                ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
 Observing Specialist: B.Ketzeback
 Heavy thundershowers first half of the night. Second half was overcast with
 threatening storms in the area. I never felt it was safe enough to open.
 I spent the night working on my Fastcam project and researching cameras for
 another project.
 The dewpoint sensor was looked at by Craig today. He found it was experiencing
 many fan fault errors. He will look at it with mopre detail on tuesday. In
 the mean time we are to use the dewpoint sensor on the 2.5m.
