[Geysers] Geyser report September 19

[TSBryan at aol.com]

With things to do in town, only a short time in the park today.
 
Plume had one interval of 61 minutes.
 
Beehive is back on a daytime schedule. After yesterday's 0917 eruption,  
today it played at 1035 (Indicator 16 minutes).
 
Lion had a series of two eruptions on a very short interval of about 66  
minutes. I saw neither, but people say both the 0759 and 1005ie eruptions were  
full eruptions, not minors.
 
Grand was last night at 2304E, then today at 0542E (6h 38m).
 
Castle was 0213E. Though reported as a major eruption, Castle was having  
heavy splashes at least as early as 0630 and all through the morning -- it acted  
like it had had a minor, but it had not yet erupted in any fashion as of  
1100.
 
Daisy was 0759ie and 1019ie.
 
Grotto yesterday and last night was all normal eruptions. This morning it  
was off early. In anticipation of Grotto Fountain, Steve Eide and I experienced  
a Central Vent dealy at about 0915, then another delay that involved both  
Central Vents and a full force Startling (0943, d ~ 3 1/2 minutes), and then  
(Steve gone by then) Grotto Fountain at 1003 quickly followed by Grotto at  1004.
 
Giant Group clearly had a bathtub at about 0805, a weak hot period at about  
0900 (not seen due to a grumpy bison between Grotto and GIP), and a so-so hot  
period at 1000 (d = 3m 40s, Mastiff with good overflow and some surging 1 to 
3  feet near the start).
 
Barbara Lasseter saw Fountain ie at 0840.
