 * Hirata-san:
  * Worked on the PR optic removal jig.
 * Enzo-san
  * Worked on getting his drivers license.
 * Mark, Fabian (at Kamioka):
  * Tried different strategies for getting the IRM-IM EQ stops and IRM OSEMs to line up simultaneously.
  * Realized that the main problem was that the pitch of the BS had changed relative to the IM (presumably due to slight slippage of the wires) so the IM had to be pitched up by 16 mrad to get the BS pitched slightly down (4.7 mrad).
  * Took the sides off the IRM to get access to the clamps and tightened them to prevent further slips.
  * Rebalanced the IM to be level in pitch (and roll).
  * Reassembled the IRM and aligned the IRM-IM EQ stops - this time it was easy.
  * Adjusted the IRM and RM OSEMs to mid-range.

==== Past week report ====
At Kamioka (Mark, Fabian, Enzo, Hirata-san):
 * We improvised a solution for ballast mass on the BF, using some heavy dog clamps meant for pedestals, washed and wrapped in foil. We we use them for the duration of the BS Test Hang and then swap them out for custom masses.
 * We rearranged the BS rack, closing the gaps between boxes (per request of Miyakawa-san. We also renumbered some boxes, connectors and cables so as to use zero-based numbering (#0, #1, #2,...) throughout.
 * We routed the OSEM cables into the external cable rack (rather than through the PR2 area).
 * We connected up the BF LVDT, and BF fishing rod stepper motor.
 * We installed a signal generator for the LVDT.
 * We connected the super motor driver box to the Internet and attempted to set it up, but with no success so far.
 * We found the final picomotor driver (we have been using the one from TAMA in the clean booth).
 * We found many items that we will need soon, including the copper ring for the SF.
 * We found issues with the digital system (the computer driving the rack had been changed from k1pr2 to k1bs, which causes problems) and worked with DGS to fix them. It now mostly works but the real-time model crashes from time to time.
 
==== Plan for coming weeks ====
 * Everyone (Mark, Fabian, Enzo, Hirata-san) next week at Kamioka
