SGS00: LOG Messages: 9 Entries..

Noted yesterday afternoon that the wind at the base was from the NW
while the wind at the measurement array was from the NE!!

Added oil to generator

added 18 gals. gas to generator tank.

Generator stopped unexpectedly at 1755. Restarted 
without any problem. Dip stick showed adequate oil
level, and after restarting, the oil warning light 
was NOT on.

Data streams resumed at 1820.

The generator stopped around 1830 PDT last night and did not find
this until 0800 this morning.  Would not restart until after I
changed the oil (it was scheduled for an oil change today).  Perhaps
the oil level was low and the generator can detect this???
However changing the oil also requires tipping the generator, so
this may have been the reason it restarted.

Data collection started again around 0845 PDT.

put 15 gals. of gas in the fuel drum.
