                ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
 Observing Specialist, 1st Shift: Jack Dembicky
 I started cooling the enclosure at 16:00 (Fans & Louvers) and opened at
 17:15 under generally clear skies (some low clouds in the E/SE). UC04
 used the time with the Echelle that was originally allocated to PU04
 tonight since SPIcam is currently at UW undergoing repairs. I started
 DIMM at 17:30.  Clouds appeared at 21:40 and seem to be fast moving,
 but lots of them at times. I closed the enclosure at 22:35 due to clouds.
 Observing Specialist, 2nd Shift: Russet McMillan
 With clouds overhead for almost all of second half, the telescope was
 never re-opened.
