Log Book for March 22, 2004
Engineering Report
Susmita Mohanty Reporting

Generator/Electricity: We are using the backup generator (Lil Genny) because China Special has problems (see details below).

Voltage: 120 V AC
Frequency: 60 Hz
Wattage: 7 kW

Problem with China Special: The starter solenoid on the China Special is not engaging the starter motor and will need to be replaced. Don has come out and had a look at it this morning and said there was nothing that could be done to fix it in the short term and that it will need replacing.

Propane Tanks:
Furnace tank reading at 83% (207.5 gal)
The other 2 tanks were taken away by the Amerigas guy today.

Water: Outside potable water tank level: 52 cm mean height measured from base. Inside tank, measures at 21 gallons.

HVAC: Nothing to report.

Transport: The ATVs have been refueled. ATV #2 handle is 'buggered'(welsh for misaligned handle/steering).

Mars-Suits: Nothing to report.
