Windy!
After I got the IMC back up (it had trouble locking itself so I touched MC2 pitch a little), the wind picked up speed. It has just reached 40 mph and the forecast says it should come down in 3 hours or so. I'm waiting for the wind to calm down before moving on. Hopefully I don't have to wait 3 hours...
Difficulty with DRMI
2:11 UTC After almost an hour not able to lock DRMI and PRMI, I decided to do the initial alignment (this was before I saw Patrick alog that he already did one last night). After the initial alignment the PRMI still wasn't able to lock itself. I had to touch BS, PRM, and PR2.
4:20 PRMI is good but I still can't get the DRMI to lock. I've been adjusting SRM pitch and yaw but no luck. Not sure what on earth is going on. POP18 and POP90 was flashing high so I know the PRMI was good.
ISC_DRMI CONNECTION ERROR
I called Jenne and was able to cleared the error easily. I just noticed that SR3_CAGE_SERVO wasn't engaged. Turned it on and DRMI is locked again.
