Atv Five Notes And Comments:

Comments:

- Water Quantity: A large quantity of water was used today due to cleaning efforts by Crew 138.

Note on water quantity measurements: Using centimeters to measure the trailer tank water level is a bit ambiguous especially since the trailer is not flat and the water level on one side is higher than on the other so trying to calculate liters with this method is completely inaccurate. Since the flow meter is installed upstairs in the hab, this is the best and really only way to accurately measure how many gallons are being used. Measuring quantity for trailer tank should just be stated as full, 3/4, 1/2, empty and water usage should just be measured from flow meter upstairs. As of this evening, trailer tank is about 1/4 full.

- The Hab car should be cleaned to help deter inappropriate use. Shannon said she was going to talk to DG about this but would like to confirm.

- Diesel fuel for generator is at 0.25. Crew 137 said they used about 0.25 during their two week stay. Therefore we will most likely need a refill next week or prior to Crew 139.

- There is no downstairs thermostat so there is no need to report "Lower deck thermostat setting (Fahrenheit)".
