                ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
 Observing Specialist: G.Saurage
During afternoon checkout I discovered the hub35m computer had been rebooted
sometime during the day. Many connections needed to be brought back up; including
telmech and gemech of which I needed Fritz's help. Echelle slitviewer was still not
coming up properly; see PR #1069.
Thin cirrus most of first half; Clearing more second. Things worked well all night.
