             ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
Clear with great seeing.  Never saw the forecasted high gusts.  Dust
occasionally up to 3K, but heavy dust in the basin never seemed to reach
us.
Had to reset the tspec slitviewer leach controller at the start of second
half.  Lost about 20 minutes.  Called Joe for help.  Thanks Joe!
Dis temp is great.
Tspec is mounted for cals.
Spicam heater is NOT on after using it first half.
