Another fifteen hour day of work. Most of the day was spent getting one of our RAID's back, which I was finally able to do late this evening. It was too late to clear the backlog of data off of the mountain in time to observe to-night, but it is a relief to have it working, and I hope it remains that way. We also realised, during the brief time we were able to snatch at the mountain, that the grease sprayer is not working properly as we hoped it would after we increased the thermostat temperature yesterday. Given its importance for the telescope motion (it keeps the gears lubricated) it is perhaps not a bad thing to be giving the experiment a rest for one night. And on the subject of rest, it is probably not a bad thing for this experimentalist to also take some rest for the night.
