Notes on ATVs: 350.1 was the only operational ATV when I arrived.
350.2 and 350.3 are now operational with new batteries. 350.2 is
still very dirty.

We are currently changing the spark plug on the Honda to see if we can
get it to turn over. The Honda’s battery is good. We purchased a new
battery for the 300 and hope to get it installed before dark today.
The goal is to have all 5 ATVs operational tomorrow.

HabCar used and why, where? Yes, to haul water.

CrewCar used and why, where? Yes, to Loa for supplies

General notes and comments: Tunnel repairs were completed. A
considerable amount of MOOP was picked up from around the tunnels.

We are currently transferring water with a very small external pump
that takes over an hour to transfer 125 gallons. We plan to replace
the pump that was broken last month with my old house pump this
evening. That should make transferring water easier although we
should order a replacement pump to have on hand.

Summary of Hab operations: Electric kennel is broken.
Toaster/convection oven was replaced on the shelf where it belongs.

Summary of ScienceDome operations: First group of plants in the plant
press are being fanned for more rapid drying.

that I will sweep it out once the wind dies down.
