Mid-Shift Status (thurs night)

The TTFSS beatnote continued a nosedive this afternoon/evening.  Fearing the remedy for this was a hardware fix tomorrow, I opted to prepare to take H1 to a No-Squeezing state, but during my preparations, H1 was dropped out of Observing for a different SQZ reason.  At this point, I stayed out of observing and focused on following the procedure for No-Squeezing operations.  I mostly was there, but there were still issues with the SQZ MANAGER and SQZ LO LR nodes not making it to their "No Squeezing" nominal states (i.e. they had orange boxes).  At this point I phoned TJ (per No-Squeezing wiki instructions), but Sheila also connecting with me via mattermost.  

Sheila has thinks Squeezing should work and is working on that.  

I am currently working on H1 because at 409utc (909pmPDT), H1 lost lock.
