Machine Builds

• PCB's for a core build have been sent to McLane.  Scott working on cost calculation to send them.
• Doug has first Ti HV puck tops.  Will work with Roman on whether they are appropriate.
• Screen drawings have been modified so holes are smaller (=stiffer metal).  Must compare to PO drawings to find most recent.
• Cheri tasked with assembling a 'spare' kit and we will get this  x3

Software

Deep ESP/DWSM

• Over weekend, water was inadvertently let into the sphere (~500ml) due to the wrong puck (LAF) being loaded.  All things looked okay, until we tried the next SH1, and the puck heater started giving wild readings.  It is probably fried.  We will run some core negative PCRs, and recover next week (Tuesday) if weather permits.

Deployment Issues

• Brent working on networking the pier deployment.  Will acquire larger antenna(s) and working on VPN issues.  Possible trip down there Weds.  Deployment looking to be during the week of the 19th.

 Other Items

• Harbans Dhadwal (Stoney Brook, NY) will be  visiting Friday, Oct 30.  He'll be learning about basic MFB functions.  Will need a 'cheat sheet' of commands, and maybe the 'training' can used colored water.  Cheri on this.
