              ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
 Observing Specialist: G.Saurage
Thunderstorms moving through the area during the day moved far enough west a few
hours after sunset to allow us to open. Clearing more second half.
Mirror covers spontaneously stopped responding to auto command after they had been
working for awhile. Used the key to reset and worked fine rest of night.
