No sample collected but a blank of the collector was taken before cleaning. This contained the same dusty grit that settled to the bottom as the fog samples contain.

Peter arrived at 9:30 and was greeted by a full bottle of fog water! Sample was taken and Kona agreed to clean the collector and take a blank after 11:30. RH trigger changed to 91% the previous day. System started remotely from home with the sudo screen -S fogon command. The LCD screen on the pi was not displaying properly, although the system had not crashed. The letters were offset. Some bug in the python code.

Got about 10 mL of rain water last night. It started sprinkling around 4 am. Collector cleaned with DI water without removing strand frames. New jar put on and ready for tonight. RH cutoff changed to 91%. RH sensor put in cup instead of being out in the open.

Replaced power supply today and system appears to be working now. Emails were sent from fan and water sensor triggers. Fog rolling in.

System at LML has been crashed for almost 2 weeks now. Bummer! Finally figured out problem. It is the email sending module. If there is no internet connection, this version of program should not be used. I am going to run with the old version of the program that is being used at other sites. Should work.

Got about 70 mL of clear water with a little grit at bottom. Very pea soupy this morning, collected sample at 9:30. No drizzle, but true fog. Took blank. Removed frames and cleaned with 409, cleaned drip tray in place. Put back together and reset for tonight.
