The circuit breaker for the air heaters in the greenhouse had to be reset again today.

At 1:30 pm, the outside air temperature was 55 deg F. The inside air temperature in the H. T. Odum greenhouse was off scale on the dial thermometer and 116 deg F on the indoor/outdoor thermometer.

At 6:00 pm, the water temperature in Tank # 3 of the Living Machine was 70 deg F. The air temperature was 56 deg F on the dial thermometer and 50 deg F on the indoor/outdoor thermometer. The outside air temperature was 38 deg F. Humidity in the greenhouse was 40%.

Three more tests (# 22, # 23, and # 24) of the Cliff Reconnaissance Vehicle (CRV) were performed today at White Rock Canyon. The stabilization rods were broken off, as anticipated. The CRV was retrieved two times in the emergency position - on its back sliding up the cliff (part of the way) rather than on its wheels. The tests were very successful and excellent video was captured.

The oil level in the Generac is fine, propane level is 27.
