                ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
 Observing Specialist, 1st Shift: Russet McMillan
 Some difficulties with DIS complicated the afternoon checkout, so the
 dome wasn't opened until after sunset.  Observing with the Echelle
 went smoothly in conditions of excellent seeing but variable high
 clouds.
 The second-half time originally scheduled for NM05 was given to UW02
 by official swap.
 Observing Specialist, 2nd Shift: Noel Camron Hastings
 Second half went smoothly. DIS observations went well and no troubles
were encountered. Seeing became quite bad as the thick clouds moved in
around 01:30 MST.
