Summary: Swapped solar system batteries, Licor clock 30 min ahead - fixed, was reservoir empty - filled.

East End
2016-03-24

I arrived at 9:00am. It was clear, sunny and warm. The cattail fluff has died down a bit. The wetland to the east is very green but to the west it is still just beginning. The levees have been mowed.

I swapped the batteries on the solar system sn BB-EE. Four old batteries were removed and six new group 27 deep cycle flooded batteries were installed. Five on the new batteries have a date on 2/16 and one is 1/16.

At the tower I restarted the camera. I think it only had 15 images on it. I checked the 7550. It was running with no errors, but its clock was about 30min ahead. When it read 9:31 I reset it to 9:02. The LI7700 RSSI was 32 and the wash reservoir was empty. I didn’t bring water with me so I went to Rio Vista and got distilled water at a super market on Hwy 12. Back at East End I filled the reservoir and cleaned the 7700. Afterwards the RSSI was 82.
