Summary of Hab operations: The toilet flush is not functioning and
there is about an inch of waste stuck to the bottom of the tank that
we have not been able to flush away. In the past 24 hours, we have
flushed the toilet about 4 times (by filling buckets in the shower and
emptying it into the toilet), to no avail. Flushing the toilet for
individual use with a little bucket has not been too rough, so we can
make it work till the end of our rotation, after which a new toilet
will be installed.

We were in power conservation mode today due to cloud cover limiting
the available solar power.
