Narrative: John and Doug practiced using the portable Photo-Ionization Detector (PID) that had been provided to us by Pine Environmental of Atlanta. This time it was used for familiarization with the equipment in anticipation of future EVAs. Time was also spent looking through the "Antarctic Pile" for 10-guage wire to use for installing a water pump (see engineering report). After about 1.5 hours, Jan joined John and Doug for some ATV training in suits.
