                ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
 Observing Specialist:  W.Ketzeback
 Wet wet night.
 I spent time with on site observer orientation first half.
 Second half we waited out the weather until it was clear we would miss
 the ingress of the occultaion and then the observer called it a night.
 By 0230 heavy snow showers started here. I decided to call it a night.
 I turned on the roof heaters, filled instruments, started the snow
 program and by 0330 headed off to bed.
