                 ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
 Observing Specialist, 1st Shift: Jack Dembicky
Turned roof heaters off at 17:00 and opened louvers/started exhaust fans
for cooling of the enclosure.  Opened enlosure at 17:45 under
moderate cirrus clouds.
L. Homer is here training on the 3.5m tonight.  I turned the instrument
(with my supervision) over to him at 18:40 under cirrus clouded skies.
Other than pesky cirrus clouds for most all of the 1st half and poor
seeing (1.5-2.0 arc sec) things ran very smoothly.
 Observing Specialist, 2nd Shift: Russet McMillan
 Second half was peaceful, with DIS observations under mostly clear
 skies or light cirrus.  Seeing was generally poor (1.5-2.5 arcsec),
 and there were some minor difficulties with the slitviewer control
 software, but everything else went well.
