General notes and comments: Removed more of the tunnel, hindered by strong winds, but wanted to get as many down as possible before rain. They are stored in the RAM until I can fold them.

Summary of GreenHab operations: Only a few plants left in the herb garden. I am transplanting them into pots so they can be donated.

Summary of any observatory issues: It’s rainy tonight so we weren’t going to use the observatory but I asked Peter to make sure if the skies clear that it doesn’t not open. This way we will be able to determine how much of the nighttime use of power is me and how much is the observatory. Hopefully it will be okay once I am gone, but right now it looks like we use too much at night and will damage the batteries over the long term. We may need to stagger nights that we use the observatory so that every other day they don’t discharge so
much at night but that is a worse case scenario. I need to balance the daytime/nighttime power use so the station will not suffer any damage to the system once we are shut down.
Summary of health and safety issues: Nothing to report.
Questions, concerns and requests to Mission Support: It’s raining again which means mud tomorrow. I’m so not happy about this.
