                ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
 1st Half Observing Specialists: J.Barentine
 Opened the enclosure shortly before 17:00 to begin cooling, but closed at
18:15 as the clouds increased as well as to give the observers a chance to
do dome flats.  Around 21:00, just after opening up again, the clouds
thickened and the observers stopped their exposures.  Clouds persisted for
the rest of the half.
 2nd Half Observing Specialists: W.Ketzeback
 We were closed at midnight and never opened the rest of the night because of
 overcast skies.
