Notes on non-nominal systems:

Suit #5 – I noticed during suit prep today a small seam separation in the zipper at one corner. (Photo attached). The team has needle and thread available, if hand stitching is an acceptable repair.

Door knob of the toilet required only dry lubricant to free up operation. Door knob is good as new now. (Photo attached).
