18.10 - 26.7 VDC - 7 - 14 C - Yes
Notes/Comments: we are waiting for Don to be available (so not on a Sunday)or Paul returning to Hanksville before we are going to risk it turning the generator off. Don has been consulted on this (Paul is unavailable for comments) and gave the go ahead to keep the generator running.

Dishwasher Runs: 0
GreenHab:
Status: the watertank into which the greywatertank is emptied (trickle tanks) is not moving any water. the float switch is not working or??? I believe that I heard a whining noise from one of the pumps two days ago. could not find what it was, but it is no longer there. It might have been the pump of the trickle tanks. HOW do I check this? please send us the uptodate schematics on the GreenHab sot that Grant and I can work on this problem with the best of knowledge at hand.
Crops Watered: yes
Crop Condition: the growth experiment of Iahu-Anat is doing very well. seeds are sprouting and even some tiny green leaves are seen on the basil and the starcress.
Transportation:
V'ger Used: no
Oil Checked: no
Tire Status: good
Odometer: 184310 miles (no change since yesterday)
Kawasaki ATV-1 Used: no
Oil Checked: no
Tire Status: good
Kawasaki ATV-2 Used: no
Oil Checked: no
Tire Status: good
Kawasaki ATV-3 Used: no

Tire Status: flat right front tyre
Notes/Comments: V'ger is still in SLC. both ATVs are out of commission at the moment. Call Kawasaki for some new ones??
Miscellaneous Infrastructure:
HVAC: nothing to report
Mars Surface Suits: the last PLSS was put together again. PLSS-3 and PLSS-4 both have a problem with their airhoses into the pack. both are quite loose as the hose is broken somewhat. Stacy glued PLSS-3 hoses on. PLSS-4 still needs to be done.
Computers/Networking Infrastructure: is working fine
Notes/Comments: URGENT request for info on the GreenHab systems. As it is now the greywater tank will overflow. and if we pump it out the internal trickle tank will overflow.
