Kuno and I arrived at about 10:05 PST - I thought we were way ahead of schedule until I realized this is the first visit since returning to daylight savings time! It was clear, sunny and warm. The grass is beginning to keep up with the cows and looks very green. The trees have started to put on leaves. But, there is another round of cold and wet weather due to start tomorrow. The water hole is full and there are still some small puddles on the road.

There was a giant bull guarding the path to the well. Kuno decide not to go head to head and snuck around to get the well reading. The well was 54.4ft

I did the standard data collection, flux, met, camera and FD data. All looked well
The 7500 read: 425.7ppm CO2, 362.7mmol/m3 H2O, 18.8C, 99.0kPa, 99.7SS

I removed FD chamber sn FD20180026 to take to Tonzi to replace the one there that was dead last time.

I cleaned the radiometers and did spectra measurements.

We left at about 10:45 PST
