[Geysers] Geyser report September 8

[TSBryan at aol.com]

Although in the park for quite a while today, part of that was wasted at  
Norris. Really. Steamboat was putting out a lot of water but all jets I saw were  
weak, none truely concerted, and none as high as the top of the background  
trees. Rumors of a disturbance seem unfounded unless it is extremely localized  
in the neighborhood of Orby, which is very muddy. But otherwise, all seemed  
normal... meaning, not much.
 
In the UGB, Plume has improved to intervals of a little more than one hour  
-- intervals I know from today were 64 and 77 minutes.
 
The "warning" given by Beehive's "West Bubbler," now apparently becoming  
known as the "Blurbler," has shortened considerable. Just 18 minutes (I think it  
was) today brom Bubbler to Indicator.
 
Just saw Ralph's post about Silex. Add to the list todays (9/8) activity in  
the early daylight. I didn't get the time, but I'm told David Leeking saw it,  
somebody else saw the crater empty at about 0730, and I saw the crater not 
quite  full with murky blue water at about 0930. This interval therefore a few 
hours  less than 2 days only. The downside is that these episodes are 
apparently  consisting of only one (the initial) major followed by a series of minors 
of  decreasing force as the crater refills.
