              ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
Observing Specialist:    J. Huehnerhoff
The Triplespec Aux tank was filled as part of regular checkout.
Ice on lightning arrestors caused wind restriction for tonight preventing
opening.  Shortly after sunset when skies started to clear humidity jumped
above closure limit.  Remainder of the night stayed humid.
