# Hours the ATVs were Used today: 1
Notes on ATVs: We spent a lot of time working on the ATVs today with some success. One of the 350s was already working. David picked up a new battery today and we put it in another of the 350s and it is working. We jumped the battery in the other 350, but it seems it could not hold a charge. The Honda’s spark plug is very dirty and we could not get it to turn over. The 300’s battery is charging overnight and hopefully, we will get it running by morning.
The plan is to assess them all again tomorrow and then go to town on Monday for any parts or batteries we may need. The Honda is somewhat clear of mud, the 350 is still really filthy and the mud is like a brick. I purchased a new set of jumper cables to replace the damaged ones I found. I am going to try to repair the damaged ones.
HabCar used and why, where? Yes, to town for supplies and water and trash disposal
CrewCar used and why, where? Yes, used to get the crew here, still on site all week.
General notes and comments: About ¾ of the damaged tunnel is repaired. We will finish this up in the next day or so.
Summary of internet: Password to wifi in Hab was changed, but no one told me! All okay now.
Summary of suits and radios: Nothing to report
Summary of Hab operations: Wheel was removed from the front airlock door so we could get it to close again. The hinged side of the door was severely bent and damaged so we hammered it back as best we could. The door is now closed and secured for the night. We will need to work more on it tomorrow and replace the railing on the porch (which has already had many repairs).
Kitchen shelf was cleared of non-kitchen supplies.
