                 ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
  Observing Specialist, 1st Shift: Russet McMillan
  Did not come in today due to weather and road conditions.
  Observing Specialist, 2nd Shift: Noel Camron Hastings
  Weather held with blowing snow early on and then cleared up. Snow and
  ice on the enclosure would not allow for opening. I plowed the
  parking lots, checked and filled instruments and watched as the
  battle for Florida raged in the presidential race. I found a
  possible problem with the 3.5m enclosure power surge suppressor and
  submitted a PR. Also, the axis controller failed once tonight. I
  disconnected the humidifier water solenoid valve again due to
  leakage. Jon Davis was in working on SPIcam, shoveling and
  such.
