At Kamioka (Mark, Fabian, Enzo, Hirata-san):
 * With help from Kokeyama-san and Miyakawa-san, we debugged a problem with the real-time model freezing, which turned out to be the IO chassis shutting down because of brownout condition from an overloaded AC circuit. A combination of extra boxes added to the rack, plus surge current from the air shower could draw the full 20 A limit of the circuit. Awai-san ran a cable to a separate circuit and we moved the IO chassis onto that.
 * We got the stepper motor cabling and driver working, and tested the BF fishing rod stepper motor.
 * We got the LVDT cabling, driver and associated parts of the real-time model working.
 * We suspended the BF and payload to check the weight and balance after adding balance mass. The weight was spot-on and the balance was OK (about as expected and close enough to be corrected). However the height and balance of the IM was disturbed again.
 * Fabian worked on the redesign of the ballast masses.
 * Hirata-san found all the parts for the SF and the SF section of the security structure, and prepared the SF. However we then removed the Cu ring from the top cap for recleaning.
 * We worked with Sawada-san to get the wheels removed from the large stepladders so that could be put closer to the assembly frame for comfort and safety.
 * We cleaned up after a water leak from the ceiling.
 * We straightened the hexagonal poles in the bottom level of the security structure, in preparation for adding the new EQ stops for the RM.		 At Kamioka (Mark, Enzo, Yoshioka-kun):
 * We experimented with rearranging the arc weights to accommodate the magic wands and came up with a suitable scheme.
 * We used spare arc weights as extra ballast on the LBB to get it to float, and measured the height for a known load.
 * We put the blocks back under the LBB and unhooked it.
 * We moved the suspension from the tank back to the assembly frame.
 * We craned the LBB rings down onto the LBB but did not remove them yet. (This however is the last crane work in the tank until reinstallation, so the lid does not have to come off again and the pallet can be used for the PI.)
 * We put the crossbars back in the assembly frame underneath the SF and BF (and corrected an error in the height of the BF ones).
 * We checked the centering of the security frame in the assembly frame and disconnected it from the PI. One M12x35 screw galled after a few turns and will need attention.
 * Enzo started setting up the SR3 rack (with help from Yamamoto-san).
 * We received the real BS optic and gluing tools, and glued the disks and rods into the modified magnet jigs. We also tried the re-made secondary prisms in the gluing jigs and made shims to hold them more securely.

==== Plan for coming weeks ====
Next week:
 * Everyone (Mark, Fabian, Enzo, Hirata-san) at Kamioka, Monday-Friday.
 * Readjust height and balance of BF+payload, add SF.
 * Get picomotor driver working.
Week after next:
 * Everyone (Mark, Fabian, Enzo, Hirata-san) at Kamioka, Monday-Friday.
 * Continue adding SF and suspend BF.		 At Mitaka (Fabian and Hirata-san):
 * Hirata-san shipped the optic and gluing tools to Kamioka.
 * Hirata-san did drawings and RFQs for IM/BF/SF ballast masses
 * Fabian worked on the SRx assembly frame.

==== Plan for week of 7/18 ====
Full team at Kamioka from Tue-Fri, except Hirata-san (Tue-Wed only).
 * Glue prisms/magnets on BS.
 * Dismantle suspension.
 * Finish setting up filter service area (mostly already done by Mirapro).
 * Move BF to filter service area, start rebuild.

==== Plan for week of 7/24 ====
Full team at Kamioka from Mon-Fri, except Hirata-san (Tue-Fri) and Enzo (vacation).
 * Finish BF rebuild.
 * Recheck alignment of assembly frame and centering of optical table.
 * Install IM, suspend BS and RM.

Vacation Info:
Hirata-san: Thu 7/20 through Mon 7/24
Enzo: Sat 7/22 through Sun 8/6
Fabian: Fri 8/4 through Mon 8/21
