Both mossbauers are working fine... the shortish half-life isotope sources are getting decidedly "tired", but that doesn't degrade data quality, you just have to integrate on-target several times longer than on Sol 1 to get the same signal-to-noise level.

Via Nasawatch live blog:
"Opportunity is doing great in terms of power - 600 watts. We are going to continue our clockwise rim traverse for a while. Not going to go all the way around. Need to put together a diagram as to how stratigraphy varies. As we go we are doing two things. Looking at alcoves for entrance/exit routes. One entrance point is at Duck bay - other at Bottomless Bay. Both may be adequate egress routes. We are also waiting for seasons to change for sun to move south so that when we enter alcoves we have enough power to do science on our way down."
