Today, H1 was primarily in the hands of commissioners working on high power. At the end of the shift, H1 was passed over to the SEI team so they could do BRS work (mainly because H1 was starting to break lock quite a bit); this happened as the wind gusts were approaching 40mph.
Guardian was updated (Violin & Bounce mode damping separated). I tried restarting nuc4 to show the updated ISC_LOCK Guardian, but had trouble with bringing it back up (the TV stayed OFF).
