1604 Filled N2 cold trap. Tower temperature started to rise from 14:38.
1623 Tower temperature started to drop when the Helium transfer stick was inserted into the transfer port. And 1K pot got less noisier. The temperature change is likely due to thermoacoustic oscillation in the bath.

1625 Begin LHe transfer (9.3%)
1717 End LHe transfer (92.1%)
1907 Tower temperature kept spiking. Opening helium recovery and 1K pot pump exhaust to air didn't seem to help. Switched to N2 cold trap 2.
Cold trap 2 didn't work better. Add 5mW to still heater. Switch back to cold trap 1.
1913 Tower temperature kept increasing. Turn off still heater.
1939 Data taking stopped after 48hours. Flashed for 5min.
