                ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
 Observing Specialist, 1st & 2nd shift: Eddie Bergeron
 Opened at 19:05 to partly cloudy skies. The thin clouds were gone by
 20:00 and it remained clear the rest of the night. On-site observer had no
 problems except for a strange "infinite loop" in remark when he
 accidentally put in a 0.0 exptime, and it wouldn't let him correct it.
 Had to reboot Obs2 to clear it. We tried to reproduce the error this morning
 but were unsuccessful. Also had 3 grim ICC hangs ("error type 1") which
 required quick reboots of the grim mac.
