                ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
 1st Half Observing Specialist: J.Dembicky
 I started cooling the fans around 17:30 with cooling fans but rain soon
 started and I turned them off and the press fans back on.  Fog and a
 rainstorm hit us around 18:00.  Humidity levels stayed above closure for
 the remainder of the first half.
 2nd Half Observing Specialist: B.Ketzeback
 Overcast skies with off and on rain showers. My observer gave in at 0300.
 At 0330. The Sloan Enclosure Low Oxygen sensor alarm activated and then
 shut itself off. I woke French Ledger to investigate being concerned that
 even though there was no longer any alarm one of the the instruments may
 be in danger of warming. He reported it was a false alarm.
