                ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
 Observing Specialists: J. Dembicky
 Dust (Pollen) and wind kept us closed until 03:20.  Just as I opened and
 got things going a couple site computers went down at around 03:23 (or
 maybe one key computer?).  The computer outage knocked the outside
 connections out to APO (including TUI connections).  TUI also was very
 sluggish in control from this end.  We also lost our weather info,
 cloudcam displays, and access to galileo.  I called Fritz and he looked
 into things from his end.  He had me reboot galileo and said he would
 fix the nameserver when he got in in the morning (by this time is was
 04:25 with only about 25 mins left before twilight).  A few minutes
 later my observer was again able to log in but we were too close to
 twilight and the dust levels were again over the closure limit.
