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, 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 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.
==== 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.
