Still working on the list.  The overview:

  • completed a first round of soil samples
  • completed a first round of radiometer and ec150 cleaning
  • completed the removal of stuff from the first base location at Ken's
  • all that is left is the theodolite scan.  We're thinking of how this can be done.

April and Co. have down days for a while as the weather forecast has higher winds and more precip than they want.  (Though only the lightest of drizzle for a few minutes this morning.)

The details:

~1530 did a bunch of power tests, involving turning off rel1/rel2/relm networking/various sensors.  Found that the power monitor connected to relt is actually measuring the power to relm+rel1.  Oops.

Afternoon round:

~1630 changed power monitor connected to relt to monitor the power supplying relt+rel2.  Previously (by mistake) it had been monitoring power to relm+rel1.

1638 soil sample at corn

1648 soil sample at grass
