                ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
 Observing Specialist, 1st & 2nd Shift: Noel Camron Hastings
 Weather kept us closed all night. Jon Davis finished up the SPIcam
 pumping and the leaks are gone. Chip was visually checked and images
 were taken that look good. Bets vacuum we have pulled it down to in
 a long time.
 I tried to install the new DIS slit wheel, but ran into a problem with
 the machining of the new wheel, so will test more before switching
over.
 Preliminary training for the Univ. of Minnesota observers that arrived
on
 site tonight for observing tomorrow.
