Summary of internet: Internet was upgraded at Shannon’s, but the
phone does not work properly. Internet seems as good as before it
went bad, but not blindingly faster even with the upgrade. Wifi is
turned off to this service. Hab internet is good.
Summary of suits: n/a, not used
Summary of Hab operations: The forced air furnace is still
periodically blowing cold air. Need to clean the filter tomorrow then
order some as soon as possible to see if that is the problem.
Summary of GreenHab operations: I moved the beans to the wooden bench
and provided cages for their continued growth. Other plants were
organized. I prepped 10 pots for moringa seeds. Ordered further
supplies: timer for lights, environmental monitor, herb and lettuce
seeds with planters
Summary of ScienceDome operations: Ordered two floor lamps for evening
light. We will have to clean the lab tomorrow as it is not in
changeover condition.
Summary of RAMM operations: The area was leveled and the swale was
dug so that water will go around the building during rain and runoff.
The RAMM left California this evening and will be onsite at 10 am. It
will be lowered onto a railroad tie frame to keep it off the ground.
Summary of health and safety issues: Nothing to report
Questions, concerns and requests to Mission Support: Nothing, thank you.
