Staff: Antonio and Rick. Chenning and Bruce present most of the day. Josh arrived in Las Vegas 3 hours ahead of his luggage, and got out to Tonopah late afternoon.
Very quiet day on the ISFS front. Plots coming in, QCharts look good. Nagios complaining about disk space on t0t as usual - one more day to hang on. Batteries at tt look good after yesterday's swap-out and repositioning of the solar panel.
A few glitches on the ISF side: the sounding system module (SPS?) decided to have a temper-tantrum and refused to initialize a sonde. After a stint in time-out (power cycle), it behaved properly. Likewise the laptop running the remote desktops into the lidars decided to log itself out, for mysterious reasons, so we restarted those processes.
Antonio and Rick on the morning and afternoon soundings.
Antonio and Rick go out to the towers and apply peppermint oil to the battery coolers in an attempt to convince the unwanted guests out there that they really are unwanted. We'll see if they get the message.
Rick's last day on site: he reflects misty-eyed about the experience and almost wishes he could be around for tear-down. That passes in about 785 milliseconds.
