Unfortunately, I pulled the wrong plug to shut off the pump and lost some water from the chiller. Everything was spared from the spray except the floor. Once I had gotten the right plug, I cut the tube and refitted it on the nozzle and tightened the strap. I refilled the chiller with water but we are now out of water for Pspt. ___end___ Sun Jun 29 16:58:25 GMT 2014 KCOR Start Synoptic Patrol **PSPT PROBLEM COMMENT BY waters** : Sun Jun 29 17:03:22 GMT 2014 Still leaking, slower now but still. Turned off chiller/pump and such. Will try to trouble shoot after a quick bit to eat. ___end___ Sun Jun 29 19:07:32 GMT 2014 KCOR Start Calibration script: c:\kcor\mlso-calibration22deg.ini Sun Jun 29 19:07:15 GMT 2014 KCOR End Patrol GENERAL OBSERVATORY COMMENT BY waters: Sun Jun 29 19:14:44 GMT 2014 I might have hit the calibration button on kcor twice.

Not very far apparently. I looked for a spare but was unable to find one. I then tried to clean up the one i took off and tighten/untighten it to get it in better shape. I reinstalled it and with a bit of fight, I was able to tighten much further on then last time. Turned back on the pump/chiller and will keep an eye out to see if this'll help. ___end___ **PSPT PROBLEM COMMENT BY waters** : Sun Jun 29 20:28:42 GMT 2014 Nope, didn't fix it. Shut off the pump/chiller. Will try to trouble shoot some more. ___end___ Sun Jun 29 21:33:52 GMT 2014 COMP End Patrol Sun Jun 29 21:34:18 GMT 2014 COMP Start Patrol GENERAL OBSERVATORY COMMENT BY waters: Sun Jun 29 22:35:03 GMT 2014 Dome occulted comp. ___end___ **PSPT PROBLEM COMMENT BY waters** : Sun Jun 29 22:35:43 GMT 2014 Tried putting emergency repair tape at the end of the hose, didn't work. Going to stop trouble shooting as the hose clamp screw is being stripped each time I loosen or tighten. ___end___ Mon Jun 30 00:11:51 GMT 2014 KCOR End Patrol Mon Jun 30 00:12:22 GMT 2014 COMP End Patrol GENERAL OBSERVATORY COMMENT BY waters: Mon Jun 30 00:12:54 GMT 2014 Going in and out of clouds coming up from the West; idled Comp, Kcor and Shabar. ___end___ GENERAL OBSERVATORY COMMENT BY waters: Mon Jun 30 01:14:05 GMT 2014 Heading down a little early to pick up some hose claps and distilled water for Pspt tomorrow. ___end___
