 * Hirata-san:
  * Did drawings of SR damper.
 * Mark, Fabian, Enzo and Hirata-san (at Kamioka):
  * Took the end plate off the IM to get access to the pitch/roll picos.
  * Found the pitch pico was unreliable and replaced it.
  * Found the springs were not stiff enough, and immobilized 7 turns at the end of each with Cu wire to make them stiffer.
  * Reassembled and rebalanced the IM.
  * Reassembled and adjusted the IRM.
  * Discovered that the transverse offset between IRM and IM could be corrected by adjusting the roll of the BF.
  * Adjusted IM OSEMs to half-way.
  * Made and installed a new pair of wires for the BF yaw pico on the IM pico adapter (Hirata-san).
  * Installed an improved LVDT cable made by Hirata-san.
  * Made and hung posters for the Elites meeting visitors.

==== Past week report ====
At Kamioka (Mark, Fabian, Enzo, Perry, Hirata-san):
 * We removed the BF cap to debug the stepper motor. We checked the cabling but didn't find a problem. Eventually toggling the power to the driver box seemed to fix it.
 * We got the wheels removed from the two tall stepladders.
 * We started to rebalance the IM but came to realize that it was unstable for more than trivial pitch and roll (and had been for some time). We moved trim mass from top to bottom and it became unconditionally stable.
 * We rebalance the IM, put back the IRM and adjusted the OSEMs.
 * We took a successful TF in IM-L.
 * We added the security structure ring for below the SF and then added the SF. We noticed the cap is on at the wrong angle (so the keystone lock screws are inaccessible) but we can easily fix that.
 
==== Plan for coming weeks ====
Next week:
 * Everyone (Mark, Fabian, Enzo, Perry Hirata-san) at Kamioka, Monday-Friday except for Hirata-san Wednesday-Friday).
 * Finish SF installation.
 * Finish BF cabling, hang BF/IRM/IM/RM/BS from SF and confirm weight matches load capacity.
 * Re-trim BF as necessary.
 * Get picomotor driver working.
Week after next:
 * Everyone (Mark, Fabian, Enzo, Hirata-san) at Kamioka, Monday-Friday.
 * Prepare for PI installation.
