                ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
 Observing Specialist, 1st shift: Russet McMillan
 First half was partly cloudy with excellent seeing -- I'm not sure
 exactly how good, since both GRIM and the guider were undersampled,
 and the guider was not running most of the time in any case.  After
 several nights of struggle, I managed to get DIMM working again, but
 it thought the seeing was pretty bad.
 We had several crashes of the GRIM ICC, each quick to correct but
 together costing some time. There was also some misbehavior of the
 script in use, which had us confused for a while.  Otherwise,
 everything went smoothly.
 Observing Specialist, 2nd shift: Noel Camron Hastings
 I began second half with DIS, all went well with instrument and
telescope. As far as I know, DIMM failed again and was not ran second
half, it was off and I believe that Russet said it ran for a short while
only and that perhaps the laptop disk is full.
