Thursday summary
** The LVEA was in laser hazard all day and remains so now
** Both doors came off HAM4 and went over the X arm manifold to their storage locations.
** Commissioners continued in HAM1
** Mitchell continued his baffling work near the LVEA test stands
** Filiberto etc spent time at EX working on PEM cables
** Sheila went to EX in the afternoon to work on the green laser noise eater status readout
** Dust monitor 9 alarmed a number of times but the particle counts didn't exceed the threshold by much.  The monitor flipped between green and white often in the morning.
** When Kyle was working with GV7 in the afternoon for the craning of the HAM doors, four alarms were generated from HVE:LX_X4144BTORR (PT 144) on the mid station side of GV8.  The readout was bouncing near 2.4e-08 all afternoon and the alarms occurred when the value intermittently rose a small amount above the threshold of 2.5e-08 (for instance 2.69e-08). In each case the alarm condition immediately fell below the threshold.
** Lots of CDS, SEI and SUS work (Jeff B, Andres) in the control room
