[Geysers] Geyser report Monday August 15

[TSBryan at aol.com]

Since I've rather seldom of late been into the geyser basins as a gazer and  
there have been few other reports, I thought I'd provide a summary of some 
major  geysers. First though--
 
As of 1330 today, Fan and Mortar still had not erupted since last Monday  
morning (interval 7days 06 hours and counting).
 
This morning's Grotto (the 8th since the most recent marathon) was  preceeded 
by Startling Geyser, then 14 minutes later by Grotto Fountain. Grotto  was 
perfectly normal, starting 3 1/2 minutes after Grotto Fountain.
 
Plume woke up yesterday (Giantess effect?). Observed intervals were 4h 02m,  
2h 36m, 1h 10m, 1h 12m, 1h 16m, 1h 33m, and 1h 39m. However, evidently the 
only  eruption seen today (again, as of 1330) had been at 0711. So maybe it quit  
again?
 
In the following I'm giving only the basics, intervals (based entirely on  
logbook times) and little else from August 8 through (yes!) 1330 today.
 
BEEHIVE: 12h 48m, 18h 45m, 20h 39m, ~19h 53m, ~20h 22m, 13h 32m [with  
Giantess], 23h 27m, 24h 43m, 14h 16.
 
CASTLE (minor intervals in [brackets]): 12h 50m, 12h 40m minor, [9h 42m],  
13h 55m, <13h 03m (ie time), ~12h 25m minor, [3h 41m], 13h 49m, 12h 53m, 13h  
03m, 12h 27m, 13h 36m minor, [8h 42m], 13h 56m. Do note the length of two  of 
the three minor intervals!
 
GRAND: 6h 29m, 6h 20m, 6h 50m, 7h 00m, 6h 47m, 7h 16m, 9h 46m, 7h 09m,  6h 
31m, 8h 47m, 7h 18m, 6h 39m, 8h 03m, 7h 09m, 6h 19m (!), 6h 47m, 8h 38m, 7h  
31m; missing time, double interval 13h 52m; 6h 16m (!), 8h 33m, 6h 55m.
 
GREAT FOUNTAIN: 11h 26m, 11h 48m, 12h 30m, 13h 41m, 10h 02m, 10h 31m, 13h  
01m, 16h 47m. That last, confirmed by the electronics, is the last of this  
series, as somehow I failed to write down the times for August 13-14.
