I arrived with Dennis and Jaclyn about 1pm after setting up the new Mayberry tower. Hot, sunny with a few high clouds and almost no wind. The field looks browner, but the west end was much wetter as viewed from the bridge. There was standing water and the ditches were wet. The cows were closer to the tower, probably avoiding the soggy west end.

Systems are running okay. We are not running an LGR here right now. I could not connect to the fast radiation CR10x but it had transferred data to the PC earlier in the day. It had power and there were some earwigs in the box, but seemed okay. I copied data and showed Dennis how to swap the card on the CR1000. It maybe took too long to get the card punched out as the files needed to be repaired.

Dennis pulled the water pressure sensor for a checkup in the lab before being redeployed at the new Mayberry site.
