Removed 5pounds from bottom of the spar and this seemed to clear up the oscillations.  I think this puts the spar slightly out of balance; as it was pretty much perfectly balanced at the end of the day on Wednesday.

SGS is now having an afternoon 200 arcsecond oscillation.  I added 3 pounds to the back of the spar which seems to have dampened it.
