----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Mauna Loa Solar Observatory Observer's Log ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Mon Feb 7 17:14:23 GMT 2000 Year: 00 Doy: 038 Observer: yasukawa WEATHER COMMENT: Mon Feb 7 17:14:33 GMT 2000 Cool, clear, light southeast wind. **MLSO PROBLEM**: Mon Feb 7 17:15:17 GMT 2000 Ground wire of HELCO powerline down between poles 178 and 180 along the MLO road. Reported to HELCO trouble desk on the way up here. All systems running albeit with no solid grounding to HELCO power. I will not start anything up and will gracefully shutdown nahenahe, kii, and nene in case the power is off longer than the UPS will support the outage like last time. I'm sure HELCO will shut off power for safety reasons during the repair. I hope they did all of the pending repairs the last time so that they are not shut off as long as they were last time. **MLSO PROBLEM**: Mon Feb 7 22:10:10 GMT 2000 Power came back up. I am running around starting things back up. Time OK on nene and nahenahe, kii time is wrong by -36 minutes. Reset time and date on CLEAR monitor. COMMENT: Mon Feb 7 22:14:37 GMT 2000 No observations today. LOW-L COMMENT: Mon Feb 7 22:14:54 GMT 2000 Restarted LOWL. Unloaded L00668 from drive #0. Moved L00669 from drive #1 to #0, loaded L00670 into drive #1. Corrected time and date. Restarted LOWL. **CHIP PROBLEM**: Mon Feb 7 22:17:36 GMT 2000 Network is still out. This is the probable cause of the time being wrong. kii needs to connect to the network to retrieve the correct time. **GONG PROBLEM**: Mon Feb 7 22:19:20 GMT 2000 GONG xterm doesn't boot up, there is a brief grinding sound every once in a while--like an unbalanced hard drive platter. Turned it off for now. Will check it out later. COMMENT: Mon Feb 7 22:21:06 GMT 2000 Everybody else seems to be coming alive OK. Mon Feb 7 22:21:39 GMT 2000 MkIV
