"Mascotas" is Spanish for "pets." We now have a total of five geckos on board - Doc, Wyatt, Morgan, Virgil, and Bat Masterson. They all disappeared immediately upon being released from their capture containers and have not been seen since. According to the gecko websites, that is to be expected. So now we wait and see if the roach population decreases. We are a bit concerned that with five geckos, we will end up with at least one breeding pair. Then we could have the opposite problem - too many geckos and not enough bugs. I will then find out how to feed them until we can catch and get them safely ashore. This is an experiment, so who knows?
Yesterday and the day before Mike messed with the electrical system and fixed things so that almost everything reads out nicely on our energy displays, so we have a real good idea ofwhat is going in and what is coming out, energy-wise. In other words, we can see what we are using and what we are producing at any given time. And, the fridge is working perfectly.
To top things off, I made a perfect loaf of bread yesterday. I feel a sense of the sublime.
