Was still foggy when I biked past the Lodge, but by the time I got out to Grand, the sun was mostly out. Caught a Turban eruption, which turned into a Turban Interval Delay. There was a boop from Grand around the 30 minute mark, and it took Turban another 4 minutes before it finally erupted. As with most Turban Interval Delays, the next Turban eruption had no overflow from Grand. After the 3rd Turban eruption, Grand quickly filled, and started looking good around the 12 minute mark. The pool didn't really start having waves until moments before the One Burst Eruption started.

Afterwards, decided to put the nice weather to some use, and went down basin for the first time (excepting last evening's Fan & Mortar excursion.) Got to Grotto where the Pressure Pool was full, and Grotto Fountain was having a nice boil. That boil quickly built into a full eruption. Grotto started only three minutes later, and Grotto Fountain never really looked tall while it was erupting.
Sky to the north was black as I headed out for the next Grand. The weather radar showed a storm passing to the north, but I expected we would at least get wet from the edges. Once again, only had to wait one Turban Delay Interval, but this time we got another One Burst Grand eruption. Ten minutes in it had a nice false pause before continuing for another minute. By then, the rain was nearly upon us, and we managed to get back before it really started.
