                ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
 1st Half Observing Specialist: J.Barentine
 Opened the enclosure at 20:12 under mostly clear skies and almost calm
winds.  Clouds came and went throughout the half, clearing toward midnight
although with the same northeasterly flow as last night which brought
typically poor seeing.
 2nd Half Observing Specialist: W.Ketzeback
 Second half had clear skies until right before twilight. The fire alarm
 sounded at 0500 (false alarm).
