0040 Filled LN2 cold trap.
Begin LHe transfer (6%).
0145 End LHe transfer (88.5%).
0155 Start flashing detector: all LEDs; current -0.6 mA; flash duration 100 us; 5 ms flash off time.
0225 Mixing chamber temperature seems to hover around 183 mK. As the tower thermometer is unavailable, it wouldn't be entirely unexpected for the mixing chamber to be cooler than the tower by such an extent. It is, afterall, the coldest place in the fridge. Everything's probably fine.
1020 Fed cricket (3 pellets)
1125 Filled LN2 cold trap.
1136 Mixing chamber temperature still around 183 mK.
1255 Stop flashing detector.
1755 Fed cricket (4 pellets)
1805 Start flashing detector.
