I knew that Rift was erupting before I headed out in the morning.
Based on the strength of the overflow from Grand, the amount of time before Turban erupted after my arrival, and the long duration of the Turban eruption, I believe that was a Turban Delay interval. The next Turban eruption had no overflow, which fits. The Rift eruption ended shortly after the Delay Turban eruption.
The fourth Turban eruption after the delay wasn't all that powerful at the start, but slowly increase in power as the water level and overflow amounts in Grand increased. It took almost 2-1/2 minutes for Grand to finally start the One Burst Eruption.

The call for the Indicator was for it in eruption. Despite this, I managed to get to Sulphide for the start of Beehive.
Them, before the rains, I went out to check on Daisy. Recently it seems that I've been seeing intervals well over two hours long, but this one was well under. The duration of the eruption was also nicely long, at 3m47s.
Managed to get out to Grand during a lull in the showers. I was there almost twenty minutes before Turban finally erupted. As with this morning, all the indications were that we had a Turban Delay interval. West Triplet also started to erupt shortly before Turban's start.
As with most Turban Delay intervals, there was now a series of undistinguished Turban eruptions. On the fifth, it looked for a while like Grand was going to try and erupt, but it dropped as Turban started.
It was the sixth Turban eruption where Grand filled, and then like this morning, it took a long time for Grand to finally start. With an abrupt end at just over eight minutes, it looked almost certain for a second burst. Even with all the steam, it could be seen that there was no attempt at a third burst, even though the eruption duration was only 9-1/2 minutes.

That's when the rains started again, insuring a wet bike ride back to the cabin.
