Log Book for March 14, 2005
Engineering Report
Stacy Sklar & Kelly Cole Reporting

Gasoline Generator:
Gasoline Consumption: 6.5 gallons since 4pm yesterday
Oil Level: Good - Stacy, Lindsay, and Kelly changed the oil at 2pm.

Propane Tank Level: 70%

Water:
Outside Level: 266.63 gallons remaining
Inside Tank Reading: 9 gallons remaining
Water Consumption: 35 gallons consumed

GreenHab:
Grey-Water Level: 33% As the little fish from "Finding Nemo" would say "Bubbles"!
Note: Today's flush count is 11. The reason it is higher this week is because we are a crew of all women, and we flush the toilet more often.

HVAC: There is nothing new to report.

Transportation: ATV #2 and #3 are still dead, and will be worked on tomorrow morning. We will be checking the battery connections (which are corroded) and then attempt to jump-start them. If this still doesn't work, the battery charger can be fixed (yes, it was broken) by attaching the jumper cables.

Mars-Suits: Stacy and Veronica fixed the exposed boning, fully repairing the zippers, except for one suit. There's a possibility it can be resurrected via WD40 or the more conventional olive oil. Images of the damaged suits can be requested from Tony.

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.
