 🐻> He made a little helmet PSA - that he would have been killed if he hadn't been wearing a helmet.
08:37:49
<Katie 🐻> In the video, one hand is shaking hard - not sure if that is neuro injury or pain reaction.
08:38:11
<CraigC> road bikers..... here is my thing with that, pro motorcyclers rarely die, but one did a few years ago, cuz then went for a road bike ride between races
08:38:49
<Kat> Katie 🐻, just looked at it Katie - he sounds shook!
08:40:16
<Katie 🐻> No doubt.
08:42:24
<CraigC> I've had 2 wrecks where I may not be here typing if I hadn't been wearing a helmet
08:43:22
<Dave from B> You will never catch me on a dirt mountain bike trail. I value my body.
08:44:04
<CraigC> dirt doesnt weigh 2000 lbs going 40 to 60 mph at you while looking at a phone
08:45:08
<Dave from B> asphalt trails AWAY from traffic is what we do. I don't like riding along a road, either.
08:45:19
<CraigC> :thumbsup:
08:45:29
<CraigC> good choice
08:46:07
<CraigC> sometimes I take the road from my house to a trail that is 1/2 mile away, and I move off the road when cars come by
08:47:32
<Dave from B> I cringed last weekend. There were 6 bicyclers on the road between Petrified tree and Hellroaring trailhead. To me, that's a death wish.
08:47:47
<CraigC> yeah, and selfish
08:48:54
<Chancellor> of
08:49:54
<Kat> Yellowstone is just not! safe for bikes
08:50:13
<CraigC> only at preseason
08:50:21
<Dave from B> Exactly. If it isn't the cars the bears will get you
08:50:27
<Kat> CraigC, yep when no cars
08:50:48
<Kat> Dave from B, bears is what I would worry about
08:51:29
<CraigC> we have a closed off road that used to be the route to Snow Basin ski resort, and we can ride up that if we want a break from trails
08:51:32
<Katie 🐻> Bears and bison can be avoided. Extension mirrors and distracted drivers are harder to avoid.
08:53:19
<CraigC> Ogden aslo has the river parkway trail that has over 20 miles of paved path
08:53:21
<Dave from B> Even just hiking with Michelle next week, we will hike only on busy trails
08:53:45
<Dave from B> There are some nice city biking systems out there.
08:54:16
<CraigC> we need WAY better bike lanes, though.... it is so scary around where I live
08:55:17
<CraigC> there are some rods right by my house where I am on edge driving because of worrying about bikers being right around the next curve
08:56:02
<Dave from B> I'm an old slow driver these days
08:56:13
<CraigC> me too, but we're the exception
08:56:30
<CraigC> I see people doing 50 all the time in a 30
08:57:02
<CraigC> peoople dont stop at stop signs either
08:57:46
<Dave from B> I agree with that. I see more driving rules broken every year
08:58:19
<Dave from B> I was surprised driving in the park was very good. Below speed limit and everyone was patient.
09:00:39
<CraigC> they were probably cursing at you
09:04:58
<Dave from B> The fastest I go in our RV is 62; even if the limit is 80.
09:05:28
<CraigC> for sure, cursing
09:07:10
<CraigC> when I had to drive a State vehicle around and stay even AT the speed limit, I had people flipping me off all the time LOL
09:07:52
<Dave from B> I stay out of the way on the Interstate and I pull over if there are too many behind me.
09:08:33
<Dave from B> The good news is even though I went over Chief Joseph Highway, I still got 20.3 mpg over 575 miles
09:09:07
<CraigC> wow
09:11:25
<Kat> Nice clouds!
09:11:36
<Dave from B> 35-45 mph speed limits do wonders for mpg.
09:12:30
<Dave from B> Did you guys see the weird clouds over the basin Saturday midday. We were sitting at a Daisy eruption and they were many oval shaped clouds.
09:13:20
<Kat> East entrance and Sylvan pass now open
09:43:02
<Kat> Grotto
09:45:52
<Kat> :daisy:
10:00:14
<Dave from B> The last 3 overnight Grands have been A entries. Is the NPS data logger broken?
10:50:49
<GO SNOW> Dave - we dont get E times from NPS
10:51:10
<GO SNOW> only know them if they post a prediction
10:52:43
<GO SNOW> looks like NPS Daisy prediction is off by an hour
10:54:33
<GO SNOW> was there heavy rain/snow to delay BH?
10:55:02
<Ben VL> probably

<Ben VL> probably
12:20:20
<Dave from B> oops. I'm supposed to be driving again...give me a few
12:21:08
<Dave from B> Lots of changes happening at work keeping me preoccupied. sorry.

12:22:44
<Katie 🐻> Oh, I'm here at this desk regardless, and in good multi-tasking tasks.
12:27:41
<GO SNOW> odd Rift comment from Korben. i would think the steam was from the WT eruption wen Rift didnt erupt
12:29:57
<Dave from B> I will do a walk about after the next Turban
12:32:32
<GO SNOW> looks like Grand thinks Rift erupted
12:33:23
<Dave from B> Any chance the 4hr10min overflow time has changed?
12:34:01
<Dave from B> Riverside ie
12:34:59
<GO SNOW> i dont think it changed
12:35:12
<GO SNOW> turban
