[Geysers] Geyser report May 13

[TSBryan at aol.com]

This is a rather short report because I divided practically all of my time  
between two places.
 
Giant did not erupt. The Grotto marathon reported on yesterday continued  
until at least 2215 last night, giving a duration of 27+ hours. When it quit in  
the night is not known, but Variably Spring was completely recovered by 0800.  
Nevertheless, the recovery hot period did not take place until 1448. I was  
elsewhere (see below), but I am told that during the first 2 minutes or so,  
Mastiff sureged up to about 8 feet. But then it died and was flat to weak for  
the remainder of the 10-minute duration.
 
"Tour Guide Brad" (which I think must be Brad Barth, a very knowledgable  
person) reported a Fountain-Morning dual eruption, 1000ie. So I abandoned the  
hot period sit to go check. Yes, I think Morning might well have erupted, though 
 I cannot say so 100%. But a rather wet runoo channel extended out of sight 
down  the hill to the east of Morning, Jelly erupted one time that I saw from a 
low  pool of ugly brown-green, foamy water, and Jet was having intervals 
ranging  between 3 and 12 minutes. This observation began about 3 1/2 hours after 
the  reported eruption. So something happened.
 
Other items:
 
Grand was 0514E, then not again until 1507. And that was a 1 burst eruption  
with a duration, I'm told, of "exactly 9m 00s".
 
Daisy 0734E and 1044.
 
Depression at 0728ie seemed to fit the apparent 21-hour (+ or-) intervals  
we've been seeing -- until John said he saw an empty crater near dark last  
night.
 
Guess that's it for today!
