                ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
 Observing Specialist: G.Saurage
High humidity and nearby radar activity most of the night. Wet but not much
precipitation; fog at times. Never opened did some Agile testing.
There have been several spurious temp alarms for TripleSpec aux tank over the last
two days. The temps are fine but the frequency of false alarms warrants attention.
