General Engineering Notes/Comments:
I did inflate the front left tire of the old ATV and it seems to be OK. However, the reverse gear does not work. I will give another try tomorrow and see how it goes.
Also, Lisa and I did reorganize the Hazardous bucket according Shannon email. In addition, I sent her the picture where the entire hazardous products are stored for future crew.
We need a refill of water from DG; the outside tank is almost empty.
