[Geysers] Geyser Report 15 June 2009

[Ben Hoppe]

Not too much to report today (June 15).

Plume's intervals were generally right around 60 plus or minus a couple minutes.
Beehive erupted again tonight at 2108 with the Indicator preceding it
at 2057. The interval was 14 hours and 31 minutes if my math is
correct.
After Grand's T3Q eruption at 1240, it had a T1C at 2145.
Oblong had another fairly "short" interval today. There was an
eruption at 1640, and I just barely missed the 2152 eruption (i=5h12m)
thanks to Grand.
Grotto was 2125ie.

I sat at Fan and Mortar for nearly three hours today with a 2 hour
break in there for going to Great Fountain. It didn't appear to be in
garbage when I first got there at 1305 to find River, Gold, and High
all on. I didn't see anything from Angle until 1309. But I think I was
sitting on the Angle button all day today. Angle never shut off, and
there were never any significant time periods where Angle was off.
When I returned from Great Fountain, the story was the same as it had
been. The off periods for River were not more than 10 minutes at point
tonight. The only notable thing today at Fan and Mortar was that there
were a couple decent Link minors...


Just a side note, and this is merely a note, an observation if you
will. It seems to me that in the last couple days Bijou has not been
as strong as much of the time. Granted, I have not spent much time in
the cage this year even after a marathon at Grotto, but whenever I
have taken the time to note what Bijou was doing, it was erupting and
erupting with force. Beginning with yesterday afternoon's Grand
eruption. I looked at Tara and asked if she thought Bijou was pausing
because it seemed quiet. I got just past the Grand benches on the way
to the cage when I saw water. I have noticed a couple times what seem
like Bijou pauses. Perhaps my timing has just simply been better, but
there are definite times when Bijou is off for a very small (less than
a minute) amount of time. Tonight I noticed the same thing while
making the run from Fan and Mortar to Grand. Just as I was walking
into the cage, there was more water. I will hopefully have an hour or
more to spare tomorrow (Tuesday) for sitting and observing so I can
elaborate on this note/observation. Just a reminder, this is just a
side note that I thought would interest some... maybe.
