[Geysers] Geyser report August 29

[TSBryan at aol.com]

Actually, I was in for a while yesterday, August 28, but saw little worthy  
of rerporting. Plume was running a bit long, with intervals of 72 and 78  
minutes. Daisy had an interval of 2h 18m.. For those who like little things, the  
geyser in Serendipity Meadow is doing nice stuff, erupting about every 30 to 40 
 seconds, for durations of 15 to 25 seconds, and splashing fully 2 feet  high.
 
Today, August 29, probably the highlight (for me, anyhow) was that on the  
drive in I saw Fungoid Spring, a.k.a. Thud Geyser, in full eruption, i.e. at  
0643. The height was probably 10 feet, though through the fog it was difficult  
to tell for sure. Interestingly, this afternoon it looked like its perfectly  
normal, quiet self.
 
Fountain was i.e. at 0648 -- and actually, probably at 0640. On site, again  
in fog, I saw Jet, Twig, Sizzler, Spasm (only a foot or so), and Morning's 
Thief  (one eruption to around 10 feet). A short while later I caught both Pink 
Cone  and Pink in eruption at 0707. I think Lynn later said that Pick Cone was 
0701  and Pink 0706, but I'm not certain of those times.
 
In the UGB, Plume had intervals of 57, 61 and a double of 119  minutes.
 
Beehive had a short interval of 20h 37m, erupting at 1126 with an Indicator  
of just 6 minutes.
 
At 1138, we were treated -- yes -- to a gorgeous 3-burst Grand (T3Q). The  
third burst was the biggest and really fine. This was an interval of 8h  27m.
 
With gazers taking a Giant holiday, there were no consistent (if any) UGB  
observations until after 0800, so we don't know when Grotto started, but it  
was/is another long eruption, i.e. at 0830 and still going as of 1230.  Bijou 
died off around 0930, so I'm guessing Grotto probably started  somewhere in the 
vicinity of 0500-0530.
