                ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
 1st half Observing Specialists: G.Saurage
 Local radar blips and a clearly ominous cloud to the E at sunset delayed
 opening. Thin clouds but moderate humidity rest of 1st half.
 2nd half Observing Specialists: R.McMillan
 A thunderstorm developed to the east but didn't send anything our
 way except a few photons from lightning.  The sky was photometric
 most of second half, and everything worked well.
