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		 At Kamioka (Mark, Fabian, Hirata-san, Yoshioka-kun):
 * We reconfigured the top of the assembly frame.
 * We cleaned the assembly frame, blowing dust out of the grooves and wiping all surfaces.
 * We recentered the optic table in the bottom of the frame and adjusted the frame until the top was centered over the optic table. We also recentered the trolleys.
 * We re-installed, centered and leveled the IM.
 * We solved two issues with the new wire clamps:
  * Some holes were not properly threaded - Hirata-san retapped them.
  * Some locating pins were loose - we glued them.
 * We mounted the BS mirror box on the trolley and brought it under the IM.
 * We installed the winch system and the 300 µm wires for the BS.
 * We set up the optical lever.
 * Hirata-san finished the new BF. We moved the old BF out of the cleanbooth and the new one in.
