[Geysers] Brief geyser report August 16

[TSBryan at aol.com]

To simply note that as of 1300 today, still no Fan and Mortar, so 8 days+  
and counting. Event cycles for the past several days have consisted of splashing 
 in Main Vent, but usually only for very short times, and rather infrequent  
Bottom Vent eruptions that typically last only 2 minutes or so (and  usually 
are too brief and weak to qualify as full eruptions). Per  Steve Robinson (he 
thinks) there has been no River Vent pause in four  days.
 
Yesterday I noted that Plume had been seen at 0711 and not after that. I am  
corrected with additional eruptions at 1021 (interval 3h 10m) and 1227 
(interval  2h 06m). However, Plume has NOT been seen since then.
 
Beehive today was at 1152, Indicator of 16 minutes.
 
This morning's marathon recovery Giant Hot Period, at 1207, had a duration  
of 9m 20s with only moderate Mastiff overflow and no big surges.
 
I was the only gazer present for Great Fountain (1415, P=0), whose biggest  
jets were at the start of the 2nd burst and reached perhaps 80 feet high.
