Sherman Barn
2020-06-16

I arrived at 9:30. It was clear, sunny and warm with a typical west wind. There is lots of wetland construction nearby. The air was filled with diesel exhaust and dust. Tyler was there just finishing up checking on the chambers â€“ heâ€™s ready to be done with the site.

The HMP had fallen out of the solar shield. I put it back but noticed that the fan wasnâ€™t working. I tried to fix the fan but broke another wire. This needs replacing before we give the tower to Steve and Sabina. We also need to think about some of the other components: old AM16/32 most of the low channels not good, make sure the Licor are DWR units and not UCB units, other ?

The 7500 read: 404.1ppm CO2, 571.4mmol/m3 H2O, 19.9C, 101.7kPa, 97.8SS â€“ 101.6 after cleaning
The 7700 read: 1.9ppm CH4, 20.2SS â€“ 80.6 after cleaning
The wash reservoir was nearly full â€“ strange with low RSSI. I tested the wash and spin, all seemed well.

I brought in the game camera as there are no cows and this site will not run much longer.

I left at 10:14
