Full summary of DQ shift here
Brief summary below:
H1 clearly shaken out of lock from a M4.3 Puget Sound earthquake (Observatory Mode taken to EARTHQUAKE) at 0222utc. Green arms looked aligned, but still swerving a bit, so I took them to INCREASE FLASHES to wait out the seismic waves. In Earthquake Mode state from 0222-0233utc.

INCOMING OPERATOR: Ryan C
SHIFT SUMMARY:
One lockloss toward the middle of the shift. As well as an unlocking TCSx laser for that lock. Currently Observing (after taking two attempts to get to NLN in the latter part of the shift).
LOG:
13.5hr lock just ended with a lockloss (and also had an OBSERVING drop due to TCSx laser earlier). Currently waiting for H1 to get back up to NLN.
Unfortunately, had a lockloss at TRANSITION FROM ETMX (0334utc). Currently on our way back up at ENGAGE ASC.
Identical drop from OBSERVING due to unlocked TCSx laser which happened on Sept 15 (alog #72908).
Here are the notables:

Outgoing should be Austin! sorry about that.

tl;dr
To get the update, git pull at the picket fence folder. Also, don't forget to install cartopy so the picket map scripts work.
