06:40:23 <GO SNOW> :thumbsup:
06:40:56 <Kat> Churn steamy
06:42:37 <GO SNOW> was interesting to see Churn and Uncertain the other day
06:42:57 <Kat> GO SNOW, :thumbsup:
06:58:19 <Joe> I saw only 2 Churn for sure last night, there were other questionable churns but the tow seen were definitely churn
06:59:06 <Joe> tow=two

07:00:36 <Kat> Joe, how has the cam been?
07:01:50 <Joe> good but still drops controls from time to time
07:02:09 <Kat> Joe, thx

08:26:44 <Kat> Nice bulger
08:49:32 <SeanP> Good morning all. I just saw the video of OF and wondered if the two people were park employees or unauthorized cone walkers?
08:51:55 <Kat> SeanP, authorized! thx
08:52:37 <SeanP> To camera operator, nice views! Would you be willing to move camera back to OF. If the two folks don’t appear to be employees, would you please notify LE for everyone’s safety. Thanks
08:53:25 <Kat> No, can't we are asked to not when they are in view. Sorry! They are researchers
08:54:05 <Kat> We are aware of their working
08:55:09 <SeanP> Understand and thanks for the info. I would hate to see anyone injured or worse being out there. Thanks Kat!
08:55:55 <Kat> SeanP, yep, we are always on the lookout for violations and call LE when we see anything. Thank you!
08:57:11 <SeanP> Kat, how long have you been operating the camera.
08:57:49 <Kat> Almost 8 years now:)
08:58:30 <SeanP> Must be a challenge to keep an eye on all the thermals then catching the action on camera for all to see!!
08:59:07 <SeanP> Kat …thanks for your work👍🏻
08:59:45 <Kat> SeanP, sure, I enjoy it! My favorite was capturing wolves on cam!
09:01:06 <SeanP> We’re there wolves recently? It is a special thing seeing them at OF. Beautiful day in the park:sun:
09:01:16 <Kat> OF
09:01:39 <SeanP> Were not we’re🤦🏼‍♂️🤣
09:02:24 <Kat> There were a few this year but it's been a few years ago when we the Wapitis - the whole pack!
09:02:56 <Kat> :daisy:
09:03:11 <SeanP> I remember seeing that. They were all very ver UGB!
09:03:39 <Kat> SeanP, it was a thrill, I love wolf watching when I'm in the park
09:04:21 <SeanP> My apologies for far fingers🤣Meant to say they were all over UGB
09:05:03 <SeanP> Wolf watching is one of my wife’s favorite things to do at YNP
09:05:15 <Kat> I think OF was long! hard to tell on static but I'll know when the next one erupts
09:05:40 <Kat> SeanP, knew exactly what you meant! :)
09:06:23 <SeanP> 👍🏻😁
09:10:09 <Kat> :lion:

09:55:12 <Michelle> DanS, I expect lots of Aurums when you get there!
09:55:37 <Kat> DanS, have a few folks in basin today, returning staff I'm sure!
09:55:48 <Michelle> Kat, I thought it was going to be a geyser question!!😂😂
09:55:52 <Kat> DanS, yes!
09:56:50 <Kat> Michelle, no music on the webcam...so not sure what you are referring to
09:57:03 <Kat> That was meant for SeanP,
09:57:38 <DanS> Will see what I can do for Aurum, but got shut out last fall...
09:57:55 <Kat> DanS, :(
09:58:03 <Michelle> Kat, i just thought he was going to ask a geyser question and you would know the answer! Being funny!😂
09:58:27 <Kat> Michelle, :)
09:59:10 <Kat> Michelle, what time do you want to cover on Wed?
09:59:43 <Michelle> Kat, wherever I am needed most
09:59:48 <SeanP> To clarify, I watch on YouTube: Live Yellowstone National Park Old Faithful Relaxing music. The music is on a loop which continuously loops. Just wondering if you or anyone on this site knows name of musical piece.

10:06:00 <Michelle> OF on static
10:06:13 <CD> But might get a 2bd in series
10:06:17 <Kat> sweing up there
10:07:03 <Michelle> No research crew that I see😁
10:07:13 <Kat> :thumbsup:

