[Jenne, with Matt and Fujimi as witnesses]
It might be about time to throw that champagne in the fridge. Nice. Not quite close enough to talk about popping it open, but we'll want it chilled just in case... 
I still haven't logged yesterday's work, and I'm still working now, so no details, but I just handed both CARM and DARM over to non-normalized RF signals, and had the arms stable at powers of about 105. I was workinig on the ETM alignment, and the power was increasing, so I think that's where the extra power will come from. I was lowering the DARM gain as I improved the alignment, because the optical gain was increasing so much. I probably just didn't do that fast enough for the last aligning, which is why I lost lock.
Anyhow, here's a plot, because I'm excited:
