Ops Day Shift Summary
Had to trend and move back PR2 alignment sliders to be able to find IR. After that I had trouble locking DRMI and PRMI so I ran through an initial alignment. No trouble after that.

Kiwamu ran his Gouy phase measurements in the morning during which time there was a 7.1 mag. earthquake off the coast of New Zealand. The PSL also tripped during his measurements and Peter brought it back. I updated h0vaclx and h0vacly to add beam tube annulus ion pumps. John W. turned up the air conditioning in the control room. Kyle has been periodically turning down the heating on the HAM4 RGA bakeout. Terra has been taking PI measurements. Jenne and Terra are now recovering the IFO from a lock loss.
