Today was... frustrating on my part, but we also got a lot of work done. I discovered that I don't have all of the parts for *any* of my remaining engineering tasks. The t-ring terminals that Paul left for me (power meter) have disappeared and the fuseable link and 6ga wire for the C40 (which then impacts the Musk power) is nowhere to be found. Paul says new t-rings and fuseable links will get here tomorrow, but when stuff is left for a future project, it shouldn't disappear. And I dug through every box that wasn't inventoried and sealed with no sign of anything. Nor did I see any of it in Antarctica. So I guess I'll just have to work like a bee to get it finished later this week.

Anne finished patching the shower holes this morning (both the one between the knobs and the one around the shower head) and then she and Jan got the fill switch for the upstairs water tank installed after we accidentally gave Jenny another shower this morning. So that's another thing off our engineering task board.

I think I might have found James' screwdriver today. I at least found one fitting the description he gave me. I'm waiting for confirmation based on the picture I sent him. Later this week, when CMTV gets here, I'm going on EVA down Lowell Highway to see if I can find the charger for Paul's scope meter. It's like a treasure hunt!!

Since I couldn't get any actual wiring done for the power meter or the C40 today, I started building a box to house the shunts for the DC power because they won't fit in the fuse box and I don't want them exposed for people to poke their fingers into. I'll try to finish the box tomorrow morning so I can start getting the electrical stuff done in the afternoon. Fingers are crossed for everything getting here on time.
