                  ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
 1st half Observing Specialist: R.McMillan
 Rain near sunset, fast-moving low clouds, and unpromising signs on
 the radar kept us closed for first half.
 2nd half Observing Specialist: W. Ketzeback
 The skies cleared at 01:45 but the humidity was very borderline. I
 remained closed. The humidity continued to rise above 90% and did
 not fall below save values the rest of the night.
