[Geysers] Geyser report April 22

[TSBryan at aol.com]

So now I'm alone, just me and the bears. Apparently, anyhow, as all other  
known gazers departed today, noonish. I'll try to accurately report all the  
huge and unusual eruptions I see in the next few days. Today, though, not much  
and nothing unusual.
 
Grotto finally had a short eruption. At 0749 there was a Giant hot period  (d 
~ 7m 20s) that involved little from Mastiff. Grotto turned off at about 0810. 
 The next GHP didn't happen until 1121, with a duration of 3m 52s; there 
again  was little from Mastiff. Grotto had not restarted when I last looked that 
way at  about 1245.
 
Aretmisia was 1019 ns (steam), so probably an interval just short of 24  
hours.
 
Oblong was at 0832 and had a really good overflow at about 1130, so it  
appears to be holding to relatively short intervals.
 
Grand was at 2324E last night, then 0910 this morning (T2Q), interval 9h  
46m. The start of this caught us off-guard, as it didn't begin until fully 2 1/2  
minutes after Turban. West Triplet started (after two or three aborted tries) 
 shortly after Grand ended, and Rift later joined in.
 
Castle at 0938, an interval of 13h 05m from last night. It has not yet had  a 
minor since opening.
 
No change at Beehive. Only heard one called Plume, that at 0844.  Aurum 
called at 0846. Lion evidently erupted while we were waiting for that  second GHP, 
as around noon it was having a series of dry roars that never  produced 
another eruption. I think this was probably a series of one, just the  initial, as I 
had been on Geyser Hill just before going down to Giant.
 
I save for last this, the record on Daisy from the logbook -- 16  consecutive 
intervals from 1247 on April 20 to 0942 on April 22. All the times  were 
electronic, except the first and last. The intervals in order (h:mm): 3:10,  3:26, 
2:36, 3:02, 3:52, 3:40, 2:14, 2:29, 2:20, 2:19, 2:29, 2:29, 2:19, 2:35,  
2:28, 2:27.
