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.
 
==== 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.		 At Kamioka (Mark, Ohishi-san, Enzo, Yoshioka-kun):
 * We installed the cut-down ballast mass under the IM and tweaked the IM height and balance.
 * We checked the range of the BF FR.
 * We adjusted the BF yoke by 2.5 mm to make it give ≈0 output for nominal height.
 * We found a good gain setting for the LVDT driver and calibrated the BF LVDT.
 * We set up the optical sensors facing the RM.
 * We assembled the IRM (with OSEMs) around the IM and got it mostly adjusted.
 * We changed the k1visbs model to restore the as-designed mapping of OSEMs to DAQ channels.
 * We confirmed that the BF LVDT actuation coil and the TM OSEM coils were working.
 * We connected up the IRM OSEMs (with the new Type 5-1.7 cables) but found there was an electrical issue: all the OSEMs are reading back the same constant value, around 1115.
 * We left the suspension in a state suitable for TFs from BF GAS actuation to sensing (in vertical) and from RM OSEM actuation to the optical sensors (in horizontal) over the weekend.
At Mitaka (Hirata-san):
 * Hirata-san did 2D drawings of the SR LBB rods and sent off an RFQ.
 * Hirata-san did several cost-reduction negotiations with Mirapro.


==== Plan for week of 8/28 ====
Kamioka: Mark (except Tue), Ohishi-san, Fabian (except Tue), Enzo (except Tue), Hirata-san, Yoshioka-kun (Fri), Kozu-kun (Thu, Fri).
 * Fix/adjust IRM OSEMs.
 * Add BF cap; cable and test BF-1 and BF-2 picos.
 * Lift and weigh BF/IRM/IM/RM/BS; adjust ballast mass.
 * Crane in SF.
 * Suspend BF/IRM/IM/RM/BS.

==== Plan for week of 9/4 ====
 * Install SF cap; route cables.
 * Lift and weigh SF/BF/IRM/IM/RM/BS.
 * Adjust SF ballast.
