Day 8 of the wait ...
Weather:  partly cloudy with rain on and off.  Winds at 10/15 mph and gusts
to 25 mph.  Low dust (~400).  The forecast was for thunderstorms and rain.
The engineering camera is still on the 2.5m and ready for a pointing model,
should the weather permit.
At 8:00 pm, it started to rain.  At 10:00 pm the lightening was impressive and
we continued with rain/drizzle till the end of the night.
We changed the 180L dewar for the camera at 3:00 am, and filled the intermediatedewar for the spectrographs at the same time.
We decided to concede defeat at 3:30 am MDT.
