                ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
 Observing Specialist: J. Barentine
 Rain from about 18:30 to 19:00 and clouds throughout the area kept us
closed for nearly all of first half.  Ricardo gave up shortly after 00:00
when it was clear he would not have enough time to do anything useful, and
the conditions were marginal besides.   Sloan opened shortly before 00:00
and I contemplated doing the same.  Seeing no imminent weather threats, I
opened at 00:20 to finally get cooling.
 Second half was uneventful except for frequent periods of poor seeing, up
around 2 arcseconds FWHM as confirmed by the numbers Sloan was getting
from their guide fibers.  We ran right up through the end of second half
before closing at about 05:20 for cals.
