I arrived about 12:30pm. It was clear, sunny and hot. The ground and grasses are dry and crispy. The pond is about half full and the trees still look good.

I swapped out the eight batteries remaining in the Tower battery bank sn BB-TT and replaced them with twelve new Duracell deep cycle marine group 27 lead acid batteries SLI27MDC from Batteries Plus. I had to replace one of the wooden pallets they sit on because it was rotting. Itâ€™s still a 12V system pending a major rewiring in the future.

The eight batteries I pulled off still tested good with the load tester. I used two to swap out weak fence charger batteries at the Tower and the Soil CO2 fences. Four others were added to the Floor battery bank sn BB-TF. The six there tested good too. There were five older and deader batteries there including the cracked one that I turned in for the core deposits. Two of the batteries that test good from the Tower and one of the dead fence batteries came back to the lab.

I made notes for rewiring the Tower power.

I found the CFM card I dropped about a month ago! It was about 4 inches from the Tower foundation.
