                  ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
 Observing Specialist: Noel Camron Hastings
 Tonight a large storm blew in around late afternoon and began raining
 continuously for a few hours. This delayed opening for a bit. That
 was good, because out New Mexico State remote observer was a NO-SHOW
 tonight. I tried to call all contact numbers listed in the proposal,
 and I tried calling the PI without luck. I tried offering the time to
 another NM observer without success. I was informed of a possible
 4th of July party going on where some of the grad students might
 have been. I tried that number without success. In the end I was
 about to start engineering work when we realized that Peregrine McGhee
 is on the books as a NM program and was on site early for his run
 tomorrow. He was given all DIS time tonight and successfully used
 most of it with good seeing. We were able to open at 22:30 MDT and
 after some focus and pointing corrections, all ran smoothly. We ended
 a little early due to Peregrine's targets setting.
