   Deja Vu, day number 6...
   Yet again, like last night, tonight's plan was to check to see if the
recent azimuth control work improved pointing consistency, and take a model
if it had.  Off equator drift scanning is on tap once the model is
completed.
   Also like recent nights, the weather prevented us from opening tonight.
It was mostly cloudy until around 02:00.  It cleared off, but humidity
remained near 100%.
   We'll try again tomorrow for the pointing model.
   I filled the spectrograph transfer dewar at about 04:00.  I expect it
will need attention again by about 2 PM.
