                ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
 Observing Specialist: J.Dembicky
 Cloudy all night tonight.  It looked like it was going to clear early on,
 but an approaching system kept us in clouds until it arrived later in the
 night.  Winds were pretty stiff as well and for most of the night the
 30-40MPH gusts. My observer gave up due to weather just before 4AM.
 I again worked on updating the web pages again tonight.
