                ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
 Observing Specialist: J.Dembicky
 I started cooling around 19:00 and opened the enclosure to further cool
 around 19:50 (after it looked like the dust and winds had subsided
 enough).
 Clouds became too thick around midnight and pretty much put a stop to
 any science for the rest of the night.  We gave up around 04:30 since
 there wasn't much chance in the clouds clearing out and getting anything
 useful in the remaining time.  The winds also went over the closure limit
 shortly after we gave up.
