Arrived about 10:30, warm, high thin cirrus clouds, light wind from west. Still a couple weeks from flooding rice. Rice will get herbicide and fertilizer before flooding.

Determined that the air conditioner and pump would not run together. Strange since they worked all winter but now not. So I pulled the AC and replaced it with three AC fans ~25W each blowing out of the box. Closed up box about 1pm with LGR reporting 29C. Returned an hour later and LGR reported 32C, so probably okay with continued cool weather. As soon as the rice is flooded we can get power from big generator.

Computer still not using serial, brought it in. All data still spooling to data logger flash memory.

LGR is up and running at Frank’s site.
