                  ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
 Observing Specialist: J.Barentine
 Yet another uneventful evening.  Opened at 19:50 to cool after Nicole
finished cals with the dome dark.  First half was calm with decent seeing.
Just before the handover at 01:00, Nicole reported that her slitview would
freeze if she tried to change the screen stretch of the images in the
display client to better see the slit with a short exposure.  After
fighting it for about 15 minutes, she gave up as it was right at the very
end of the half.  Second half was similarly quiet with usually good
seeing.
