              ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
Observing Specialist: A.Shugart
Triple spec had to be reinitialized to move the slit wheel. I followed the
wiki instructions and didn't have problems until it was time to observe. I
had to manually power-cycle the Tspec slitviewer, and follow the wiki
instructions for restart. Worked fine after that. Clouds rolled it at
19:00 and kept us closed for the majority of the final shift. Gave up at
6:10.
Closed at 1:43. Opened at 4:25. Closed at 5:30.
