              ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
Observing Specialist: A.Shelden, R.McMillan
echelle-sv had issues from the start.  After attempted reboots twice, I called Fritz.  Fritz found that the echelle-sv was not mounting the disk, and so was unable to write images.  He fixed it, but we lost 1.5 hours.  Thanks Fritz!!!
Note, this happened twice tonight.  We lost 0.9 hrs the second time.  Fritz said he thinks Nicfps is taking all the disk space.
Various other ecam issues.  PR 1289 assigned to Fritz.  In addition, we realized that when the disk was full, it started rewriting gimages from earlier tonight.  So we stopped and Russet set it to start from the highest number.
High wind starting at 04:00, but we pointed to the south and had no issues with tracking.
