Today started off with low cloud cover and by the afternoon it was sunny with clear skies.
This morning Daniel's Canyon satellite site was down so Isabel went to see what was going on. Found that there was no power. I first checked everything inside the job box where they had the batteries and 24V power supply. Saw no lights on the Victron and read out the batteries and they were dead. Next found the power drop and determined that there was no power coming form the outlet. We found someone that worked at the barn (thanks to a very friendly kitty) and he told us that the circuit breaker had kept tripping since last week but recently would no reset at all. With our end disconnected the CB still tripped instantly. Dan is going to get ahold of the electrician to have them troubleshoot and find out what's going on (moisture or short). Isabel and I switched out batteries and the site is back up. For now Daniels Canyon will require a battery swap every few days.
Friend we made that lead us to where the barn workers stay.
Isabel and I visited the rest of the satellite sites I had not been to and we finished taking HRLX measurements. We also fixed the soil core that got jammed the other day.
During todays sounding I used another one of the previously bad sondes with the RH limit warning, and it too cleared after going through a full ground check. Sebastian was around for the sounding as well. We did have a balloon burst on us for some unknown reason right as we put in 20 cubic feet, so we had to use a second one.
