Constants pool is being filled by 5 small erupters that seem to run along a line to the north east (up toward the Graceful area) Attempts @ 1007, 1025, 1042, 1058, 1116 made 2 good attempts at erupting but again failed, 1133, 1150, 1210 erupted! 1225, 1243.
11765 13 Jun 2019 @ 0840 13 Jun 2019 @ 1005 CrisG no eruptions during this period. very steamy morning, so difficult to see pool. Arrived to a full pool. I did not notice any pool crashes based on rock coverage, but unable to see convection/bubbling until right before eruption.
11768 12 Jun 2019 @ 1130 12 Jun 2019 @ 1242 CrisG No eruptions during this time (3rd burst of previous eruption was at 1230). Left for Steamboat!

8173 12 May 2018 @ 1024 12 May 2018 @ 1535 srboom Pool would fill and try to erupt about every twenty minutes for the entirety of the time I was there, but no eruptions were observed. The try at 1327 looked really promising, but no go. There appears to be a fair amount of water flowing in from another source.
8097 07 May 2018 @ 1047 07 May 2018 @ 1436 cb Did not erupt while I was there. It did have 2 nice boils that each lasted for 6 minutes and were 90 minutes apart.

3871 06 Nov 2016 @ 1314 06 Nov 2016 @ 1508 srboom pool filled and drained, with attempts at eruptions about every 20 minutes. big blurble at 14:26, but no eruption.

3804 23 Oct 2016 @ 1314 --- DanS Trying to erupt, with full pool bubbles and small bursts from 1314 - 1320

2856 19 May 2016 @ 0955 19 May 2016 @ 0957 MAB Serious boiling for 2 minutes with no eruption, continuing as pool lowered and you could tell it was a No-Go. Way bigger activity than the usually observed "push with no eruption".
2606 01 Nov 2015 @ 0930 01 Nov 2015 @ 1320 MAB Regular cycles with no eruption, 0938 1007 1039 1112 1310. No other eruptions or attempts seen.
2593 31 Oct 2015 @ 1010 --- MAB good try, good push, but no eruption 1010
1501 13 Jan 2015 @ 1600 --- MAB Inactive- the runoff 'shelf' where we watch first overflow when Constant refills prior to a normal eruption is green.
1486 02 Nov 2014 @ 0000 02 Nov 2014 @ 2359 MAB Both Constant and Whirligig have lots of water coming into them from above, since late Sept. Both were looking a little 'colloidal blue' in the centers of their craters. I wish I had another few weeks to watch what happens.
1462 21 Oct 2014 @ 1240 21 Oct 2014 @ 1717 MAB Cycles with no eruptions at regular intervals 1240-1400, and 1514-1717
1429 30 Sep 2014 @ 1200 30 Sep 2014 @ 1800 MAB Regular cycles from 15-20 minutes with overflow, pushes or attempts at bursts less than 12", but no airborne eruptions seen. Observed 3+ hours in the morning, and separate 1 hour visits in the afternoon with no eruptions.  
1047 20 Apr 2014 @ 0000 20 Apr 2014 @ 2359 MAB Opening Weekend saw no eruptions of Constant Geyser.  It cycles as it has in the past at regular intervals (less than 20 min) but does not erupt.  Per the YVO graphs this change occurred on April 8, 2014.  I did not know how to interpret the drastic change in the shape of the YVO graph until I was able to observe the cycles in person.  Some of them look quite promising with good blurps and overflow, but no eruptions were seen during the time it was observed.
879 29 Sep 2013 @ 0000 29 Sep 2013 @ 2359 MAB Constant was cycling as usual today at about 19 minutes. The winds were nasty both there and at Vixen, I did not see a full eruption of Constant, but the cycles are holding. 3 pushes with no eruption, exit, return and one push, then I left.
373 31 Jul 2012 @ 1735 31 Jul 2012 @ 1850 MAB Tuesday 31 July - regular pushes at 1735, 1755, 1813, 1832, and 1850, but no true eruptions seen in that time frame
374 21 Jul 2012 @ 1639 21 Jul 2012 @ 1934 MAB Push with no eruption 3 out of 9 intervals (1639, 1819, and 1934)
77 14 Jan 2012 @ 1845 --- Graham Water came up, then went down without erupting.
4725 19 Jul 1999 @ 1800 --- research-mab 07/19/1999 Constant “constantly” every 15-20 min
5381 01 Feb 1995 @ 1800 --- research-mab 2/1/95 It seems the disturbance activity is basin wide! .... Constant was seen to have a 3 burst series followed by a 4 burst series and a 4 burst series.
4711 06 Jul 1990 @ 1800 --- research-mab 7/6/1990 Constant, Big Whirligig and Fireball all very active today.
7641 26 Jun 1986 @ 1800 --- research-mab 6-26-1986 Constant Geyser – Erupting at irregular & possibly cyclic intervals in spite of heavy inflow of water from northeast side. Water is moderately opalescent blue & algae lines the eastern 1/3 f the geyser’s basin. T=144º
5132 01 Jun 1980 @ 1800 --- research-mab 06/01/1980 Constant Geyser – beautiful green algae, no evidence of recent activity, 124ºF
4991 22 Sep 1979 @ 1800 --- research-mab 09/22/1979 I have not seen Constant erupt since the disturbance. It gently boiled for about a minute and a half this afternoon.
5062 24 Aug 1979 @ 1800 --- research-mab 08/24/1979 Constant Geyser had 2 eruptions within 5 minutes. {no times but indicating multiple burst eruptions-mab}
5056 08 Aug 1979 @ 1047 --- research-mab 08/08/1979 At 1047 Constant boiled and well up as it does prior to erupting, but did not erupt.
