[Geysers] Geyser report August 19

[TSBryan at aol.com]

Briefly put, today's biggest news (to me, anyhow) is that Bronco Grigg 
reported seeing Green Spring (Black Sand Basin) in eruption at 09:50, with bursts as 
high as 10 feet.

Great Fountain very greatly beat the prediction, which was for 16:45. The 
geyser was well into eruption at 14:20.

I saw both Labial's Satellites in eruption at about 15:00. The East Satellite 
was splashing 5 to 6 feet high, the West Satellite jetting higher but very 
steamy.

Bead at 14:33, 15:02 and 15:32.

Fountain was operating on the short mode, eruptions at 08:28 and 12:07 giving 
an interval of 3h 39m. The second of those eruptions had a duration of a bit 
less than 26 minutes.

Jet did not play before Fountain. Its first was at 12:09 followed by 12:13, 
12:16, 12:19, 12:22, 12:25, 12:28, 12:30 and 12:33 (the last, only a minute or 
so after Fountain quit.

Sizzler started four minutes into Fountain and 2 minutes after the first Jet, 
at 12:11 and had a duration of approximately 22 minutes.

Clepsydra turned off at 12:14 (7 minutes into Fountai) and did not restart 
until 12:44, roughly 13 minutes after Fountain quit.

Twig did nothing at all during the entire time, and Spasm was very weak 
throughout.

Beehive at 07:05 (before my arrival), interval of 14h 59m.

Grand at 06:44 and then at 13:31 was d0/T3Q at interval 6h 47m.

Giant hot periods at 09:06 (d ~ 6 1/2 min), about 13:04 (d = 3m 15s) and (so 
I heard second hand) about 1500 (d evidently about 8 min). None was 
particularly strong.

The new thing across from Oblong still has not stopped.

And before all the above, I visited Morning Mist and Geyserlet (both active) 
and Culex Basin early enough to beat any bugs. At Culex, 2 small geysers, 1 
perpetual spouter and 1 intermittent spring were observed. Porcupine Hill Geyser 
has not erupted in a long time.
