As part of teardown, we took a core sample yesterday 21 June, at 3pm:

Tin: 21.21g (tin #2)

Wet: 98.24g

We set up the sample for 1–4 cm depth

We'll bring the sample back to Boulder tomorrow for the dry weighing.

We couldn't figure out how to log into the "d" DSM using our phones.  We did reconnect it (with a mote) and ran it for about 30min off the battery backup, so there should be a tiny bit of data on d's USB stick.  If for some reason this didn't work (we couldn't monitor it), we could just use the reading from the day before when the DSM was running normally.

    Dry weight (done back in Boulder) was 83.4g.  I'll make a Google form now.

    Well...Gary dumped the last files on the "d" DSM, but I don't see any Qsoil readings.  There were some Tsoil and TP sensors recorded on the first file on 6/21 (in a bad format), and no mote data at all on the second file.  I'm confused, because I deliberately didn't connect Tsoil cables to this mote and I am sure that I pressed the white button to rescan the I2C sensors.  Oh well...

    The last value recorded the previous day at 16:34 (presumably UTC) was 0.213.  At 1500 local the day before, the reading was 0.241 and the day before that 0.255.  Extrapolating to 1500 on 6/21, the reading should have been 0.241 - (0.255-0.241)*2 = 0.213, which is already higher.  I'd just use 0.20.
