Comments:Observed a 20' concerted minor around 20:30 with wide output, otherwise no significant activity prior to eruption. At 22:05 transition to steam. 22:14 back to water. 22:22 to steam. 22:27 to water. 22:35 to steam. Began to pause and resart after 2 hours and 40 minutes! Mixed water out of both vents would give way to a heavy steam takeover in SV turning NV off. After 10-15 seconds one or both vents would take off again often to 100-150ft. Observed 3 SV solo eruptions where it started to 40-50ft but NV did not play. pauses 23:18, 23:20, 23:21, 23:25, 23:26, 23:29, 23:30, 23:35, 23:36, 23:38, 23:42, 23:45, 23:46, 00:14 solo SV and then NV restart. 00:17 pause and failed resart before resart at 00:17, 00:18, 00;22, 00:24, 00:26, 00:33 pause and failed resart before resart at 00:33, 00:34, 00:36 pause and failed resart before resart at 00:36, 00:40 South solo for 15-20sec., 00:42 pause and failed resart before resart at 00:42, 00:44, 00:45, 00:46, 00:48, 00:49, 00:50. 01:00.

l think it is noteworthy that l noticed the SV runoff channel turning white on Tuesday afternoon. CB said she noticed it earlier and by Wednesday, it had become much whiter.
