Water - Water was delivered today. First set of showers tomorrow. We are still doing bucket brigade for water to kitchen.

EVAs - 2 science EVAs were executed today:

• Morning EVA (Schubert, Snook) - collected desert varnish to sample for Boston
• Afternoon/Evening EVA (Morphew, Burbank) - tested microbiology sampling equipment and protocols.
  Interesting detour along Highway 24 on return trip. EVA suits performed beautifully.

Comms - Radio repeater not functioning, which limits EVA distance. Maintenance EVA will be performed tomorrow or Tuesday to attempt a repair if it turns out to be dead battery in the repeater. Request: please advice on make/model of battery inside the repeater so replacement can be installed if necessary.

Electricity - New hab wiring was successful - today the kitchen breaker tripped inside the hab. Computers and other sensitive equipment were not affected. No other power failures today.

Health and Safety - Protocols and equipment are being improved. More on this tomorrow.

Food - Nothing to report. Food continues to be delicious and time consuming.

Studio - Another song ("Goin' to Mars") is being recorded as I type this. This report will be brief. Poetry and lyrics are being generated by several crew members.

Captain - Captain Schubert is recording at the moment and won't be sending a Captain's Log tonight.

Operations - Crew getting very good at logging schedules and helping with planning. Collecting very good operations planning data.
