During afternoon checkout "echelletcheck" failed (several attempts) to return anything to the mcnode. Checked temperature on the echelle mac (computer room). It read fine. Restarting_mc cleared this problem up. While mounting SPIcam, the two inner nuts on lower left NA2 rotator clamp were noticed loose by several turns. Hand tightened these two loose nuts and the previously reported "jolting" problem is no longer evident. Eventhough various enclosure lights were on, the TCC was intermittently reporting that all lights were off. Did not open due to weather.
