: Station Maintenance
- Haven't been able to collect data from this station
since 15:00 on 01/09/09. Recently, the LoggerNet
software has been able to connect to the station,
but hasn't been able to collect. Some strange
errors in the LoggerNet logs lead me to believe
the program may have become corrupt and therefore,
will reload MAWN program. The battery is still
low (12.05V) and may need to be replaced.

- Moved Precipitation and Temp/RH sensors. Needed to
relocate the sensors sensitive to irrigation outside
of the blueberry plot. Sensors were moved to north
and slightly west of the station:
Distance estimate: sensors to station: 43 paces (129 feet)
Distance estimate: shed to station: 28 paces (84 feet)
- Installed Pressure sensor. However, no changed made
to datalogger program so pressure is currently not
being recorded.

Lat: 42.400577062
Lon: 86.074038018
Alt: 205.681
