Summary: Standard data collection, still working on cleaning up soil sensors and adding conduit.

I arrived at about 15:20 PDT. It was clear, dry and hot. Conditions are about the same as last time. No rain in the forecast. The pond was about as low as I’ve seen it.

The well level sensor is not working well. I think there is a break near the bottom.

I collected the flux, met, camera and FD data. All seemed well. The 7500 SS is high 112.

I brought some more conduit from Tonzi and continued working on the soil sensors. I pulled up the two board walks in front of the met tower and found the last Theta probe just west of the met Tower. I unwired the Theta probes one at a time and put them all in conduit. There’s still a bunch of power and data lines running between the solar panels, the soil sensor box, the met tower and the eddy tower that should be cleaned up and put in conduit. The new SoilVue cables should go in conduit too. I will need at least one more piece of larger conduit and maybe another piece of the smaller one.

I went to the pond. The water was a little muddy like the cows had just been there to drink. I fixed the conduit again.

I left at about 17:00 PDT.
