Summary of internet: All accounts are nominal but I keep getting kicked off the network, which I find super annoying.
Summary of suits and radios: We replaced 6 of the new EVA radios with longer whip antennas but did not see a noticeable increase in clarity of communication. Next step is to get the addition to the repeater installed and see if that changes things.
Campus wide inspection, if action taken, what and why? Nothing to report
Summary of general operations: Nominal
Summary of Hab operations: Finished the winterizing of the pipes between static tank and Hab. Next fall we will replace this with a direct line from the tank to the building. But for this window it is heat taped and foam wrapped, so should be ok. The tank heater will be installed today as well.
Summary of Outpost operations: I carpeted my living/kitchen areas with leftover carpet squares. I’m fancy now! Sergii installed LED lights in the living area of his trailer for better working light. We purchased new lights for the 110V lights in each trailer but they won’t work in mine. We have an additional set we will install in the Hab shower room and toilet next weekend. Sergii took a CO monitor from the Hab because he did not have one in his trailer. The propane alarm is also not working in that trailer so we will be replacing that as well. We have used the new washing machine and are quite pleased with it. Sergii also added some holes in the floor under the sink to keep the kitchen pipes from freezing at night. He insulated some of the windows with silver bubble wrap insulation as well. It’s been colder than normal for this time of year.
Summary of GreenHab operations: Thermostat was replaced and is working correctly for the first time in a couple of seasons.
