The water level in tank #5 has again decreased to approximately 10%. Tanks 3 and 5 no longer have bubbles. We have had better luck with the toilet today. It has been flushed about 9 times since this morning.

HVAC: There is nothing new to report.

Transportation: Don informed us about how to change the oil on the ATVs. Mark and Kari will be working on that tomorrow. He also gave us insight into why ATV 2 is most likely malfunctioning; he mentioned that it is probably a faulty connection to the battery. We will further investigate this tomorrow.

Computers & Network: There is nothing new to report.

Data Logger: We are still looking for the serial plug required for operating the HOBO weather station.
