                ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
 Observing Specialist, 1st shift: Russet McMillan
 Clouds and light rain kept us closed for most of first half, but we
 were able to open around 23:30 and take advantage of moderate seeing
 for a short while before more clouds appeared.
 Observing Specialist, 2nd shift: Noel Camron Hastings
 Clouds, clouds, clouds....Then we were able to open at the last minute
to focus through clouds and image sucker holes!
