                  ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
 Observing Specialist: J.Dembicky
 I opened the dome and started cooling around 16:20 tonight.  The NA1
 guider seemed to be working when I checked it out, but the NA2 guider was
 still acting flakey.  Craig worked his magic (or something) and it
 started working again.
 Everything ran smooth tonight with only one minor problem of the
 observers Macintosh suddenly exiting Remark.  I had Jurek back up and
 running in about a minute.  No idea what happened, it just quit.  He had
 just finished taking a lamp cal.
