                 ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
  Observing Specialists: J. Dembicky
  Russet caught the echelle warming in the afternoon and got it filling
  again.  Not sure why it wasn't auto filling, it was trying but the fill
  times were very short (4s) or strange (-710s).  She just happened to be
  up in the dome this afternoon when it attempted a fill and turned itself
  off a couple seconds later (which prompted Russet to check the temps.).
  PR was submitted.  Not sure of what this warming cycle will bring.  The
  temps during the night seemed to stabalize around -96C.  Nick is aware of
  the problem and will be monitoring the temps during the daytime.
  Obs-specs should keep an eye out for low LN2 consumption as a first sign
  of a possible problem.
  User had a problem getting slit images.  Recieved a http forbidden error.
  Gabrelle saw this a few months back and it souonded like the same
  problem, but no solution given.  see PR#599
