Arrived about 11am. Breeze still out of the east but swinging around to west by noontime. More clouds and a little rain by 1pm.

Tried to setup up netbook and solar system but DC-DC power supply I had doesn’t seem to supply enough power, at least not enough to charge the netbook’s battery. Netbok sleeping – woke up.

Tried to install MD9 software to split data files automatically but cold not remember netbook’s password.

The field has been mowed (chopped) and plowed (ripped). Talked to Jim. The field still needs another pass of the plow but should be ready by early next week to have sensors reinstalled.

LGR pressure at 129Torr, cleaned 40um filter and adjusted bypass valve. TW LGR status:
11:12, 1.8531ppm, 13594ppm, 383.35ppm, 28.98C, 143.22Torr, 17.553usec

Frank arrived about 12:40. Helped him take down his tower and move it to test ponds.

Got another three-channel analyzer from Frank and went back to Sherman.
