Saturday Aug 7
An IOP was contiueing 
Display Manager backup was made
Meet with operators asked if they had any concerns on operations or equipment
all seemed fine with how things are running
Asked them to shut down all equipment at the end of project.
There is some question at all sites but especially at this site due to the long drive to Hermosillo when is the final launch of the project. An email needs to 
sent to all sites covering this issue. Students at Penasco have noon flights out
of Hermosillo on the 16th and a 6 hour drive to get there. Local students could cover last flights if need be.


Sunday Aug 8
Surface met was shutdown from approx 16:50 z to 18:05 z.This was to collect
sample files to observe the t-dome and t-case temperatures on the IR sensor 
in an attempt to figure out the spikes in the data.
Profiler was shutdown from 18:40z for approx 1 hour to back up hard drive data.
