Day 9 of the wait ...
Weather:  Partly cloudy with rain on and off.  Winds at 10 mph and gusts
to 15 mph.  Low dust (~400).  The forecast was for thunderstorms and rain.
If nothing else, the weather is consistant and predicable.
The engineering camera is still(!) on the 2.5m and ready for a pointing model,
should the weather permit.
We talked to Connie R last night, and decided that there will be no new dewar
for the mosaic camera this evening.  When we talked to Adrian and Arrone, we
decided to let the spectrographs warm up too.  We shut down the mosaic camera
using the proceedure left by Jim Gunn and had no problems.
At about 9:45 pm, the humidity reached over 90%, and so we could not open.
This condition, along with the cloud cover lasted the rest of the night.
We called it a night at 3:20 am MDT.
Ellyne and Jeffrey
