 Shift Summary & Observations:

- Attend all hands meeting until 23:20 (16:20)
- Evan working on noise characterization 
- Over 80Mcp range bump due to calibration work – NOT REAL
- At the 05:13 Lockloss, the OMC watchdog tripped 4 seconds after the Lockloss
- The first part of the shift was given to the commissioners while LLO was down. After LLO came back up and was in Observing mode, LHO switched to Observing mode as well. We had a 4-hour lock stretch in the middle of the shift with good range, moderate wind, no significant seismic activity. After losing lock, commissioning work continued until the last hour of the shift. Balance of the shift was spent relocking and doing fine tuning commissioning.
