              ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
 Observing Specialist: G.Saurage
Thunderstorms; rain second half.
Something happened to the axis motors second half. While sitting in the park
position, all the axes reported port time out errors. I'm not sure when this began
as there was no audible alarm and I didn't notice the errors in the log window until
about 4 am. I tried to bring things back up but was unsuccessful. None of the
controllers were responding in talk to boxes. There was no chance of opening due to
weather anyway. More info in PR #1184.
ALSO:
The IR video feed from the dome went out about the same time during second half.
The weather status reporting for the 3.5m went out about 4:30am.
The alarm on UPS #5 was going off this morning too.
