At Kamioka (Mark, Fabian, Enzo, Hirata-san):
 * Hirata-san and Sekine-san moved the tank lid and service port ring to the pallet with the crane and covered the open tank with the spare clean bag.
 * Hirata-san and Mark got the LBB damper rings assembled and installed. A joint part for the Cu ring needed to have holes enlarged because the hole pattern did not quite match that on the half-ring. The magnet ring is hanging in the chamber and the Cu ring is attached below it with clamps, ready to receive the rods that will hang down from the PI.
 * Hirata-san recounted all the unused cables.
 * Hirata-san installed the outrigger parts on the LBB, which will receive the rods coming down from the damper ring.
 * Enzo and Mark tested all the stepper motors.
 * Enzo and Mark debugged the PI horizontal LVDTs. One LVDT had a flaky connection and one card in the LVDT driver had three dead channels. Enzo created a fully working driver using parts from another driver that also had a faulty card.
 * Fabian adjusted the ballast mass on the SF to get good pitch/roll/vertical adjustment and attached it with screws.
 * Fabian set up the optical lever again (the PR2 team had repossessed the breadboard we had been using but Akutsu-san supplied another one).
 * Enzo and Mark tested the pico motors. The software is very unreliable, but we we able to confirm that the IM pitch pico works.
 * The whole team wrapped items and shut down equipment ahead of the power outage.

At Kamioka (Mark, Enzo, Hirata-san, Yoshioka-kun):
 * We disassembled the suspension.
  * We removed all the cables and bagged and labelled them for reuse.
  * The PI is parked on the pallet.
  * The SF was initially parked between the frame and tank and then manhandled to one side. The same procedure was used for the SF ring.
  * The BF was parked between the assembly frame and tank. The BF ring was stored in the top of the structure.
  * We removed various useful and no-longer-needed items from the BF, including the lower rod receptacle, thrust bearing, fishing rod and temporary ballast masses.
  * We cut the wires and removed the RM and dummy BS on the RM trolley.
 * The wire clamps were moderately deeply scarred and could probably be reused, but we plan to use the new set, which will be available on Tuesday of next week.
 * We discovered that the problem with the old BF was due to the fishing rod, which had not had a pair of lock nuts and had been damaged by being drive too high, so that the springs hit the underside of the cap and were bent at the base. We will install lock nuts and set them to the correct height for the final installation.
 * The gluing of the BS primary prisms and magnets went well, but we had to reglue the secondary prisms because they stuck to the jigs and were pulled off when the jigs were retracted. The second try went well and the BS is ready for use.
 * Fabian and Hirata-san characterized 7 new BS BF blades. There was one outlier but the rest were in a tight group.
 * Hirata-san used 3 of the blades to build a new BF.
 * Miyo-kun and others from the Type Bp team did a lot of tidying up of the BS rack for us, and removed a lot of in-air cables running through the cleanbooth. When he returns, on 8/8, Enzo will coordinate relaying the cables in the cable trays (which were not installed when the initial cabling was done).

  * Debug/fix PI vertical LVDTs #0 and #2.
  * Calibrate PI vertical LVDT.
  * Debug/fix geophone #1.
  * Set yoke on PI vertical LVDT (if necessary).

  * Reassemble on top of Cu ring.
 * Install LBB damper.
  * Bind LBB damper rings together with slings.
  * Remove vacuum tank lid and ring.
  * Crane rings up to install height, hook LBB magnet ring and support LBB Cu ring by TBD method.
 * Crane suspension into tank.
 * Hook LBB Cu ring.
 * Hook LBB.
