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 put back the original BF jacks (replacing the cantilevered jacks that had been borrowed from the SF level to allow access to the BF blade screws).
 * 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.
At Kamioka (Mark, Fabian, Enzo, Perry, Hirata-san):
 * We set things up again after the floor coating work.
 * We moved the PI into the second floor of the cleanbooth:
  * We cleared a path for the forklift (moving the portable cleanroom, worktable, power cables, vacuum pumps and other obstacles).
  * We got Saito-sensei to move the PI to the +Y side of the cleanbooth.
  * We washed and cling-wrapped a pallet.
  * We got Miyoki-san to disconnect the cables and curtain blocking the crane slot (and reconnect them afterwards).
  * We added some temporary crossbars in the top of the assembly frame and stored the SF cap on them to get it out of the way.
  * We craned in the pallet and set it up to bridge three floor joists.
  * We craned in the PI using Saito-san's adapter.
   * We couldn't find the original screws for the three PI transport plates so we substituted some others - fortunately there was no galling.
   * We had to connect the adapter to the crane with a sling because the ring for the hook was slightly too small).
 * We did a lot of cabling work:
  * We routed all the BF cables over the BF cap, up through the cable clamp on the SF-BF rod and up to the SF. (We had to redo a few because the Type 3 cable was at the flange end instead of the Type 1.)
  * We connected up the SF LVDT and FR stepper.
  * We started on rebalancing the BF (which had been perturbed by the weight and tension of all the cables). We got it rather better, but it needs more work.
  * We made another batch of anti-feedthrough adapters.

Week of 4/10:
 * Hirata-san does scissor lift training 4/10.
 * Perry in Tokyo 4/10.
 * Debug/fix dead OSEM channel, TM-H4.
 * Debug BF/SF LVDTs.
 * Adjust BF pitch/roll.
 * Do TF from SF LVDT actuation.
 * Install temporary ballast mass in SF.
 * Lift SF/BF/... section and check total weight and SF balance.
 * Continue swap of PI LVDT connectors (female->male)
 * Start preparing LBB spring units.
 * Install pico drivers in rack, create MEDM interface (with Miyo-kun), and undo temporary connection of picos to old controller and joystick.
Week of 4/17:
 * Crane in PI.
 * Connect SF/BF... section.
 * Temporarily remove PI and adjust SF ballast if necessary.

==== Plan for coming weeks ====
Next week:
 * Everyone (Mark, Fabian, Enzo, Hirata-san) at Kamioka, Monday-Thursday.
 * Work on electronics, possibly suspend and weigh BF.
Week after next:
 * Everyone (Mark, Fabian, Enzo, Hirata-san) at Kamioka, Monday-Friday.
 * Add SF and suspend BF.
