It did not flush past data from directories. **MLSO PROBLEM**: Mon Apr 14 17:58:13 GMT 2003 Ran a KD to kill display on hoike, then did a CullOldGif and then d4. That fixed problem, although I don't know why hoike did not run CullOldGif automatically at the beginning of the day.

Removed Barrel and O1 Rotation hand control box from 20A1 box. These functions have been replaced by KCC system and documentation had not been updated. They were confusing the barrel troubleshooting effort.

Tue Apr 15 01:33:58 GMT 2003 PICS End Patrol **PSPT PROBLEM**: Tue Apr 15 01:56:35 GMT 2003 PSPT's PC monitor was fading, display was getting progressively harder to read. Replaced the ancient, armored, rackmount monochrome monitor with a spare ACER 34T UVGA monitor that we had stored here. It was one that was used on LOWL until it was replaced by newer unit (same type) when LOWL was upgraded to ECHO. I am not sure whether it had problems when it was replaced, it is used and old, it is working with the PSPT PC for now, display is much more readable. WEATHER COMMENT: Tue Apr 15 02:02:30 GMT 2003 Thick cirrostratus continues. Shutting down for the day.
