              ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
Observing Specialist:    J. Huehnerhoff
More snow and more wind.
Worked on DIS Linearity analysis.  Several sets of data reduced and
plotted but no results.
Around 4:30 MST the power kept switching from utility to generator.  This
caused compressor failure.  Resetting the overcurrent switch on the
compressors restarted them.
Currently the site is on manual generator power.
First user never checked in.
