INCOMING OPERATOR: Corey
SHIFT SUMMARY: We've been locked for 1.5 hours. The ground has been doing the tectonic shuffle this morning with a group of earthquakes and aftershocks from Tonga, 7.0, 4.8, 6.1, 4.9, 5.8...
LOG: No log.
The porta potty outside the FCES has also been knocked over, and OSB receiving is blocked by tumbleweeds. (Tagging FMCS)

CURRENT ENVIRONMENT:
SEI_ENV state: CALM
Wind: 16mph Gusts, 11mph 3min avg
Primary useism: 0.03 μm/s
Secondary useism: 0.15 μm/s
QUICK SUMMARY:
H1 has been at NLN for 1.5+hrs.
There is a CDS Alarm for the RO (reverse osmosis) system. Happened to phone Tyler earlier today with water questions and he mentioned he turned off both RO skids this morning (@943amPDT).
Environmental noise wise, secondary µseism is lower than 24hrs (looks like it's flattened out squarely at the 50th percentile about 7hrs ago). Winds are a little are a touch more breezy than yesterday, but still well under 20mph.
20:34 UTC lockloss, it appears to have been from an ETMX glitch

STATE of H1: Observing at 152Mpc
INCOMING OPERATOR: Ryan S
SHIFT SUMMARY:
Quiet shift with H1 locked the whole time (currently at about 7.5hrs). Squeezed in a successful Calibration while L1 was down. Secondary microseism continues downward trend from the last 24+hrs (touching 50th percentile line). Winds touched ~20mph, but have mostly meen much calmer.
LOG:
After noticing that L1 was down, started running Calibration measurments since H1 was now thermalized.

CURRENT ENVIRONMENT:
SEI_ENV state: CALM
Wind: 10mph Gusts, 7mph 3min avg
Primary useism: 0.02 μm/s
Secondary useism: 0.19 μm/s
QUICK SUMMARY:
Ryan C handed over an Observing H1. Have had (5) locklosses from Observing over last 24hrs with only 2 of those from last night being due to wind (winds are much lower this evening and secondary µseism continues to plummet).
Perhaps if L1/V1 go down any time after an hr from now (after 3hr thermalization), I could take the opportunity to run a calibration.

SHIFT SUMMARY: I was able to get a coherence measurement during the first lock. We've relocked 3 times this shift, no issues relocking.

I've been damping ITMY modes 5/6 with half the nominal gain (0.005) during the second/third lock as I wasn't totally convinced the damping was going well before with the higher gain. 3/4 monitors were going down but the DARM line height on DTT wasn't really changing. TJ said he had success with this lower gain the other day as well. I put the new damping settings for ETMY mode1 into lscparams.

SHIFT SUMMARY:
Had a bit of moody winds tonight---no sustained winds, not really strong winds, but the middle of the shift had waves of short gusty periods, two of which took H1 down. Luckily the winds died down toward the end of the shift, to allow H1 to get back to Observing. Took ETMy Mode1 to the settings Ryan C mentions in his summary.
LOG:
For FAMIS #26369: All looks well for the last week for all site HVAC fans (see attached trends).
BRSx is in the middle of both of its thresholds, and BRSy is slowly trending down to the lower threshold.
