Bands of cirrus covering the sky at present. Will wait before better conditions before opening. ___end___ GONG COMMENT BY waters: Wed May 23 17:12:02 GMT 2018 Went down to the GOGN shelter and took a look at their AC unit that had frozen over last week. It was defrosted and everything looked dry. Started it back up for them again but the setting is on low. Will head down throughout the day when able to check on it. ___end___ GENERAL COMMENT BY waters: Wed May 23 17:37:13 GMT 2018 PM Blew off Kcor O1 ___end___ GENERAL OBSERVATORY COMMENT BY waters: Wed May 23 17:55:08 GMT 2018 Thought an opening had come in but it is way too bright to take any data at his time. ___end___ GONG COMMENT BY waters: Wed May 23 21:16:26 GMT 2018 Went down to check the GONG shelter AC and saw that it was starting to ice over again from the outside. Went in and the sensaphone alarm was going off, saying the temperature was too low. Turned off the ac unit again and tried to air out the shelter to have it warm up. Will leave it off again. ___end___ GENERAL OBSERVATORY COMMENT BY waters: Wed May 23 22:00:13 GMT 2018 Doesn't look like the cirrus will clear; closed the dome incase the wind was bringing up particulates. ___end___ GENERAL OBSERVATORY COMMENT BY waters: Wed May 23 22:42:52 GMT 2018 Sorted and found homes for the things we got from Bob Wiley. The flashlighs and batteries are on the shelf above the defibrillator. The new respirators are in the shelf below where the first aid kaboodles are, in the pspt dome. The first aid supplies were dated and put in the left most first aid kaboodle since it was missing those supplies. ___end___ GONG COMMENT BY waters: Wed May 23 23:14:04 GMT 2018 Was able to talk to Tim about the AC unit. We decided to leave it off for the rest of the day and tomorrow to put on just the fan and then check in on it a couple hours later. ___end___ GENERAL OBSERVATORY COMMENT BY waters: Wed May 23 23:22:27 GMT 2018 No data today. Hoping the rest of the week gets better. ___end___ ONSITE STAFF: waters
