                ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
 Observing Specialist, 1st shift: Russet McMillan, Jack Dembicky
 Even more clouds, fog, and training, as well as some off-sky tests
with the replacement for the DIS slitviewer.
 Observing Specialist, 2nd shift: Noel Camron Hastings
 Jack and I worked on refocusing and aligning the old DIS slit camera
again after the work on the new Apogee slit camera. It appears that the
Apogee focal plane is where it should be and it operates correctly
according to Jeff Morgan. We also checked the DIS collimators that
seemed to be moving in focus due to the temperature drop. Both DIS and
the slit camera are within operational limits now and ready for science,
whenever the sky is. Bad weather kept us from any of the on sky items,
such as pointing models or tests of the Apogee sensitivity.
