We spent time yesterday afternoon working on tooling (planing veins, stoning barrels, etc.) with John's help. We re-worked all six drills and felt ready to start Wednesday with some chance for success.

Wednesday started with the usual checks, blow-outs, etc. Mark Layne and Zack were in-chamber, Mick was outside, and Carolyn was recorder. We started with "5 of 6" and cleaned 15 sections today, bringing the total sections cleaned to 33 or 37.5 %(BSC = 88 sections). "5 of 6" now has a cumulative run time of 4+ hours. Drill 6 was tried  but only ran for 3 minutes. Mark and Zack moved the compressor trailer out of the LEA in preparation for the BSC ISI tomorrow morning. 

Twelve new drills arrived today. Mark and Mick will start cleaning them tomorrow using the newly written procedure as a guide.
