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 put lock nuts on the F0 FR and calibrated the F0 LVDT against FR position and keystone height.
 * Enzo traced the issue with the geophones to a specific cable.
 * We measured the BF and F0 GAS resonant frequencies.
 * We adjusted the spacing of the SR damper.
 * We double-checked the BS pitch with the OL.
 * We debugged the PI yaw mechanism. We managed to get the return spring properly adjusted, but the stepper motor tends to jam because of the strange design.
 * '''We prepared the suspension for lifting and craned it into the tank.'''
 * Hirata-san fixed an issue with one of the nailheads on the LBB intermediate ring support rods not properly seating, by removing the rod and reinstalling it upside down (with the problem nailhead in a less critical position).
 * Enzo and team moved all the in-air cables from the assembly frame to the tank.
 * Fabian and Ohishi-san unlocked the bottom section of the suspension and got it hanging freely.
 
==== Plan for week of 9/25 ====
Mark, Fabian, Enzo (Mon, Tue), Ohishi-san (Tue, Fri), Hirata-san, Yoshioka-kun (Tue, Wed, Fri), Kozu-kun
 * Finish moving in-air cabling and feedthroughs and reconnect in-vacuum cables (through Cu O-rings).
 * Unlock rest of suspension and readjust.
 * Debug electronics.
 * Unclamp LBB ring "sandwich" so LBB Cu ring is suspended on upper rods.
 * Install LBB lower rods and hook LBB.
 * Adjust LBB damper Cu-magnet gap.
 * Measure required ballast for LBB.
 * Remove First Contact, try OL.
 * Prepare for SR2 work.

==== 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 10/2 ====
Kamioka: Mark, Enzo, Fabian, Ohishi-san.
 * TFs etc.
Mitaka: Hirata-san?
 * SF design/purchasing.

==== Vacation Info ====
Mark: 10/16-24
Enzo: 9/27-29
