	This was at the end of the day. I let myself get into a rush to prepare for testing another bundle. It was just after I had been working on the rather difficult task of putting fiber width measurements into the right spreadsheet, so I was distracted. Suddenly going from one thing to another like that can get me in trouble. I need to slow down and have those around me help me to slow down when I need to.		This was at the end of the day.

	8/17: I started work on removing bundle 401 from the bending box too soon, before Jim was ready to take it out. He was going to look at it before loosening anything. I should ask now before doing anything to the bending unit.		8/17: I started work on removing bundle 401 from the bending box too soon, before Jim was ready to take it out.

	We should not sand fibers in the dark box because depositing dust there could alter results. I have to hold the fiber outside the dark box, sand it, then wipe it with a lint-free cloth before putting it through a chimney.
