Also cleaned the PICS C1 lens while I had that cover off. -Darryl ___end___ COMMENT: Thu Apr 27 21:18:19 GMT 2006 Forgot to note that I used a good type of motorcycle chain lube for lubing the gears and bearings, I brought it up from home but I'll leave it up here. This type of lube dispenses and stays in place very well, it is a good substitute for grease in most applications. -Darryl ___end___ Thu Apr 27 21:27:22 GMT 2006 CHIP Start Patrol WEATHER COMMENT: Thu Apr 27 21:27:23 GMT 2006 A mix of high and low clouds. ___end___ Thu Apr 27 21:27:35 GMT 2006 PICS Start Patrol Thu Apr 27 22:10:27 GMT 2006 CHIP End Patrol Thu Apr 27 22:10:35 GMT 2006 PICS End Patrol WEATHER COMMENT: Thu Apr 27 22:10:43 GMT 2006 Pausing due to clouds. ___end___ WEATHER COMMENT: Fri Apr 28 00:56:26 GMT 2006 Dense low clouds. ___end___ COMMENT: Fri Apr 28 00:57:01 GMT 2006 17 man-hrs on site, two observers - Darryl and Allen. ___end___ Fri Apr 28 00:57:57 GMT 2006 MkIV
