              ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
Observing Specialist: J.Dembicky
I left the fill cap off TSPEC last night.  I notice a bad boiloff temp (115k) on the instrument
this afternoon during checkout.
We fought with passing clouds all night.  I closed on a couple of occasions due to clouds and/or
radar echos nearby.  We didn't get any precipitation on site.
No Telescope Problems tonight.
DIS cals being taken in the morning by UC01 after I finished my last program.
