Generator/Electricity: Main generator checked three times today. Ran without problem today, but visibly suffers from an oil leak. Some mutant that could breathe without a space suit came today to check the generator. We'll have some more news from him soon.

Run time: 3287.7 hrs
Oil added: 1.5 quarts
North tank: 57 (in use)
South tank: 87 (not in use)
08:15 check:
Run time: 3295.9 hrs
Oil added: 1.5 quarts

20:15 check:
Run time: 3307.8 hrs
Oil added: 1.5 quarts
North tank: 50 (in use)
South tank: 87 (not in use)
Computers / Networking: network is up, Internet is available, printer works.

Water: we refilled the internal tank at 20:23 from 5 to 55 Gal. We now can estimate the average water usage per person, that would be about 4.5 Gal.

Grey water: we stopped the grey water system in the greenhab to clean the tanks there.

GreenHab: At 1720 the GreenHab was entered during the EVA to empty the 'living machine'-system. Tanks 2 to 5 have been emptied using a pump to start the flow towards the leach field. Starting temperatures for the fans have been checked: south 90°F, north 75°F.

13:47 check:
min/max at door: 94°F left, 73°F right
min/max temp./hygrometer at shelf: 27°F/124°F;7%/65%
current temperature/humidity: 95°F/14%
Mercury thermometer at south door: 76°F
19:00 check:
min/max at door: 72°F left, 68°F right
current temperature/humidity: 75°F/18%
Mercury thermometer at south door: 70°F
Next Report: 04.30.2003, in the evening