11:16:50 <DanS> Interesting that we all these Bulger majors there have been no Bulgers Hole sightings
11:16:52 <Michelle> cancel my last Turban call. I think that was a Turban!!😂😂😂😂
11:17:47 <Michelle> DanS, I have seen more Bulgers in the last week, then I did all last year! And yes, no Hole!
11:22:27 <CD> spasmodic ramping up
11:29:59 <Michelle> OF in the window
11:32:48 <Michelle> No research team!!
11:32:54 <CD> Michelle, Could I have a lat look at the sawmill group before oF?
11:34:26 <Michelle> tardy
11:34:50 <CD> :thumbsup:
11:34:55 <CD> Just started
11:34:57 <CD> Thanks!
11:35:17 <Michelle> I would say thats a Turban too. So last Turban may have been right
11:35:31 <CD> :thumbsup:
11:35:53 <Michelle> just making sure its not a Grand before I move
11:40:17 <Betty> a people
11:40:42 <Michelle> these controls are insane. it wants to go to the roof
11:41:14 <Michelle> People up there. Maybe they are working on it?
11:42:25 <Michelle> STEAMBOAT!!!
11:42:37 <73> Woohoo!
11:43:43 <Michelle> Haven't seen an email saying they are working on it, but it wanted to stay on the roof.
11:47:55 <Dave from B> It would have been nice if SB would have waited for Opening Day
11:48:31 <DanS> Dave from B, :thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup:
11:49:32 <Betty> hi Dave from B
11:50:04 <Michelle> Steamboat is never nice!!😁
11:50:35 <Betty> talk to Dave, Michelle ;-)
11:52:20 <Michelle> Betty, I was there the day before it erupted once, heard it erupted, flew on my broom over there and all I got was steam!
11:55:27 <Betty> I´m glad I was able to see a beautiful eruption in 2019
11:55:36 <Michelle> I did get to see Cistern empty.
11:56:09 <Betty> I had a steamphase in 2018
11:58:16 <GO SNOW> guess we dont need to waste time up there for a while now
11:58:38 <Michelle> My dad tells me I saw it as a kid, but I don't really remember it. Either 1967, 68 0r 69. He don't remember which year we saw it.
11:59:48 <Kat> /'Steamboat! Yay!
12:01:30 <Michelle> :grand:
12:02:11 <Michelle> OF
12:02:45 <Michelle> Nope on OF
12:02:52 <Betty> hi GO SNOW
12:03:15 <Michelle> thought I saw it on static
12:04:39 <Jimbo Looks Clo> I guess SeanP is no longer on the chat. I think the music is the same background music that they play on the Monterey Bay aquarium webcams, and I think it's the same music they actually play at the aquarium.
12:04:59 <Michelle> Looks like Grotto too
12:05:07 <CD> :thumbsup:
12:05:37 <CD> 2nd burst
12:06:09 <GO SNOW> hi Betty. i am home now after my 15 opera trip to Germany

15:19:04 <Michelle> short
15:24:22 <Michelle> Tardy back on
15:30:39 <Michelle> I didn't see enough of Castle to know if it was a major or not
15:31:51 <GO SNOW> not in steam phase, must have been a minor
15:32:14 <GO SNOW> and its splashing too, so minored
15:35:31 <Michelle> bulger again
15:48:08 <Michelle> Now the preset screen is trying to boot me
15:50:28 <GO SNOW> can you put minor on the Castle please?

15:54:31 <Michelle> LindaG, hello
15:55:10 <LindaG> Michelle, HI
15:55:41 <Michelle> LindaG, can you pull up the regular control screen? Mine is black, been using the preset screen
15:56:17 <LindaG> ILL TAKE A LOOK
15:58:05 <LindaG> looks ok to me
15:59:36 <Michelle> Weird. Since 1435, all I have had is the preset screen for controls and controls have been awful today
16:01:35 <LindaG> looks ok to left of 4 arrows it says preset, maybe you clicked that by mistake?
16:02:16 <LindaG> * look to left
16:03:19 <LindaG> its really under the arrows, duh
16:03:41 <CalebD> Spasmodic turning off I think
16:04:12 <Michelle> LindaG, nothing to left. My screen is black and had to go into the preset screen. It worked really good.
16:05:00 <LindaG> Michelle, huh mine seems ok
16:05:53 <Michelle> I will turn it over to you. Hope they work a little better than they did for me today. Happy Driving and thank you!
16:06:14 <LindaG> Michelle, enjoy your night and thanks for driving
16:06:29 <LindaG> Michelle, thx
16:07:32 <Michelle> I am out. Thank Linda!

19:53:01 <LindaG> oblong
20:00:19 <LindaG> :daisy:
20:03:21 <CalebD> I think maybe spasmodic quiting
20:03:45 <CalebD> which would mean we would ahev churn in the next few minutes
20:09:04 <CalebD> Churn is certainly full
20:09:16 <CalebD> but hard to say when it will erupt
20:10:26 <LindaG> i wish grand would erupt
20:10:42 <CalebD> Me too
20:13:28 <LindaG> sprinkler :p
20:14:08 <CalebD> Well now spasmodic looks back on
20:14:23 <CalebD> I guess it is just to steamy to tell
