Rick holds down the fort in the morning -- Antonio, Chenning, and Jielun make science outreach presentations to three classrooms at the Tonopah middle school.

Rick and Bruce (lastname?) handle the morning sounding:

ISS 1&2 plots updating. ISS 1&2 Nagios looks good, with exception of the backup task that has been flagging for a number of days now. The new disk Gary sent out had been attached several days ago and a manual backup successfully performed. I need to talk with Gary more about how to clear this alert.  Walked the ISS line outside and visually inspected everything – nothing out of the ordinary.

Antonio, Chenning, Jielun arrive at the site around noon. By all accounts, their presentations were well received and successful.

A Nagios alert on ISS1 appears later in the afternoon:  Rick was poking around the data looking for the soundings datasets, and must have provoked the alert on an old SWEX file in /data/iss/m2hats...../soudings/rawdata/.../messages.  Not sure what the alert is about. Will monitor to see whether it clears.

Antonio and Rick on the afternoon sounding. Antonio squashes viscous rumors that were spread at dinner last night about a shortage of balloons, by identifying several boxes of balloons in the container.

Overall, pretty quiet day in paradise.
