[Geysers] Geyser report May 22

[TSBryan at aol.com]

Today, Monday, May 22:
 
I saw Little Squirt for the first time this season, ie at 1213.
 
Beehive had an interval yesterday to today of 20h 23m. This "short"  interval 
fits with the "here and there through the day" eruption times seen  recently.
 
Plume had intervals of 60 and (only) 52 minutes.
 
This morning's grand eruption was 1 burst.
 
Down at the Giant end of the basin, there seemed to be a _lot_ of available  
heat and water today. Despite strong (at times, howling) winds, Daisy had a  
below-average interval of just 2h 53m; Oblong was short at 4h 02m; even  
Riverside was short at 5h 48m. And even while Bijou was jetting very strongly,  
there was boiling bursting (not depth-charging) in Mastiff between hot periods.  
Yes, this at barely 1 1/2 days after yesterday morning's eruption. Grotto was  
evidently coming out of a marathon -- at 0745 it was and had been off -- but 
the  first action other than protracted boiling in Grotto Fountain, was an 
eruption  by Startling Geyser at 1330. Grotto Fountain came on at 1341 and Grotto 
at  1346.
 
Giant hot periods were at 0959 (weak, d=4m 11s), and 1205 (i.e. and  
apparently stronger as there was depth-charging in Mastiff). At about 1340,  while 
"everybody" was watching Grotto, there was some sort of event, probably a  really 
good bathtub -- dry platform but that splashing in Mastiff and a  
super-strong Bijou as of 1350.
 
And then I had to leave.
