I arrived at Vaira about 2pm. There seemed to be nothing wrong with the web camera, it had collected photos starting Thursday morning at 10am through present (Friday at 1400). Still missing images from 10-28 through 11-12. Whatever Siyan did when she visited the site Thursday morning seems to have fixed the problem.

I check the computer and data logger clocks - they were ahead by about 5 minutes according to my cell phone. The computer is set not to use daylight savings time.

When the computer said 2:25 I reset it to 2:20pm
When the datalogger said 2:41:10 I reset it to 2:36:02pm

At Tonzi Tower I check the clocks. The computer and data logger clocks were ahead by about 2.5 minutes. Computer is set not to use daylight savings time.

when the computer said 3:08:30 I reset it to 3:06:00pm
when CR10X7 said 15:10:50 I reset it to 15:08:21
when CR10X9 said 15:11:40 I reset it to 15:09:10
when CR10X10 said 15:12:30 I reset it to 15:10:00

I checked the two spare car batteries that Siyan brought from Vaira to Tonzi. They were both very low in charge and in water. I filled all but one cell before running out of water and hooked them up the spare solar panel on the ground to the west of the tower.
