A short note here, primarily leaving it for others to post a list of times. 
Suffice to say that today was extremely windy. That led to Daisy having 
intervals of about 3 hours. But "on time" we got Grand, Beehive, Riverside. Spa 
was active during a Grotto marathon. Castle had a major. Saw Uncertain. A 
long series by Lion.
 
After some number of Morning Thiefs, Fountain erupted at 0851. I wasn't 
there, but I think those who were said the duration was just 32 minutes.
 
In the Lower Basin as I departed I found Gemini empty and dry. The 
bacterial areas in the runoffs were drying, too. Did Gemini erupt? Don't know, for 
as I sat there for about an hour it repeatedly filled, then dropped. Finally 
filled completely and just sat there with no bubbling. So I left.
 
As I left, I saw a "new" geyser out in the Tangled Creek Group area. I've 
never seen it before. It was on the far left of the group, rising from near 
the right side of the most distant area of bare ground. Way out there, the 
steady, pulsing jet easily reached halfway up the background trees, leading me 
to think the height was 20 feet or so. From the time I first saw the 
eruption (1322ie) the duration was 8 1/2 minutes. As the play went along, the 
height gradually dropped until it was not more than 3 or 4 feet high, but then 
it surged up to near 20 feet again before rapidly dying down and fully 
quitting. Very nice geyser. I would appreciate any future reports of this activity.
 
While I was at White Dome/Gemini, Cathy Bell installed a new monitor on 
Great Fountain.
 
Hoping for less wind tomorrow.
