23:00 IFO has been locking. The operation mode is OBSERVING. We're hoping for a record breaking today (I was told that the longest lock we had was 20 hours during ER7).
Craig, Kiwamu, Darkhan, Sudarshan doing calibration work, Robert doing PEM injections.
23:59 Robert picking things up in LVEA, then go to EY to do more injections.
Intent bit switched to Commissioning.
01:30 Robert back.
03:00 Robert done for tonight. Dan and Evan working on PZT. Intent bit remains Commissioning.
04:36 Go back to Observing.
05:01 Wind picking up speed. A wind gust just reached 40 mph but seems to be coming down quickly.
05:44 THE INTERFEROMETER HAS STAYED LOCKED FOR 24 HOURS and is continuing to do so!
07:00 Hand over to Patrick.
The ifo dropped lock at 7:13 UTC due to a 5.6M earthquake in Alaska. A new lock stretch record is set at 25 hours 30 minutes =D
