with. g 1990 Journal 179 Big Red Reserve Six Nines in Monterey Co. Caly 400ft 9 June eggs are still in the styrofoam. I will wait for incubator to equilibrate then I'll put them in. The incubater is 115V and draws 40 watts. I have it set up on the specimen case in the laboratory near John's desk. It is out of direct sunlight. We are using an extension to run it off of the battery current. Toboki-80 to I-5 to 152w to 156W to Ds. Shoretrip Seems faster than going all the way to 680 or down I-5 to 156W. Also may be short cut to 152W via 33. I used a flashlight to candle them light means that there is a red translucent ball surrounded by lighter area it is not dark when 2216 hours hard to get incubator with proper wet bulb. Seems to be too humid ~92°F wet bulb and 100°F dry bulb. Have set reservoir at lowest point after having it off for 20 minutes. After 20 minutes without the reservoir the dry was 100°F and wet was 87°F, I am not confident to leave it over night without the reservoir so I put it back on. 2246 hrs incubator may have equilibrated set dry = 100°F and wet = 87°F. Eggs have been in incubater for 30 minutes now. I will wait 20 more minutes then go to sleep after a last check on the incubator. 0854 hours dry = 99°F, wet = 84°F 10 June 0526 hours dry bulb T = 100°F, wet T = 100°F There was no H₂O in pans. 0600 dry T = 99°F, wet T = 86°F. 0825 hours dry T = 97°F wet T = 86°F.
