[Geysers] Geyser report August 30

[TSBryan at aol.com]

I have not so far seen that Fan and Mortar erupted overnight, 
Saturday-Sunday, August 28-29. That makes 2 nighttime eruptions in a row, this one on an 
interval of about 3 days.

Beehive on August 23 WAS an interval of 23h 08m, and with no Indicator, too.I 
don't know what is going on, but Beehive is definitely doing something 
cyclical. I'd said publically that it would have a longer interval around August 22. 
Following that on the 23rd and up to this afternoon, the intervals were 
(hh:mm): 17:13, 16:41, 19:56, 21:49, 22:08, 17:09, 13:04, 16:39, 15:51, and 13:33. 
So it took it a bit, but it came back down to "normal." Next long-interval 
episode (hoo-boy) on or about September 21. If it doesn't happen, then you did 
not hear it here.

Daisy today with almost no wind had consecutive intervals of 3h 21m and 3h 
31m. Sheesh, because yesterday with some wind there was an interval of "just" 2h 
10m.

Grand today from 06:34E to 14:29 (T1Q) was an interval of 7h 55m.

Lion had a series of 5 eruptions. #4 was admittedly short (d < 1 min) but was 
of full height, followed by a full eruption #5 only 29 minutes later.

Giant Hot Periods at 07:51, d = 8m 10s and India baout 98% covered but 
minimal surging in Mastiff and essentially nothing at all in Giant. Then at 
approximately 11:50, d ~ 4 min and apparently weak throughout.

Baby Daisy was reported two times.

Great Fountain is no longer being predicted. When here, ask about the 
letter-to-the Representative business. Ridiculous.

Many thanks to Lynn for arranging the ice cream and cake social after this 
afternoon's Grand. Fun, with 20-plus gazers there.

P.S. In response to some of this afternoon's discussion -- it is in Marler's 
Inventory that a "small sedan" went into Sprite Spring in 1949.
