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, Ohishi-san, Fabian, Enzo, Hirata-san, Yoshioka-kun, Kozu-kun):
 * We solved the problem with the OSEMs: cables had been plugged into the confusingly named "PD current monitor" outputs (actually LED current monitors), not the "OSEM outputs".
 * We solved a problem with the real-time model freezing which turned out to be the IO chassis having lost power.
 * We took some mass off the IM to allow for the weight of the cables, and readjusted it in pitch and roll.
 * We aligned the IRM to the IM and set the OSEMs to mid-range.
 * We added ballast to the BF.
 * We changed the receptacles for the SF-BF rod. The low receptacle did not fit properly into the BF keystone and Hirata-san had to file it.
 * We fixed a broken wire on the BF yaw pico, retested the pico and added the BF cap.
 * We cabled and tested the BF cap picos.
 * We lifted the BF and weighed and balanced it.
 * We installed the SF ring and brought in the SF.
 * We installed the Cu segments on the SF.
 * We cabled the SF LVDT and did a quick test (not a full calibration).
 * We replaced non-vacuum compatible cables in the PI, removed various sticky labels and wiped it with ethanol.
 * We tried to hook the SF-BF rod but found the hole in the hex cable clamp was too small for the 8 mm rod head. We enlarged the hole but then found the PEEK pieces were too loose. We tried using foil, but then managed to lose a PEEK piece into the BF, so we will need to remove the cap of the BF to get it.

==== Plan for week of 9/4 ====
Mark, Fabian, Enzo (Tue-Fri), Ohishi-san, Hirata-san, Yoshioka-kun (Tue, Wed, Fri), Kozu-kun (Thu, Fri)
 * Retrieve PEEK piece from BF.
 * Crane SF back in.
 * Suspend BF/IRM/IM/RM/BS.
 * Test SF FR.
 * Calibrate SF LVDT.
 * Install SF cap; route cables.
 * Lift and weigh SF/BF/IRM/IM/RM/BS.
 * Adjust SF ballast.

==== Plan for week of 9/13 ====
Mark (except Wed), Fabian (except ASJ), Enzo, Ohishi-san, Hirata-san, Yoshioka-kun (Tue, Wed, Fri), Kozu-kun
 * Prepare magnet ring.
 * Bring in PI.
 * Route cables.
 * Suspend SF/..., adjust tilt of SF and total mass.
 * Adjust damper gap.
