Sorry for the delay in this status alog:

Today, Calum and I:

- centered the outstanding M2 (lower) stage BS BOSEMs

- set the top BS BOSEMs to account for some buoyancy

- set the top ITMx BOSEMs to account for some buoyancy

- added the 1" witness optic to the ITMx lower structure

- reinforced the First Contact on the ITMx and it's CP in prep for pulling and closing up tomorrow

Note, the last step above required that I semi-lock the optics which I did, and then left in that state since we need them locked for pulling the FC tomorrow.  I had understood that SEI was not needing the evening to do TFs here, although I see Sebastien has started TFs.  I've written him this email:

Howdy, Seb -
I see you started TFs on the ITMx - the ITMx is half locked up... Although it seems like it is damping, there is
1) extra payload on the ISI due to added teflon fixtures to lock the ITMx optic
and
2) the suspension may be damping well because it is infact locked up slightly.

Not sure how this will affect the SEI TFs tonight...
