                              ACTIVITY LOG
(* means a trouble report has been issued or appended to)
Observing Specialist: deglman
The PMSS pressure alarm on the intermediate level went off at about 18:00,
20:00 and 20:20. In each case the pressure gauge was reading around 38.5
psi and the alarm quit after a few minutes.  Jon Davis came in and made
some adjustments.  No further problems.
During the intermediate level walk around, the enclosure motor gear box
nearest the controller had gear oil leaking out of it (with some drops on
the floor).  It was seeping out of the side check plug, which was fairly
loose.  The plug was then tightened and the oil cleaned up.
Due to afternoon PMSS problems, no test slews were done.  During the first
(program) slew the azimuth axis overshot by about 40 degrees clockwise and
then self-recovered.
Opened a bit late at 21:45 due to clouds.  Hazy most of the night and some
broken clouds, but remained open til dawn.  Uneventful night
observationally.  Closed dome at 05:15. The IRSC stalled 05:21.
