The moderate Southern wind was keeping the dust from the construction away from the dome but the wind has shifted to coming out of the Northwest now. Closing the dome as they start up the concrete runs.

Gave a tour to the construction crew (Kevin, Kevin, David, Archer) before they headed out for the day. They'll be back Monday to do the last cement pour, which will be right in front of our building.

An okay day to take data; aerosols got heavy as the morning went on and got extremely bad by the afternoon. Hope tomorrow is a better day, aerosol wise.
