<DIV>Gazers now present include Warren and Pat Hoppe, Jeff Cross, Darrel and Ann
Scharf... and I think that's all.</DIV>

<DIV>The Grotto marathon reported yesterday had, in fact, started in the
afternoon of Monday, 9/25. It ended sometime between 1300 and 1345 yesterday,
for a duration of roughly 22 hours. The recovery hot period, as reported by
Warren Hoppe, began at 2231 (yep, about 9 hours after Grotto ended), but it
evidently was rather weak with minimal Mastiff activity. And there was no
eruption.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>This morning, Grotto was i.e. at 0720, and quit at about 0810. I just
missed some sort of weak hot period at around 0720 (I got to the cage at 0732).
That was followed by a low bathtub at 0826, a slightly higher bathtub at 0958,
and finally a hot period at 1145 (not strong, Mastiff mostly below overflow,
duration about 5 1/2 minutes). During this time, we remarked that the system
seemed to be lacking water and, indeed, I cannot remember ever seeing The GIP so
low except after an eruption. I mean, way down in.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Other stuff included:</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Grand was at 0753, a -2Q.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I caught Uncertain on my first walk out, at 0718; by watching it,
I might have missed seeing some of that early hot period.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I saw a Tilt's Baby that did not include the strong jetting, at 1208, which
is why I didn't see the start of Daisy about then.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Daisy was at 0904 and 1209ie.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>There was an Oblong at 0947.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I think Plume was ie at 1018, and I know it erupted at 1112 and 1221.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>The only eruptions I saw along Firehole Lake Drive today were Logbridge and
Botryoidal. I never did see Fountain.</DIV>

<DIV>De-construction of the old OFVC now involves large dumpster-like things
filled with insulation batting, broken wallboard, etc.</DIV>
