                ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
 Observing Specialist: J.Dembicky
 Clouds came in around 22:00 and closed us down for the rest of the night.
 The CU folks did NICFPS testing while we were closed.
 There wasn't much sign of improvement at 04:00 so we gave up (actually
 the CU folks were running some lamps on NICFP, but they were done for
 the night).
