I arrived with Siyan about 10:30. The pond is about as full as I’ve seen it. The low spots were soggy. A bunch of young cows around. The grass is green but some of it looks gray or brown like it got frosted. No leaves on trees yet.

I tried to connect the Floor flux system to the Tower. I removed the MD9 base unit from the Floor system and moved it to the soil moisture box near the Tower. There I disconnected the line to the Tower and put the base unit on that end. I removed remote unit #2 from the box where the soil temperature AM25T is and move it to the Floor in place of where the base unit was. I was able to connect to the MD9 network with the laptop, but could not connect with the Tower computer. It may be that I need more than three pins for the RS232 connection. I left things as they were and will test MD9 units in the lab. Also it might not be possible to connect a CR1000 to a MD9 network.

The soil co2 system was not connecting over the wireless units. I restarted the units, the data logger and the tower computer with no success. I remove sn 21520 from the soil co2 box and sn 21519 from the Tower computer box and brought the units into the lab for testing. I was hoping to use them at Vaira for the pond and connect the TZ soil co2 system with the MD9 network.

Zcam #3 near the Floor tower had fallen over due to its wooden stake rotting. I pounded in a small metal fence post and strapped the wooded stake to it.

I fixed a broken wire on the soil co2 fence.

The ground IRT sensor was knocked out of its mount. I remounted it. The tree IRT sensor looks a little off center – I will need a latter to adjust it. The tree has a bunch of mistletoe in it.
