                ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
1st Half Observing Specialist: G.Saurage
Thick fog before sunset cleared for a bit during sunset only to reveal an
overcast sky above us. Rest of 1st half was fogged in and/or high
humidity.
Obs1 crashed tonight. It wasn't being used for anything at the time. I had
a radar webpage up in the echelle account and another user had some things
running in the arc account (I don't know what). At some point lines of
text were running across the screen saying something about a failed kernel
and needing to be restarted. I restarted it and everything seemed normal.
2nd Half Observing Specialist: R.McMillan
 Second half remained foggy.  I spent a few hours working with archived
 data.
