Notes/Comments: James put the settings of the inverter back to the specified ones. Xantrex seems to run normal now and synchronize well with Wendy, but we will keep monitoring. Also, the software showing Xantrex display on the MUSK (yellow) computer has been turned off by taking out the serial connection. I will turn it back on tomorrow.
Fuel Status (as of 18:15):
Diesel: Approximate Reading - 3/4
Propane Tank: Approximate Reading - 66% (660 gallons = 2498.4 L)

Quantity Remaining: 33 gallons = 124.9 L
Oil:
GenSet Quantity: 0 quarts
ATV Quantity: 10.5 quarts
V'ger Quantity: 14.5 quarts
Notes/Comments: We're not 100% sure about the which oil is used for GenSet, ATV, and V'ger, so here is a count based on oil type:
10W-40 12 quarts
10W-30 3 quarts
20W-50 ~2.5 quarts
Water Status:
Outside Potable Water Tank Level: 100 gallons = 378.5 L
Trailer Potable Water Tank Level: 150 cm from the base

Sponge Baths: 0
Tonight's Meter Readings:
Out to Toilet: 1474.3 (+20.4 since yesterday)
In to GreenHab: 8858.6 (+113.6 since yesterday)
Notes/Comments: Don dropped a full trailer today we are currently filling the outside tank. The reporting above reflects the data readings before the actual refilling of the outside potable water tank. Also, the 5th aquatic tank has stayed full to nearly full level today.
GreenHab:
Crops Watered: yes
Crop Condition: Will upload photos of the plants tonight on WebDAV. It may be that some plants are getting too much light and it may be that some plants have gotten too much water in the past.
Transportation:
V'ger: Used - no
Oil Checked: no
Fuel Consumed: 0 gallons = 0 L
Tire Status:
Kawasaki ATV 1: Used - no

Fuel Consumed: 0 gallons = 0 L
Tire Status: good
Kawasaki ATV 2: Used - no
Oil Checked: no
Fuel Consumed: 0 gallons = 0 L
Tire Status: left back tire would need some air
Kawasaki ATV 3: Used - no
Oil Checked: no
Fuel Consumed: 0 gallons = 0 L
Tire Status: good
Notes/Comments: Will do a thorough check on the ATVs tomorrow
HVAC: Xantrex seems to be on the improving, but the heater still only turns on when Wendy is running (need to use the breaker trick to get it started though). When Wendy is off the heater won't turn on, not even with the breaker trick. The heater's LED is blinking, which according to the description on the lid indicates that there is a polarity problem.
Mars Surface Suits: We two EVAs today that were run in parallel. Haven't had time to repair any of the suits yet. Photos of their conditions can be found at: /Crew46/Spacesuits
Computers/Networking Infrastructure: Nothing further to report.
Appliances: Yesterday the spark button on the stove broke off. We are currently using matches to use the stove. Some matches will be bought by James within the next couple of days.
Data Logger: Nothing further to report.
Upgrade Work: Some painting and thorough cleaning was done in the hab.
Notes/Comments: Nothing further to report.
