Weather: Chilly morning turning into a balmy afternoon. Stratus until about 1300 local, followed by cumulostratus through the rest of the afternoon
Tasking:
- Met with Lou to catch up on ISS and cover their needs for the remainder of the project:
- switching out secondary storage drive as they approach full
- make sure water does not pool on 449
- make sure corn and debris does not build up around 449 electronics
- do a complete sounding with Matt and Andy with the new rs41 system
- Data check, everything is looking acceptable
- Did some housekeeping on the tablet and removed all the Perdigao and GRAINEX paired devices
- Truck clean
- Contacted Shaff Implements to try and expedite the shipping of the batteries. Still have not received word so chances aren't great
- Spent a few hours cleaning the swale of rubbish and straightening equipment due to the impending rain
- Showed Andy access to the remaining pressures sites we have not visited
Tomorrow morning Lou asked for some quick help with a couple of tasks. We pivoted from data entry this afternoon to a swale clean due to the nice weather, so that will be part of the rainy day activity tomorrow. The soil samples are cooling down after baking for 24hrs so we will weigh those as well. Matt will be landing in Chicago tomorrow and plans to catch a ride down to Champaign Saturday morning.
