Now we've got another day of data, with the foam box on for the last 24hrs.
First plot is a 5 day trend so you can see that the RAM has gotten a little bit smaller, as has the temperature drift, but not by a whole lot.

Second plot is the last 19 hours (so excluding much of the time while I was realigning beams on the PSL table yesterday), to zoom in on just the time when the foam box was installed.

After lunch Zach and I are going to engage the heater to temperature stabilize the system, to see how that affects things.
In other news, the MC looks like it was fine for a good long time, and ~3 hours ago it went bad. The mode that's flashing is really bad in both pitch and yaw. I don't know what happened, but something is not so awesome. Edit: Steve said that he opened the PSL table at some point this morning to look around but not touch, and also it's Janitor Day, and Kevin comes in around 8ish. That doesn't mean I know the actual cause, but those are the only things that happened in the IFO room this morning that anyone is aware of.
