COMMENT: Mon Jan 26 23:27:11 GMT 2004 Erected tent frame in Carrol spar/COR1 housing. Removed shreds of old tarp that was held down with a 2X4 screwed down to the north side of the shelter base. Decided, in lieu of the bad weather we've been having and the continued bad weather forecast, that we'd not put out the new tarp until it is needed to prevent it from shredding like the old one. Carrol spar remains covered by the remnamts of the old tarp. WEATHER COMMENT: Mon Jan 26 23:36:29 GMT 2004 In fog.
