                ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
 Observing Specialist, 1st Shift: Jack Dembicky
 Turned on cooling fans/louvers opened at 16:00.  Opened enclosure at
 17:10.  I had a problem with the NA2 guider imaging (all zero's) that
 Craig traced to a bad connection on the camera or controller box (He
 wiggled the wires and that seemed to fix the problem).  This delayed
 PU04 from starting earlier (no flats, only biases), but I was able to
 take 20 images for that program with 0.99 arc sec seeing in R. Aborted
 SPIcam on image 2237.0021 to hand over the instrument to the next
 program. Everything ran smoothly otherwise with 0.7 arc sec seeing later
 in the evening.
 Observing Specialist, 2nd Shift: Noel Camron Hastings
   Second half started with a GRIM problem, the old writing zeroes
problem we had late last year. Craig knew what it was and where to fix it
and we started on time after a quick inst switch.
   No strange noises heard from any motors tonight, all went smoothly.
