1. Exterior sanding / staining, and mowing. THANK YOU Galen and Tom @wavefarm!

 

2. Rodent eviction. It must have been cozy over the winter next to the warm Here GOES viewport monitor
3. Audio repair. Rodent residents chewed through viewport speaker power cable
5. Installation of LNA power monitor into overall HVAC and remote systems monitoring. We’re having to replace LNAs more often than expected, this will enable us to keep better tabs on them
6. Here GOES Radiotelescope seen through Type A’s Barrier, another installation on the grounds of Wave Farm

Not pictured but also featured during visit: An ant colony under the Here GOES electronics case, birdsong, bunnies, hydrophone experimentation thunderstorm, turtles, a bear, a tick, and a lunar eclipse somewhere past the cloud cover.
