<DIV>Not a whole lot of excitement today. No doubt the biggest news is that the
Grotto marathon that started yesterday at 0952 was still going as of 1207 today
-- 26+ hours and showing no signes of quitting. This would seem to set Giant up
for a likely middle-of-the-night recovery (though at only 4 1/2 days).</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Yesterday Grand was at 0108E, 1003 (T2*Q), and 1647 (T2Q). I unfortunately
never heard an electronic time for the overnight, but this morning Grand was at
0642 (2 bursts).</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Beehive had a short interval, 20h 56m. The eruption started 7 minutes after
the time when the Indicator was seen i.e.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>We sincerely hope Plume erupted between the sightings of 0725 and 1133, but
nobody seemed to have seen it.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I caught a single Daisy interval, 3h 07m.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>In the Lower Basin, I got the start of Pink Cone on the drive in, at
0651</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>On the drive out, I overheard on the radio that Fountain had started at
1158 and had a duration of 35 minutes.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Narcissus was at 1258 and was a long duration eruption (d > 11
min).</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>For some other news, the word is out that the demolition of the old OFVC
will begin on Monday, September 18. It will be done in-house, by NPS maintenance
crews. This will eliminate one big expense from the new OFVEC cost. Even before
then, at the end of next week, NPS people will meet with the architect to
"tweak" the new building plan so as to further reduce costs. And then, hopefully
still "before the snow flies," the project will again go to bid.</DIV>
