One shut off was for at least thirty seconds and once, it was the bottom shutter that stop moving. Not entirely sure what happened and I tired opening they again to see if I could replicate it but it seemed to be working just fine. ___end___ GENERAL COMMENT BY waters: Mon Mar 27 02:04:53 GMT 2017 Nice clear day, with a few clouds that came up but it cleared for the rest of the afternoon. The wind also calmed down and we got a lot of areosols in the afternoon. ___end___
